8c4335a87c [PATCH] Altix snsc: duplicate kobject fix
from: Greg Howard <ghoward@sgi.com>

Fix Altix system controller (snsc) device names to include the slot number
of the blade whose associated system controller is the target of the device
interface.  Including the slot number avoids a problem we're currently
having where slots within the same enclosure are attempting to create
multiple kobjects with identical names.

5b20192727 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix a race in the free_iommu path
We do this by removing a micro-optimization that tries to avoid grabbing
the iommu_bitmap_lock spinlock and using a bus-locked operation.

This still races with other simultaneous alloc_iommu or free_iommu(size >
1) which both use bus-unlocked operations.

The end result of this race is eventually ending up with an
iommu_gart_bitmap that has bits errornously set all over, making large
contiguous iommu space allocations fail with 'PCI-DMA: Out of IOMMU space'.

ddbe3eec59 [PATCH] x86_64: Pass -32 to the assembler when compiling the 32bit vsyscall pages
This quietens warnings and actually fixes a bug.  The unwind tables would
come out wrong without -32, causing pthread cancellation during them to
crash in the gcc runtime.

The problem seems to only happen with newer binutils (it doesn't happen
with 2.16.91.0.2 but happens wit 2.16.91.0.5)

Thanks to David Altobelli <david.altobelli@hp.com> and Brian Baker

304dbdb7a4 [PATCH] add migratepage address space op to shmem
Basic problem: pages of a shared memory segment can only be migrated once.

In 2.6.16 through 2.6.17-rc1, shared memory mappings do not have a
migratepage address space op.  Therefore, migrate_pages() falls back to
default processing.  In this path, it will try to pageout() dirty pages.
Once a shared memory page has been migrated it becomes dirty, so
migrate_pages() will try to page it out.  However, because the page count
is 3 [cache + current + pte], pageout() will return PAGE_KEEP because
is_page_cache_freeable() returns false.  This will abort all subsequent
migrations.

This patch adds a migratepage address space op to shared memory segments to
avoid taking the default path.  We use the "migrate_page()" function
because it knows how to migrate dirty pages.  This allows shared memory
segment pages to migrate, subject to other conditions such as # pte's
referencing the page [page_mapcount(page)], when requested.

I think this is safe.  If we're migrating a shared memory page, then we
found the page via a page table, so it must be in memory.

Can be verified with memtoy and the shmem-mbind-test script, both
available at:  http://free.linux.hp.com/~lts/Tools/

73a8881454 [PATCH] isdn4linux: Siemens Gigaset base driver: fix disconnect handling
Fix a possible Oops in the Siemens Gigaset base driver when the device is
unplugged while an ISDN connection is still active, and makes sure that the
isdn4linux link level (LL) is properly informed if a connection is broken
by the USB cable being unplugged.

- Avoid unsafe checks of URB status fields outside the URB completion
  handlers, keep track of in-use URBs myself instead.

- If an isochronous transfer URB completes with status==0, also check the
  status of the frame descriptors.

- Verify length of interrupt messages received from the device.

- Align the length limit on transmitted AT commands with the device
  documentation.

- In case of AT response receive overrun, keep newly arrived instead of old
  unread data.

- Remove redundant check of device ID in the USB probe function.

- Correct and improve some comments and formatting.

036999d501 [ARM] for_each_possible_cpu
for_each_cpu() actually iterates across all possible CPUs.  We've had mistakes
in the past where people were using for_each_cpu() where they should have been
iterating across only online or present CPUs.  This is inefficient and
possibly buggy.

We're renaming for_each_cpu() to for_each_possible_cpu() to avoid this in the
future.

This patch replaces for_each_cpu with for_each_possible_cpu.

6cc1b65886 [ARM] 3480/1: ixp4xx: fix irq2gpio array type
Patch from Lennert Buytenhek

The irq2gpio array was recently converted from an array of ints to an
array of chars (by patch 3368/1.)  However, this array contains elements
that are -1, and on ARM, the char type is unsigned by default, so this
patch broke the GPIO check in ixp4xx_set_irq_type.

Change the 'char' to be a 'signed char' to fix this.

18bd057b14 [PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes
AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending.  This means the value leak through
context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction
state of other processes.

This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as
being different from Intel before.

The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally
calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip
it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to
clear FOP/FIP/FDP.

This means other processes always will only see a constant value
defined by the kernel in their FP state.

I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already
in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low.

Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs
who don't need it.

Patch for both i386/x86-64.

The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard
Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution
from Jan.

This is CVE-2006-1056

This fixes a hang in mpu401_uart.c that can occur when the mpu401 interface
is non-existent or otherwise doesn't respond to commands but we issue IO
anyway.  snd_mpu401_uart_cmd now returns an error code that is passed up
the stack so that an open() will fail immediately in such cases.

Eventually discovered after wine/cxoffice would constantly cause hard
lockups on my desktop immediately after loading (emulating Windows too
well).  Turned out that I'd recently moved my sound cards around and using
/dev/sequencer now talks to a sound card with a broken MPU.

This second version changes -EFAULT to -EIO and frees open resources on
error too.  Test booted and seems to work ok.

The BIOS of the Tecra M2 doesn't like it when it has to reboot or resume

4f73247f0e [PATCH] block/elevator.c: remove unused exports
This patch removes the following unused EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
- elv_requeue_request
- elv_completed_request

They are only used by the block core, hence they need not be exported.

73af994c7d [PATCH] Document online io scheduler switching
We added the ability to change a block device's IO elevator scheduler both
at kernel boot and on-the-fly, but we only documented the elevator= boot
parameter.  Add a quick how-to on doing it on the fly.

dc6de33674 [NET]: Add skb->truesize assertion checking.
Add some sanity checking.  truesize should be at least sizeof(struct
sk_buff) plus the current packet length.  If not, then truesize is
seriously mangled and deserves a kernel log message.

Currently we'll do the check for release of stream socket buffers.

But we can add checks to more spots over time.

Incorporating ideas from Herbert Xu.

b60b49ea6a [TCP]: Account skb overhead in tcp_fragment
Make sure that we get the full sizeof(struct sk_buff)
plus the data size accounted for in skb->truesize.

This will create invariants that will allow adding
assertion checks on skb->truesize.

5185db09f4 [LLC]: Use pskb_trim_rcsum() in llc_fixup_skb().
Kernel Bugzilla #6409

If we use plain skb_trim(), that's wrong, because if
the SKB is cloned, and it can be because we unshared
it in the caller, we have to allow reallocation.  The
pskb_trim*() family of routines is therefore the most
appropriate here.

any user can read the encryption keys. The fix is trivial and should
go in 2.6.17 alonside the two other patch I sent you last week.

"get_swencryption" private calls. Patch is against 2.6.17-rc1.
