      Fix for buffer overflow in ldm_frag_add not sufficient · cae13fe4
      Timo Warns authored
      As Ben Hutchings discovered [1], the patch for CVE-2011-1017 (buffer
      overflow in ldm_frag_add) is not sufficient.  The original patch in
      commit c340b1d6 ("fs/partitions/ldm.c: fix oops caused by corrupted
      partition table") does not consider that, for subsequent fragments,
      previously allocated memory is used.

      tmpfs: fix highmem swapoff crash regression · e6c9366b

      forgot the new rules for strict atomic kmap nesting, causing

      powerpc: Fix 32-bit SMP build · 6de06f31
      Josh Boyer authored
      Commit 69e3cea8 ("powerpc/smp: Make start_secondary_resume
      available to all CPU variants") introduced start_secondary_resume to
      misc_32.S, however it uses a 64-bit instruction which is not valid on
      32-bit platforms.  Use 'stw' instead.

      ipc: Add missing sys_ni entries for ipc/compat.c functions · be84bfcc
      Kevin Cernekee authored
      When building with:
      
        CONFIG_64BIT=y
        CONFIG_MIPS32_COMPAT=y
        CONFIG_COMPAT=y
        CONFIG_MIPS32_O32=y
        CONFIG_MIPS32_N32=y
        CONFIG_SYSVIPC is not set
        (and implicitly: CONFIG_SYSVIPC_COMPAT is not set)
      
      the final link fails with unresolved symbols for:
      
        compat_sys_semctl, compat_sys_msgsnd, compat_sys_msgrcv,
        compat_sys_shmctl, compat_sys_msgctl, compat_sys_semtimedop
      
      The fix is to add cond_syscall declarations for all syscalls in
      ipc/compat.c
