2006-07-14[PATCH] hdrinstall: remove asm/io.h from user visibilityDavid Woodhouse
There's no excuse for userspace abusing this kernel header -- the kernel's headers are not intended to provide a library of helper routines for userspace. Using <asm/io.h> from userspace is broken on most architectures anyway. Just say 'no'.

2006-07-14[PATCH] hdrinstall: remove asm/atomic.h from user visibilityDavid Woodhouse
This isn't suitable for userspace to see -- the kernel headers are not a random library of stuff for userspace; they're only there to define the kernel<->user ABI for system libraries and tools. Anything which _was_ abusing asm/atomic.h from userspace was probably broken anyway -- as it often didn't even give atomic operation.

2006-07-14[PATCH] null-terminate over-long /proc/kallsyms symbolsAndreas Gruenbacher
Got a customer bug report (https://bugzilla.novell.com/190296) about kernel symbols longer than 127 characters which end up in a string buffer that is not NULL terminated, leading to garbage in /proc/kallsyms. Using strlcpy prevents this from happening, even though such symbols still won't come out right. A better fix would be to not use a fixed-size buffer, but it's probably not worth the trouble. (Modversion'ed symbols even have a length limit of 60.)

2006-07-14[PATCH] i386: remove redundant might_sleep() in user accessors.Vadim Lobanov
On i386, the user space accessor functions copy_from/to_user() both invoke might_sleep(), do a quick sanity check, and then pass the work on to their __copy_from/to_user() counterparts, which again invoke might_sleep(). Given that no actual work happens between these two calls, it is best to eliminate one of the redundant might_sleep()s.

2006-07-14[PATCH] i386 kexec: allow the kexec on panic support to compile on voyagerEric W. Biederman
This patch removes the foolish assumption that SMP implied local apics. That assumption is not-true on the Voyager subarch. This makes that dependency explicit, and allows the code to build. What gets disabled is just an optimization to get better crash dumps so the support should work if there is a kernel that will initialization on the voyager subarch under those harsh conditions. Hopefully we can figure out how to initialize apics in init_IRQ and remove the need to disable io_apics and this dependency. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2006-07-14[PATCH] ia64: race flushing icache in COW pathAnil Keshavamurthy
There is a race condition that showed up in a threaded JIT environment. The situation is that a process with a JIT code page forks, so the page is marked read-only, then some threads are created in the child. One of the threads attempts to add a new code block to the JIT page, so a copy-on-write fault is taken, and the kernel allocates a new page, copies the data, installs the new pte, and then calls lazy_mmu_prot_update() to flush caches to make sure that the icache and dcache are in sync. Unfortunately, the other thread runs right after the new pte is installed, but before the caches have been flushed. It tries to execute some old JIT code that was already in this page, but it sees some garbage in the i-cache from the previous users of the new physical page. Fix: we must make the caches consistent before installing the pte. This is an ia64 only fix because lazy_mmu_prot_update() is a no-op on all other architectures.

2006-07-13[NET]: Update frag_list in pskb_trimHerbert Xu
When pskb_trim has to defer to ___pksb_trim to trim the frag_list part of the packet, the frag_list is not updated to reflect the trimming. This will usually work fine until you hit something that uses the packet length or tail from the frag_list. Examples include esp_output and ip_fragment. Another problem caused by this is that you can end up with a linear packet with a frag_list attached. It is possible to get away with this if we audit everything to make sure that they always consult skb->len before going down onto frag_list. In fact we can do the samething for the paged part as well to avoid copying the data area of the skb. For now though, let's do the conservative fix and update frag_list. Many thanks to Marco Berizzi for helping me to track down this bug. This 4-year old bug took 3 months to track down. Marco was very patient indeed :) Signed-off-by: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au> Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
