      [PATCH] net/socket.c memory leak fix · 7ae28d31
      Robert Love authored
      The always-appreciated Stanford Checker found a memory leak in
      net/socket.c :: sock_fasync.  It was a bit tricky since the memory was
      only conditionally allocated, so must only conditionally be freed.

      [PATCH] yenta_socket driver PCI irq routing fix · b533e812
      Peter Chubb authored
      	This patch  fixes the Compaq WL210 problems I've been having.
      
      The symptoms were that no interupts were ever received from the card;
      the BIOS reported it had assigned INTA to IRQ 10; but the yenta
      driver reported IRQ 17.
      
      The fix is not to rely on the BIOS's initialisation of interrupt
      routing in the TI1410, but to do it explicitly.
      
      This may break laptops that actually use the parallel ISA IRQ
      mechanism.

      [PATCH] CONFIG_ISA for several driver dirs · 8f73c6a8
      Andi Kleen authored
      Many old ISA drivers are not 64bit clean. To avoid dealing with them on
      x86-64 I guarded them with CONFIG_ISA. This is also helpful for other
      archs (including modern x86) that do not have ISA slots anymore.
      The patch has been reviewed by Linux-Kernel, with some additional
      cleanups by me. It misses some directories like ISDN or sound drivers.

      [PATCH] i386 stack frame security fix · bc404e79
      Andi Kleen authored
      This fixes a potential security issue on i386. FXRSTOR raises an #GP
      when the MXCSR field in the FXSAVE frame contains illegal values. By
      putting an signal frame just at a border to an unmapped page a malicious
      user could potentially cause an exception in the context switch using this.
      When the EFAULT occurs in the last bytes of the signal frame the MXCSR
      check would be skipped in the old code, but the rogue value would be already
      in task_struct, causing problems later.
      
      Here is the minimal fix for this.
      
      Originally discovered by Andrea while doing x86-64 work. It was fixed in
      a different way a bit more intrusive way on x86-64 - all FXRSTOR in the
      kernel are guarded by exception handlers.

      [PATCH] i386 mptable cpu name decoding cleanup · 9edd824d
      Andi Kleen authored
      It's nearly impossible to get the correct CPU names for AMD CPUs in
      the MP table (would need BIOS calls etc.). The decoding of CPU names form
      the mptable doesn't look too useful anyways, because the correct CPU name
      from CPUID is printed only a few lines later. This patch just removes
      the name table and replaces it with a printout of the hex value.
      This mirrors a change in x86-64

      for a long time and it doesn't look likely it'll change anytime soon.
      Also David/Alexey are doing a fine job without me.

      [PATCH] 2.5.21 x86-64 jumbo patch - arch specific changes · e4b9e2aa
      Andi Kleen authored
      Here is the big 2.5.21 x86-64 sync patch. It only touches arch/x86_64
      and include/asm-x86_64. It requires a few other changes that I'm sending
      in separate mail.
      
      Changes:
      - merge wit 2.5.21
      - merge from 2.5.21/i386 (new PCI code, new LDT code etc.)
      - sync with 2.4-x86_64 tree.
      - minor updates to 32bit emulation
      - better early console; including serial support.
      - now set up dummy PDA for booting to avoid problems
      - Fix GS reloading in context switch one instruction race
      - Remove hardcoded names from mpparse code
      - Fix inline assembly for RAID-5 xor (similar change needed for i386)
      - Real per cpu data support based on PDA field
      - Cleanup of offset.c generation requested by Kai: it only puts structure
        offsets into offset.h now.
      - Fix i387 fxsave signal frame problems.
      - Add uname emulation via personality ("linux32")
      - New SSE optimized checksum-copy, copy*user, memcpy, clear_page, copy_page
        functions. Other tunings/cleanups in checksum and other user memory
        access function.
      - check if exception table is really sorted
      - Cleanups in page table handling in preparation of non executable pages
        support.
      - Cleanup PDA access to not require offset.h (thanks to kai for kicking me
        to this)
      - use long long for u64/s64 to avoid more warnings
      - remove CONFIG_ISA
      - fix various bugs and other cleanups

      that.

      explicitly set by drivers).

      block_device in question and switched to passing it.
