commit 2efc459d06f1630001e3984854848a5647086232 upstream.
Output defects can exist in sysfs content using sprintf and snprintf.
sprintf does not know the PAGE_SIZE maximum of the temporary buffer
used for outputting sysfs content and it's possible to overrun the
PAGE_SIZE buffer length.
Add a generic sysfs_emit function that knows that the size of the
temporary buffer and ensures that no overrun is done.
Add a generic sysfs_emit_at function that can be used in multiple
call situations that also ensures that no overrun is done.
Validate the output buffer argument to be page aligned.
Validate the offset len argument to be within the PAGE_SIZE buf.

commit b3656d8227f4c45812c6b40815d8f4e446ed372a upstream.
Patch series "Fix some seq_file users that were recently broken".
A recent change to seq_file broke some users which were using seq_file
in a non-"standard" way ... though the "standard" isn't documented, so
they can be excused. The result is a possible leak - of memory in one
case, of references to a 'transport' in the other.
These three patches:
1/ document and explain the problem
2/ fix the problem user in x86
3/ fix the problem user in net/sctp
This patch (of 3):
Users of seq_file will sometimes find it convenient to take a resource,
such as a lock or memory allocation, in the ->start or ->next operations.
These are per-entry resources, distinct from per-session resources which
are taken in ->start and released in ->stop.
The preferred management of these is release the resource on the
subsequent call to ->next or ->stop.
However prior to Commit 1f4aace60b0e ("fs/seq_file.c: simplify seq_file
iteration code and interface") it happened that ->show would always be
called after ->start or ->next, and a few users chose to release the
resource in ->show.
This is no longer reliable. Since the mentioned commit, ->next will
always come after a successful ->show (to ensure m->index is updated
correctly), so the original ordering cannot be maintained.
This patch updates the documentation to clearly state the required
behaviour. Other patches will fix the few problematic users.

commit d3a84a8d0dde4e26bc084b36ffcbdc5932ac85e2 upstream.
The basic permission bits (protection bits in AmigaOS) have been broken
in Linux' AFFS - it would only set bits, but never delete them.
Also, contrary to the documentation, the Archived bit was not handled.
Let's fix this for good, and set the bits such that Linux and classic
AmigaOS can coexist in the most peaceful manner.
Also, update the documentation to represent the current state of things.
