3b9b8ab65d [PATCH] Fix unserialized task->files changing
Fixed race on put_files_struct on exec with proc.  Restoring files on
current on error path may lead to proc having a pointer to already kfree-d
files_struct.

->files changing at exit.c and khtread.c are safe as exit_files() makes all
things under lock.

Found during OpenVZ stress testing.

ca9bda00b4 [PATCH] tty locking on resize
The current kernel serializes console resizes but does not serialize the
resize against the tty structure updates.  This means that while two
parallel resizes cannot mess up the console you can get incorrect results
reported.

Secondly while doing this I added vc_lock_resize() to lock and resize the
console.  This leaves all knowledge of the console_sem in the vt/console
driver and kicks it out of the tty layer, which is good

Thirdly while doing this I decided I couldn't stand "disallocate" any
longer so I switched it to "deallocate".

50462062a0 [PATCH] fs.h: ifdef security fields
[assuming BSD security levels are deleted]
The only user of i_security, f_security, s_security fields is SELinux,
however, quite a few security modules are trying to get into kernel.
So, wrap them under CONFIG_SECURITY. Adding config option for each
security field is likely an overkill.

Following Stephen Smalley's suggestion, i_security initialization is
moved to security_inode_alloc() to not clutter core code with ifdefs
and make alloc_inode() codepath tiny little bit smaller and faster.

The user of (highly greppable) struct fown_struct::security field is
still to be found. I've checked every "fown_struct" and every "f_owner"
occurence. Additionally it's removal doesn't break i386 allmodconfig
build.

struct inode, struct file, struct super_block, struct fown_struct
become smaller.

P.S. Combined with two reiserfs inode shrinking patches sent to
linux-fsdevel, I can finally suck 12 reiserfs inodes into one page.

a317202714 [PATCH] Fix reiserfs latencies caused by data=ordered
ReiserFS does periodic cleanup of old transactions in order to limit the
length of time a journal replay may take after a crash.  Sometimes, writing
metadata from an old (already committed) transaction may require committing
a newer transaction, which also requires writing all data=ordered buffers.
This can cause very long stalls on journal_begin.

This patch makes sure new transactions will not need to be committed before
trying a periodic reclaim of an old transaction.  It is low risk because if
a bad decision is made, it just means a slightly longer journal replay
after a crash.

sequences interpreted in do_con_trol function preserving backward US-ASCII

Malformed utf-8 sequences are represented as sequences of replacement

unicode-xterm, gnome-terminal, kconsole and other terminal emulators in
utf-8 mode respect acsc, enacs, rmacs sequences.  Also I found that some
important system programs (from Debian distro) uses acsc in utf-8 mode -
dselect, aptitude, w3m for example.

aa83aa40ed [PATCH] single bit flip detector
In cases where we detect a single bit has been flipped, we spew the usual
slab corruption message, which users instantly think is a kernel bug.  In a
lot of cases, single bit errors are down to bad memory, or other hardware
failure.

This patch adds an extra line to the slab debug messages in those cases, in
the hope that users will try memtest before they report a bug.

000: 6b 6b 6b 6b 6a 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b 6b

db630637b2 [PATCH] clean up and remove some extra spinlocks from rtmutex
Oleg brought up some interesting points about grabbing the pi_lock for some
protections.  In this discussion, I realized that there are some places
that the pi_lock is being grabbed when it really wasn't necessary.  Also
this patch does a little bit of clean up.

This patch basically does three things:

1) renames the "boost" variable to "chain_walk".  Since it is used in
   the debugging case when it isn't going to be boosted.  It better
   describes what the test is going to do if it succeeds.

2) moves get_task_struct to just before the unlocking of the wait_lock.
   This removes duplicate code, and makes it a little easier to read.  The
   owner wont go away while either the pi_lock or the wait_lock are held.

