I found that all of 2.4 and 2.6 have been letting mprotect give write
permission to a readonly attachment of shared memory, whether or not IPC
would give the caller that permission.
SUS says "The behaviour of this function [mprotect] is unspecified if the
mapping was not established by a call to mmap", but I don't think we can
interpret that as allowing it to subvert IPC permissions.
I haven't tried 2.2, but the 2.2.26 source looks like it gets it right; and
the patch below reproduces that behaviour - mprotect cannot be used to add
write permission to a shared memory segment attached readonly.
This patch is simple, and I'm sure it's what we should have done in 2.4.0:
if you want to go on to switch write permission on and off with mprotect,
just don't attach the segment readonly in the first place.
However, we could have accumulated apps which attach readonly (even though
they would be permitted to attach read/write), and which subsequently use
mprotect to switch write permission on and off: it's not unreasonable.
I was going to add a second ipcperms check in do_shmat, to check for
writable when readonly, and if not writable find_vma and clear VM_MAYWRITE.
But security_ipc_permission might do auditing, and it seems wrong to
report an attempt for write permission when there has been none. Or we
could flag the vma as SHM, note the shmid or shp in vm_private_data, and
then get mprotect to check.
But the patch below is a lot simpler: I'd rather stick with it, if we can
convince ourselves somehow that it'll be safe.

[PATCH] i2c-parport: Make type parameter mandatory
This patch forces the user to specify what type of adapter is present when

init simply fails - instead of assuming adapter type 0.
This alleviates the sometimes lengthy boot time delays which can be caused
by accidentally building one of these into a kernel along with several i2c
slave drivers that have lengthy probe routines (e.g. hwmon drivers).

This updates the DMA API documentation to address a few issues:
- The dma_map_sg() call results are used like pci_map_sg() results:
using sg_dma_address() and sg_dma_len(). That's not wholly obvious
to folk reading _only_ the "new" DMA-API.txt writeup.
- Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
that may need to be flushed.
- Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
(especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.
I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

I use 2.6.15.6 Linux kernel and found some problems. I have about 100
Linux boxes (all with the same (binary the same) kernel). Last time I have
upgraded all those boxes from 2.4.32 to 2.6.15.6 (first 2.6.15.1, next .2,
.4 and .6) and I have found some problems on VIA based PC's. Probably the
reason of this is that some VIA chipsets are unrecognized by IRQ router.
In line 586 there is: /* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */
There were only a few of chipsets ID's there, some of my VIA chipsets were
not present and kernel used default IRQ router.
I have added three entries, so that the code looks like:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C596:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8231:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233A:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8235:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237_SATA:
/* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */
r->name = "VIA";
r->get = pirq_via_get;
r->set = pirq_via_set;
return 1;
}
The kernel goes fine but I haven't testes it for weeks, I'm just a moment
after reboot :)
One thing is different (better?):
Using previus kernel I had:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 0
now I have:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 11
Maybe it is good idea to add there some more VIA chipsets?
The ones I have added seem to be OK.

The init function for the RPA PCI Hotplug driver returns -ENODEV in the

bad, since hot-capable slots can be added after boot to a purely virtual
POWER partition. This is also bad because DLPAR I/O operations depend
on the rpaphp module.

The manual driver <-> device binding attribute in sysfs doesn't return
the correct value on failure or success of driver_probe_device.
driver_probe_device returns 1 on success (the driver accepted the
device) or 0 on probe failure (when the driver didn't accept the
device but no real error occured). However, the attribute can't just
return 0 or 1, it must return the number of bytes consumed from buf
or an error value. Returning 0 indicates to userspace that nothing
was written (even though the kernel has tried to do the bind/probe and
failed). Returning 1 indicates that only one character was accepted in
which case userspace will re-try the write with a partial string.
A more correct version of driver_bind would return count (to indicate
the entire string was consumed) when driver_probe_device returns 1
and -ENODEV when driver_probe_device returns 0. This patch makes that
change.

[BLOCK] delay all uevents until partition table is scanned
Here we delay the annoucement of all block device events until the
disk's partition table is scanned and all partition devices are already
created and sysfs is populated.
We have a bunch of old bugs for removable storage handling where we
probe successfully for a filesystem on the raw disk, but at the
same time the kernel recognizes a partition table and creates partition
devices.
Currently there is no sane way to tell if partitions will show up or not
at the time the disk device is announced to userspace. With the delayed
events we can simply skip any probe for a filesystem on the raw disk when
we find already present partitions.
