==== diff-CVE-2005-2709-sysctl-unreg ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
[PATCH] CVE-2005-2709 sysctl unregistration oops
You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file,
then wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in
hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table. Then fill it with pointers to your
function. Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky, you'll get
it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode. So this is at least an Oops and
possibly more. It does depend on an interface going away though, so less of a
security risk than it would otherwise be.
http://www.kernel.org/git/?p=linux/kernel/git/chrisw/linux-2.6.14.y.git;a=commitdiff;h=e4e0411221c7d4f2bd82fa5e21745f927a1bff28
</div>
==== diff-ms-stopmachine-ipi-deadlock ====
<div class="change">Patch from Kirill:<br/>
This patch fixes deadlock of stop_machine() vs. synchronous IPI send.
The problem is that stop_machine() disables interrupts before disabling
preemption on other CPUs. So if another CPU is preempted and then calls
something like flush_tlb_all() it will deadlock with CPU doing stop_machine()
and which can't process IPI due to disabled IRQs.<br/>
I changed stop_machine() to do the same things exactly as it does on
other CPUs, i.e. it should disable preemption first on _all_ CPUs
including itself and only after that disable IRQs.

* do not call yield() in oom_kill() if suicide hapened (lost from 2.4);
<li>oom_kill_counter correct calculations

decrements. this logic was broken before;</li>

==== diff-ms-setmempolicy-20051031 ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
A kernel BUG() is triggered by a call to set_mempolicy()
with a negative first argument.
This is because the mode is declared as an int, and the
validity check doesnt check < 0 values. Alternatively, mode could be
declared as unsigned int or unsigned long.

</div>
==== diff-ms-flock-hotplug-fix-20051114 ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
The patch below fixes an interesting oddity we're seeing with fedora core
development (where we recently started using udev heavily); basically right
now filelock_init() is a module_init(), eg runs late. However that breaks
down because there are earlier /sbin/hotplug callouts, which with udev, do
locking operations. When that happens the kernel oopses because the slabs
for file locks aren't initialized yet.
Solution: initialize this way early. It's only a kmem_cache_create after
all, so can happen early.

==== diff-ve-vpid-alloc-20051118 ====
<div class="change">Patch from Alexey, modified by Kirill:<br/>
[PATCH] vpid allocator was broken<br/>
alloc_pidmap sometimes returned 65536. I understood its logic incorreclty,
apparently pid_max does not mean a strict limit on pid value,
it just prescribes to allocate pid < pid_max, if there is at least one
free value in this range.<br/>
Plus, it was suboptimal because nr_free never reached 0, so if we have
all low pids allocated, it always will scan bitmap.

[PATCH] x86_64: correct copy_user_generic return value when exception

Fix a bug that arch/x86_64/lib/copy_user:copy_user_generic will return a
wrong value when exception happens.<br/>
In the case the address is not 8-byte aligned (i.e. go into
Lbad_alignment), if exception happens in Ls11, %rdx will be wrong number of
copied bytes, then copy_user_generic returns wrong value. It also fixed a
bug of zeroing wrong number of bytes of destination at this situation. (In
Lzero_rest)<br/>

==== diff-ms-dethread-20051117 ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
[PATCH] fix de_thread() vs send_group_sigqueue() race<br/>
When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread calls release_task(leader) before
calling exit_itimers(). If local timer interrupt happens in between, it can oops
in send_group_sigqueue() while taking ->sighand->siglock == NULL.<br/>
However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL,
because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID
case. So it is possible that this task_struct was already freed and we can't
trust p->signal.<br/>
This patch changes de_thread() so that leader released after exit_itimers()
call.<br/>

[PATCH] CVE-2005-2709 sysctl unregistration oops
You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file,
then wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in
hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table. Then fill it with pointers to your
function. Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky, you'll get
it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode. So this is at least an Oops and
possibly more. It does depend on an interface going away though, so less of a
security risk than it would otherwise be.

==== diff-ms-stopmachine-ipi-deadlock ====
<div class="change">Patch from Kirill:<br/>
This patch fixes deadlock of stop_machine() vs. synchronous IPI send.
The problem is that stop_machine() disables interrupts before disabling
preemption on other CPUs. So if another CPU is preempted and then calls
something like flush_tlb_all() it will deadlock with CPU doing stop_machine()
and which can't process IPI due to disabled IRQs.<br/>
I changed stop_machine() to do the same things exactly as it does on
other CPUs, i.e. it should disable preemption first on _all_ CPUs
including itself and only after that disable IRQs.

==== diff-ms-flock-hotplug-fix-20051114 ====
<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
The patch below fixes an interesting oddity we're seeing with fedora core
development (where we recently started using udev heavily); basically right
now filelock_init() is a module_init(), eg runs late. However that breaks
down because there are earlier /sbin/hotplug callouts, which with udev, do
locking operations. When that happens the kernel oopses because the slabs
for file locks aren't initialized yet.
Solution: initialize this way early. It's only a kmem_cache_create after
all, so can happen early.

<div class="change">Patch from Alexey, modified by Kirill:<br/>
[PATCH] vpid allocator was broken<br/>
alloc_pidmap sometimes returned 65536. I understood its logic incorreclty,
apparently pid_max does not mean a strict limit on pid value,
it just prescribes to allocate pid < pid_max, if there is at least one
free value in this range.<br/>
Plus, it was suboptimal because nr_free never reached 0, so if we have
all low pids allocated, it always will scan bitmap.

<div class="change">Patch from mainstream:<br/>
[PATCH] fix de_thread() vs send_group_sigqueue() race<br/>
When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread calls release_task(leader) before
calling exit_itimers(). If local timer interrupt happens in between, it can oops
in send_group_sigqueue() while taking ->sighand->siglock == NULL.<br/>
However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL,
because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID
case. So it is possible that this task_struct was already freed and we can't
trust p->signal.<br/>
This patch changes de_thread() so that leader released after exit_itimers()
call.<br/>
