Joseph Fannin reported that hpet_rtc_interrupt() enables hardirqs
in irq context:

[   25.628000]  [<c014af4e>] trace_hardirqs_on+0xce/0x200
[   25.628000]  [<c036cf21>] _spin_unlock_irq+0x31/0x70

[   25.628000]  [<c01198bb>] hpet_rtc_interrupt+0x21b/0x280

[   25.628000]  [<c0104121>] common_interrupt+0x25/0x2c

the call of rtc_get_rtc_time() is highly suspect. At a minimum we
need the patch below to save/restore hardirq state.

sysfs has a different i_mutex lock order behavior for i_mutex than the
other filesystems; sysfs i_mutex is called in many places with subsystem
locks held.  At the same time, many of the VFS locking rules do not apply
to sysfs at all (cross directory rename for example).  To untangle this
mess (which gives false positives in lockdep), we're giving sysfs inodes
their own class for i_mutex.

Based on a patch from Ernie Petrides

During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core
dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a
core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have
permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk
consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges.

The prctl() system call should never allow to set "dumpable" to the
value 2. Especially not for non-privileged users.

This can be split into three cases:

  1) running as root -- then core dumps will already be done as root,
     and so prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 2) is not useful

  2) running as non-root w/setuid-to-root -- this is the debatable case

  3) running as non-root w/setuid-to-non-root -- then you definitely
     do NOT want "dumpable" to get set to 2 because you have the
     privilege escalation vulnerability

With case #2, the only potential usefulness is for a program that has
designed to run with higher privilege (than the user invoking it) that
wants to be able to create root-owned root-validated core dumps. This
might be useful as a debugging aid, but would only be safe if the program
had done a chdir() to a safe directory.

There is no benefit to a production setuid-to-root utility, because it
shouldn't be dumping core in the first place. If this is true, then the
same debugging aid could also be accomplished with the "suid_dumpable"
sysctl.

* 'for-linus' of git://git390.osdl.marist.edu/pub/scm/linux-2.6:
  [S390] Fix sparse warnings.
  [S390] path grouping and path verifications fixes.
  [S390] xpram module parameter parsing.
  [S390] cpu_relax() is supposed to have barrier() semantics.

  [S390] subchannel register/unregister mutex.

  [S390] __builtin_trap() and gcc version.

This is confirmed to fix a hang due to PCI resource conflicts with
setting up the Cardbus bridge on old laptops with the 440MX chipsets.
Original report by Alessio Sangalli, lspci debugging help by Pekka
Enberg, and trial patch suggested by Daniel Ritz:

  "From the docs available i would _guess_ this thing is really similar
   to the 82443BX/82371AB combination.  at least the SMBus base address
   register is hidden at the very same place (32bit at 0x90 in function
   3 of the "south" brigde)"

The dang thing is largely undocumented, but the patch was corroborated
by Asit Mallick:

  "I am trying to find the register information. 440MX is an integration of
   440BX north-bridge without AGP and PIIX4E (82371EB).  PIIX4 quirk
   should cover the ACPI and SMBus related I/O registers."

and verified to fix the problem by Alessio.

1. Multipath devices for which SetPGID is not supported are not handled well.
   Use NOP ccws for path verification (sans path grouping) when SetPGID is not
   supported.
2. Check for PGIDs already set with SensePGID on _all_ paths (not just the
   first one) and try to find a common one. Moan if no common PGID can be
   found (and use NOP verification). If no PGIDs have been set, use the css
   global PGID (as before). (Rationale: SetPGID will get a command reject if
   the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
   will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be
   savely ignored by the machine check handler (all other actions create
   unsolicited CRWs).

The module parameters for xpram are not or in a wrong way parsed.
The xpram module uses the module_param_array directive with an int
parameter which causes the kernel to automatically parse the passed
numbers. This will cause errors if arguments are omitted or cause
wrong results if arguments have size qualifiers.
Use module_param_array with charp and parse the arguments later.

Currently ia32 binaries behave differently with respect to enabling
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC.  On i386 a binary with the exec_stack flag set is
executed with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabled as well.  The same binary
executes without READ_IMPLIES_EXEC on x86-64.

This causes binaries that work on i386 to fail on x86-64 which goes
somewhat against the whole 32 bit emulation idea.

It has been argued that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC should not be enabled at all
for binaries that have the exec_stack flag.  Which is probably a valid
point.  However until this is clarified I think x86-64 should behave the
same for ia32 binaries as i386.

The following patch brings x86-64 in sync with i386 for ia32 binaries.

Disable lockdep debugging in two situations where the integrity of the
kernel no longer is guaranteed: when oopsing and when hitting a
tainting-condition.  The goal is to not get weird lockdep traces that don't
make sense or are otherwise undebuggable, to not waste time.

Lockdep assumes that the previous state it knows about is valid to operate,
which is why lockdep turns itself off after the first violation it reports,
after that point it can no longer make that assumption.

A kernel oops means that the integrity of the kernel compromised; in
addition anything lockdep would report is of lesser importance than the
oops.

All the tainting conditions are of similar integrity-violating nature and
also make debugging/diagnosing more difficult.
