==== diff-ve-ipt-redirect-20060316 ====

==== diff-ms-tty-lockup-20060302 ====
<div class="change">
Patch from mainstream, prepared by Pavel:

A lockup can occur in tty driver:
receive_chars() is calld with port.lock held and calls via file.work.func this:
fluch_to_ldisc
n_tty_receive_chars
uart_flush_chars
uart_start,
which tries to lock port again...

This is a part from http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.6/cset@1.1938.356.2.

And a lost hunk from
diff-ms-tty-lockup-20050207 patch taken from mainstream also.

The first patch goes in mainstream before the second, so that's
why we've dropped hunk from the 2nd...

==== diff-ve-devbase-cleanup-20060302 ====

Remove visible_dev_tail and prepare_netdev.

==== diff-fairsched-tune-sysctl-20060302 ====
<div class="change">Patch from Kirill (dev@), fixed by Pavel:

and adds some sysctls to tune vsched VCPU affinity
and PCPU&lt;-&gt;VCPU affinity.

==== diff-ms-early-intel-workarounds ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
[PATCH] i386: Move phys_proc_id/early intel workaround to correct function

early_cpu_detect only runs on the BP, but this code needs to run
on all CPUs. This will fix problems with the powernow-k8 driver
on dual core systems and general misdetection of AMD dual core.

Looks like a mismerge somewhere. Also add a warning comment.

</div>

==== diff-ms-shmdt-align ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:

[PATCH] shmdt cannot detach not-alined shm segment cleanly.

sys_shmdt() can manage shm segments which are covered by multiple vmas. (This
can happen when a user uses mprotect() after shmat().)

This works well if shm is aligned to PAGE_SIZE, but if not, the last
segment cannot be detached. It is because a comparison in sys_shmdt():

<source lang="c">
(vma->vm_end - addr) < size
addr == return address of shmat()
size == shmsize, argments to shmget()
</source>

size should be aligned to PAGE_SIZE before being compared with vma-&gt;vm_end,
which is aligned.

Here is another fix for a sparse-detected bug: turns out
ptrace_getregs() and ptrace_putregs() did unchecked user-memory
accesses! These were tricky to see, so it's not surprising that they
went unnoticed so far. Fortunately, sparse can detect these
trivially. Patch below should fix the problem, but it's completely
untested (I don't have any testcases for getregs/putregs).

Based on a suggestion by David Mosberger, reworked to fit the current
tree. This survives my stress test which used to break 2.6.9 kernels.
Unlike 2.6.11, the stress test now unwinds to the correct point, so
gdb can get the user space registers.

<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:

[IA64] unwind.c uses wrong unat from switch_stack

unwind.c can read the wrong unat bits from switch_stack.
sw-&gt;caller_unat is the value of ar.unat when the task was blocked.
sw-&gt;ar_unat is the value of ar.unat after doing st8.spill for r4-7.
IOW, ar_unat is caller_unat with 4 bits changed.

unw_access_gr() uses sw-&gt;ar_unat for r4-7 (correct), but it also uses
sw-&gt;ar_unat for other scratch registers (incorrect). sw-&gt;ar_unat
should only be used for r4-7, everything else should use
sw-&gt;caller_unat, unless modified by unwind info. Using sw-&gt;ar_unat
risks picking up the 4 bits that were overwritten when r4-7 were saved.

Also this line is wrong
<source lang="c">
unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_UNAT);
</source>
and should be
<source lang="c">
unw.sw_off[unw.preg_index[UNW_REG_PFS]] = SW(AR_PFS);

[PATCH] x86_64: fix syscall/signal restart bug

Fix a pretty bad bug that caused sometimes signals on x86-64
to be restarted like system calls. This corrupted the RIP and
in general caused undesirable effects.

The problem happens because orig_rax is unsigned on x86-64,
but it originally was signed when the signal code was written.
And the if (orig_rax &gt;= 0) ended up always true.
And gcc didn't warn about this, because the warning is only in
-Wextra.

In 2.4 we still had a cast for it, but somehow it got dropped
in 2.5.

Credit goes to John Slice for tracking it down and Erich Boleyn
for the original fix. All blame to me. I fixed it at another
place too.

[PATCH] x86_64: Fix 32bit system call restart

The test case at
[http://cvs.sourceforge.net/viewcvs.py/posixtest/posixtestsuite/conformance/interfaces/clock_nanosleep/1-5.c 1-5.c]
fails if it runs as a 32bit process on
x86_86 machines.

The root cause is the sub 32bit process fails to restart the syscall after it
is interrupted by a signal.

The syscall number of sys_restart_syscall in table sys_call_table is
__NR_restart_syscall (219) while it's __NR_ia32_restart_syscall
(0) in ia32_sys_call_table. When regs-&gt;rax==(unsigned
long)-ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK, function do_signal doesn't distinguish if
the process is 64bit or 32bit, and always sets restart syscall number
as __NR_restart_syscall (219).

[IA64] Avoid .spillpsp directive in handcoded assembly

Some time ago, GAS was fixed to bring the .spillpsp directive in line
with the Intel assembler manual (there was some disagreement as to
whether or not there is a built-in 16-byte offset). Unfortunately,
there are two places in the kernel where this directive is used in
handwritten assembly files and those of course relied on the "buggy"
behavior. As a result, when using a "fixed" assembler, the kernel
picks up the UNaT bits from the wrong place (off by 16) and randomly
sets NaT bits on the scratch registers. This can be noticed easily by
looking at a coredump and finding various scratch registers with
unexpected NaT values. The patch below fixes this by using the
.spillsp directive instead, which works correctly no matter what
assembler is in use.

[IA64] make exception handler in copy_user more robust

The exception handler in copy user always expects fault occurs only on
user space address and the fall back recovery code is written with that
very assumption in mind. Recent source code inspection revealed that
while it worked splendid and to the expectation under normal circumstances,
It broke down under unexpected condition where some address calculation
might go outside the legal address range the original copy_user was
called for. This patch is to make copy_user exception handler more robust
and to prevent potential memory corruption.

[PATCH] die_if_kernel() can return ({{CVE|2006-0742}})

arch/ia64/kernel/unaligned.c erroneously marked die_if_kernel()
with a "noreturn" attribute ... which is silly (it returns whenever
the argument regs say that the fault happened in user mode, as one
might expect given the "if_kernel" part of its name!). Thanks to
Alan and Gareth for pointing this out.
