Chen, Kenneth W	295bd89279	[IA64] make exception handler in copy_user more robust ... The exception handler in copy user always expects fault occurs only on user space address and the fall back recovery code is written with that very assumption in mind. Recent source code inspection revealed that while it worked splendid and to the expectation under normal circumstances, It broke down under unexpected condition where some address calculation might go outside the legal address range the original copy_user was called for. This patch is to make copy_user exception handler more robust and to prevent potential memory corruption.

Keith Owens	6118ec847e	[IA64] __copy_user breaks on unaligned src ... memcpy_mck.S::__copy_user breaks in the prefetch code under these conditions :- * src is unaligned and * dst is near the end of a page and * the page after dst is unmapped.

Linus Torvalds	1da177e4c3	Linux-2.6.12-rc2 ... Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!	20 years ago
