Currently cpuset_exit() changes the exiting task's ->cpuset pointer w/o taking task_lock(). This can lead to ugly races between attach_task and cpuset_exit. Details of the races are described at http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/3/24/132. Patch below closes those races. Signed-off-by:

I was playing with some code that sometimes got a string where a %n match should have been done where the input string ended, for example like this: sscanf("abc123", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* doesn't work */ sscanf("abc123a", "abc%d%n", &a, &n); /* works */ However, the scanf function in the kernel doesn't convert the %n in that case because it has already matched the complete input after %d and just completely stops matching then. This patch fixes that. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: cleanups] Signed-off-by:Johannes Berg <johannes@sipsolutions.net> Signed-off-by:

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place) arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

While researching the tty layer pid leaks I found a weird case in selinux when we drop a controlling tty because of inadequate permissions we don't do the normal hangup processing. Which is a problem if it happens the session leader has exec'd something that can no longer access the tty. We already have code in the kernel to handle this case in the form of the TIOCNOTTY ioctl. So this patch factors out a helper function that is the essence of that ioctl and calls it from the selinux code. This removes the inconsistency in handling dropping of a controlling tty and who knows it might even make some part of user space happy because it received a SIGHUP it was expecting. In addition since this removes the last user of proc_set_tty outside of tty_io.c proc_set_tty is made static and removed from tty.h Signed-off-by:

This patch should contain no functional changes. At some point I got confused and thought put_pid could not be called while a spin lock was held. While it may be nice to avoid that to reduce lock hold times put_pid can be safely called while we hold a spin lock. This patch removes all of the complications from the code introduced by my misunderstanding, making the code a little more readable. Signed-off-by:

The console subsystem already has an idea of a boot console, using the CON_BOOT flag. The implementation has some flaws though. The major problem is that presence of a boot console makes register_console() ignore any other console devices (unless explicitly specified on the kernel command line). This patch fixes the console selection code to *not* consider a boot console a full-featured one, so the first non-boot console registering will become the default console instead. This way the unregister call for the boot console in the register_console() function actually triggers and the handover from the boot console to the real console device works smoothly. Added a printk for the handover, so you know which console device the output goes to when the boot console stops printing messages. The disable_early_printk() call is obsolete with that patch, explicitly disabling the early console isn't needed any more as it works automagically with that patch. I've walked through the tree, dropped all disable_early_printk() instances found below arch/ and tagged the consoles with CON_BOOT if needed. The code is tested on x86, sh (thanks to Paul) and mips (thanks to Ralf). Changes to last version: Rediffed against -rc3, adapted to mips cleanups by Ralf, fixed "udbg-immortal" cmd line arg on powerpc. Signed-off-by:

The jsm driver doesn't currently use the uart_handle_*_change helper functions, which are the obvious place for things like linuxpps to tie into (which it now does of course), and as a result the jsm driver can not be used with linuxpps and anything else that ties into the serial_core helper functions. This patch adds calls to these helper functions whenever the value they manage changes. That actual storage of the state is not modified since the jsm driver caches the current settings (The 8250 driver reads them everytime a user asks for the state), and only updates them whenever they change.

The jsm driver fails when you try to use the TIOCSSERIAL ioctl. The reason is that the driver never sets uart_port.uartclk, causing the data received using TIOCGSERIAL to not match the internal state of the driver. This patch fixes this problem by settings the uartclk to the value used by the serial_core (16 times the baud base). Signed-off-by:

At least on x86_64 the present cyclades.h is broken due to the wrong size of uclong. This affects, of course, both the kernel and the user-level utilities. The symptom is that cyzload refuses to load the firmware. I also managed to freeze the machine when unloading the module. The patch below fixes this in an architecture-independent way. I have tested it with 2.6.19 and the driver works fine again with a Cyclades-Z on an Athlon 64 X2. [akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix warnings] Signed-off-by:

1) Introduces a new method in 'struct dentry_operations'. This method called d_dname() might be called from d_path() to build a pathname for special filesystems. It is called without locks. Future patches (if we succeed in having one common dentry for all pipes/sockets) may need to change prototype of this method, but we now use : char *d_dname(struct dentry *dentry, char *buffer, int buflen); 2) Adds a dynamic_dname() helper function that eases d_dname() implementations 3) Defines d_dname method for sockets : No more sprintf() at socket creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/... 4) Defines d_dname method for pipes : No more sprintf() at pipe creation. This is delayed up to the moment someone does an access to /proc/pid/fd/...

The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues: - maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any kind of ASLR protection from local attackers. - maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid()) process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150) - a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents. This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob /proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to the procfs documentation.
