Commit df5e6223 ("ext4: fix deadlock in ext4_symlink() in ENOSPC conditions") recalculated the number of credits needed for a long symlink, in the process of splitting it into two transactions. However, the first credit calculation under-counted because if selinux is enabled, credits are needed to create the selinux xattr as well. Overrunning the reservation will result in an OOPS in jbd2_journal_dirty_metadata() due to this assert: J_ASSERT_JH(jh, handle->h_buffer_credits > 0); Fix this by increasing the reservation size.

Vasiliy Kulikov authored
The patch http://lkml.org/lkml/2003/7/13/226 introduced an RLIMIT_NPROC check in set_user() to check for NPROC exceeding via setuid() and similar functions. Before the check there was a possibility to greatly exceed the allowed number of processes by an unprivileged user if the program relied on rlimit only. But the check created new security threat: many poorly written programs simply don't check setuid() return code and believe it cannot fail if executed with root privileges. So, the check is removed in this patch because of too often privilege escalations related to buggy programs. The NPROC can still be enforced in the common code flow of daemons spawning user processes. Most of daemons do fork()+setuid()+execve(). The check introduced in execve() (1) enforces the same limit as in setuid() and (2) doesn't create similar security issues. Neil Brown suggested to track what specific process has exceeded the limit by setting PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED process flag. With the change only this process would fail on execve(), and other processes' execve() behaviour is not changed. Solar Designer suggested to re-check whether NPROC limit is still exceeded at the moment of execve(). If the process was sleeping for days between set*uid() and execve(), and the NPROC counter step down under the limit, the defered execve() failure because NPROC limit was exceeded days ago would be unexpected. If the limit is not exceeded anymore, we clear the flag on successful calls to execve() and fork(). The flag is also cleared on successful calls to set_user() as the limit was exceeded for the previous user, not the current one. Similar check was introduced in -ow patches (without the process flag). v3 - clear PF_NPROC_EXCEEDED on successful calls to set_user().

syslog-ng versions before 3.3.0beta1 (2011-05-12) assume that CAP_SYS_ADMIN is sufficient to access syslog, so ever since CAP_SYSLOG was introduced (2010-11-25) they have triggered a warning. Commit ee24aebf ("cap_syslog: accept CAP_SYS_ADMIN for now") improved matters a little by making syslog-ng work again, just keeping the WARN_ONCE(). But still, this is a warning that writes a stack trace we don't care about to syslog, sets a taint flag, and alarms sysadmins when nothing worse has happened than use of an old userspace with a recent kernel. Convert the WARN_ONCE to a printk_once to avoid that while continuing to give userspace developers a hint that this is an unwanted backward-compatibility feature and won't be around forever.

The cache is already cleaned up, though.

deactivate_slab() has the comparison if more than the minimum number of partial pages are in the partial list wrong. An effect of this may be that empty pages are not freed from deactivate_slab(). The result could be an OOM due to growth of the partial slabs per node. Frees mostly occur from __slab_free which is okay so this would only affect use cases where a lot of switching around of per cpu slabs occur. Switching per cpu slabs occurs with high frequency if debugging options are enabled.

The check_bytes() function is used by slub debugging. It returns a pointer to the first unmatching byte for a character in the given memory area. If the character for matching byte is greater than 0x80, check_bytes() doesn't work. Becuase 64-bit pattern is generated as below. value64 = value | value << 8 | value << 16 | value << 24; value64 = value64 | value64 << 32; The integer promotions are performed and sign-extended as the type of value is u8. The upper 32 bits of value64 is 0xffffffff in the first line, and the second line has no effect. This fixes the 64-bit pattern generation.

Currently, it's possible to set the kernel to ignore alignment faults when changing the alignment fault handling mode at runtime via /proc/sys/alignment, even though this is undesirable on ARMv6 and above, where it can result in infinite spins where an un-fixed- up instruction repeatedly faults. In addition, the kernel clobbers any alignment mode specified on the command-line if running on ARMv6 or above. This patch factors out the necessary safety check into a couple of new helper functions, and checks and modifies the fault handling mode as appropriate on boot and on writes to /proc/cpu/alignment. Prior to ARMv6, the behaviour is unchanged. For ARMv6 and above, the behaviour changes as follows: * Attempting to ignore faults on ARMv6 results in the mode being forced to UM_FIXUP instead. A warning is printed if this happened as a result of a write to /proc/cpu/alignment. The user's UM_WARN bit (if present) is still honoured. * An alignment= argument from the kernel command-line is now honoured, except that the kernel will modify the specified mode as described above. This is allows modes such as UM_SIGNAL and UM_WARN to be active immediately from boot, which is useful for debugging purposes.

poison_init_mem() used a loop of: while ((count = count - 4)) which has 2 problems - an off by one error so that we do one less word than we should, and the other is that if count == 0 then we loop forever and poison too much. On a platform with HAVE_TCM=y but nothing in the TCM's, this caused corruption and the platform failed to boot.

The file mm/proc-arm946.S contains a typo and is missing a structure member in __arm946_proc_info. The former prevents compilation and the latter causes problems during boot. It is likely this file was manually copied from a similar file and not tested, then later updates to the *_proc_info structures missed this file. This patch will apply (with offset) with or without the recent macro unification work that has been done in this directory. This was verified against linux-next/stable last week.

Something changed during the 3.1 merge window in the include files which now causes the pl08x DMA engine driver to fail to build. Fix this by adding the now necessary dma-mapping.h include: drivers/dma/amba-pl08x.c: In function ■pl08x_unmap_buffers■: drivers/dma/amba-pl08x.c:1524: error: implicit declaration of function ■dma_unmap_single■ drivers/dma/amba-pl08x.c:1527: error: implicit declaration of function ■dma_unmap_page■ Acked-by: Vinod Koul <vinod.koul@intel.com> Acked-by: Linus Walleij <linus.walleij@linaro.org> Signed-off-by: Russell King <rmk+kernel@arm.linux.org.uk>

In commit 2efaca92 ("mm/futex: fix futex writes on archs with SW tracking of dirty & young") we forgot about MMU=n. This patch fixes that.
