2009-02-08radeonfb: Fix resume from D3Cold on some platformsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
For historical reason, this driver used its own saving/restoring of the PCI config space, and used the state of it on resume as an indication as to whether it needed to re-POST the chip or not. This methods breaks with the later core changes since the core will have restored things for us. This patch fixes it by removing that custom code, using standard core methods to save/restore state, and testing for the need to re-POST by comparing the content of a few key PLL registers.

2009-02-08aty128fb: Properly save PCI state before changing PCI PM levelBenjamin Herrenschmidt
This fixes aty128fb to properly save the PCI config space -before- it potentially switches the PM state of the chip. This avoids a warning with the new PM core and is the right thing to do anyway. I also replaced the hand-coded switch to D2 with a call to the genericc pci_set_power_state() and removed the code that switches it back to D0 since the generic code is doing that for us nowadays.

This fixes atyfb to properly save the PCI config space -before- it potentially switches the PM state of the chip. This avoids a warning with the new PM core and is the right thing to do anyway. I also slightly cleaned up the code that checks whether we are running on a PowerMac to do a runtime check instead of a compile check only, and replaced a deprecated number with the proper symbolic constant. Finally, I removed the useless switch to D0 from resume since the core does it for us.

2009-02-07ACPICA: Fix table entry truncation calculationMyron Stowe
During early boot, ACPI RSDT/XSDT table entries are gathered into the 'initial_tables[]' array. This array is currently statically defined (see ./drivers/acpi/tables.c). When there are more table entries than can be held in the 'initial_tables[]' array, the message "Truncating N table entries!" is output. As currently implemented, this message will always erroneously calculate N as 0. This patch fixes the calculation that determines how many table entries will be missing (truncated). This modification may be used under either the GPL or the BSD-style license used for Intel ACPI CA code.

2009-02-07ACPI: Enable bit 11 in _PDC to advertise hw coordPallipadi, Venkatesh
Bit 11 in intel PDC definitions is meant for OS capability to handle hardware coordination of P-states. In Linux we have always supported hwardware coordination of P-states. Just let the BIOSes know that we support it, by setting this bit. Some BIOSes use this bit to choose between hardware or software coordination and without this change below, BIOSes switch to software coordination, which is not very optimal in terms of power consumption and extra wakeups from idle.

2009-02-06ACPI: dock: Don't eval _STA on every show_docked sysfs readHolger Macht
Some devices trigger a DEVICE_CHECK on every evalutation of _STA. This can also be seen in commit 8b59560a3baf2e7c24e0fb92ea5d09eca92805db (ACPI: dock: avoid check _STA method). If an undock is processed, the dock driver sends a uevent and userspace might read the show_docked property in sysfs. This causes an evaluation of _STA of the particular device which causes the dock driver to immediately dock again. In any case, evaluation of _STA (show_docked) does not necessarily mean that we are docked, so check with the internal device structure. http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12360 Signed-off-by: Holger Macht <hmacht@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Len Brown <len.brown@intel.com>

2009-02-06eCryptfs: Regression in unencrypted filename symlinksTyler Hicks
The addition of filename encryption caused a regression in unencrypted filename symlink support. ecryptfs_copy_filename() is used when dealing with unencrypted filenames and it reported that the new, copied filename was a character longer than it should have been. This caused the return value of readlink() to count the NULL byte of the symlink target. Most applications don't care about the extra NULL byte, but a version control system (bzr) helped in discovering the bug.

2009-02-06x86-64: fix int $0x80 -ENOSYS returnRoland McGrath
One of my past fixes to this code introduced a different new bug. When using 32-bit "int $0x80" entry for a bogus syscall number, the return value is not correctly set to -ENOSYS. This only happens when neither syscall-audit nor syscall tracing is enabled (i.e., never seen if auditd ever started). Test program: /* gcc -o int80-badsys -m32 -g int80-badsys.c Run on x86-64 kernel. Note to reproduce the bug you need auditd never to have started. */ #include <errno.h> #include <stdio.h> int main (void) { long res; asm ("int $0x80" : "=a" (res) : "0" (99999)); printf ("bad syscall returns %ld\n", res); return res != -ENOSYS; } The fix makes the int $0x80 path match the sysenter and syscall paths.

2009-02-06elf core dump: fix get_user useRoland McGrath
The elf_core_dump() code does its work with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in force, so vma_dump_size() needs to switch back with set_fs(USER_DS) to safely use get_user() for a normal user-space address. Checking for VM_READ optimizes out the case where get_user() would fail anyway. The vm_file check here was already superfluous given the control flow earlier in the function, so that is a cleanup/optimization unrelated to other changes but an obvious and trivial one.

