2010-06-07xen: Add xen_create_contiguous_regionAlex Nixon
A memory region must be physically contiguous in order to be accessed through DMA. This patch adds xen_create_contiguous_region, which ensures a region of contiguous virtual memory is also physically contiguous. Based on Stephen Tweedie's port of the 2.6.18-xen version. Remove contiguous_bitmap[] as it's no longer needed.

2010-06-07xen: Allow unprivileged Xen domains to create iomap pagesAlex Nixon
PV DomU domains are allowed to map hardware MFNs for PCI passthrough, but are not generally allowed to map raw machine pages. In particular, various pieces of code try to map DMI and ACPI tables in the ISA ROM range. We disallow _PAGE_IOMAP for those mappings, so that they are redirected to a set of local zeroed pages we reserve for that purpose.

2010-05-15 MIPS FPU emulator: allow Cause bits of FCSR to be writeable by ctc1Shane McDonald
In the FPU emulator code of the MIPS, the Cause bits of the FCSR register are not currently writeable by the ctc1 instruction. In odd corner cases, this can cause problems. For example, a case existed where a divide-by-zero exception was generated by the FPU, and the signal handler attempted to restore the FPU registers to their state before the exception occurred. In this particular setup, writing the old value to the FCSR register would cause another divide-by-zero exception to occur immediately. The solution is to change the ctc1 instruction emulator code to allow the Cause bits of the FCSR register to be writeable. This is the behaviour of the hardware that the code is emulating. This problem was found by Shane McDonald, but the credit for the fix goes to Kevin Kissell. In Kevin's words: I submit that the bug is indeed in that ctc_op: case of the emulator. The Cause bits (17:12) are supposed to be writable by that instruction, but the CTC1 emulation won't let them be updated by the instruction. I think that actually if you just completely removed lines 387-388 [...] things would work a good deal better. At least, it would be a more accurate emulation of the architecturally defined FPU. If I wanted to be really, really pedantic (which I sometimes do), I'd also protect the reserved bits that aren't necessarily writable.

2010-05-15Fix the regression created by "set S_DEAD on unlink()..." commitAl Viro
1) i_flags simply doesn't work for mount/unlink race prevention; we may have many links to file and rm on one of those obviously shouldn't prevent bind on top of another later on. To fix it right way we need to mark _dentry_ as unsuitable for mounting upon; new flag (DCACHE_CANT_MOUNT) is protected by d_flags and i_mutex on the inode in question. Set it (with dont_mount(dentry)) in unlink/rmdir/etc., check (with cant_mount(dentry)) in places in namespace.c that used to check for S_DEAD. Setting S_DEAD is still needed in places where we used to set it (for directories getting killed), since we rely on it for readdir/rmdir race prevention. 2) rename()/mount() protection has another bogosity - we unhash the target before we'd checked that it's not a mountpoint. Fixed. 3) ancient bogosity in pivot_root() - we locked i_mutex on the right directory, but checked S_DEAD on the different (and wrong) one. Noticed and fixed.

Do not blindly access extended configuration space unless we actively know we're on a Moorestown platform. The fixed-size BAR capability lives in the extended configuration space, and thus is not applicable if the configuration space isn't appropriately sized. This fixes booting certain VMware configurations with CONFIG_MRST=y. Moorestown will add a fake PCI-X 266 capability to advertise the presence of extended configuration space.

Task A Task B ------------ ----------- inotify_new_watch() allocate a mark (refcnt == 1) add it to the idr inotify_rm_watch() inotify_remove_from_idr() fsnotify_put_mark() refcnt hits 0, free take reference because we are on idr [at this point it is a use after free] [time goes on] refcnt may hit 0 again, double free The fix is to take the reference BEFORE the object can be found in the idr.

2010-05-14mmap_min_addr check CAP_SYS_RAWIO only for writeKees Cook
Redirecting directly to lsm, here's the patch discussed on lkml: http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/22/219 The mmap_min_addr value is useful information for an admin to see without being root ("is my system vulnerable to kernel NULL pointer attacks?") and its setting is trivially easy for an attacker to determine by calling mmap() in PAGE_SIZE increments starting at 0, so trying to keep it private has no value. Only require CAP_SYS_RAWIO if changing the value, not reading it.

If host CPU is exposed to a guest the OSVW MSRs are not guaranteed to be present and a GP fault occurs. Thus checking the feature flag is essential.

2010-05-13serial: imx.c: fix CTS trigger level lower to avoid lost charsValentin Longchamp
The imx CTS trigger level is left at its reset value that is 32 chars. Since the RX FIFO has 32 entries, when CTS is raised, the FIFO already is full. However, some serial port devices first empty their TX FIFO before stopping when CTS is raised, resulting in lost chars. This patch sets the trigger level lower so that other chars arrive after CTS is raised, there is still room for 16 of them.

2010-05-13tty: Fix unbalanced BKL handling in error pathAlan Cox
Arnd noted: After the "retry_open:" label, we first get the tty_mutex and then the BKL. However a the end of tty_open, we jump back to retry_open with the BKL still held. If we run into this case, the tty_open function will be left with the BKL still held.
