90cb28e Revert "[PATCH] binfmt_elf: randomize PIE binaries (2nd try)" This reverts commit 59287c0913cc9a6c75712a775f6c1c1ef418ef3b. Hugh Dickins reports that it causes random failures on x86 with SuSE 10.2, and points out "Isn't that randomization, anywhere from 0x10000 to ELF_ET_DYN_BASE, sure to place the ET_DYN from time to time just where the comment says it's trying to avoid? I assume that somehow results in the error reported." (where the comment in question is the existing comment in the source code about mmap/brk clashes).

af3e095 [PATCH] connector: some fixes for ia64 unaligned access errors On ia64, the various functions that make up cn_proc.c cause kernel unaligned access errors. If you are using these, for example, to get notification about all tasks forking and exiting, you get multiple unaligned access errors per process. Use put_unaligned() in the appropriate palces to fix this.

d63b709 [PATCH] fix garbage instead of zeroes in UFS Looks like this is the problem, which point Al Viro some time ago: ufs's get_block callback allocates 16k of disk at a time, and links that entire 16k into the file's metadata. But because get_block is called for only a single buffer_head (a 2k buffer_head in this case?) we are only able to tell the VFS that this 2k is buffer_new(). So when ufs_getfrag_block() is later called to map some more data in the file, and when that data resides within the remaining 14k of this fragment, ufs_getfrag_block() will incorrectly return a !buffer_new() buffer_head. I don't see _right_ way to do nullification of whole block, if use inode page cache, some pages may be outside of inode limits (inode size), and will be lost; if use blockdev page cache it is possible to zero real data, if later inode page cache will be used. The simpliest way, as can I see usage of block device page cache, but not only mark dirty, but also sync it during "nullification". I use my simple tests collection, which I used for check that create,open,write,read,close works on ufs, and I see that this patch makes ufs code 18% slower then before.

f2e12bb [PATCH] Check for populated zone in __drain_pages Both process_zones() and drain_node_pages() check for populated zones before touching pagesets. However, __drain_pages does not do so, This may result in a NULL pointer dereference for pagesets in unpopulated zones if a NUMA setup is combined with cpu hotplug. Initially the unpopulated zone has the pcp pointers pointing to the boot pagesets. Since the zone is not populated the boot pageset pointers will not be changed during page allocator and slab bootstrap. If a cpu is later brought down (first call to __drain_pages()) then the pcp pointers for cpus in unpopulated zones are set to NULL since __drain_pages does not first check for an unpopulated zone. If the cpu is then brought up again then we call process_zones() which will ignore the unpopulated zone. So the pageset pointers will still be NULL. If the cpu is then again brought down then __drain_pages will attempt to drain pages by following the NULL pageset pointer for unpopulated zones.

6929da4 [PATCH] hpt37x: Two important bug fixes The HPT37x driver very carefully handles DMA completions and the needed fixups are done on pci registers 0x50 and 0x52. This is unfortunate because the actual registers are 0x50 and 0x54. Fixing this offset cures the second channel problems reported. Secondly there are some problems with the HPT370 and certain ATA drives. The filter code however only filters ATAPI devices due to a reversed type check.

cea0f0e [PATCH] KVM: MMU: Shadow page table caching Define a hashtable for caching shadow page tables. Look up the cache on context switch (cr3 change) or during page faults. The key to the cache is a combination of - the guest page table frame number - the number of paging levels in the guest * we can cache real mode, 32-bit mode, pae, and long mode page tables simultaneously. this is useful for smp bootup. - the guest page table table * some kernels use a page as both a page table and a page directory. this allows multiple shadow pages to exist for that page, one per level - the "quadrant" * 32-bit mode page tables span 4MB, whereas a shadow page table spans 2MB. similarly, a 32-bit page directory spans 4GB, while a shadow page directory spans 1GB. the quadrant allows caching up to 4 shadow page tables for one guest page in one level. - a "metaphysical" bit * for real mode, and for pse pages, there is no guest page table, so set the bit to avoid write protecting the page.

