The problem is: even if vfat_striptail_len() counts len of name without
trailing dots and sets len to the correct value, utf8_mbstowcs() doesn't
care about len and takes whole name.  So dirs and files with dots can be
created on vfat fs.

From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com>

This patch makes /proc/PID/maps report the range from FIXADDR_USER_START to
FIXADDR_USER_END as a final pseudo-vma.  This is consistent with the notion
that reading /proc/PID/maps tells you about every page containing data that
the process can in fact access, and with things such as ptrace allowing
access to this memory.  Without this, userland tools that want to look at all
of a process's accessible pages need special-case knowledge about things such
as the vsyscall DSO page.  With this change, existing code that iterates over
the /proc/PID/maps lines will cover those pages like any other.  For example,
this lets gdb's "gcore" command synthesize a core file from a live process
that contains the vsyscall DSO page as a real core dump would, using its
existing generic iterator code and no new special cases.

The code to parse the EBDA (Extended BIOS Data Area) for Summit boxen is
broken because it does not handle Lookout boxen (external boxes full of
additional PCI slots).  This patch cleans up some ugliness in
arch/i386/kernel/summit.c as well as fixing the code to handle Lookout boxen
and various other configurations of PCI buses.  Without this, Summit PCI bus
to node mappings are totally hosed with Lookout boxen attatched.  This patch
depends upon the GENERICARCH fix.

This patch against 2.6.0 adds a control to the SELinux module over the
inheritance of signal-related state upon security context transitions in
order to protect the new security context.  If the permission is not
granted by the policy for a given pair of contexts, then transitions
between them will clear itimers, flush all pending signals, forcibly
flush signal handlers, and unblock all signals.  Roland McGrath provided
input and feedback on the patch. 
Please apply, or let James Morris and me know if you'd like this to be
resubmitted later.  Thanks.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>

This patch removes the use of nameidata by selinux_inode_permission, as this
appears to be unsafe in certain cases (e.g.  path_walk call from
rpc_lookup_parent), leading to an Oops if d_path is subsequently called by
avc_audit on the (mnt,dentry) pair to generate a pathname for an audit
message.

The change does not affect the ability of SELinux to perform its permission
check (which only requires the inode), only the set of information that is
available for audit messages.  We'll investigate better approaches for the
SELinux audit generation in the future.

From: Stephen Smalley <sds@epoch.ncsc.mil>

This patch reduces the full capability check in the SELinux module for the
KDSKBENT/SENT ioctls to only check the corresponding SELinux permission,
avoiding a change to the Linux permissions model for these operations.

This patch fixes the SELinux build for "make O=..." by removing the use of

Bunk.

The dvb-ttpci/av7110 driver needs the firmware_class stuff to work now.

IMHO the appropriate fix is to let the driver automatically select the
firmware loader via Kconfig's SELECT facility.

The dvb-ttusb-dec driver should behave like this, too.  (It currently
depends on the FW_LOADER, which is not "the right thing" (tm))

The "make rpm" rule in top Makefile isn't aware of the enviorment ARCH.  For

"make rpm ARCH=ia64", it will fail.  Because current rpm rule in Makefile and
mkspec are not aware of ARCH.
