[PATCH 2/2] arch/arm/common: Eliminate use after free
From: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> __sa1111_remove always frees its argument, so the subsequent reference to sachip->saved_state represents a use after free. __sa1111_remove does not appear to use the saved_state field, so the patch simply frees it first. A simplified version of the semantic patch that finds t... 30 Jul 2010 11:53

[PATCH 1/2] drivers/serial/icom.c: Eliminate use after free
From: Julia Lawall <julia(a)diku.dk> Release_firmware has two definitions, one of which does nothing (include/linux/firmware.h) and one of which always frees its argument (drivers/base/firmware_class.c). If the latter can be used, the access to the size field inthe argument of writeb represents a use after free. ... 30 Jul 2010 11:53

Rationale for wall clocks
Hi! To begin with, there are two main things that my patches concern: A) Limited access to POSIX CPU clocks B) Access to wall time information of a process/thread. By CPU time I understand "user time" + "system time". The scenerio I have, is (making the long story short) that my process supervises a set... 30 Jul 2010 11:52

SATA / AHCI: Do not play with the link PM during suspend to RAM
Hello, Rafael. Sorry about the delay. There was a tiny crisis here and the whole link pm seems to need a lot more work than I originally expected. I'm working on it now.
