2.6.16 broke /proc/devices. An application often gets an
EOF before the end of data is reached, if that application
uses a series of short read(2)s to access the data. I have
used read buffers of varying sizes with varying degrees
of unsuccess (larger sizes get further into the data than
smaller sizes, following a simple pattern). It appears
that the only safe way to get the data is to use a single
read buffer larger than all the data in /proc/devices.
The following example demonstates the problem:
# dd if=/proc/devices bs=1
Character devices:
1 mem

[PATCH] dm flush queue EINTR
If dm_suspend() is cancelled, bios already added to the deferred list need to

Before removing a snapshot, wait for the completion of any kcopyd jobs using
it.
Do this by maintaining a count (nr_jobs) of how many outstanding jobs each
kcopyd_client has.
The snapshot destructor first unregisters the snapshot so that no new kcopyd
jobs (created by writes to the origin) will reference that particular
snapshot. kcopyd_client_destroy() is now run next to wait for the completion
of any outstanding jobs before the snapshot exception structures (that those
jobs reference) are freed.

Thanks to Brian Baker @ HP for test case and initial analysis.
I can reproduce by running 'get-edid' from:
http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/read-edid/.
These messages come about in the log b/c the vm86 calls do not exit via
the normal system call exit paths and thus do not call
'audit_syscall_exit'. The next system call will then free the context for
itself and for the vm86 context, thus generating the above messages. This
patch addresses the issue by simply adding a call to 'audit_syscall_exit'
from the vm86 code.
Besides fixing the above error messages the patch also now allows vm86
system calls to become auditable. This is useful since strace does not
appear to properly record the return values from sys_vm86.
I think this patch is also a step in the right direction in terms of
cleaning up some core auditing code. If we can correct any other paths
that do not properly call the audit exit and entries points, then we can
also eliminate the notion of context chaining.
I've tested this patch by verifying that the log messages no longer
appear, and that the audit records for sys_vm86 appear to be correct.
Also, 'read_edid' produces itentical output.

[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes (CVE-2006-1056)
AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE
when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through context
switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction state of
other processes.
This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as being
different from Intel before.
The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally calling
FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip it when not
needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to clear FOP/FIP/FDP.
This means other processes always will only see a constant value defined
by the kernel in their FP state.
I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already in L1
during context switch to make the overhead of this low.
Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs who don't
need it.
Patch for both i386/x86-64.

[PATCH] shmat: stop mprotect from giving write permission to a readonly attachment (CVE-2006-1524)
I found that all of 2.4 and 2.6 have been letting mprotect give write
permission to a readonly attachment of shared memory, whether or not IPC
would give the caller that permission.
SUS says "The behaviour of this function [mprotect] is unspecified if the
mapping was not established by a call to mmap", but I don't think we can
interpret that as allowing it to subvert IPC permissions.
I haven't tried 2.2, but the 2.2.26 source looks like it gets it right; and
the patch below reproduces that behaviour - mprotect cannot be used to add
write permission to a shared memory segment attached readonly.
This patch is simple, and I'm sure it's what we should have done in 2.4.0:
if you want to go on to switch write permission on and off with mprotect,
just don't attach the segment readonly in the first place.
However, we could have accumulated apps which attach readonly (even though
they would be permitted to attach read/write), and which subsequently use
mprotect to switch write permission on and off: it's not unreasonable.
I was going to add a second ipcperms check in do_shmat, to check for
writable when readonly, and if not writable find_vma and clear VM_MAYWRITE.
But security_ipc_permission might do auditing, and it seems wrong to
report an attempt for write permission when there has been none. Or we
could flag the vma as SHM, note the shmid or shp in vm_private_data, and
then get mprotect to check.
But the patch below is a lot simpler: I'd rather stick with it, if we can
convince ourselves somehow that it'll be safe.
If Classical IP over ATM module is loaded, its neighbor table gets
populated when permanent neighbor entries are created; but these entries
are not flushed when the device is removed. Since the entry never gets
flushed the unregister of the network device never completes.
This version of the patch also adds locking around the reference to
the atm arp daemon to avoid races with events and daemon state changes.

[PATCH] Incorrect signature sent on SMB Read
Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147
For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the
wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request. The new cifs routine
to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike
the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use
SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older
cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures.
This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers
of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures.
Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in
the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change
to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled
will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory).
Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not

that as well).

