      [PATCH] ext2: fix directory handling bug · b84ba662
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Dave Miller.  Fixes a very long-standing bug.
      
      If a process has an fd open against a now-removed directory, lookups on that
      fd will end up calling ext2_find_entry() against a zero-length directory.
      
      When this happens ext2_find_entry() will, on the first pass through the loop,
      set `kaddr' to page_address(page) - 20.  Things get confused and the "zero
      length directory entry" warning triggers.
      
      This only happens on 64-bit machines, because ext2_last_byte() is returning
      an unsigned (32-bit) value, and the arithmetic works out OK for 32-bit
      machines.
      
      So we change ext2_find_entry() to bale out immediately if the directory is
      zero-length.  All other directory-walking functions do this, but
      ext2_find_entry() forgot to, due to the search-from-the-last-place
      optimisation.

      [PATCH] ext3: error handling robustness · 5c31c779
      Andrew Morton authored
      Fix a couple of ext3 error handling routines to not assume that the
      superblock has valid journal and buffer_head pointers.  These functions are
      called during mount and unmount and that may not be true.
      
      This should fix the oops which Zwane saw when mounting a corrupt filesystem.

      [PATCH] Force cache alignment of task_structs · 39cb2588
      Andrew Morton authored
      I enabled the advanced use-after-free detector for large slab objects and the
      kernel oopsed.  This is because that debug code adds things at the head of
      the slab objects, and the kernel will die if task_structs are not
      well-aligned.
      
      The way to tell the slab allocator that it is not allowed to misalign objects
      from this slab is SLAB_MUST_HWCACHE_ALIGN.

      [PATCH] NCPFS memleak fix · 0c68742b
      Andrew Morton authored
      Patch from Petr Vandrovec <vandrove@vc.cvut.cz>
      Reported by Oleg Drokin.
      
          In NCP_IOC_SETOBJECTNAME handler, we allocated space (newname pointer),
          copy stuff from userspace to there and then assign userspace
          pointer to our internal structure, whoops!

      [PATCH] fix console ordering default · b85b717c
      Andrew Morton authored
      The conversion of the console registration to an initcall-style thing has
      broken lots of people's setups.  It is now dependent upon linkage order and
      if you have both CONFIG_VT_CONSOLE and CONFIG_SERIAL_CONSOLE, no boot
      messages come out on the screen because the kernel is selecting the serial
      console first.
      
      It can be fixed by specifying console=tty0, but nobody is doing that.
      
      We can fix it up by placing drivers/char/ in front of drivers/serial/ in
      linkage order.

      Make x86-64 boot again after the INITIAL_JIFFIES changes
      and some bug fixes. Also some work for NPTL.
      
       - Merge with i386/2.5.64-bk3
       - Fix memory leak in copy_thread
       - arch_prctl uses GDT for base if possible. Cleanup.
       - clone supports bases >32bit for SETTLS etc. %fs hardcoded now.
       - new ptrace support for 64bit TLS
       - Disable (set|get)_thread_* for 64bit processes.
       - Audit arch/x86_64 for jiffies wrap issues.
       - Fix initial jiffies problem (that caused hanging kernels)
       - FIx a few 32bit emulation bugs (sigaltstack, sigqueue)
       - Some cleanup from Pavel
       - Should compile again as UP
       - Shrink size a bit by not putting exception tables into object files.
       - Fix compilation with gcc 3.3 :- force inlining when needed
       - Work around 2.5.64-bk3 console init bug.
       - Fix some alignments in assembly code

      [PATCH] remove devfs_only() · c8eddecf
      Christoph Hellwig authored
      Rationale:  devfs_only does nothing but disabling {un,}register_blkdev
      and {un,}register_chrdev.  {un,}register_blkdev already do nothing but
      adding it's name argument to a lookup table for the __bdevname and
      /proc/device output so this use is already bogus.  The disabling of
      the character device per-major arrays can work in practice but is
      useless as any driver relying on it can't be used on non-devfs systems.

      [PATCH] revert "noirqbalance still doesn't do anything" · 5672553c
      Andrew Morton authored
      This recent patch caused Nick Piggin's 2xPIII VIA686B chipset machine into an
      interrupts-off lockup during IDE probing.
      
      We don't really know why - it might be because an interrupt is delivered to a
      secondary which doesn't expect it.
      
      I have a second patch from Zwane which solves the same problem in a different
      way, but until that's had some wider testing I suggest we just back off the
      original.

      Use a fixed per-cpu SYSENTER_MSR_ESP value by having the sysenter · e3db4852
      Linus Torvalds authored
      entry routine load the real ESP0 off that per-cpu stack. Make this
      even faster by putting the sysenter stack in the per-CPU TSS, so
      that we can use the tss->esp0 value directly (which we have to
      update on task switches anyway).
      
      CAREFUL! This needs very subtle code for debug and NMI exceptions,
      to make sure we don't run with the sysenter stack in any real kernel
      code!

      Move "used FPU status" into new non-atomic thread_info->status field. · 450b4497
      Linus Torvalds authored
      This allows us to avoid having to use atomic updates for the lazy FP
      status setting, since we don't have to worry about other CPU's racing
      on the fields.
      
      Also, fix x86 FP state after fork() by making sure the FP is unlazied
      _before_ we copy the state information. Otherwise, if a process did a
      fork() while holding the FP state lazily in the registers, the child
      would incorrectly unlazy bogus state.
