restore sigcontext is taking a DNA exception while restoring FP context from the user stack, during the sigreturn. Appended patch fixes it by doing clts() if the app doesn't touch FP during the signal handler execution. This will stop generating a DNA, during the fxrstor in the sigreturn. This improves 64-bit lat_sig numbers by ~30% on my core2 platform. Signed-off-by: Suresh Siddha <suresh.b.siddha@intel.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped). The effect of this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own process--in a case where there was never any privileged data to protect. This affects e.g. auxv, environ, fd; in Fedora (execshield) kernels, also maps. In practice, you can only notice this when a debugger has requested PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT tracing. set_dumpable was only used in do_coredump for synchronization and not intended for any security purpose. (It doesn't secure anything that wasn't already unsecured when a process dies by SIGTERM instead of SIGQUIT.) This changes do_coredump to check the core_waiters count as the means of synchronization, which is sufficient. Now we leave the "dumpable" bits alone.

Oops. The current code does not like being given an u16 with the highest bit set as an argument to mdio_write. Let's enforce a correct range of values for both the register address and value (resp. 5 and 16 bits). The callers are currently left as-is.

The link state machine requires access to some resources that are shared with the iSCSI function on the chip. (See iSCSI driver at drivers/scsi/qla4xxx) If the interface is being up/downed at a rapid pace this driver may need to sleep waiting to get access to the common resources. For this we are moving the state machine to run as a work thread. Signed-off-by: Ron Mercer <ron.mercer@qlogic.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>

The standard validate_addr handler refuses to accept the all zeroes address as valid. However, it's common historical practice for the bonding master to be configured up prior to having any slaves, at which time the master will have a MAC address of all zeroes. Resolved by setting the dev->validate_addr to NULL. The master still can't end up with an invalid address, as the set_mac_address function tests for validity.

Looks like I incorrectly merged one of the rtnl lock changes, so that one function, bonding_show_active_slave, held rtnl but didn't release it, and another, bonding_store_active_slave, never held rtnl but did release it. Fixed so the first function doesn't mess with rtnl, and the second correctly acquires and releases rtnl.

Fix an IRQ race condition in b43legacy. If we call b43legacy_wireless_core_stop(), it will set the status of the device to INITIALIZED and the IRQ handler won't care any longer about IRQs, thus the kernel will disable the IRQ if it's shared (unless we boot it with the 'irqpoll' option). So we must disable IRQs before changing the device status. Signed-off-by: Stefano Brivio <stefano.brivio@polimi.it> Signed-off-by: John W. Linville <linville@tuxdriver.com>
