* git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/rusty/linux-2.6-for-linus: virtio: console: Enable call to hvc_remove() on console port remove virtio_pci: Prevent double-free of pci regions after device hot-unplug virtio: Decrement avail idx on buffer detach
2011-04-21virtio: console: Enable call to hvc_remove() on console port removeAmit Shah
This call was disabled as hot-unplugging one virtconsole port led to another virtconsole port freezing. Upon testing it again, this now works, so enable it. In addition, a bug was found in qemu wherein removing a port of one type caused the guest output from another port to stop working. I doubt it was just this bug that caused it (since disabling the hvc_remove() call did allow other ports to continue working), but since it's all solved now, we're fine with hot-unplugging of virtconsole ports.

2011-04-21agp: fix arbitrary kernel memory writesVasiliy Kulikov
pg_start is copied from userspace on AGPIOC_BIND and AGPIOC_UNBIND ioctl cmds of agp_ioctl() and passed to agpioc_bind_wrap(). As said in the comment, (pg_start + mem->page_count) may wrap in case of AGPIOC_BIND, and it is not checked at all in case of AGPIOC_UNBIND. As a result, user with sufficient privileges (usually "video" group) may generate either local DoS or privilege escalation.

2011-04-21agp: fix OOM and buffer overflowVasiliy Kulikov
page_count is copied from userspace. agp_allocate_memory() tries to check whether this number is too big, but doesn't take into account the wrap case. Also agp_create_user_memory() doesn't check whether alloc_size is calculated from num_agp_pages variable without overflow. This may lead to allocation of too small buffer with following buffer overflow. Another problem in agp code is not addressed in the patch - kernel memory exhaustion (AGPIOC_RESERVE and AGPIOC_ALLOCATE ioctls). It is not checked whether requested pid is a pid of the caller (no check in agpioc_reserve_wrap()). Each allocation is limited to 16KB, though, there is no per-process limit. This might lead to OOM situation, which is not even solved in case of the caller death by OOM killer - the memory is allocated for another (faked) process.

2011-03-06virtio: console: Don't access vqs if device was unpluggedAmit Shah
If a virtio-console device gets unplugged while a port is open, a subsequent close() call on the port accesses vqs to free up buffers. This can lead to a crash. The buffers are already freed up as a result of the call to unplug_ports() from virtcons_remove(). The fix is to simply not access vq information if port->portdev is NULL.

2011-02-21random: update interface comments to reflect realityJarod Wilson
At present, the comment header in random.c makes no mention of add_disk_randomness, and instead, suggests that disk activity adds to the random pool by way of add_interrupt_randomness, which appears to not have been the case since sometime prior to the existence of git, and even prior to bitkeeper. Didn't look any further back. At least, as far as I can tell, there are no storage drivers setting IRQF_SAMPLE_RANDOM, which is a requirement for add_interrupt_randomness to trigger, so the only way for a disk to contribute entropy is by way of add_disk_randomness. Update comments accordingly, complete with special mention about solid state drives being a crappy source of entropy (see e2e1a148bc for reference).

2011-02-19drivers/char/pcmcia/ipwireless/main.c: Convert release_resource to ↵Julia Lawall
release_region/release_mem_region Request_region should be used with release_region, not release_resource. This patch contains a number of changes, related to calls to request_region, request_mem_region, and the associated error handling code. 1. For the call to request_region, the variable io_resource storing the result is dropped. The call to release_resource at the end of the function is changed to a call to release_region with the first two arguments of request_region as its arguments. The same call to release_region is also added to release_ipwireless. 2. The first call to request_mem_region is now tested and ret is set to -EBUSY if the the call has failed. This call was associated with the initialization of ipw->attr_memory. But the error handling code was testing ipw->common_memory. The definition of release_ipwireless also suggests that this call should be associated with ipw->common_memory, not ipw->attr_memory. 3. The second call to request_mem_region is now tested and ret is set to -EBUSY if the the call has failed. 4. The various gotos to the error handling code is adjusted so that there is no need for ifs. 5. Return the value stored in the ret variable rather than -1.

2011-02-17tty: now phase out the ioctl file pointer for goodAlan Cox
Only oddities here are a couple of drivers that bogusly called the ldisc helpers instead of returning -ENOIOCTLCMD. Fix the bug and the rest goes away. Signed-off-by: Alan Cox <alan@linux.intel.com> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

2011-02-17tiocmget: kill off the passing of the struct fileAlan Cox
We don't actually need this and it causes problems for internal use of this functionality. Currently there is a single use of the FILE * pointer. That is the serial core which uses it to check tty_hung_up_p. However if that is true then IO_ERROR is also already set so the check may be removed.

2011-02-17hvc: add Blackfin JTAG console supportMike Frysinger
This converts the existing bfin_jtag_comm TTY driver to the HVC layer so that the common HVC code can worry about all of the TTY/polling crap and leave the Blackfin code to worry about the Blackfin bits.

2011-02-16hwrng: omap - Convert release_resource to release_region/release_mem_regionJulia Lawall
Request_region should be used with release_region, not release_resource. The local variable mem, storing the result of request_mem_region, is dropped and instead the pointer res is stored in the drvdata field of the platform device. This information is retrieved in omap_rng_remove to release the region. The drvdata field is not used elsewhere.

2011-02-11tpm_tis: Use timeouts returned from TPMStefan Berger
The current TPM TIS driver in git discards the timeout values returned from the TPM. The check of the response packet needs to consider that the return_code field is 0 on success and the size of the expected packet is equivalent to the header size + u32 length indicator for the TPM_GetCapability() result + 3 timeout indicators of type u32. I am also adding a sysfs entry 'timeouts' showing the timeouts that are being used.
