Fix insecure default behaviour reported by Tigran Aivazian: if an ext2 or ext3 or ext4 filesystem is tuned to mount with "acl", but mounted by a kernel built without ACL support, then umask was ignored when creating inodes - though root or user has umask 022, touch creates files as 0666, and mkdir creates directories as 0777. This appears to have worked right until 2.6.11, when a fix to the default mode on symlinks (always 0777) assumed VFS applies umask: which it does, unless the mount is marked for ACLs; but ext[234] set MS_POSIXACL in s_flags according to s_mount_opt set according to def_mount_opts. We could revert to the 2.6.10 ext[234]_init_acl (adding an S_ISLNK test); but other filesystems only set MS_POSIXACL when ACLs are configured. We could fix this at another level; but it seems most robust to avoid setting the s_mount_opt flag in the first place (at the expense of more ifdefs). Likewise don't set the XATTR_USER flag when built without XATTR support. Signed-off-by:

fix-rmmod-read-write-races-in-proc-entries.patch doesn't want dynamically allocated ->proc_fops, because it will set it to NULL at module unload time. Regardless of module status, switch to statically allocated ->proc_fops which leads to simpler code without wrappers. AFAICS, also fix the following bug: "sn_force_interrupt" proc entry set ->write for itself, but was created with 0444 permissions. Change to 0644. Signed-off-by:

Minor number 0 (under the raw major) is reserved for the rawctl device file, which is used to query, set, and unset raw device bindings. However, the ioctl interface does not protect the user from specifying a raw device with minor number 0: $ sudo ./raw /dev/raw/raw0 /dev/VolGroup00/swap /dev/raw/raw0: bound to major 253, minor 2 $ ls -l /dev/rawctl ls: /dev/rawctl: No such file or directory $ ls -l /dev/raw/raw0 crw------- 1 root root 162, 0 Jan 12 10:51 /dev/raw/raw0 $ sudo ./raw -qa Cannot open master raw device '/dev/rawctl' (No such file or directory) As you can see, this prevents any further raw operations from succeeding. The fix (from Steve Fernandez) is quite simple--do not allow the allocation of minor number 0. Signed-off-by:

gcc emits this warning: kernel/auditfilter.c: In function 'audit_filter_user': kernel/auditfilter.c:1611: warning: 'state' is used uninitialized in this function I tend to agree with gcc - there are a couple of plausible exit paths from audit_filter_user_rules() where it does not set 'state', keeping the variable uninitialized. For example if a filter rule has an AUDIT_POSSIBLE action. Initialize to 'wont audit'. Fix whitespace damage too. Signed-off-by:

In the rare case where we have skipped orphan inode processing due to a readonly block device, and the block device subsequently changes back to read-write, disallow a remount,rw transition of the filesystem when we have an unprocessed orphan inodes as this would corrupt the list. Ideally we should process the orphan inode list during the remount, but that's trickier, and this plugs the hole for now. Signed-off-by:

This is an "RTC framework" driver for the "CMOS" RTCs which are standard on PCs and some other platforms. That's MC146818 compatible silicon. Advantages of this vs. drivers/char/rtc.c (use one _or_ the other, only one will be able to claim the RTC irq) include: - This leverages both the new RTC framework and the driver model; both PNPACPI and platform device modes are supported. (A separate patch creates a platform device on PCs where PNPACPI isn't configured.) - It supports common extensions like longer alarms. (A separate patch exports that information from ACPI through platform_data.) - Likewise, system wakeup events use "real driver model support", with policy control via sysfs "wakeup" attributes and and using normal rtc ioctls to manage wakeup. (Patch in the works. The ACPI hooks are known; /proc/acpi/alarm can vanish. Making it work with EFI will be a minor challenge to someone with e.g. a MiniMac.) It's not yet been tested on non-x86 systems, without ACPI, or with HPET. And the RTC framework will surely have teething pains on "mainstream" PC-based systems (though must embedded Linux systems use it heavily), not limited to sorting out the "/dev/rtc0" issue (udev easily tweaked). Also, the ALSA rtctimer code doesn't use the new RTC API. Otherwise, this should be a no-known-regressions replacement for the old drivers/char/rtc.c driver, and should help the non-embedded distros (and the new timekeeping code) start to switch to the framework. Note also that any systems using "rtc-m48t86" are candidates to switch over to this more functional driver; the platform data is different, and the way bytes are read is different, but otherwise those chips should be compatible.

I noticed that almost all architectures implemented exactly the same sys32_sysinfo... except parisc, where a bug was to be found in handling of the uptime. So let's remove a whole whack of code for fun and profit. Cribbed compat_sys_sysinfo from x86_64's implementation, since I figured it would be the best tested. This patch incorporates Arnd's suggestion of not using set_fs/get_fs, but instead extracting out the common code from sys_sysinfo.

Mostly so people can see the work in progress. This enhances the encode function which isn't currently used in the base tree but is when using some of the testing tty patches. This resolves a problem with some hardware where applications got confusing information from the tty ioctls. Correct but confusing. In some situations asking for, say, 9600 baud actually gets you 9595 baud or similar near-miss values. With the old code this meant that a request for B9600 got a return of BOTHER, 9595 which programs interpreted as a failure. The new code now works on the following basis - If you ask for specific rate via BOTHER, you get a precise return - If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and the result is close you get a Bfoo return - If you ask for a standard Bfoo rate and get something way off you get a BOTHER/rate return This seems to fix up the cases I've found where this broke compatibility.

The patch to identify AIX disks and ignore them has caused at least one machine to fail to find the root partition on 2.6.19. The patch is: http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/7/31/117 The problem is some disk formatters do not blow away the first 4 bytes of the disk. If the disk we are installing to used to have AIX on it, then the first 4 bytes will still have IBMA in EBCDIC. The install in question was debian etch. Im not sure what the best fix is, perhaps the AIX detection code could check more than the first 4 bytes. The whole partition info for primary partitions is in this block: dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) All other data do not matter, beside the 0x55aa marker at the end of the first block.

Fix some RCU problem pointed out by Paul McKenney of IBM. These are: The wholesale move of the command receivers list into a new list was not safe because the list will point to the new tail during a traversal, so the traversal will never end on a reader if this happens during a read. Memory barriers were needed to handle proper ordering of the setting of the IPMI interface as valid. Readers might not see proper ordering of data otherwise. In ipmi_smi_watcher_register(), the use of the _rcu suffix on the list is unnecessary. This require the list_splice_init_rcu() patch previously posted. Signed-off-by:

This patch is in support of the IPMI driver. I have tested this with the IPMI driver changes coming in the next patch. Add a list_splice_init_rcu() function to splice an RCU-protected list into another list. This takes the sync function as an argument, so one would do something like: INIT_LIST_HEAD(&list); list_splice_init_rcu(&source, &dest, synchronize_rcu); The idea being to keep the RCU API proliferation down to a dull roar.

The 32bit and 64bit PARISC Linux kernels suffers from the problem, that the gettimeofday() call sometimes returns non-monotonic times. The easiest way to fix this, is to drop the PARISC-specific implementation and switch over to the generic TIME_INTERPOLATION framework. But in order to make it even compile on 32bit PARISC, the patch below which touches the generic Linux code, is mandatory. More information and the full patch with the parisc-specific changes is included in this thread: http://lists.parisc-linux.org/pipermail/parisc-linux/2006-December/031003.html As far as I could see, this patch does not change anything for the existing architectures which use this framework (IA64 and SPARC64), since "cycles_t" is defined there as unsigned 64bit-integer anyway (which then makes this patch a no-change for them).