2009-02-07CRED: Fix SUID exec regressionDavid Howells
The patch: commit a6f76f23d297f70e2a6b3ec607f7aeeea9e37e8d CRED: Make execve() take advantage of copy-on-write credentials moved the place in which the 'safeness' of a SUID/SGID exec was performed to before de_thread() was called. This means that LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE is now calculated incorrectly. This flag is set if any of the usage counts for fs_struct, files_struct and sighand_struct are greater than 1 at the time the determination is made. All of which are true for threads created by the pthread library. However, since we wish to make the security calculation before irrevocably damaging the process so that we can return it an error code in the case where we decide we want to reject the exec request on this basis, we have to make the determination before calling de_thread(). So, instead, we count up the number of threads (CLONE_THREAD) that are sharing our fs_struct (CLONE_FS), files_struct (CLONE_FILES) and sighand_structs (CLONE_SIGHAND/CLONE_THREAD) with us. These will be killed by de_thread() and so can be discounted by check_unsafe_exec(). We do have to be careful because CLONE_THREAD does not imply FS or FILES. We _assume_ that there will be no extra references to these structs held by the threads we're going to kill. This can be tested with the attached pair of programs. Build the two programs using the Makefile supplied, and run ./test1 as a non-root user. If successful, you should see something like: [dhowells@andromeda tmp]$ ./test1 --TEST1-- uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043 exec ./test2 --TEST2-- uid=4043, euid=0 suid=0 SUCCESS - Correct effective user ID and if unsuccessful, something like: [dhowells@andromeda tmp]$ ./test1 --TEST1-- uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043 exec ./test2 --TEST2-- uid=4043, euid=4043 suid=4043 ERROR - Incorrect effective user ID!

2009-02-06vfs: Don't call attach_nobh_buffers() with an empty listDave Kleikamp
This is a modification of a patch by Bill Pemberton <wfp5p@virginia.edu> nobh_write_end() could call attach_nobh_buffers() with head == NULL. This would result in a trap when attach_nobh_buffers() attempted to access bh->b_this_page. This can be illustrated by running the writev01 testcase from LTP on jfs. This error was introduced by commit 5b41e74a "vfs: fix data leak in nobh_write_end()". That patch did not take into account that if PageMappedToDisk() is true upon entry to nobh_write_begin(), then no buffers will be allocated for the page. In that case, we won't have to worry about a failed write leaving unitialized data in the page. Of course, head != NULL implies !page_has_buffers(page), so no need to test both.

2009-02-06sound: usb-audio: handle wMaxPacketSize for FIXED_ENDPOINT devicesClemens Ladisch
For audio devices that do not have proper audio descriptors (e.g., Edirol UA-20), we use hardcoded parameters from our quirks list. However, we must still read the maximum packet size from the standard endpoint descriptor; otherwise, we might use packets that are too big and therefore rejected by the USB core.

2009-02-06md: Ensure an md array never has too many devices.NeilBrown
Each different metadata format supported by md supports a different maximum number of devices. We really should be enforcing this maximum in the kernel, but we aren't quite doing that properly. We currently only enforce it at the 'hot_add' point, which is an older interface which is not used by current userspace. We need to also enforce it at 'add_new_disk' time for active arrays and at 'do_md_run' time when starting a new array. So move the test from 'hot_add' into 'bind_rdev_to_array' which is called from both 'hot_add' and 'add_new_disk, and add a new test in 'analyse_sbs' which is called from 'do_md_run'. This bug (or missing feature) has been around "forever" and so the patch is suitable for any -stable that is currently maintained. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
2009-02-06md: Fix a bug in linear.c causing which_dev() to return the wrong device.Andre Noll
ab5bd5cbc8d4b868378d062eed3d4240930fbb86 introduced the following bug in linear software raid for large arrays on 32 bit machines: which_dev() computes the device holding a given sector by shifting down the sector number to a 32 bit range, dividing by the array spacing and looking up the resulting index in the hash table of the array. Because the computed index might be slightly too small, a loop at the end of which_dev() increases the index until the given sector actually falls into the range of the device associated with that index. The changes of the above mentioned commit caused this loop to check whether the _index_ rather than the sector number is small enough, effectively bypassing the loop and thus possibly returning the wrong device. As reported by Simon Kirby, this leads to errors such as linear_make_request: Sector 2340486136 out of bounds on dev sdi: 156301312 sectors, offset 2109870464 Fix this bug by introducing a local variable for the index so that the variable containing the passed sector is left unchanged.

2009-02-06md: Allow read error in a single drive raid1 to be passed up.NeilBrown
If a raid1 only has a single working device and gets a read error, we choose to simply return that error up to the filesystem (or whatever) rather than failing the whole array. However the codes doesn't quite do that. We attempt a readbalance which allocates the same drive, so we retry the read - indefinitely. Instead: If read_balance in the error case chooses the same drive that just failed, treat it as a failure and don't retry. Signed-off-by: NeilBrown <neilb@suse.de>