[PATCH] RLIMIT_CPU: fix handling of a zero limit
At present the kernel doesn't honour an attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU to zero
seconds. But the spec says it should, and that's what 2.4.x does.
Fixing this for real would involve some complexity (such as adding a new
it-has-been-set flag to the task_struct, and testing that everwhere, instead
of overloading the value of it_prof_expires).
Given that a 2.4 kernel won't actually send the signal until one second has
expired anyway, let's just handle this case by treating the caller's
zero-seconds as one second.
I've encountered two problems with 2.6.16 and newer kernels on my API CS20
(dual 833MHz Alpha 21264b processors). The first is the kernel OOPSing
because of a NULL pointer dereference while trying to populate SysFS with the
CPU information. The other is that only one processor was being brought up.
I've included a small Alpha-specific patch that fixes both problems.
The first problem was caused by the CPUs never being properly registered using
register_cpu(), the way it's done on other architectures.
The second problem has to do with the removal of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask in
arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c. In setup_smp() in the 2.6.15 kernel sources,
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask has a bit set for each processor that is probed, and
afterwards cpu_present_mask is set to the cpumask for the boot CPU. In the
same function of the same file in the 2.6.16 sources, instead of
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask being set, cpu_possible_map is updated for each probed
CPU. cpu_present_mask is still set to the cpumask of the boot CPU afterwards.
The problem lies in include/asm-alpha/smp.h, where cpu_possible_map is
#define'd to be cpu_present_mask.
Cleanups from: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>
- cpu_present_mask and cpu_possible_map are essentially the same thing
on alpha, as it doesn't support CPU hotplug;
- allocate "struct cpu" only for present CPUs, like sparc64 does.
Static array of "struct cpu" is just a waste of memory.

This patch fixes a boot problem of the m32r SMP kernel 2.6.16-rc1-mm3 or
later.
In this patch, cpu_possible_map is statically initialized, and cpu_present_map
is also copied from cpu_possible_map in smp_prepare_cpus(), because the m32r
architecture has not supported CPU hotplug yet.
[PATCH] m32r: security fix of {get, put}_user macros
Update {get,put}_user macros for m32r kernel.
- Modify get_user to use __get_user_asm macro, instead of __get_user_x macro.
- Remove arch/m32r/lib/{get,put}user.S.
- Some cosmetic updates.
I would like to thank NIIBE Yutaka for his reporting about the m32r kernel's
security problem in {get,put}_user macros.
There were no address checking for user space access in {get,put}_user macros.

[PATCH] NETFILTER: Fix fragmentation issues with bridge netfilter
[NETFILTER]: Fix fragmentation issues with bridge netfilter
The conntrack code doesn't do re-fragmentation of defragmented packets
anymore but relies on fragmentation in the IP layer. Purely bridged
packets don't pass through the IP layer, so the bridge netfilter code
needs to take care of fragmentation itself.

[PATCH] MPBL0010 driver sysfs permissions wide open
The MPBL0010 Telco clock driver (drivers/char/tlclk.c) uses 0222 (anyone
can write) permissions on its writable sysfs entries. Alter the
permissions to 0220 (owner and group can write).
The use case for this driver is to configure the fail over behavior of the
clock hardware. That should be done by the more privileged users.

[PATCH] powerpc: fix incorrect SA_ONSTACK behaviour for 64-bit processes
*) When setting a sighandler using sigaction() call, if the flag
SA_ONSTACK is set and no alternate stack is provided via sigaltstack(),
the kernel still try to install the alternate stack. This behavior is
the opposite of the one which is documented in Single Unix
Specifications V3.
*) Also when setting an alternate stack using sigaltstack() with the
flag SS_DISABLE, the kernel try to install the alternate stack on
signal delivery.
These two use cases makes the process crash at signal delivery.
[PATCH] powerpc: iSeries needs slb_initialize to be called
Since the powerpc 64k pages patch went in, systems that have SLBs
(like Power4 iSeries) needed to have slb_initialize called to set up
some variables for the SLB miss handler. This was not being called
on the boot processor on iSeries, so on single cpu iSeries machines,
we would get apparent memory curruption as soon as we entered user mode.
This patch fixes that by calling slb_initialize on the boot cpu if the
processor has an SLB.

The exception is reported in the SYSRET, not the next instruction.
Thgis leads to the kernel exception handler running on the user stack
with the wrong GS because the kernel didn't expect exceptions on this
instruction.
This version of the patch has the teething problems that plagued an
earlier version fixed.
This is CVE-2006-0744

[PATCH] knfsd: Correct reserved reply space for read requests.
NFSd makes sure there is enough space to hold the maximum possible reply
before accepting a request. The units for this maximum is (4byte) words.
However in three places, particularly for read request, the number given is
a number of bytes.
This means too much space is reserved which is slightly wasteful.
This is the sort of patch that could uncover a deeper bug, and it is not
critical, so it would be best for it to spend a while in -mm before going

[PATCH] USB: EHCI full speed ISO bugfixes
This patch replaces the split ISO raw_mask calculation code in the
iso_stream_init() function that computed incorrect numbers of high
speed transactions for both input and output transfers.
In the output case, it added a superfluous start-split transaction for
all maxmimum packet sizes that are a multiple of 188.
In the input case, it forgot to add complete-split transactions for all
microframes covered by the full speed transaction, and the additional
complete-split transaction needed for the case when full speed data
starts arriving near the end of a microframe.
These changes don't affect the lack of full speed bandwidth, but at
least it removes the MMF errors that the HC raised with some input
streams.
