      [PATCH] [PPC64] make compat filldir/getdents check for errors · 5bbb000c
      Anton Blanchard authored
      filldir and getdents should check return values of put_user etc. The
      generic code has been fixed but the ppc64 compat versions have not.

      [PATCH] consolidate compat_sys_mount · 27da3461
      Matthew Wilcox authored
      This replaces six duplicated implementations of various quality of
      sys32_mount with a shiny new compat_sys_mount().
      
      It's been tested on parisc64 and sparc64 and fixes a bug exposed by the
      latest revision of Debian's initscripts.  Thanks to Arnd Bergmann and
      Dave Miller for their suggestions, fixes and testing.  Please apply.

      [PATCH] Remove <asm/setup.h> from cmdlinepart.c · 5d6e3d87
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
      
      Remove include of <asm/setup.h> from cmdlinepart.c.  This is not be needed
      for i386 (it builds fine with this patch), and ia64 doesn't supply a
      setup.h.
      
      asm/setup.h contains a hodge-podge of stuff with no real
      consistency between architectures.  It appears to be
      included mainly by arch-specific drivers:
      	acsi (Atari disks)
      	amiflop (Amiga floppy)
      	z2ram (ZorroII ram disk)
      	amiserial (Amiga serial)
      	...
      and under arch-specific #ifdefs:
      	fbcon (under __mc68000__ or CONFIG_APUS)
      	fonts (ditto)
      	logo (CONFIG_M68K)
      	...

      [PATCH] Fix uninitialized data in EFI RTC /proc interface · 589df808
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Bjorn Helgaas <bjorn.helgaas@hp.com>
      
      The problem is that we don't clear out the efi_time_t buffer before asking
      EFI to fill it in.  EFI doesn't always write the entire buffer (in
      particular, the alarm time only supports one second resolution, so the
      nanosecond field is often untouched).
      
      The effect is that 'cat /proc/driver/efirtc' shows garbage in the
      nanoseconds part of the alarm time, and sometimes artifacts like bogus
      alarm date and junk after the actual end of the text.

      [PATCH] selinux: check return value for receive node permission · 735c736e
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: James Morris <jmorris@redhat.com>
      
      This patch fixes a bug where the return value for a permission call is not 
      checked.
      
      The bug was introduced when I added some code in the following changeset:
      
      <http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/diffs/security/selinux/hooks.c@1.19?nav=index.html|src/|src/security|src/security/selinux|hist/security/selinux/hooks.c>
      
      Code was added after this line:
      
      	err = avc_has_perm(isec->sid, node_sid, SECCLASS_NODE, node_perm, NULL, &ad);
      
      without adding an explicit check of 'err', which was previously returned
      from the function rather than being checked.  i.e. it would drop through
      to:
      
      	out:	
       		return err;
      
       	}
      
      With the new code added, err can (and typically would) be overwritten with 
      a successful value, causing the permission check to not deny permission if 
      needed.  The intended denial would have been logged.
      
      The patch below fixes this problem.

      [PATCH] adjuct cpu_khz in response to cpufreq changes · e9c7ac4a
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: john stultz <johnstul@us.ibm.com>
      
      This patch ensures that cpu_khz is adjusted on cpufreq notifications even
      when the tsc timesource is not in use.  It fixes the mostly cosmetic issue
      when using the ACPI PM timesource of /proc/cpuinfo not being properly
      updated when cpu frequency was lowered.

      [PATCH] s390: system call speedup part 2. · a9ffde7e

      [PATCH] s390: system call speedup part 1. · 42aef4b0
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
      
      The purpose of this is to speed up system calls on s390.  I managed to
      squeeze about 65 cycles from each system call.  This improved e.g.  getpid()
      from 232 to 157 cycles.  As a nice side-effect it simplified the uaccess
      functions considerably.

      s390 tape driver changes:
       - Prevent offline while device is in use.
       - Do not use bus_id string in debug feature messages.
       - Check for IS_ERR(irb) error conditions in interrupt handler.
       - Fix removing tape discipline modules.

      [PATCH] s390: network driver. · 0dc80d7c
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
      
      s390 network driver changes:
       - ctc/lcs/qeth: prevent a ccw-device to be grouped multiple times.
       - icuv: clear correct field in iucv_register_program if no userid is specified.
       - lcs: fix online/offline cycle again.
       - lcs: fix ungrouping of lcs group device. The channels of the lcs card
         should be offline afterwards.
       - lcs: don't do netif_stop_queue if no tx buffer is available, just
         return -EBUSY and drop the packets.

      [PATCH] s390: dasd driver. · 8fea2343
      Andrew Morton authored
      From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
      
      dasd device driver changes:
       - After a state change interrupt restart all running i/o on queue
         and reset device timer.
       - Improve some debug messages.
       - Lower timeout of reserve/release/steal_lock to 2 seconds.
       - Fix BIODASDPSRD ioctl.
       - Replace ro_flag, use_diag_flag and disconnect_error_flag words by bits.
       - Use BLKPG_DEL_PARTITION ioctl instead of a call to delete_partition because
         delete_partition is not an exported function. Since dasd_destroy_partitions
         can't do blkdev_get because dasd_open would fail, keep the block device
         open as long as partitions exist. This in turn requires a different
         approach to the open vs. offline race.

      [PATCH] s390: core fixes. · d2ca1196

      From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
      
      s390 core changes:
       - Fix return type of some system call functions (long vs. int).
       - Fix prototypes for compat system call handlers.
       - Correct some bugs in the compat system call wrappers.
       - Fix broken pointer arithmetic which causes problems with
         gcc 3.4 and -march=z990
       - Remove unnecessary #ifndef & optimize inline assemblies in spinlock.h.
       - Improve handling of deferred condition code 1.
       - New default configuration.

      [PATCH] Fix cyclades async driver timeout miscalculation · fbd033be
      Marcelo Tosatti authored
      This fixes a problem where cy_wait_until_sent() miscalculates (calculate
      -1 on a unsigned long) the "char_time" parameter passed to
      schedule_timeout().
      
      Fix that by making it a signed long, and checking for negative value.

      [PATCH] Emulate deviceless bridge ioctls · 44fbe3d2
      Andi Kleen authored
      This helps vmware users running vmware on x86-64 - vmnet tries to set up a bridge.
      Emulate these ioctls. The bridge has more ioctls on its bridge device, but these
      don't seem to be needed here.
