The stack allocation in crypt() is bogus as whether tmp_src/tmp_dst is used is determined by factors unrelated to nbytes and src->length/dst->length. Since the condition for whether tmp_src/tmp_dst are used is very complex, let's allocate them always instead of guessing. This fixes a number of weird crashes including those AES crashes that people have been seeing with the 2.4 backport + ipt_conntrack.

This cleans up legacy x86 binary support by introducing a new personality bit: READ_IMPLIES_EXEC, and implements Linus' suggestion to add the PROT_EXEC bit on the two affected syscall entry places, sys_mprotect() and sys_mmap(). If this bit is set then PROT_READ will also add the PROT_EXEC bit - as expected by legacy x86 binaries. The ELF loader will automatically set this bit when it encounters a legacy binary. This approach avoids the problems the previous ->def_flags solution caused. In particular this patch fixes the PROT_NONE problem in a cleaner way (http://lkml.org/lkml/2004/7/12/227), and it should fix the ia64 PROT_EXEC problem reported by David Mosberger. Also, mprotect(PROT_READ) done by legacy binaries will do the right thing as well. the details: - the personality bit is added to the personality mask upon exec(), within the ELF loader, but is not cleared (see the exceptions below). This means that if an environment that already has the bit exec()s a new-style binary it will still get the old behavior. - one exception are setuid/setgid binaries: these will reset the bit - thus local attackers cannot manually set the bit and circumvent NX protection. Legacy setuid binaries will still get the bit through the ELF loader. This gives us maximum flexibility in shaping compatibility environments. - selinux also clears the bit when switching SIDs via exec(). - x86 is the only arch making use of READ_IMPLIES_EXEC currently. Other arches will have the pre-NX-patch protection setup they always had. I have booted an old distro [RH 7.2] and two new PT_GNU_STACK distros [SuSE 9.2 and FC2] on an NX-capable CPU - they work just fine and all the mapping details are right. I've checked the PROT_NONE test-utility as well and it works as expected. I have checked various setuid scenarios as well involving legacy and new-style binaries. an improved setarch utility can be used to set the personality bit manually: http://redhat.com/~mingo/nx-patches/setarch-1.4-3.tar.gz the new '-X' flag does it, e.g.: ./setarch -X linux /bin/cat /proc/self/maps will trigger the old protection layout even on a new distro.

I've tracked down the core issue giving me the oops wrt pmac_zilog. When you have two serial drivers, (e.g. 8250 and PMAC_ZILOG) they both say "I want to reserve X ports starting with major TTY_MAJOR and minor 64". By the time pmac_zilog gets there, the ports it requests are already reserved. Unfortunately, init_pmz() doesn't check for pmz_register() failure, and so it merrily goes on to register the half-initialized pmac_zilog driver with the power management subsystem. This path provides a proper failure path. Also: Restore ppc configs now that I know people use AT Keyboards on CHRP and PReP machines, and the zilog driver is no longer Oops'ing.

For some reason I booted a NUMA and SLAB_DEBUG i386 kernel on a non NUMA 512MB machine. This caused an oops at bootup in change_page_attr. The reason was that highmem_start_start page ended up zero and that triggered the highmem check in change_page_attr when the slab debug code would unmap a kernel mapping. Fix is straightforward: if there is no highmem set highmem_start_page to max_low_pfn+1

This fixes a long standing corruption bug in the x86-64 code. The SMP trampoline would corrupt page 2, which was sometimes used for other data. This corrupted the ioport/iomem list in some cases and causes oopses while read /proc/iomem. Fix is to check the correct location and don't zero it afterwards because it gets reinitialized for the next CPU anyways. Thanks to Alexander Nyberg for tracking it down.

This patch fixes a hard-to-trigger condition, where the inode is on the inode_in_use list while it's state is dirty. In this state dirty pages are not written back in sync() or from kupdate, only from direct page reclaim. And this causes a livelock in balance_dirty_pages after a while. The actual sequence of events required to get into this state is: thread function inode state inode list ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- 1 __sync_single_inode (background) I_DIRTY sb->s_io 1 do_writepages ... I_LOCKED 2 __writeback_single_inode (sync) sleeps I_LOCKED 1 __sync_single_inode (background) finish 0 inode_in_use 2 __writeback_single_inode (sync) wakeup 0 2 __sync_single_inode (sync) 0 2 do_writepages ...

Beginning of iovec cleanups - added two helpers (kernel_{send,recv}msg) that do sock_sendmsg/sock_recvmsg with kvec instead of iovec; basically, they were abstracted from earlier afs patch. They take kvec/length of kvec as separate arguments, do set_fs(), stick kvec into msghdr and call sock_...msg(). The next group of patches will switch network filesystems to use of kvec for kernel data + use of these helpers. Basically, the same thing we'd done for afs.
