2008-08-01[PATCH] Fix the bug of using AUDIT_STATUS_RATE_LIMIT when set fail, no error ↵zhangxiliang
output. When the "status_get->mask" is "AUDIT_STATUS_RATE_LIMIT || AUDIT_STATUS_BACKLOG_LIMIT". If "audit_set_rate_limit" fails and "audit_set_backlog_limit" succeeds, the "err" value will be greater than or equal to 0. It will miss the failure of rate set.

2008-08-01[PATCH] Fix the kernel panic of audit_filter_task when key field is setzhangxiliang
When calling audit_filter_task(), it calls audit_filter_rules() with audit_context is NULL. If the key field is set, the result in audit_filter_rules() will be set to 1 and ctx->filterkey will be set to key. But the ctx is NULL in this condition, so kernel will panic.

2008-08-01kernel/audit.c control character detection is off-by-oneVesa-Matti J Kari
Hello, According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the function: audit_string_contains_control() in: kernel/audit.c Patch is included. I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via call path: avc_audit() audit_log_untrustedstring() audit_log_n_untrustedstring() audit_string_contains_control() If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not detected. I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

2008-08-01[PATCH] Audit: Collect signal info when SIGUSR2 is sent to auditdEric Paris
Makes the kernel audit subsystem collect information about the sending process when that process sends SIGUSR2 to the userspace audit daemon. SIGUSR2 is a new interesting signal to auditd telling auditd that it should try to start logging to disk again and the error condition which caused it to stop logging to disk (usually out of space) has been rectified.

2008-08-01[PATCH 1/2] proc: fix inode number bogorithmeticAlexey Dobriyan
Id which proc gets from IDR for inode number and id which proc removes from IDR do not match. E.g. 0x11a transforms into 0x8000011a. Which stayed unnoticed for a long time because, surprise, idr_remove() masks out that high bit before doing anything. All of this due to "| ~MAX_ID_MASK" in release_inode_number(). I still don't understand how it's supposed to work, because "| ~MASK" is not an inversion for "& MAX" operation. So, use just one nice, working addition. Make start offset unsigned int, while I'm at it. It's longness is not used anywhere. Signed-off-by: Alexey Dobriyan <adobriyan@gmail.com> Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

2008-08-01[S390] Optimize storage key operations for anon pagesMartin Schwidefsky
For anonymous pages without a swap cache backing the check in page_remove_rmap for the physical dirty bit in page_remove_rmap is unnecessary. The instructions that are used to check and reset the dirty bit are expensive. Removing the check noticably speeds up process exit. In addition the clearing of the dirty bit in __SetPageUptodate is pointless as well. With these two changes there is no storage key operation for an anonymous page anymore if it does not hit the swap space. The micro benchmark which repeatedly executes an empty shell script gets about 5% faster. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

This fails with rc = 0x102, if the system has been ipled from the HMC using load from CD or load from file. In the case of rc = 0x102 we have to assume that diag 308 is working, since it still can be used to ipl from an alternative device.

2008-08-01kgdb: fix gdb serial thread queriesJason Wessel
The command "info threads" did not work correctly with kgdb. It would result in a silent kernel hang if used. This patach addresses several problems. - Fix use of deprecated NR_CPUS - Fix kgdb to not walk linearly through the pid space - Correctly implement shadow pids - Change the threads per query to a #define - Fix kgdb_hex2long to work with negated values The threads 0 and -1 are reserved to represent the current task. That means that CPU 0 will start with a shadow thread id of -2, and CPU 1 will have a shadow thread id of -3, etc... From the debugger you can switch to a shadow thread to see what one of the other cpus was doing, however it is not possible to execute run control operations on any other cpu execept the cpu executing the kgdb_handle_exception().

2008-08-01kgdb: fix kgdb_validate_break_address to perform a mem writeJason Wessel
A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option. When this option is on, a breakpoint cannot be written into any readonly memory page. When an external debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check. This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break point. If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the debugger behaves correctly. Then an end user can make the descision to use hardware breakpoints. Also update the documentation to reflect that using CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints. Signed-off-by: Jason Wessel <jason.wessel@windriver.com>
