This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled sparc: Let memset return the address argument to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.11. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From 8d206bf01d987675a5cbaa99bcd592ded650aa85 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Andreas Larsson <andreas@gaisler.com> Date: Fri, 29 Aug 2014 17:08:21 +0200 Subject: sparc: Let memset return the address argument [ Upstream commit 74cad25c076a2f5253312c2fe82d1a4daecc1323 ] This makes memset follow the standard (instead of returning 0 on success). This is needed when certain versions of gcc optimizes around memset calls and assume that the address argument is preserved in %o0.
