      [PATCH] Fix potential set_child_tid/clear_child_tid bug · b3cc42df
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: David Mosberger <davidm@napali.hpl.hp.com>
      
      At the moment, if you don't set CLONE_CHILD_SETTID/CLONE_CHILD_CLEARTID,
      the {set,clear}_child_tid values get inherited from the parent task.  I may
      be missing something, but I suspect that's not the intended behavior.  The
      patch below instead clears the respective members.

      [PATCH] slab poisoning fix · 237d5bd7
      Andrew Morton authored
      The slab debugging code is supposed to poison freshly-allocated obejcts with
      0x5a and freed ones with 0x6b, so we can distinguish use-uninitialised from
      use-after-free.
      
      It wasn't working right for recycled objects.  Fix.

      [PATCH] Add system calls statfs64 and fstatfs64 · 244f3626
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Peter Chubb <peter@chubb.wattle.id.au>
      
      Add two new system calls, statfs64 and fstatfs64.  This has been needed
      sincew the 64-bit sector_t merge - the current structures will overflow.
      
      - Use a common interface (vfs_statfs) with the rest of the kernel,
      
      - convert to 32-bit at (f)statfs time.
      
      - New field f_frsize gives underlying fragment size for the filesystem.
        (Solaris has this, and the Open Group describe it).
      
      - The old statfs syscalls will now return -EOVERFLOW if the device was
        too large to be represented inthe old data structures.
      
      The new system calls take a size_t argument, which is the size of the
      structure to be filled in (as requested by Ben LaHaise), to `futureproof' the
      interface.
      
      Has been reviewed by the arch maintainers and by Ulrich Drepper.

      [PATCH] /proc/kcore: handle unmapped areas · d717623a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
      
      On i386 and most other ports kern_addr_valid is hardcoded to 1.
      
      This works fine as long as only mapped areas are accessed.  When you have
      something partially mapped in the kclist it is possible that start points to
      an unmapped address.  The correct behaviour in this case is to zero the user
      space.  We shouldn't return -EFAULT because the fault is against the mmapped
      range, not against the user's address.
      
      copy_to_user usually even checks for exceptions on both source and
      destination, but it does not zero the destination in this case and worse
      results in EFAULT, which is user visible.
      
      This patch just tries to clear_user in this case again to actually zero the
      user data and catch real user side EFAULTs.
      
      Another way to fix this is to have kern_addr_valid do a real page table
      lookup (I did that on AMD64), but having this fallback is a bit more
      reliable in case there is a race somewhere.
      
      On i386 it could happen for example if the direct space to max_low_pfn
      contains something unmapped.  This normally isn't the case, but e.g.  the
      slab debugging patches in -mm* do this so it's better to handle it.
      
      Drawback is that it relies on a somewhat undocumented copy_to_user behaviour
      (fault on both source and destination).  It is true for i386 and amd64, but I
      don't know if it is for other port.  In the worst case they just don't have
      the race protection and may see bogus EFAULTs.

      [PATCH] Fix /proc/kcore for i386 · 98c94255
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de>
      
      The recent IA64 changes for /proc/kcore broke the access on i386.
      Currently no notes are written for the direct mapped or vmalloced memory,
      which makes gdb reject it.
      
      This patch fixes it.  Other ports probably need to do the same changes.

      [PATCH] range checking in rd_open() · 25a8424c
      Andrew Morton authored
      If you open /dev/ram7 when the kernel is configured for 4 ramdisks, things
      blow up.  Teach rd_open() to check that the minor is in range.

      [PATCH] kjournald shutdown fix · 561516c8
      Andrew Morton authored
      If someome tries to unmount the fs while kjournald is performing a commit,
      kjournald forgets to look for the termination request and goes into permanent
      sleep.

      [PATCH] ia32 copy_from_user() fix · 53f35f47
      Andrew Morton authored
      The memset which is performed if access_ok() fails got lost in the
      copy_*_user() rework.  Put it back.
      
      Bloats the kernel by 8k :(
      
      Also contains a few related #includes and whitespace fixlets from

      [PATCH] Enhanced SiS96x support · e6d3a689
      Lionel Bouton authored
      This is an update for the SiS IDE driver.
      
      This is a 99% Vojtech work :
      - Independant southbridge detection (no need to add current and future
        MuTIOL northbridge PCI ids knowledge to the driver),
      - Lots of code cleanup,
      - Debug code removed (unused for a while, I will maintain it in my tree
        if needed),
      
      I changed some things:
      - the new config_xfer_rate is commented out until ide_find_best_mode is
        patched for bad drive handling (until then I reverted to the old one
        using the config_drive_xfer_rate helper function).

      [PATCH] reimplement pci proc name · b7245e82
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      Hi Greg.  Ivan's not happy with the solution I came up with for naming
      /proc/bus/pci and Anton would prefer something slightly different too,
      so I abstracted the name out so each architecture can do its own thing.
      
      This is against 2.5.72 so won't apply cleanly to your tree (it
      applies to bitkeeper as of a few minutes ago with only minor offsets).
      I've implemented the original name for non-PCI-domain machines; done what
      ia64 and alpha need, respectively (assuming I didn't misunderstand Ivan),
      and plopped in the Old Way of doing things for Sparc64, PPC and PPC64.
      Maintainers may alter this to whatever degree of complexity they wish.
