On the SCSI layer ioctl path there is no implicit permissions check for ioctls (and indeed other drivers implement unprivileged ioctls). aacraid however allows all sorts of very admin only things to be done so should check.

Use the correct local variable when calling into the page allocator. Local `flags' can have __GFP_ZERO set, which causes us to pass __GFP_ZERO into the page allocator, possibly from illegal contexts. The page allocator will later do prep_zero_page()->kmap_atomic(..., KM_USER0) from irq contexts and will then go BUG.

dequeue_huge_page() has a serious memory leak upon hugetlb page allocation. The for loop continues on allocating hugetlb pages out of all allowable zone, where this function is supposedly only dequeue one and only one pages. Fixed it by breaking out of the for loop once a hugetlb page is found.

S.Caglar Onur points out that many distributions don't ship a static zlib. Unfortunately the launcher currently maps virtual device memory where shared libraries want to go. The solution is to pre-scan the args to figure out how much memory we have, then allocate devices above that, rather than down from the top possible address. This also turns out to be simpler.

Fallout from f8a7c6fe. However, looking at it shows that checks done in ASUS_LED_UNREGISTER() can't trigger at all (we never get to asus_led_exit() if registration fails) and if that registration fails, we actually leak stuff. IOW, it's worse than just replacing class_dev with dev in there - the tests themselves had been papering over the lousy cleanup logics.

The handling of the re-registration case is wrong here; the "test" that was returned from auth_domain_lookup will not be used again, so that reference should be put. And auth_domain_lookup never did anything with "new" in this case, so we should just clean it up ourself. Thanks to Akinobu Mita for bug report, analysis, and testing.

2.6.23-rc1 turned up another batch of references from non-__init code to __init code. In most cases, these were missing __init annotations. In one case (os_drop_memory), the annotation was present but wrong. init_maps is __init, but for some reason was being very careful about the mechanism by which it allocated memory, checking whether it was OK to use kmalloc (at this point in the boot, it definitely isn't) and using either alloc_bootmem_low_pages or kmalloc/vmalloc. So, the kmalloc/vmalloc code is removed.

Restructure do_aio thanks to commments from Ulrich and Al. Uli started this by seeing that UML's initialization of a struct iocb initialized fields that it shouldn't. Al followed up by adding the following cleanups: eliminating a variable by just using an anonymous structure in its place. hoisting a duplicated line out of the switch. simplifying the error checking at the end. I added a severity to the printk.

In 2.6.23-rc1, i386 fiddled its string support such that UML started getting undefined references from modules. The UML asm/string.h was including the i386 string.h, which defined __HAVE_ARCH_STR*, but the corresponding implementations weren't being pulled in. This is fixed by adding arch/i386/lib/string.h to the list of host architecture files to be pulled in to UML. A complication is that the libc exports file assumed that the generic strlen and strstr weren't in use (i.e. __HAVE_ARCH_STR is defined), then they aren't exported. This is untrue for strlen, which is exported in either case, so this logic is not needed.

Ulrich Drepper authored
The fallocate syscall returns ENOSYS in case the filesystem does not support the operation and expects the userlevel code to fill in. This is good in concept. The problem is that the libc code for old kernels should be able to distinguish the case where the syscall is not at all available vs not functioning for a specific mount point. As is this is not possible and we always have to invoke the syscall even if the kernel doesn't support it. I suggest the following patch. Using EOPNOTSUPP is IMO the right thing to do.

At present, various parts of the serial code use unsigned long to define resource addresses. This is a problem, because some 32-bit platforms have physical addresses larger than 32-bits, and have mmio serial uarts located above the 4GB point. This patch changes the type of mapbase in both struct uart_port and struct plat_serial8250_port to resource_size_t, which can be configured to be 64 bits on such platforms. The mapbase in serial_struct can't safely be changed, because that structure is user visible.

The recent 9p commit: bd238fb4 that supposedly only moved files also introduced a new 9p sysctl interface that did not properly register it's sysctl binary numbers. And since it was only for debugging clearly did not need a binary fast path in any case. So this patch just remove the binary numbers. See Documentation/sysctl/ctl_unnumbered.txt for more details. While I was at it I cleaned up the sysctl initializers a little as well so there is less to read.
