The on-disk data structures from AIX are not known, also the filesystem layout is not known. There is a msdos partition signature at the end of the first block, and the kernel recognizes 3 small (and overlapping) partitions. But they are not usable. Maybe the firmware uses it to find the bootloader for AIX, but AIX boots also if the first block is cleared. This is the content of the partition table: # dd if=/dev/sdb count=$(( 4 * 16 )) bs=1 skip=$(( 0x1be )) | xxd 0000000: 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 0000 ................ 0000010: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000 ....A.......8... 0000020: 00ff ffff 41ff ffff 0211 0000 1900 0000 ....A........... 0000030: 80ff ffff 41ff ffff 1b11 0000 381b 0000 ....A.......8... Handle the whole disk as empty disk. This fixes also YaST which compares the output from parted (and formerly fdisk) with /proc/partitions. fdisk recognizes the AIX label since a long time, SuSE has a patch for parted to handle the disk label as unknown. dmesg will look like this: sda: [AIX] unknown partition table Tested on an IBM B50 with AIX V4.3.3.

This teaches dmi_decode() how to decode and save OEM Strings (type 11) DMI information, which is currently discarded silently. Existing code using DMI is not affected. Follows the "System Management BIOS (SMBIOS) Specification" (http://www.dmtf.org/standards/smbios), and also the userspace dmidecode.c code. OEM Strings are the only safe way to identify some hardware, e.g., the ThinkPad embedded controller used by the soon-to-be-submitted tp_smapi driver. This will also let us eliminate the long whitelist in the mainline hdaps driver (in a future patch).

In the "operation does permission checking" model used by fuse, chdir permission is not checked, since there's no chdir method. For this case set a lookup flag, which will be passed to ->permission(), so fuse can distinguish it from permission checks for other operations.

Some filesystems may want to report different values depending on the path within the filesystem, i.e. one mount is actually several filesystems. This can be the case for a network filesystem exported by an unprivileged server (e.g. sshfs). This is now possible, thanks to David Howells "VFS: Permit filesystem to perform statfs with a known root dentry" patch. This change is backward compatible, so no need to change interface version.

Initialize module_subsys earlier (or at least earlier than devices) since it could be used very early in the boot process if kmod loads a module before the device initcalls. Otherwise, kmod will crash in kernel/module.c:mod_sysfs_setup() since the kset in module_subsys is not initialized yet. I only noticed this problem because occasionally, kmod loads the modules for my SCSI and Ethernet adapters very early, during the boot process itself. I don't quite understand why it loads them sometimes and doesn't load them other times. Or who is telling kmod to do so. Can someone explain?

Files supported by fs/proc/base.c, i.e. /proc/<pid>/*, are not capable of meeting the validity checks in ELF load_elf_*() handling because they have no mmap handler which is required by ELF. In order to stop a.out executables being used as part of an exploit attack against /proc-related vulnerabilities, we make a.out executables depend on ->mmap() existing.

In spinlock_debug.c, the spinloops call __delay() on every iteration. Because that is an external function, (jiffies_per_loop * HZ), the loop's iteration limit, gets recomputed every time.
