      parisc: KittyHawk LCD fix · 79a04296
      Guy Martin authored
      K class aka KittyHawk don't have LED support on their LCD. Installing
      HP-UX confirmed this. The current led_wq fills the LCD with black
      characters each time it runs.
      
      The patch prevents the led_wq workqueue and its proc entry to be
      created for KittyHawk machines.
      
      It also increase min_cmd_delay as currently, one character out of two
      is lost when a string is sent to the LCD.

      parisc: convert the rest of the irq handlers to simple/percpu · 51890613
      James Bottomley authored
      The generic conversion eliminates the spurious no_ack and no_end
      routines, converts all the cascaded handlers to handle_simple_irq() and
      makes iosapic use a modified handle_percpu_irq() to become the same as
      the CPU irq's.  This isn't an essential change, but it eliminates the
      mask/unmask overhead of handle_level_irq().

      parisc: fix dino/gsc interrupts · d16cd297
      James Bottomley authored
      The essential problem we're currently having is that dino (and gsc) is a
      cascaded CPU interrupt.  Under the old __do_IRQ() handler, our CPU
      interrupts basically did an ack followed by an end.  In the new scheme,
      we replaced them with level handlers which do a mask, an ack and then an
      unmask (but no end).  Instead, with the renaming of end to eoi, we
      actually want to call the percpu flow handlers, because they actually
      have all the characteristics we want.
      
      This patch does the conversion and gets my C360 booting again.

      do_exit(): make sure that we run with get_fs() == USER_DS · 33dd94ae
      Nelson Elhage authored
      If a user manages to trigger an oops with fs set to KERNEL_DS, fs is not
      otherwise reset before do_exit().  do_exit may later (via mm_release in
      fork.c) do a put_user to a user-controlled address, potentially allowing
      a user to leverage an oops into a controlled write into kernel memory.
      
      This is only triggerable in the presence of another bug, but this
      potentially turns a lot of DoS bugs into privilege escalations, so it's
      worth fixing.  I have proof-of-concept code which uses this bug along
      with CVE-2010-3849 to write a zero to an arbitrary kernel address, so
      I've tested that this is not theoretical.
      
      A more logical place to put this fix might be when we know an oops has
      occurred, before we call do_exit(), but that would involve changing
      every architecture, in multiple places.
      
      Let's just stick it in do_exit instead.
