This adds two sysfs attributes to /sys/bus/ibmebus which can be used to
notify the ebus driver of added / removed ebus devices in the OF device

Echoing the device's location code (as found in the OFDT "ibm,loc-code"
property) into the "probe" attribute will notify ebus of addition of the
device and cause the appropriate device driver's probe function to be called
on the device.
Likewise, echoing the location code into the "remove" attribute will cause
the device to be removed from the system.
The writes will block until the respective operation has finished and return
an error code if the operation failed.
In addition, two minor tidbits are fixed:
- The fake root device used to provide a common parent for all ebus devices
is now based on device instead of of_device - it had no associated devtree
node. This saves several checks throughout the ebus driver.
- The sysfs attributes are now generated automagically by device_register()
instead of by the ibmebus code, which saves a few compiler warnings about

[POWERPC] zImage: Cleanup and improve zImage entry point
This patch re-organises the way the zImage wrapper code is entered, to
allow more flexibility on platforms with unusual entry conditions.
After this patch, a platform .o file has two options:
1) It can define a _zimage_start, in which case the platform code gets
control from the very beginning of execution. In this case the
platform code is responsible for relocating the zImage if necessary,
clearing the BSS, performing any platform specific initialization, and
finally calling start() to load and enter the kernel.
2) It can define platform_init(). In this case the generic crt0.S
handles initial entry, and calls platform_init() before calling
start(). The signature of platform_init() is changed, however, to
take up to 5 parameters (in r3..r7) as they come from the platform's
initial loader, instead of a fixed set of parameters based on OF's
usage.
When using the generic crt0.S, the platform .o can optionally
supply a custom stack to use, using the BSS_STACK() macro. If this
is not supplied, the crt0.S will assume that the loader has
supplied a usable stack.
In either case, the platform code communicates information to the
generic code (specifically, a PROM pointer for OF systems, and/or an
initrd image address supplied by the bootloader) via a global
structure "loader_info".
In addition the wrapper script is rearranged to ensure that the
platform .o is always linked first. This means that platforms where
the zImage entry point is at a fixed address or offset, rather than
being encoded in the binary header can be supported using option (1).

location, instead of always.
- By default we decompress the kernel directly to address 0,
instead of requiring it to relocate itself. Platforms (such as OF)

[POWERPC] zImage: Add more flexible gunzip convenience functions
At present, arch/powerpc/boot/main.c includes a gunzip() function
which is a convenient wrapper around zlib. However, it doesn't
conveniently allow decompressing part of an image to one location,
then the remainder to a different address.
This patch adds a new set of more flexible convenience wrappers around
zlib, moving them to their own file, gunzip_util.c, in the process.
These wrappers allow decompressing sections of the compressed image to
different locations. In addition, they transparently handle
uncompressed data, avoiding special case code to handle uncompressed
vmlinux images.
The patch also converts main.c to use the new wrappers, using the new
flexibility to avoid decompressing the vmlinux's ELF header twice as
we did previously. That in turn means we avoid extending our
allocations for the vmlinux to allow space for the extra copy of the

[PATCH] Fix buffer overflow in Omnikey CardMan 4040 driver (CVE-2007-0005)
Based on a patch from Don Howard <dhoward@redhat.com>
When calling write() with a buffer larger than 512 bytes, the
driver's write buffer overflows, allowing to overwrite the EIP and
execute arbitrary code with kernel privileges.
In read(), there exists a similar problem, but coming from the device.
A malicous or buggy device sending more than 512 bytes can overflow
of the driver's read buffer, with the same effects as above.
sysfs_write_file downs buffer->sem while calling flush_write_buffer, and
flushing that particular write buffer entails downing buffer->sem in
orphan_all_buffers, resulting in the obvious self-deadlock.

[IA64] kexec: Use EFI_LOADER_DATA for ELF core header
The address where the ELF core header is stored is passed to the secondary
kernel as a kernel command line option. The memory area for this header is
also marked as a separate EFI memory descriptor on ia64.
The separate EFI memory descriptor is at the moment of the type
EFI_UNUSABLE_MEMORY. With such a type the secondary kernel skips over the
entire memory granule (config option, 16M or 64M) when detecting memory.
If we are lucky we will just lose some memory, but if we happen to have
data in the same granule (such as an initramfs image), then this data will
never get mapped and the kernel bombs out when trying to access it.
So this is an attempt to fix this by changing the EFI memory descriptor
type into EFI_LOADER_DATA. This type is the same type used for the kernel
data and for initramfs. In the secondary kernel we then handle the ELF
core header data the same way as we handle the initramfs image.
This patch contains the kernel changes to make this happen. Pretty
straightforward, we reserve the area in reserve_memory(). The address for
the area comes from the kernel command line and the size comes from the
specialized EFI parsing function vmcore_find_descriptor_size().
The kexec-tools-testing code for this can be found here:

[IA64] permon use-after-free fix
Perfmon associates vmalloc()ed memory with a file descriptor, and installs
a vma mapping that memory. Unfortunately, the vm_file field is not filled
in, so processes with mappings to that memory do not prevent the file from
being closed and the memory freed. This results in use-after-free bugs and
multiple freeing of pages, etc.
I saw this bug on an Altix on SLES9. Haven't reproduced upstream but it
looks like the same issue is there.
