From: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Fix more bad issues in the x86-64 machine check handler. - Actually test status after reading it from the register, not before. - Check the UC bit instead of the PCC bit to detect the bank which caused the exception. - Add tolerant==3 level for easier testing. This will avoid any panics. - Don't threat bank overflows as fatal - they must have come from a non fatal exception, which should not cause a panic.

From: Bruno Ducrot <poup@poupinou.org> I'm trying to replace for_each_cpu() with for_each_cpu_mask() in arch/i386/kernel/cpu/cpufreq/p4-clockmod.c Unfortunately, though, davej pointed me that for_each_cpu_mask() is not defined in -bk if CONFIG_SMP is not defined.

sparse tokenizes everything. Including #include directives. Which means that it doesn't want to see "//" in a include filename, since that's a comment outside of a string. And inside of a string it's too dark to read.

We need to clear all exceptions before synchronizing with the FPU, since we aren't ready to handle a FP exception here and we're getting rid of all FP state. Special thanks to Alexander Nyberg for reports and testing. Alternate patches by Sergey Vlasov and Andi Kleen, who both worked on this. Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

- Modify fs/ntfs/ntfs_readdir() to copy the index root attribute value to a buffer so that we can put the search context and unmap the mft record before calling the filldir() callback. We need to do this because of NFSd which calls ->lookup() from its filldir callback() and this causes NTFS to deadlock as ntfs_lookup() maps the mft record of the directory and since ntfs_readdir() has got it mapped already ntfs_lookup() deadlocks.

and/or d->send_sizes. When these functions are called from gamma_dma, these pointers are user pointers and are thus not safe to deref.

This bug took forever to debug (just ask Ben :-). When we move the completion event from the failed request to the sense request, we risk either the initial complete and then later complete on a long gone ->waiting. I think this business of moving the completion structure to the request sense is a bit bogus and always has been, and the bug is fixed nicely by just rewriting this logic a bit. So instead we simply unconditionally dequeue the failed request (regardless of whether it was REQ_PC or REQ_BLOCK_PC), and pass a reference to it in the sense request. When the sense completes, we call end io on the originally failed request (which does the complete() etc). Signed-off-by: Jens Axboe <axboe@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

dup_mmap() unnecessarily tries to account for memory of the vma's it has created if it fails in the middle. However, that's pointless (and wrong), since the exit_mmap() path called through mmput() will do so anyway in the failure path. Just remove the bogus un-accounting code.

It puts two 2kB temp areas on the stack, which is guaranteed to overflow a 4kB stack if that path is ever taken. Both marked in the source, and both should be easy to fix but need testing. Found by Jörn Engel.

From: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> The recent change to vga16fb's memory mapping that you partially reverted is still broken. In particular, it's setting fix.mem_start to a virtual address on i386. The value of fix.mem_start is meant to be physical. We could simply apply virt_to_phys to it, but somehow I doubt that is what it's meant to do on arm. So until we hear from someone who knows how it works on arm, let's just revert this change.

From: Andy Whitcroft <apw@shadowen.org> The sysctl interfaces for updating the uts entries such as hostname and domainname are using the wrong length for these buffers; they are hard coded to 64. Although safe, this artifically limits the size of these fields to one less than the true maximum. This generates an inconsistency between the various methods of update for these fields. # hostname 12345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345 hostname: name too long # hostname 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234 # hostname 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234 # sysctl -w kernel.hostname=1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 kernel.hostname = 1234567890123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890 # hostname 123456789012345678901234567890123456789012345678901234567890123 # The error originates from the fact the handler for strings (proc_dostring) already allows for the string terminator.

From: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com> In testing for SLES9, we ran across a bug caused by userspace apps poking the PIT which caused bad values to be read by the kernel. This would then trigger the lost tick detection code with insane values and would then break the SCSI subsystem. This patch includes the PIT sanity check from the TSC timesource into the cyclone timesource code, which catches the bad case described above and resolves the issue.

From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> This patch adds support for 6 system call arguments on s390. The first exploiter of this will be the sys_futex system call for the FUTEX_CMP_REQUEUE operation. The idea is simple: use register %r7 for the 6th argument. This can be extended to 7/8/9/... arguments if there ever will be the need for it. To call the system call function in the kernel the additional arguments needs to get stored on the stack. 8 bytes are added to the head of struct pt_regs. %r7 is stored to the additional field for all system calls. The store is hidden in a address-generation-interlock slot, it doesn't slow down the system call path.

From: Christoph Hellwig <hch@lst.de> drivers/block/paride/epat.c support two slightly different protocol variants. Currently it's compile-time selected by CONFIG_PARIDE_EPATC8, but this patch adds a epatc8 module option to allow runtime selection. CONFIG_PARIDE_EPATC8 stays for now but I'd like to kill it int 2.7. The basic patch is from the Debian kernel package (Author unknown) but I reworked it a bit.

From: Chris Mason <mason@suse.com> There's a small window where the filesystem can be unmounted during writeback_inodes. The end result is the iput done by sync_sb_inodes could be done after the FS put_super and and the super has been removed from all lists. The fix is to hold the s_umount sem during sync_sb_inodes to make sure the FS doesn't get unmounted. Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
