if CONFIG_DEBUG_BUGVERBOSE is set then the user most definitely wanted to see as much information about kernel crashes as possible - so give them at least a stack dump. this is particularly useful for stackprotector related panics, where the stacktrace can give us the exact location of the (attempted) attack.

pointed out by pageexec@freemail.hu: we just simply panic() when there's a stackprotector attack - giving the attacked person no information about what kernel code the attack went against. print out the attacked function.

the boot CPU's idle task has a zero stackprotector canary value. this is a special task that is never forked, so the fork code does not randomize its canary. Do it when we hit cpu_idle(). Academic sidenote: this means that the early init code runs with a zero canary and hence the canary becomes predictable for this short, boot-only amount of time. Although attack vectors against early init code are very rare, it might make sense to move this initialization to an earlier point. (to one of the early init functions that never return - such as start_kernel()) Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu> Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner <tglx@linutronix.de>

The idle threads for non-boot CPUs are a bit special in how they are created; the result is that these don't have the stack canary set up properly in their PDA. Easiest fix is to just always set the PDA up correctly when entering the idle thread; this is a NOP for the boot cpu.

fix a bug noticed and fixed by pageexec@freemail.hu. if built with -fstack-protector-all then we'll have canary checks built into the __switch_to() function. That does not work well with the canary-switching code there: while we already use the %rsp of the new task, we still call __switch_to() whith the previous task's canary value in the PDA, hence the __switch_to() ssp prologue instructions will store the previous canary. Then we update the PDA and upon return from __switch_to() the canary check triggers and we panic. so update the canary after we have called __switch_to(), where we are at the same stackframe level as the last stackframe of the next (and now freshly current) task. Note: this means that we call __switch_to() [and its sub-functions] still with the old canary, but that is not a problem, both the previous and the next task has a high-quality canary. The only (mostly academic) disadvantage is that the canary of one task may leak onto the stack of another task, increasing the risk of information leaks, were an attacker able to read the stack of specific tasks (but not that of others). To solve this we'll have to reorganize the way we switch tasks, and move the PDA setting into the switch_to() assembly code. That will happen in another patch.

on paravirt enabled 64-bit kernels the paravirt ops do function calls themselves - which is bad with the stackprotector - for example pda_init() loads 0 into %gs and then does MSR_GS_BASE write (which modifies gs.base) - but that MSR write is a function call on paravirt, which with stackprotector tries to read the stack canary from the PDA ... crashing the bootup. the solution was suggested by Arjan van de Ven: to exclude paravirt.c from stackprotector, too many lowlevel functionality is in it. It's not like we'll have paravirt functions with character arrays on their stack anyway...

These magic greps and hacks in ver_linux to get the gcc version always break after some gcc releases. Since now gcc >4.3 allows compiling with '--with-pkgversion' ( which can be everything 'My Cool Gcc' or something ) ver_linux will report random junk for these. Simply use 'gcc -dumpversion' to get the gcc version which should always work.

On Book-E SMP systems each core has its own private watchdog. If only one watchdog is enabled, when the core that doesn't enable the watchdog is hung, system can't reset because no watchdog is running on it. That's bad. It means we must enable watchdogs on both cores. We can use smp_call_function() to send appropriate messages to all the other cores to enable and update the watchdog.

Somehow the spidev code forgot to include a critical mechanism: when the underlying device is removed (e.g. spi_master rmmod), open file descriptors must be prevented from issuing new I/O requests to that device. On penalty of the oopsing reported by Sebastian Siewior <bigeasy@tglx.de> ... This is a partial fix, adding handshaking between the lower level (SPI messaging) and the file operations using the spi_dev. (It also fixes an issue where reads and writes didn't return the number of bytes sent or received.) There's still a refcounting issue to be addressed (separately).

This is a slight change in the namespace cgroup subsystem api. The change is that previously when cgroup_clone() was called (currently only from the unshare path in ns_proxy cgroup, you'd get a new group named "node_$pid" whereas now you'll get a group named after just your pid.) The only users who would notice it are those who are using the ns_proxy cgroup subsystem to auto-create cgroups when namespaces are unshared - something of an experimental feature, which I think really needs more complete container/namespace support in order to be useful. I suspect the only users are Cedric and Serge, or maybe a few others on containers@lists.linux-foundation.org. And in fact it would only be noticed by the users who make the assumption about how the name is generated, rather than getting it from the /proc/<pid>/cgroups file for the process in question. Whether the change is actually needed or not I'm fairly agnostic on, but I guess it is more elegant to just use the pid as the new group name rather than adding a fairly arbitrary "node_" prefix on the front.
