the checks it's doing are duplicated in sys_brk() and failing them early makes no sense, AFAICT.

The comment in there used to be true, but these days do_brk() does the arch-specific check that covers what we open-coded here. So we can use sys_brk() just fine, only need to do force_successful_syscall_return() after it. See commit 3a459756810912d2c2bf188cef566af255936b4d - that's when the checks in do_brk() had been originally added. Signed-off-by: Al Viro --- arch/...

I have a 401K rolling over to an IRA at the end of the year and have been working on building a portfolio of primarily index funds for the rollover. Based on comments from this board and others, I am considering using BRK to replace my large cap index funds. My current large cap allocation works out to be about 90K. So my questions are: 1. Is this a good idea? Makes sense if BRK is truly...

On page 93 of the 2008 brk. annual report, under the intrinsic value heading, WEB states; "Now, our book value far(the word far in italics) understates Berkshire's intrinsic value..." With book value now over 80k and the stock price under 100k, I'm thinking the spread is not FAR enough.
