This fixes the regression in 2.6.35-rcX where bluetooth network devices would fail to be deleted from sysfs, causing their destruction and recreation to fail. In addition this fixes the mac80211_hwsim driver where it would leave around sysfs files when the driver was removed. This problem is discussed at https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16257 The reason for the regression is that the network namespace support added to sysfs expects and requires that network devices be put in directories that can contain only network devices. Today get_device_parent almost provides that guarantee for all class devices, except for a specific exception when the parent of a class devices is a class device. It would be nice to simply remove that arguably incorrect special case, but apparently the input devices depend on it being there. So I have only removed it for class devices with network namespace support. Which today are the network devices. It has been suggested that a better fix would be to change the parent device from a class device to a bus device, which in the case of the bluetooth driver would change /sys/class/bluetooth to /sys/bus/bluetoth, I can not see how we would avoid significant userspace breakage if we were to make that change. Adding an extra directory in the path to the device will also be userspace visible but it is much less likely to break things. Everything is still accessible from /sys/class (for example), and it fixes two bugs. Adding an extra directory fixes a 3 year old regression introduced with the new sysfs layout that makes it impossible to rename bnep0 network devices to names that conflict with hci device attributes like hci_revsion. Adding an additional directory removes the new failure modes introduced by the network namespace code. If it weren't for the regession in the renaming of network devices I would figure out how to just make the sysfs code deal with this configuration of devices. In summary this patch fixes regressions by changing: "/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/bnep0" to "/sys/class/bluetooth/hci0/net/bnep0".

virtio ring was changed to return an error code on OOM, but one caller was missed and still checks for vq->vring.num. The fix is just to check for <0 error code. Long term it might make sense to change goto add_head to just return an error on oom instead, but let's apply a minimal fix for 2.6.35.

Commit 2a6b6976 (ACPI: Store NVS state even when entering suspend to RAM) caused the ACPI suspend code save the NVS area during suspend and restore it during resume unconditionally, although it is known that some systems need to use acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs for hibernation to work. To allow the affected systems to avoid saving and restoring the NVS area during suspend to RAM and resume, introduce kernel command line option acpi_sleep=nonvs and make acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs work as its alias temporarily (add acpi_sleep=s4_nonvs to the feature removal file).

nconfig segfaults when help text contains the character '%'. For a quick example, navigate to the kernel compression options and get the help for bzip2. Doing so triggers a call to mvwprintw() with a string containing '%' and no extra arguments to fill in the specifier's value. Fix this case by printing the literal string retrieved from the kconfig. #0 0x00002b52b6b11d83 in vfprintf () from /lib/libc.so.6 #1 0x00002b52b6bad010 in __vsnprintf_chk () from /lib/libc.so.6 #2 0x00002b52b623991b in _nc_printf_string () from /lib/libncursesw.so.5 #3 0x00002b52b6234cff in vwprintw () from /lib/libncursesw.so.5 #4 0x00002b52b6234db9 in mvwprintw () from /lib/libncursesw.so.5 #5 0x00000000004151d8 in fill_window (win=0x21b64c0, text=0x21b62b0 "CONFIG_KERNEL_BZIP2:\n\nIts compression ratio and speed is intermediate.\nDecompression speed is slowest among the three.

The .data..init_task output section was missing a load offset causing a popwerpc target to fail to boot. Sean MacLennan tracked it down to the definition of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION(). There are only two users of INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() in the kernel today: cris and popwerpc. cris do not support relocatable kernels and is thus not impacted by this change. Fix INIT_TASK_DATA_SECTION() to specify load offset like all other output sections.

Oooops... we missed these. We incorrectly converted strings used when parsing the device-tree on pseries, thus breaking access to drconf memory and hotplug memory. While at it, also revert some variable names that represent something the FW calls "lmb" and thus don't need to be converted to "memblock".

There's a couple of nasty bugs lurking in our huge page hashing code. First, we don't check the access permission atomically with setting the _PAGE_BUSY bit, which means that the PTE value we end up using for the hashing might be different than the one we have checked the access permissions for. We've seen cases where that leads us to try to use an invalidated PTE for hashing, causing all sort of "interesting" issues. Then, we also failed to set _PAGE_DIRTY on a write access. Finally, a minor tweak but we should return 0 when we find the PTE busy, in order to just re-execute the access, rather than 1 which means going to do_page_fault().