3) removes the pi_locking and owner blocked checking completely from the
   debugging case.  This is because the grabbing the lock and doing the
   check, then releasing the lock is just so full of races.  It's just as
   good to go ahead and call the pi_chain_walk function, since after
   releasing the lock the owner can then block anyway, and we would have
   missed that.  For the debug case, we really do want to do the chain walk
   to test for deadlocks anyway.

c24c95a085 [PATCH] fix Intel RNG detection
Previously, since determination whether there was an Intel random number
generator was based on a single bit, on systems with a matching bridge
device but without a firmware hub, there was a 50% chance that the code
would incorrectly decide that the system had an RNG.  This patch adds
detection of the firmware hub to better qualify the existence of an RNG.

There is one issue with the patch: I was unable to determine the LPC
equivalent for the PCI bridge 8086:2430 (since the old code didn't care
about which of the many devices provided by the ICH/ESB it was chose to use
the PCI bridge device, but the FWH settings live in the LPC device, so the
device list needed to be changed).

39b3f6d6e9 [PATCH] mount udf UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY partitions with MS_RDONLY
There's a bug where a UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY udf partition gets mounted
read-write, then subsequent problems happen; files seem to be able to be
removed, but file creation results in EIO or worse, oops.

EIO is coming from udf_new_block(), which returns EIO if the right flags
aren't set; only UDF_PART_FLAG_READ_ONLY is set in this case.  We probably
s hould not have gotten this far...

Attached patch seems to fix it - and includes a printk to alert the user
that their "rw" mount request has been converted to "ro."

e1dfa92dca [PATCH] ignore partition table on disks with AIX label
The on-disk data structures from AIX are not known, also the filesystem
layout is not known.  There is a msdos partition signature at the end of
the first block, and the kernel recognizes 3 small (and overlapping)
partitions.  But they are not usable.  Maybe the firmware uses it to find
the bootloader for AIX, but AIX boots also if the first block is cleared.

This is the content of the partition table:
 # dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) | xxd
0000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000  ................
0000010: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000  ....A.......8...
0000020: 00ff ffff 41ff ffff 0211 0000 1900 0000  ....A...........
0000030: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000  ....A.......8...

Handle the whole disk as empty disk.

This fixes also YaST which compares the output from parted (and formerly
fdisk) with /proc/partitions.  fdisk recognizes the AIX label since a long
time, SuSE has a patch for parted to handle the disk label as unknown.

dmesg will look like this:
 sda: [AIX]  unknown partition table

Tested on an IBM B50 with AIX V4.3.3.

650a898342 [PATCH] vfs: define new lookup flag for chdir
In the "operation does permission checking" model used by fuse, chdir
permission is not checked, since there's no chdir method.

For this case set a lookup flag, which will be passed to ->permission(), so
fuse can distinguish it from permission checks for other operations.

5b35e8e58a [PATCH] fuse: use dentry in statfs
Some filesystems may want to report different values depending on the path
within the filesystem, i.e.  one mount is actually several filesystems.  This
can be the case for a network filesystem exported by an unprivileged server
(e.g.  sshfs).

This is now possible, thanks to David Howells "VFS: Permit filesystem to
perform statfs with a known root dentry" patch.

This change is backward compatible, so no need to change interface version.

d10be6d1bd [PATCH] module_subsys: initialize earlier
Initialize module_subsys earlier (or at least earlier than devices) since
it could be used very early in the boot process if kmod loads a module
before the device initcalls.  Otherwise, kmod will crash in
kernel/module.c:mod_sysfs_setup() since the kset in module_subsys is not
initialized yet.

I only noticed this problem because occasionally, kmod loads the modules
for my SCSI and Ethernet adapters very early, during the boot process
itself.  I don't quite understand why it loads them sometimes and doesn't
load them other times.  Or who is telling kmod to do so.  Can someone
explain?

8454aeef6f [PATCH] Require mmap handler for a.out executables
Files supported by fs/proc/base.c, i.e.  /proc/<pid>/*, are not capable of
meeting the validity checks in ELF load_elf_*() handling because they have
no mmap handler which is required by ELF.  In order to stop a.out
executables being used as part of an exploit attack against /proc-related
vulnerabilities, we make a.out executables depend on ->mmap() existing.
