[PATCH] Module per-cpu alignment cannot always be met
Fwd from Daniel Drake <dsd@gentoo.org>.
The module code assumes noone will ever ask for a per-cpu area more than
SMP_CACHE_BYTES aligned. However, as these cases show, gcc asks sometimes
asks for 32-byte alignment for the per-cpu section on a module, and if
CONFIG_X86_L1_CACHE_SHIFT is 4, we hit that BUG_ON(). This is obviously an
unusual combination, as there have been few reports, but better to warn

[PATCH] CAN-2005-2099 Destruction of failed keyring oopses
The attached patch makes sure that a keyring that failed to instantiate
properly is destroyed without oopsing [CAN-2005-2099].
The problem occurs in three stages:
(1) The key allocator initialises the type-specific data to all zeroes. In
the case of a keyring, this will become a link in the keyring name list
when the keyring is instantiated.
(2) If a user (any user) attempts to add a keyring with anything other than
an empty payload, the keyring instantiation function will fail with an
error and won't add the keyring to the name list.
(3) The keyring's destructor then sees that the keyring has a description
(name) and tries to remove the keyring from the name list, which oopses
because the link pointers are both zero.
This bug permits any user to take down a box trivially.

The attached patch prevents an error during the key session joining operation

The problem is that the error handling path for the KEYCTL_JOIN_SESSION_KEYRING

the D state.
This can happen in four situations, all involving an attempt to allocate a new

(2) The users key quota being reached.
(3) A keyring name that is an empty string.
(4) A keyring name that is too long.

[PATCH] x86_64: Fixing smpboot timing problem
This patch fixes the SMP boot timing problem that hit various people and was
introduced in 2.6.12. Please apply to stable.
>From Eric Biederman
sync_tsc was using smp_call_function to ask the boot processor
to report it's tsc value. smp_call_function performs an IPI_send_allbutself
which is a broadcast ipi. There is a window during processor startup during
which the target cpu has started and before it has initialized it's interrupt
vectors so it can properly process an interrupt. Receveing an interrupt
during that window will triple fault the cpu and do other nasty things.
Why cli does not protect us from that is beyond me.
The simple fix is to match ia64 and provide a smp_call_function_single.
Which avoids the broadcast and is more efficient.
This certainly fixes the problem of getting stuck on boot which was
very easy to trigger on my SMP Hyperthreaded Xeon, and I think
it fixes it for the right reasons.

2) netlink_autobind() needs to propagate the error return from
netlink_insert(). Otherwise, callers will not see the error
as they should and thus try to operate on a socket with a zero pid,
which is very bad.
However, it should not propagate -EBUSY. If two threads race
to autobind the socket, that is fine. This is consistent with the
autobind behavior in other protocols.
So bug #1 above, combined with this one, resulted in hangs
on netlink_sendmsg() calls to the rtnetlink socket. We'd try
to do the user sendmsg() with the socket's pid set to zero,
later we do a socket lookup using that pid (via the value we
stashed away in NETLINK_CB(skb).pid), but that won't give us the
user socket, it will give us the rtnetlink socket. So when we
try to wake up the receive queue, we dive back into rtnetlink_rcv()
which tries to recursively take the rtnetlink semaphore.

passed to pci_size() are 64-bit (for example ~0x0fUL). However, pci_size
does comparisons between the u32 arguments and the mask, which will fail
even though any result from pci_size is still just 32-bit.
Changing the mask argument to u32 seems the obvious thing to do, since all
arithmetic in the function is 32-bit and having a larger mask makes no
sense.
This triggered on a PPC64 system here where an adapter (VGA, as it
happened) had a memory region base of 0xfe000000 and a sz of the same,
matching the if (max == maxbase ...) test at the bottom of pci_size but
failing the mask comparison. Quite a corner case which I guess explains
why we haven't seen it until now.

[PATCH] uml: use fork instead of clone
Convert the boot-time host ptrace testing from clone to fork. They were
essentially doing fork anyway. This cleans up the code a bit, and makes
valgrind a bit happier about grinding it.

Update DCO ("signoff") rules to 1.1
This adds a clause that notes explicitly that the person doing the
sign-off knows that the project (and his sign-off) is public and will
possibly get archived and re-distributed.
This patch alows you to change the source address of icmp error
messages. It applies cleanly to 2.6.11.11 and retains the default
behaviour.
In the old (default) behaviour icmp error messages are sent with the ip
of the exiting interface.
The new behaviour (when the sysctl variable is toggled on), it will send
the message with the ip of the interface that received the packet that
caused the icmp error. This is the behaviour network administrators will
expect from a router. It makes debugging complicated network layouts
much easier. Also, all 'vendor routers' I know of have the later
behaviour.

Userland layer-2 tunneling devices allocated through the TUNTAP driver
(drivers/net/tun.c) have a type of ARPHRD_NONE, and have no link-layer
address. The kernel complains at regular interval when IPv6 Privacy
extension are enabled because it can't find an hardware address :
Dec 29 11:02:04 auguste kernel: __ipv6_regen_rndid(idev=cb3e0c00):
cannot get EUI64 identifier; use random bytes.
IPv6 Privacy extensions should probably be disabled on that sort of
device. They won't work anyway. If userland wants a more usual
Ethernet-ish interface with usual IPv6 autoconfiguration, it will use a
TAP device with an emulated link-layer and a random hardware address
rather than a TUN device.
As far as I could fine, TUN virtual device from TUNTAP is the very only
sort of device using ARPHRD_NONE as kernel device type.

[PATCH] spin longer for ehci port reset completion
This makes the EHCI driver spin a bit longer before concluding that the
port reset failed. "Obviously safe."
It allows some devices to enumerate that previously didn't. We've seen
a bunch of these problem reports recently, this will make some go away.
As reported by Michael Zapf <Michael.Zapf@uni-kassel.de>, some EHCI
controllers seem to take forever to finish port resets and produce
"port N reset error -110" type errors. Spinning a bit longer helps.

[PATCH] pwc bug fix
The pwc chainsaw session left some setups not working. There is a
sanity check on compression buffers that simply isn't right any more as
we never allocate one.
This doesn't address the email and other changes. I'll do those
tomorrow if I get time, but it is the minimal fix for the code and basic
feature set.

[PATCH] radeonfb: don't blow up VGA console on load
The current radeonfb memset's the framebuffer to 0 when loaded. This
removes occasional artifacts but has the nasty side effect that if you
load radeonfb without framebuffer console, you destroy the VGA text
buffer, font, etc... radeon must not touch the framebuffer content when
it doesn't "own" it.