Instead of adding _PAGE_PRESENT to the access permission mask in each low level routine independently, we add it once from hash_page(). We also move the preliminary access check (the racy one before the PTE is locked) up so it applies to the huge page case. This duplicates code in __hash_page_huge() which we'll remove in a subsequent patch to fix a race in there. Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

Anton Blanchard authored
If the hypervisor gives us an error on a hugepage insert we panic. The normal page code already handles this by returning an error instead and we end calling low_hash_fault which will just kill the task if possible. The patch below does a similar thing for the hugepage case. Signed-off-by: Anton Blanchard <anton@samba.org> Signed-off-by: Benjamin Herrenschmidt <benh@kernel.crashing.org>

processor.bm_check_disable=1" prevents Linux from checking BM_STS before entering C3-type cpu power states. This may be useful for a system running acpi_idle where the BIOS exports FADT C-states, _CST IO C-states, or _CST FFH C-states with the BM_STS bit set; while configuring the chipset to set BM_STS more frequently than perhaps is optimal. Note that such systems may have been developed using a tickful OS that would quickly clear BM_STS, rather than a tickless OS that may go for some time between checking and clearing BM_STS. Note also that an alternative for newer systems is to use the intel_idle driver, which always ignores BM_STS, relying Linux device drivers to register constraints explicitly via PM_QOS. https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15886Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

It turns out that there is a bit in the _CST for Intel FFH C3 that tells the OS if we should be checking BM_STS or not. Linux has been unconditionally checking BM_STS. If the chip-set is configured to enable BM_STS, it can retard or completely prevent entry into deep C-states -- as illustrated by turbostat: http://userweb.kernel.org/~lenb/acpi/utils/pmtools/turbostat/ ref: Intel Processor Vendor-Specific ACPI Interface Specification table 4 "_CST FFH GAS Field Encoding" Bit 1: Set to 1 if OSPM should use Bus Master avoidance for this C-state https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=15886Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

When parsing the objdump disassembly output we can have goto labels that are valid hex numbers and thus get confused with lines with machine code. Handle the common case of a label that has nothing after it and other cases where there is just source code by validating the resulting "ip". It is still possible that we find goto labels that are in the function address range, but only if they are located before the real address we should be OK. A change in the objdump output to have a clear marker separating addresses from the disassembly would come handy, but we would still have to deal with older versions.

Fix the security problem in the CIFS filesystem DNS lookup code in which a malicious redirect could be installed by a random user by simply adding a result record into one of their keyrings with add_key() and then invoking a CIFS CFS lookup [CVE-2010-2524]. This is done by creating an internal keyring specifically for the caching of DNS lookups. To enforce the use of this keyring, the module init routine creates a set of override credentials with the keyring installed as the thread keyring and instructs request_key() to only install lookup result keys in that keyring. The override is then applied around the call to request_key(). This has some additional benefits when a kernel service uses this module to request a key: (1) The result keys are owned by root, not the user that caused the lookup. (2) The result keys don't pop up in the user's keyrings. (3) The result keys don't come out of the quota of the user that caused the lookup. The keyring can be viewed as root by doing cat /proc/keys: 2a0ca6c3 I----- 1 perm 1f030000 0 0 keyring .dns_resolver: 1/4 It can then be listed with 'keyctl list' by root. # keyctl list 0x2a0ca6c3 1 key in keyring: 726766307: --alswrv 0 0 dns_resolver: foo.bar.com Signed-off-by: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com> Reviewed-and-Tested-by: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com> Acked-by: Steve French <smfrench@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

In the CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALL fast-path for x86 64-bit system calls, we can pass a bad return value and/or error indication for the system call to audit_syscall_exit(). This happens when TIF_NEED_RESCHED was set as the system call returned, so we went out to schedule() and came back to the exit-audit fast-path. The fix is to reload the user return value register from the pt_regs before using it for audit_syscall_exit(). Both the 32-bit kernel's fast path and the 64-bit kernel's 32-bit system call fast paths work slightly differently, so that they always leave the fast path entirely to reschedule and don't return there, so they don't have the analogous bugs.
