| 8cd8fa5 | Jeff Dike | 15 November 2007, 00:58:53 UTC | uml: update address space affected by pud_clear pud_clear wasn't setting the _PAGE_NEWPAGE bit, fooling tlb_flush into thinking that this area of the address space was up-to-date and not unmapping whatever was covered by the pud. This manifested itself as ldconfig on x86_64 complaining about the first library it looked at not being a valid ELF file. A config file is mapped at 0x4000000, as the only thing mapped under its pud, and unmapped. The unmapping caused a pud_clear, which, due to this bug, didn't actually unmap the config file data on the host. The first library is then mapped at the same location, but is not actually mapped on the host because accesses to it cause no page faults. As a result, ldconfig sees the old config file data.

| a4b1d50 | David Brownell | 15 November 2007, 00:58:30 UTC | RTCs: handle NVRAM better Several of the RTC drivers are exporting binary "nvram" files in sysfs. Such NVRAM (or on many systems, EEPROM) data is often initialized during system manufacture to hold data about identity (serial numbers, Ethernet addresses, etc), configuration, calibration, and so forth. This patch improves integrity and security of those files: - Correctly initializes the size in one of the two cases where that was not yet being done. - Improves system security/integrity by making this state not be world-writable by default. Letting arbitrary userspace code mangle such state by default is at least Not A Good Thing; and it could sometimes be worse, depending on the particular data that might be corrupted. (I disregard the paranoiac "don't let anyone read it either" approach. Anyone storing passwords in such memory doesn't really care about security.)

| 0b832a4 | Linus Torvalds | 13 November 2007, 16:07:31 UTC | Revert "ext2/ext3/ext4: add block bitmap validation" This reverts commit 7c9e69faa28027913ee059c285a5ea8382e24b5d, fixing up conflicts in fs/ext4/balloc.c manually. The cost of doing the bitmap validation on each lookup - even when the bitmap is cached - is absolutely prohibitive. We could, and probably should, do it only when adding the bitmap to the buffer cache. However, right now we are better off just reverting it. Peter Zijlstra measured the cost of this extra validation as a 85% decrease in cached iozone, and while I had a patch that took it down to just 17% by not being _quite_ so stupid in the validation, it was still a big slowdown that could have been avoided by just doing it right.

This patch makes touching the napi struct in suspend/resume code paths depend on having the interface up, thereby fixing the hang on suspend.

Without this fix it is possible, for example, to traverse from an export without the secure ports requirement to one with it in a single compound, and bypass the secure port check on the new export.

Appended patch fixes it by doing clts() if the app doesn't touch FP during the signal handler execution. This will stop generating a DNA, during the fxrstor in the sigreturn.

| 00ec99d | Roland McGrath | 12 November 2007, 03:13:43 UTC | core dump: remain dumpable The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped). The effect of this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own process--in a case where there was never any privileged data to protect. This affects e.g. auxv, environ, fd; in Fedora (execshield) kernels, also maps. In practice, you can only notice this when a debugger has requested PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT tracing. set_dumpable was only used in do_coredump for synchronization and not intended for any security purpose. (It doesn't secure anything that wasn't already unsecured when a process dies by SIGTERM instead of SIGQUIT.) This changes do_coredump to check the core_waiters count as the means of synchronization, which is sufficient. Now we leave the "dumpable" bits alone.

| 9abed24 | Jesper Juhl | 11 November 2007, 22:57:49 UTC | Fix memory leak in discard case of sctp_sf_abort_violation() In net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c::sctp_sf_abort_violation() we may leak the storage allocated for 'abort' by returning from the function without using or freeing it. This happens in case "sctp_auth_recv_cid(SCTP_CID_ABORT, asoc)" is true and we jump to the 'discard' label. Spotted by the Coverity checker. The simple fix is to simply move the creation of the "abort chunk" to after the possible jump to the 'discard' label. This way we don't even have to allocate the memory at all in the problem case.

| 42b36cc | Rusty Russell | 12 November 2007, 02:39:18 UTC | virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest). So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

| 1bc4953 | Anthony Liguori | 07 November 2007, 21:49:24 UTC | virtio: Fix used_idx wrap-around The more_used() function compares the vq->vring.used->idx with last_used_idx. Since vq->vring.used->idx is a 16-bit integer, and last_used_idx is an unsigned int, this results in unpredictable behavior when vq->vring.used->idx wraps around. This patch corrects this by changing last_used_idx to the correct type.

However, this is no longer true on 64-bit where the bug is exposed.

However, the check and the actual increment are separated with the GFP_KERNEL allocation, so this limit can be exceeded under a memory pressure - task may go to sleep freeing the pages and some other task will be allowed to allocate a new sock and so on and so forth. So make the increment before the check (similar thing is done in the sock_kmalloc) and go to kmalloc after this. Signed-off-by: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org> Signed-off-by: David S.
