Here's some things which need to get fixed, courtesy of Alan Cox:
* Documentation/parisc/unwritten appears out of date
* cache_init wants some printk DEBUG levels adding
[In general grep printk(\" is useful to check]
* arch/parisc/kernel/irq.c has an unchecked kmalloc around line 550.
* led_get_net_stats() is interrupt-unsafe.
* ptrace is chock-full of intrusive debug code. either remove it or
macroise it.
* smp_call_function has problems:
If the calling thread is real time it wont yield - you need to use
a timeout
How do we handle IPI failures or retransmits?
* Why does the superio driver BUG and thus oops rather than printking an
error and continuing without that driver ?
* binfmt_som still uses the old strlen_user and needs revisiting to solve
DoS issues
* extern asmlinkage long sys32_sysctl(struct __sysctl_args32 *args) is
a little strange. Also shouldnt oldlen32 be unsigned ?
