From 2030c0fd3db3332378f95f479c286181e3920644 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Michael Kerrisk Date: Fri, 16 Sep 2005 19:28:02 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] PR_GET_DUMPABLE returns incorrect info 2.6.13 incorporated Alan Cox's patch for /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable (one version of this patch can be found here http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ). This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was modified from 0..1 to 0..2. However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.

Biederman" Date: Thu, 22 Sep 2005 21:43:45 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] reboot: comment and factor the main reboot functions In the lead up to 2.6.13 I fixed a large number of reboot problems by making the calling conventions consistent. Despite checking and double checking my work it appears I missed an obvious one. This first patch simply refactors the reboot routines so all of the preparation for various kinds of reboots are in their own functions. Making it very hard to get the various kinds of reboot out of sync. Signed-off-by: Eric W.
