This patch uses MAX_REG_NR consistently to refer to the register file size. FRAME_SIZE isn't sufficient because on x86_64, it is smaller than the ptrace register file size. MAX_REG_NR was introduced as a consistent way to get the number of registers, but wasn't used everywhere it should be. When this causes a problem, it makes PTRACE_SETREGS fail on x86_64 because of a corrupted segment register value in the known-good register file. The patch also adds a register dump at that point in case there are any future problems here. Signed-off-by:

During a static link, ld has started putting a .note section in the .uml.setup.init section. This has the result that the UML setups begin with 32 bytes of garbage and UML crashes immediately on boot. This patch creates a specific .note section for ld to drop this stuff into. Signed-off-by:

This fixes a problem seen by a number of people running UML on newer host kernels. init would hang with an infinite segfault loop. It turns out that the host kernel was providing a AT_SYSINFO_EHDR of 0xffffe000, which faked UML into believing that the host VDSO page could be reused. However, AT_SYSINFO pointed into the middle of the address space, and was unmapped as a result. Because UML was providing AT_SYSINFO_EHDR and AT_SYSINFO to its own processes, these would branch to nowhere when trying to use the VDSO. The fix is to also check the location of AT_SYSINFO when deciding whether to use the host's VDSO. Signed-off-by:

sata_nv: delay on switching between NCQ and non-NCQ commands This patch appears to solve some problems with commands timing out in cases where an NCQ command is immediately followed by a non-NCQ command (or possibly vice versa). This is a rather ugly solution, but until we know more about why this is needed, this is about all we can do. [backport to 2.6.20 by Chuck Ebbert <cebbert@redhat.com>] Signed-off-by:

[SPARC64]: store-init needs trailing membar. The manual says that it is required and we actually have crash reports where loads see stale data due to not having membars here. In one case the networking does: memset(skb, 0, offsetof(struct sk_buff, truesize)); and then some code later checks skb->nohdr for zero, but it's still the value that was there before the memset(). Note that arch/sparc64/lib/xor.S already got this right. Signed-off-by:

Read does trigger it in my system. The bug is not associated with any specific HBA. st tries to do direct i/o in fixed block mode with reads that are not a multiple of tape block size. The patch in this message fixes the st problem by switching to using the driver buffer up to the next close of the device file in fixed block mode if the user asks for a read like this. I don't know why the bug has surfaced only after 2.6.17 although the st problem is old. There may be another bug in the block subsystem and this patch works around it. However, the patch fixes a problem in st and in this way it is a valid fix. This patch may also fix the bug 7900. The patch compiles and is lightly tested. Signed-off-by:

x86_64 needs some TLS fixes. What was missing was remembering the child thread id during clone and stuffing it into the child during each context switch. The %fs value is stored separately in the thread structure since the host controls what effect it has on the actual register file. The host also needs to store it in its own thread struct, so we need the value kept outside the register file. arch_prctl_skas was fixed to call PTRACE_ARCH_PRCTL appropriately. There is some saving and restoring of registers in the ARCH_SET_* cases so that the correct set of registers are changed on the host and restored to the process when it runs again. Signed-off-by:

This patch fixes a user-triggerable oops that was reported by Leonid Ananiev as archived at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/2/8/337. dio writes invalidate clean pages that intersect the written region so that subsequent buffered reads go to disk to read the new data. If this fails the interface tries to tell the caller that the cache is inconsistent by returning EIO. Before this patch we had the problem where this invalidation failure would clobber -EIOCBQUEUED as it made its way from fs/direct-io.c to fs/aio.c. Both fs/aio.c and bio completion call aio_complete() and we reference freed memory, usually oopsing. This patch addresses this problem by invalidating before the write so that we can cleanly return -EIO before ->direct_IO() has had a chance to return -EIOCBQUEUED. There is a compromise here. During the dio write we can fault in mmap()ed pages which intersect the written range with get_user_pages() if the user provided them for the source buffer. This is a crazy thing to do, but we can make it mostly work in most cases by trying the invalidation again. The compromise is that we won't return an error if this second invalidation fails if it's an AIO write and we have -EIOCBQUEUED. This was tested by having two processes race performing large O_DIRECT and buffered ordered writes. Within minutes ext3 would see a race between ext3_releasepage() and jbd holding a reference on ordered data buffers and would cause invalidation to fail, panicing the box. The test can be found in the 'aio_dio_bugs' test group in test.kernel.org/autotest. After this patch the test passes. Signed-off-by:

Thus the earlier fix to change AZX_MAX_CODECS to 3 cause a regression on some devices that have the audio codec at bit#3. Now max codecs is defined according to the driver type, either 3 or 4.

[SPARC64]: Get DEBUG_PAGEALLOC working again. We have to make sure to use base-pagesize TLB entries even during the early transition period where we need TLB miss handling but don't have the kernel page tables setup yet for the linear region. Also, it is necessary therefore to not use the 4MB TSB for these translations, and instead use the normal kernel TSB. This allows us to also get rid of the 4MB tsb for debug builds which shrinks the kernel a little bit. Signed-off-by:

[IPV6]: ipv6_fl_socklist is inadvertently shared. The ipv6_fl_socklist from listening socket is inadvertently shared with new socket created for connection. This leads to a variety of interesting, but fatal, bugs. For example, removing one of the sockets may lead to the other socket's encountering a page fault when the now freed list is referenced. The fix is to not share the flow label list with the new socket. Signed-off-by:

[XFRM]: Fix missing protocol comparison of larval SAs. I noticed that in xfrm_state_add we look for the larval SA in a few places without checking for protocol match. So when using both AH and ESP, whichever one gets added first, deletes the larval SA. It seems AH always gets added first and ESP is always the larval SA's protocol since the xfrm->tmpl has it first. Thus causing the additional km_query() Adding the check eliminates accidental double SA creation. Signed-off-by:

hrtimer_forward() does not check for the possible overflow of timer->expires. This can happen on 64 bit machines with large interval values and results currently in an endless loop in the softirq because the expiry value becomes negative and therefor the timer is expired all the time. Check for this condition and set the expiry value to the max. expiry time in the future. The fix should be applied to stable kernel series as well. Signed-off-by:

The current CIPSO engine has a problem where it does not verify that the given sensitivity level has a valid CIPSO mapping when the "std" CIPSO DOI type is used. The end result is that bad packets are sent on the wire which should have never been sent in the first place. This patch corrects this problem by verifying the sensitivity level mapping similar to what is done with the category mapping. This patch also changes the returned error code in this case to -EPERM to better match what the category mapping verification code returns. Signed-off-by:

Recent alterations to the gdth_fill_raw_cmd() path no longer set the sg_ranz field for zero transfer commands. However, this field is used lower down in the function to initialise ha->cmd_len to the size of the firmware packet. If this uninitialised field contains a bogus value, ha->cmd_len can become much larger than the actual firmware packet and end up oopsing in gdth_copy_cmd() as it tries to copy this huge packet to the device (usually because it runs into an unallocated page). The fix is to initialise the sg_ranz field to zero at the start of gdth_fill_raw_cmd(). Signed-off-by:
