Fix VMLINUZ_LOAD_ADDRESS calculation to be based on the length of vmlinux.bin, the actual uncompressed kernel binary. Previously it was based on the length of KBUILD_IMAGE (the unstripped ELF vmlinux), which is bigger than vmlinux.bin. As a result, vmlinuz was loaded into a memory address higher then actually needed - a problem for small memory platforms.

The function prom_init_cmdline() references the variable __initdata arcs_cmdline. The function prom_get_ethernet_addr() references the variable __initdata arcs_cmdline. Annotate prom_init_cmdline() as __init, unexport and annotate prom_get_ethernet_addr() since it's no longer called from within driver code.

Commit 31c984a5 introduced a new syscall getdents64. However, in the syscall table, the new syscall still refers to the old getdents which doesn't work. The problem appeared with a system that uses the eglibc 2.12-r11187 (that utilizes that new syscall) is very confused. The fix has been tested with that eglibc version.

This only matters for ISA devices with a 24-bit DMA limit or for devices with a 32-bit DMA limit on systems with ZONE_DMA32 enabled. The latter currently only affects 32-bit PCI cards on Sibyte-based systems with more than 1GB RAM installed. Signed-off-by: Ralf Baechle <ralf@linux-mips.org>

_TIF_WORK_MASK false had _TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT set. If a thread's _TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT is ever set this will lead to an endless loop on the way out from a syscall.

flush_icache_range() is given virtual addresses to describe the region. It deals with these by attempting to translate them through the current set of page tables. This is fine for userspace memory and vmalloc()'d areas as they are governed by page tables. However, since the regions above 0x80000000 aren't translated through the page tables by the MMU, the kernel doesn't bother to set up page tables for them (see paging_init()). This means flush_icache_range() as it stands cannot be used to flush regions of the VM area between 0x80000000 and 0x9fffffff where the kernel resides if the data cache is operating in WriteBack mode. To fix this, make flush_icache_range() first check for addresses in the upper half of VM space and deal with them appropriately, before dealing with any range in the page table mapped area. Ordinarily, this is not a problem, but it has the capacity to make kprobes and kgdb malfunction. It should not affect gdbstub, signal frame setup or module loading as gdb has its own flush functions, and the others take place in the page table mapped area only.

I moved couple years ago, so let's update my email and snail mail. And I do not have any access to Matrox hardware anymore, and I'm quite unresponsive to matroxfb bug reports (sorry Alan), so saying that I'm maintainer is a bit far fetched. For ncpfs I do not use ncpfs in my daily life either, but at least I can test that one, so I can stay listed here for odd fixes.

If the original list is a POT in length, the first callback from line 73 will pass a==b both pointing to the original list_head. This is dangerous because the 'list_sort()' user can use 'container_of()' and accesses the "containing" object, which does not necessary exist for the list head. So the user can access RAM which does not belong to him. If this is a write access, we can end up with memory corruption.

The semctl syscall has several code paths that lead to the leakage of uninitialized kernel stack memory (namely the IPC_INFO, SEM_INFO, IPC_STAT, and SEM_STAT commands) during the use of the older, obsolete version of the semid_ds struct. The copy_semid_to_user() function declares a semid_ds struct on the stack and copies it back to the user without initializing or zeroing the "sem_base", "sem_pending", "sem_pending_last", and "undo" pointers, allowing the leakage of 16 bytes of kernel stack memory. The code is still reachable on 32-bit systems - when calling semctl() newer glibc's automatically OR the IPC command with the IPC_64 flag, but invoking the syscall directly allows users to use the older versions of the struct.

The kfifo_dma family of functions use sg_mark_end() on the last element in their scatterlist. This forces use of a fresh scatterlist for each DMA operation, which makes recycling a single scatterlist impossible. Change the behavior of the kfifo_dma functions to match the usage of the dma_map_sg function. This means that users must respect the returned nents value. The sample code is updated to reflect the change. This bug is trivial to cause: call kfifo_dma_in_prepare() such that it prepares a scatterlist with a single entry comprising the whole fifo. This is the case when you map the entirety of a newly created empty fifo. This causes the setup_sgl() function to mark the first scatterlist entry as the end of the chain, no matter what comes after it. Afterwards, add and remove some data from the fifo such that another call to kfifo_dma_in_prepare() will create two scatterlist entries. It returns nents=2. However, due to the previous sg_mark_end() call, sg_is_last() will now return true for the first scatterlist element. This causes the sample code to print a single scatterlist element when it should print two. By removing the call to sg_mark_end(), we make the API as similar as possible to the DMA mapping API. All users are required to respect the returned nents. Signed-off-by: Ira W.

cifs_reconnect_tcon is called from smb_init. After a successful reconnect, cifs_reconnect_tcon will call reset_cifs_unix_caps. That function will, in turn call CIFSSMBQFSUnixInfo and CIFSSMBSetFSUnixInfo. Those functions also call smb_init. It's possible for the session and tcon reconnect to succeed, and then for another cifs_reconnect to occur before CIFSSMBQFSUnixInfo or CIFSSMBSetFSUnixInfo to be called. That'll cause those functions to call smb_init and cifs_reconnect_tcon again, ad infinitum... Break the infinite recursion by having those functions use a new smb_init variant that doesn't attempt to perform a reconnect.
