Viresh Kumar dfffa587a6 err.h: add (missing) unlikely() to IS_ERR_OR_NULL()
IS_ERR_VALUE() already contains it and so we need to add this only to
the !ptr check.  That will allow users of IS_ERR_OR_NULL(), to not add
this compiler flag.

Joe Perches a5ed3cee94 err.h: use bool for IS_ERR and IS_ERR_OR_NULL
Use the more natural return of bool for these tests.

No difference observed in .o files produced by gcc for x86.

Remove the dentry description of kernel pointers left over from the 90's
and 2002's cleanup move of parts of fs.h to err.h.

Rusty Russell 6e8b8726ad PTR_RET is now PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO
True, it's often used in return statements, but after much bikeshedding
it's probably better to have an explicit name.

(I tried just putting the IS_ERR check inside PTR_ERR itself and gcc
usually generated no more code.  But that clashes current expectations
of how PTR_ERR behaves, so having a separate function is better).

Dan Carpenter e7152b97f3 err.h: IS_ERR() can accept __user pointers
Sparse generates a false positive when you pass a __user or __iomem
pointer to the IS_ERR() functions.

  drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1286.c:344:36: sparse: incorrect type in argument 1 (different address spaces)
  drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1286.c:344:36:    expected void const *ptr
  drivers/rtc/rtc-ds1286.c:344:36:    got unsigned int [noderef] [usertype] <asn:2>*rtcregs

We can silence these by adding a __force here and upgrading to Sparse
v0.4.5-rc1 or later.

This change has no effect when using current Sparse releases.

Uwe Kleine-König fa9ee9c4b9 include/linux/err.h: add a function to cast error-pointers to a return value
PTR_RET() can be used if you have an error-pointer and are only interested
in the eventual error value, but not the pointer.  Yields the usual 0 for
no error, -ESOMETHING otherwise.

Jani Nikula e47103b1af err.h: add __must_check to error pointer handlers
Add __must_check to error pointer handlers to have the compiler warn about
mistakes like:

	if (err)
		ERR_PTR(err);

It found two bugs:

Mar 12 Nikula Jani [PATCH] enclosure: fix error path - actually return ERR_PTR() on error
Mar 12 Nikula Jani [PATCH] sunrpc: fix error path - actually return ERR_PTR() on error

Phil Carmody 603c4ba96b err.h: add helper function to simplify pointer error checking
There are quite a few instances in the kernel of checks of pointers both
against NULL and against the errno range, handling both cases identically.
This additional helper function would simplify such code.

David Howells d1bc8e9544 Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co.
Add an ERR_CAST() function to complement ERR_PTR and co.  for the purposes
of casting an error entyped as one pointer type to an error of another
pointer type whilst making it explicit as to what is going on.

This provides a replacement for the ERR_PTR(PTR_ERR(p)) construct.

Linus Torvalds 07ab67c8d0 Fix get_unmapped_area sanity tests
As noted by Chris Wright, we need to do the full range of tests regardless
of whether MAP_FIXED is set or not, so re-organize get_unmapped_area()
slightly to do the sanity checks unconditionally.

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!
