There is a ton of evidence both in computing and outside of it which

Hello
I want to use SPI on a at91rm9200ek. The SPI starts and the dataflash is

1 2 3 are well detected but the 0 fails also with the same error code.

x86_32 CONFIG_HIGHMEM64G with 5GB RAM hung when booting, after issuing
some "request_module: runaway loop modprobe binfmt-" messages in
trying to exec /sbin/init.
The binprm buf doesn't see the right ".ELF" header because sg_phys()

I have different deal breakers.
If a LSM is something simple/commonly required it should be made like
posix file capability's provided to all to use. Sorry to say I see
the file protection in apparmor as something everyone should be able
to use at will like posix file capability's. All enforcem

Add a new resource_len() function, so drivers can start using this
instead of driver-private code for a common idiom. The call can be
useful with at least:
- request_region(), release_region()
- request_mem_region(), release_mem_region()
- ioremap()
Candidate drivers include those using platf
