KAI.HSU ccc1825306 [PATCH] alim15x3: ULI M-1573 south Bridge support
>From http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6358

The alim15x3.c havn't been update for 3 years.  Recently when we use this
"ULI M1573" south bridge chip found that can't mount CDROM(VCD) smoothly,
must waiting for a long time.  After I check the "ULI M1573" south bridge
datasheet, I found the reason.  The reason is the "ULI M1573" version in
the Linux is "0xC7" not "0xC4" anymore So I was modified the source than it
was successed.

Dipankar Sarma 95fb678bf9 [PATCH] Fix file lookup without ref
There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and
access the file structure without holding refereces to the file.  So, we
need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd
table and tearing down of the file in another CPU.  Otherwise, one might
see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file.  This patch
fixes those special places where such a race may happen.

Heikki Orsila 3696ee36c9 [PATCH] Open IPMI BT overflow
I was looking into random driver code and found a suspicious looking
memcpy() in drivers/char/ipmi/ipmi_bt_sm.c on 2.6.17-rc1:

		return -1;
	...
	memcpy(bt->write_data + 3, data + 1, size - 1);

where sizeof bt->write_data is IPMI_MAX_MSG_LENGTH.  It looks like the

Linus Torvalds 248c64d252 [PATCH] x86: don't allow tail-calls in sys_ftruncate[64]()
x86: don't allow tail-calls in sys_ftruncate[64]()

Gcc thinks it owns the incoming argument stack, but that's not true for
"asmlinkage" functions, and it corrupts the caller-set-up argument stack
when it pushes the third argument onto the stack.  Which can result in
%ebx getting corrupted in user space.

Now, normally nobody sane would ever notice, since libc will save and
restore %ebx anyway over the system call, but it's still wrong.

I'd much rather have "asmlinkage" tell gcc directly that it doesn't own
the stack, but no such attribute exists, so we're stuck with our hacky
manual "prevent_tail_call()" macro once more (we've had the same issue
before with sys_waitpid() and sys_wait4()).

I have a more complete fix for 2.6.17 but the simple approach of

Herbert Xu 5d0b6f2bda [PATCH] Fix truesize underflow
[TCP]: Fix truesize underflow

There is a problem with the TSO packet trimming code.  The cause of
this lies in the tcp_fragment() function.

When we allocate a fragment for a completely non-linear packet the
truesize is calculated for a payload length of zero.  This means that
truesize could in fact be less than the real payload length.

When that happens the TSO packet trimming can cause truesize to become
negative.  This in turn can cause sk_forward_alloc to be -n * PAGE_SIZE
which would trigger the warning.

I've copied the code DaveM used in tso_fragment which should work here.

Andi Kleen 7466f9e72d [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes (CVE-2006-1056)
AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending.  This means the value leak through context
switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction state of
other processes.

This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as being
different from Intel before.

The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally calling
FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip it when not
needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to clear FOP/FIP/FDP.

This means other processes always will only see a constant value defined
by the kernel in their FP state.

I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already in L1
during context switch to make the overhead of this low.

Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs who don't
need it.

Patch for both i386/x86-64.

The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard Brunner
provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution from Jan.

This is CVE-2006-1056

Hugh Dickins 512dba41ba [PATCH] shmat: stop mprotect from giving write permission to a readonly attachment (CVE-2006-1524)
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.

Steve French dea8e11ab7 [PATCH] Incorrect signature sent on SMB Read
Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147

For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the
wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request.  The new cifs routine
to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike
the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use
SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older
cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled  cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures.

This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers
of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures.

Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in
the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change
to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled
will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory).
Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not
required at the moment but after more testing we will enable
that as well).

Thanks to James Slepicka and Sam Flory for initial investigation.

Andrew Morton 284a7c99c0 [PATCH] RLIMIT_CPU: fix handling of a zero limit
At present the kernel doesn't honour an attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU to zero
seconds.  But the spec says it should, and that's what 2.4.x does.

Fixing this for real would involve some complexity (such as adding a new
it-has-been-set flag to the task_struct, and testing that everwhere, instead
of overloading the value of it_prof_expires).

Given that a 2.4 kernel won't actually send the signal until one second has
expired anyway, let's just handle this case by treating the caller's
zero-seconds as one second.

Brian Uhrain says 3e1792fa40 [PATCH] alpha: SMP boot fixes
I've encountered two problems with 2.6.16 and newer kernels on my API CS20
(dual 833MHz Alpha 21264b processors).  The first is the kernel OOPSing
because of a NULL pointer dereference while trying to populate SysFS with the
CPU information.  The other is that only one processor was being brought up.
I've included a small Alpha-specific patch that fixes both problems.

The first problem was caused by the CPUs never being properly registered using
register_cpu(), the way it's done on other architectures.

The second problem has to do with the removal of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask in
arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c.  In setup_smp() in the 2.6.15 kernel sources,
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask has a bit set for each processor that is probed, and
afterwards cpu_present_mask is set to the cpumask for the boot CPU.  In the
same function of the same file in the 2.6.16 sources, instead of
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask being set, cpu_possible_map is updated for each probed
CPU.  cpu_present_mask is still set to the cpumask of the boot CPU afterwards.
 The problem lies in include/asm-alpha/smp.h, where cpu_possible_map is
#define'd to be cpu_present_mask.

Cleanups from: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>

 - cpu_present_mask and cpu_possible_map are essentially the same thing
   on alpha, as it doesn't support CPU hotplug;
 - allocate "struct cpu" only for present CPUs, like sparc64 does.
   Static array of "struct cpu" is just a waste of memory.

Nick Piggin 2b53303840 [PATCH] Fix buddy list race that could lead to page lru list corruptions
Rohit found an obscure bug causing buddy list corruption.

page_is_buddy is using a non-atomic test (PagePrivate && page_count == 0)
to determine whether or not a free page's buddy is itself free and in the
buddy lists.

Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated
conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to
be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was
not on the buddy lists).

Miklos Szeredi add92b7ade [PATCH] fuse: fix oops in fuse_send_readpages()
During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the
kernel.  The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which
have already been inserted into the cache by another task.
Occasionally this may result in zero pages actually being sent, while
fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one page being in the
request.

So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying
to send it.

Reported and tested by Konstantin Isakov.
