Impact: intermittent guest segv/crash fix I've been seeing random guest bad address crashes and segmentation faults: bisect led to 4f98a2fe (vmscan: split LRU lists into anon & file sets), but that's a red herring. It turns out that lguest never hooked up the pte_update/pte_update_defer calls, so our ptes were not always in sync. After the vmscan commit, the bug became reproducible; now a fsck in a 64MB guest causes reproducible pagetable corruption.

Impact: cleanup Roel Kluin drew attention to these macros with his patch: here I neaten them a little further: 1) Add a comment on what START_USE and END_USE are checking, 2) Brackets around _vq in BAD_RING, 3) Neaten formatting for START_USE so it's less than 80 cols.

Annotate struct fs_struct's usage count to indicate the restrictions upon it. It may not be incremented, except by clone(CLONE_FS), as this affects the check in check_unsafe_exec() in fs/exec.c.

Hugh Dickins authored
check_unsafe_exec() also notes whether the fs_struct is being shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid. But /proc/<pid>/cwd and /proc/<pid>/root lookups make transient use of get_fs_struct(), which also raises that sharing count. This might occasionally cause a setuid program not to change euid, in the same way as happened with files->count (check_unsafe_exec also looks at sighand->count, but /proc doesn't raise that one). We'd prefer exec not to unshare fs_struct: so fix this in procfs, replacing get_fs_struct() by get_fs_path(), which does path_get while still holding task_lock, instead of raising fs->count.

Joe Malicki reports that setuid sometimes doesn't: very rarely, a setuid root program does not get root euid; and, by the way, they have a health check running lsof every few minutes. Right, check_unsafe_exec() notes whether the files_struct is being shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid. But /proc/<pid>/fd and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo lookups make transient use of get_files_struct(), which also raises that sharing count. There's a rather simple fix for this: exec's check on files->count has been redundant ever since 2.6.1 made it unshare_files() (except while compat_do_execve() omitted to do so) - just remove that check. [Note to -stable: this patch will not apply before 2.6.29: earlier releases should just remove the files->count line from unsafe_exec().] Reported-by: Joe Malicki <jmalicki@metacarta.com> Narrowed-down-by: Michael Itz <mitz@metacarta.com> Tested-by: Joe Malicki <jmalicki@metacarta.com> Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins <hugh@veritas.com> Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

2.6.26's commit fd8328be "sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()" moved the unshare_files() from flush_old_exec() and several binfmts to the head of do_execve(); but forgot to make the same change to compat_do_execve(), leaving a CLONE_FILES files_struct shared across exec from a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel. It's arguable whether the files_struct really ought to be unshared across exec; but 2.6.1 made that so to stop the loading binary's fd leaking into other threads, and a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel ought to behave in the same way as 32 on 32 and 64 on 64.

i2c_adapter.timeout is in jiffies. Fix all drivers which thought otherwise. It didn't really matter as long as the value was only used inside the driver, but soon i2c-core will use it too so it must have the proper unit. Note: for the i2c-mpc driver, this fixes a bug in polling mode. Timeout would trigger after 1 jiffy, which is most probably not what the author wanted.

Setting a default timeout value on a per-algo basis doesn't make any sense. Move the default value setting to i2c-core. Individual adapter drivers can specify a different (non-zero) value if they wish. Also express the timeout value in a way which results in the same duration regarless of the value of HZ.
