Because it caused a chroot ttyname regression in 2.6.36. As of 2.6.36 ttyname does not work in a chroot. It has already been reported that screen breaks, and for me this breaks an automated distribution testsuite, that I need to preserve the ability to run the existing binaries on for several more years. glibc 2.11.3 which has a fix for this is not an option. The root cause of this breakage is: commit 8df9d1a4 Author: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Date: Tue Aug 10 11:41:41 2010 +0200 vfs: show unreachable paths in getcwd and proc Prepend "(unreachable)" to path strings if the path is not reachable from the current root. Two places updated are - the return string from getcwd() - and symlinks under /proc/$PID. Other uses of d_path() are left unchanged (we know that some old software crashes if /proc/mounts is changed). Signed-off-by: Miklos Szeredi <mszeredi@suse.cz> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk> So remove the nice sounding, but ultimately ill advised change to how /proc/fd symlinks work.

K class aka KittyHawk don't have LED support on their LCD. Installing HP-UX confirmed this. The current led_wq fills the LCD with black characters each time it runs. The patch prevents the led_wq workqueue and its proc entry to be created for KittyHawk machines. It also increase min_cmd_delay as currently, one character out of two is lost when a string is sent to the LCD.

The generic conversion eliminates the spurious no_ack and no_end routines, converts all the cascaded handlers to handle_simple_irq() and makes iosapic use a modified handle_percpu_irq() to become the same as the CPU irq's. This isn't an essential change, but it eliminates the mask/unmask overhead of handle_level_irq().

The essential problem we're currently having is that dino (and gsc) is a cascaded CPU interrupt. Under the old __do_IRQ() handler, our CPU interrupts basically did an ack followed by an end. In the new scheme, we replaced them with level handlers which do a mask, an ack and then an unmask (but no end). Instead, with the renaming of end to eoi, we actually want to call the percpu flow handlers, because they actually have all the characteristics we want. This patch does the conversion and gets my C360 booting again. Signed-off-by: James Bottomley <James.Bottomley@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Kyle McMartin <kyle@mcmartin.ca>

My new shiny code for corrupted PEB detection has NOR specific bug. We tread PEB as corrupted and preserve it, if 1. EC header is OK. 2. VID header is corrupted. 3. data area is not "all 0xFFs" In case of NOR we have 'nor_erase_prepare()' quirk, which invalidates the headers before erasing the PEB. And we invalidate first the VID header, and then the EC header. So if a power cut happens after we have invalidated the VID header, but before we have invalidated the EC header, we end up with a PEB which satisfies the above 3 conditions, and the scanning code will treat it as corrupted, and will print scary warnings, wrongly. This patch fixes the issue by firt invalidating the EC header, then invalidating the VID header. In case of power cut inbetween, we still just lose the EC header, and UBI can deal with this situation gracefully. Thanks to Anatolij Gustschin <agust@denx.de> for tracking this down.

If a user manages to trigger an oops with fs set to KERNEL_DS, fs is not otherwise reset before do_exit(). do_exit may later (via mm_release in fork.c) do a put_user to a user-controlled address, potentially allowing a user to leverage an oops into a controlled write into kernel memory. This is only triggerable in the presence of another bug, but this potentially turns a lot of DoS bugs into privilege escalations, so it's worth fixing. I have proof-of-concept code which uses this bug along with CVE-2010-3849 to write a zero to an arbitrary kernel address, so I've tested that this is not theoretical. A more logical place to put this fix might be when we know an oops has occurred, before we call do_exit(), but that would involve changing every architecture, in multiple places. Let's just stick it in do_exit instead.

On stock 2.6.37-rc4, running: # mount lilith:/export /mnt/lilith # find /mnt/lilith/ -type f -print0 | xargs -0 file crashes the machine fairly quickly under Xen. Often it results in oops messages, but the couple of times I tried just now, it just hung quietly and made Xen print some rude messages: (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000001 != exp 3000000000000000) for mfn 1d7058 (pfn 18fa7) (XEN) mm.c:964:d80 Attempt to create linear p.t. with write perms (XEN) mm.c:2389:d80 Bad type (saw 7400000000000010 != exp 1000000000000000) for mfn 1d2e04 (pfn 1d1fb) (XEN) mm.c:2965:d80 Error while pinning mfn 1d2e04 Which means the domain tried to map a pagetable page RW, which would allow it to map arbitrary memory, so Xen stopped it. This is because vm_unmap_ram() left some pages mapped in the vmalloc area after NFS had finished with them, and those pages got recycled as pagetable pages while still having these RW aliases. Removing those mappings immediately removes the Xen-visible aliases, and so it has no problem with those pages being reused as pagetable pages. Deferring the TLB flush doesn't upset Xen because it can flush the TLB itself as needed to maintain its invariants. When unmapping a region in the vmalloc space, clear the ptes immediately. There's no point in deferring this because there's no amortization benefit. The TLBs are left dirty, and they are flushed lazily to amortize the cost of the IPIs. This specific motivation for this patch is an oops-causing regression since 2.6.36 when using NFS under Xen, triggered by the NFS client's use of vm_map_ram() introduced in 56e4ebf8 ("NFS: readdir with vmapped pages") . XFS also uses vm_map_ram() and could cause similar problems.

The AMD Geode CS5536 Companion Device Silicon Revision B1 Specification Update mentions the follow as issue #36: "Atomic write transactions to the atomic GPIO High Bank Feature Bit registers should only affect the bits selected [...]" "after Suspend, an atomic write transaction [...] will clear all non-selected bits of the accessed register." In other words, writing to the high bank for a single GPIO bit will clear every other GPIO bit (but only sometimes after a suspend). The workaround described is obvious and simple; do a read-modify-write. This patch does that, and documents why we're doing it.

reiserfs_acl_chmod() can be called by reiserfs_set_attr() and then take the reiserfs lock a second time. Thereafter it may call journal_begin() that definitely requires the lock not to be nested in order to release it before taking the journal mutex because the reiserfs lock depends on the journal mutex already. So, aviod nesting the lock in reiserfs_acl_chmod().

It's not useful to build LED triggers when there's no LEDs that can be triggered by them. Therefore, fix up the dependencies so that this cannot happen, and fix a few users that select triggers to depend on LEDS_CLASS as well (there is also one user that also selects LEDS_CLASS, which is OK).

The nr_dirty_[background_]threshold fields are misplaced before the numa_* fields, and users will read strange values. This is the right order. Before patch, nr_dirty_background_threshold will read as 0 (the value from numa_miss). numa_hit 128501 numa_miss 0 numa_foreign 0 numa_interleave 7388 numa_local 128501 numa_other 0 nr_dirty_threshold 144291 nr_dirty_background_threshold 72145 Signed-off-by: Wu Fengguang <fengguang.wu@intel.com> Cc: Michael Rubin <mrubin@google.com> Reviewed-by: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com> Reviewed-by: Minchan Kim <minchan.kim@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

Have hugetlb_fault() call unlock_page(page) only if it had previously called lock_page(page). Setting CONFIG_DEBUG_VM=y and then running the libhugetlbfs test suite, resulted in the tripping of VM_BUG_ON(!PageLocked(page)) in unlock_page() having been called by hugetlb_fault() when page == pagecache_page. This patch remedied the problem.
