Rusty decided to preprocess a *.lds.S file in parallele with the new *.lds infrastructure being added to kbuild. Fix that up. Also added the file to targets so we do not see recompile each time the kernel is build. Signed-off-by: Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org>

Gadgetfs updates: - Resolve a problem that came from a change in the API to AIO: kiocb->private type and size changed, but the name remained the same ... so GCC wouldn't report pending memory-corruption. - Probe the controller at runtime, eliminatingting config-specific defines which need to be updated for each new controller. Rip out the old #defines. - Use newish APIs to let VBUS current be used to recharge batteries (or whatever). - Use no_llseek() ... endpoints are pure data streams.

The previous workaround didn't enable the BTIC bit on CPUs where it is broken. However, it seems some firmwares will unconditionally set it, so this new patch will actually _clear_ it on CPUs where it is broken.

Recent yenta_socket (and maybe others) rely on some pcibios_* functions to be available to modules. This exports them.

That was a nasty one - missing include of config.h in a file that has non-trivial ifdefs. With some configs it ended up with very odd conflicts (we get included early, take the wrong branch of ifdef, then get another file included, it pulls in config.h and picks the right branch of its ifdef; surprise, surprise, they conflict).

It looks fine to me, except that I decided to play chicken as far as the give_sigsegv update of sa_handler is concerned. Arun, I hope I got the ia32 emulation parts right, but you may want to double-check. The patch seems to work fine as far as I have tested. I'm seeing some oddity in context-switch overhead and pipe latency as reported by LMbench, but I suspect that's due to another change that happened somewhere between 2.6.5-rc1 and Linus' bk tree as of this morning.

Add the signal race changes to x86-64 to make it compile again. Didn't merge the more pointless changes from i386. Also remove the special SA_ONESHOT handling, doesn't seem to be needed anymore. From: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@csd.uu.se> The signal-race-fixes patch in 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 appears to have broken x86-64's ia32 emulation. When forcing a SIGSEGV the old code updated "*ka", where ka was a pointer to current's k_sigaction for SIGSEGV. Now "ka_copy" points to a copy of that structure, so assigning "*ka_copy" doesn't do what we want. Instead do the assignment via current->... just like the normal signal delivery code does.

2.6.8-rc2-mm1 reintroduced the signal-race-fixes patch for i386, x86_64, s390, and ia64, breaking all other archs. The patch below updates ppc, following the pattern of i386.

Update s30 for the signal race fix From: Mikael Pettersson <mikpe@csd.uu.se> The signal-race-fixes patch in 2.6.8-rc2-mm1 appears to be a bit broken on s390. When forcing a SIGSEGV the old code updated "*ka", where ka was a pointer to current's k_sigaction for SIGSEGV. Now "ka_copy" points to a copy of that structure, so assigning "*ka_copy" doesn't do what we want. Instead do the assignment via current->... just like i386 and x86_64 do. Furthermore, the SA_ONESHOT handling wasn't deleted. That is now handled by generic code in the kernel. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The problem: In arch/i386/signal.c, in the do_signal() function, it calls get_signal_to_deliver() which returns the signal number to deliver (along with siginfo). get_signal_to_deliver() grabs and releases the lock, so the signal handler lock is not held in do_signal(). Then the do_signal() calls handle_signal(), which uses the signal number to extract the sa_handler, etc. Since no lock is held, it seems like another thread with the same signal handler set can come in and call sigaction(), it can change sa_handler between the call to get_signal_to_deliver() and fetching the value of sa_handler. If the sigaction() call set it to SIG_IGN, SIG_DFL, or some other fundamental change, that bad things can happen. The patch: You have to get the sigaction information that will be delivered while holding sighand->siglock in get_signal_to_deliver(). In 2.4, it can be fixed per-arch and requires no change to the arch-independent code because the arch fetches the signal with dequeue_signal() and does all the checking. The test app: The program below has three threads that share signal handlers. Thread 1 changes the signal handler for a signal from a handler to SIG_IGN and back. Thread 0 sends signals to thread 3, which just receives them. What I believe is happening is that thread 1 changes the signal handler in the process of thread 3 receiving the signal, between the time that thread 3 fetches the signal info using get_signal_to_deliver() and actually delivers the signal with handle_signal(). Although the program is obvously an extreme case, it seems like any time you set the handler value of a signal to SIG_IGN or SIG_DFL, you can have this happen. Changing signal attributes might also cause problems, although I am not so sure about that. (akpm: this test app segv'd on SMP within milliseconds for me) #include <signal.h> #include <stdio.h> #include <sched.h> char stack1[16384]; char stack2[16384]; void sighnd(int sig) { } int child1(void *data) { struct sigaction act; sigemptyset(&act.sa_mask); act.sa_flags = 0; for (;;) { act.sa_handler = sighnd; sigaction(45, &act, NULL); act.sa_handler = SIG_IGN; sigaction(45, &act, NULL); } } int child2(void *data) { for (;;) { sleep(100); } } int main(int argc, char *argv[]) { int pid1, pid2; signal(45, SIG_IGN); pid2 = clone(child2, stack2 + sizeof(stack2) - 8, CLONE_SIGHAND | CLONE_VM, NULL); pid1 = clone(child1, stack1 + sizeof(stack2) - 8, CLONE_SIGHAND | CLONE_VM, NULL); for (;;) { kill(pid2, 45); } } Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

The ebtables brouting chain, traversed through the call br_should_route_hook(), can alter a packet. The redirect target does this, f.e., to change the MAC destination. Bart discovered this and proposed a patch; this is a revised version. This version cleans up the handle_bridge code in net/core/dev.c as well as getting rid of extra rcu_read_lock and only does the br_port checking once.