This is useful to avoid excessive exits due to changing, for example, the ts flag. It also means the kvm's copy of cr0 and cr4 may be stale with respect to these bits. most of the time this doesn't matter as these bits are not very interesting.

cb26b57 [PATCH] Update the rtc-rs5c372 driver Bugfixes: - Handle RTCs which are configured to use 12-hour mode. - Never report bogus/un-initialized times. - Displaying "raw trim" requires not masking it first! - Fix the sysfs and procfs display of crystal and trim data. Features: - Handle other RTCs in this family, notably rv5c386/rv5c387. - Declare the other registers. - Provide alarm get/set functionality. - Handle AIE and UIE; but no IRQ handling yet. Cleanup: - Shrink object by not including needless sysfs or procfs support - We don't need no steenkin' forward declarations. (Except one.) Until the I2C framework merges "new style" driver support, matching the driver model better, using rv5c chips or alarm IRQs requires a separate board-specific patch. (And an IRQ handler, handing off labor through a work_struct...) This uses the "method 3" register reads, but notes that it's done to work around an evident i2c adapter driver bug.

be6aab0 [PATCH] fix memory corruption from misinterpreted bad_inode_ops return values CVE-2006-5753 is for a case where an inode can be marked bad, switching the ops to bad_inode_ops, which are all connected as: static int return_EIO(void) { return -EIO; } #define EIO_ERROR ((void *) (return_EIO)) static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops = { .create = bad_inode_create ...etc... The problem here is that the void cast causes return types to not be promoted, and for ops such as listxattr which expect more than 32 bits of return value, the 32-bit -EIO is interpreted as a large positive 64-bit number, i.e. 0x00000000fffffffa instead of 0xfffffffa. This goes particularly badly when the return value is taken as a number of bytes to copy into, say, a user's buffer for example... I originally had coded up the fix by creating a return_EIO_<TYPE> macro for each return type, like this: static int return_EIO_int(void) { return -EIO; } #define EIO_ERROR_INT ((void *) (return_EIO_int)) static struct inode_operations bad_inode_ops = { .create = EIO_ERROR_INT, ...etc... but Al felt that it was probably better to create an EIO-returner for each actual op signature. Since so few ops share a signature, I just went ahead & created an EIO function for each individual file & inode op that returns a value.

c1150d8 [PATCH] KVM: Improve interrupt response The current interrupt injection mechanism might delay an interrupt under the following circumstances: - if injection fails because the guest is not interruptible (rflags.IF clear, or after a 'mov ss' or 'sti' instruction). Userspace can check rflags, but the other cases or not testable under the current API. - if injection fails because of a fault during delivery. This probably never happens under normal guests. - if injection fails due to a physical interrupt causing a vmexit so that it can be handled by the host. In all cases the guest proceeds without processing the interrupt, reducing the interactive feel and interrupt throughput of the guest. This patch fixes the situation by allowing userspace to request an exit when the 'interrupt window' opens, so that it can re-inject the interrupt at the right time. Guest interactivity is very visibly improved.

6ae4adf [PATCH] PCI: prevent down_read when pci_devices is empty The pci_find_subsys gets called very early by obsolete ide setup parameters. This is a bogus call since pci is not initialized yet, so the list is empty. But in the mean time, interrupts get enabled by down_read. This can result in a kernel panic when the irq controller gets initialized. This patch checks if the device list is empty before taking the semaphore, and hence will not enable irq's. Furthermore it will inform that it is called while pci_devices is empty as a reminder that the ide code needs to be fixed. The pci_get_subsys can get called in the same manner, and as such is patched in the same manner.

4f45d03 USB: usblp.c - add Kyocera Mita FS 820 to list of "quirky" printers This patch gets the Kyocera FS-820 working with cups 1.2 via usb again. It adds the printer to the list of "quirky" printers. The printer seems not answer to ID requests some seconds after plugging in. Patch is based on linux-2.6.19.1. Background: As far as I could see (strace, usbmon), the Kyocera FS-820 answers to ID requests only a few seconds after plugging it in. This applies to detecting it with cups and is also true for the printing itself, which is initiated with an ID request. Since I have little usb knowledge, maybe someone can interpret the data, especially the fist bulk transfer - why request 8192 bytes?

Later motherboards don't seem to have the bug. (In fact, it's possible that only one motherboard in the world has the bug. With only one user reporting problems, it's hard to tell.)

I noticed that hardware init is done after requesting irq. Thus any pending irq from previous hardware usage may cause this.
