2005-05-20	[PATCH] x86_64: Don't allow accesses below register frame in ptrace	Andi Kleen
	There was a "off by one quad word" error in there. I don't think it is exploitable because it will only store into a unused area, but better to plug it.

2005-05-17	[PATCH] x86_64: Fix canonical checking for segment registers in ptrace	Andi Kleen
	Allowed user programs to set a non canonical segment base, which would cause oopses in the kernel later. Credit-to: Alexander Nyberg <alexn@dsv.su.se> For identifying and reporting this bug.

2005-05-03	[AUDIT] Log correct syscall args for i386 processes on x86_64	David Woodhouse
	The i386 syscall ABI uses different registers. Log those instead of the x86_64 ones. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>

2005-05-01	[PATCH] convert that currently tests _NSIG directly to use valid_signal()	Jesper Juhl
	Convert most of the current code that uses _NSIG directly to instead use valid_signal(). This avoids gcc -W warnings and off-by-one errors. Signed-off-by: Jesper Juhl <juhl-lkml@dif.dk> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-29	[AUDIT] Don't allow ptrace to fool auditing, log arch of audited syscalls.
	We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments, but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that. While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made, because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall. Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register rather than only returning a single register. Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'. Signed-off-by: David Woodhouse <dwmw2@infradead.org>
2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: Handle programs that set TF in user space using popf while ↵	Andi Kleen
	single stepping Ported from i386/Linus Still won't handle other TF changing instructions like IRET or LAHF. Prefix handling must be double checked... Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen <ak@suse.de> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
2005-04-16	[PATCH] x86_64: clean up ptrace single-stepping	Andi Kleen
	Ported from i386 (originally from Linus) clean up ptrace single-stepping, make PT_DTRACE exact. (This makes the naming of "DTRACE" purely historical, since on x86 it now means "single step in progress").

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
