[PATCH] USB: ipaq.c timing parameters
Adds configurable waiting periods to the ipaq connection code. These are
not needed when the pocketpc device is running normally when plugged in,
but they need extra delays if they are physically connected while
rebooting.
There are two parameters :
* initial_wait : this is the delay before the driver attemts to start the
connection. This is needed because the pocktpc device takes much
longer to boot if the driver starts sending control packets too soon.
* connect_retries : this is the number of times the control urb is
retried before finally giving up. The patch also adds a 1 second delay
between retries.
I'm not sure if the cases where this patch is useful are general enough
to include this in the kernel.

The original patch was by Guillaume Autran, who in turn based it on the

re-targeted the patch to the latest sources, fixed a couple of errors,
renamed his new structure members, and updated the implementations of

[PATCH] ide: fix Jmicron support
Prior to 2.6.18rc1 you could install with devices on a JMicron chipset
using the "all-generic-ide" option. As of this kernel the AHCI driver
grabs the controller and rams it into AHCI mode losing the PATA ports
and making CD drives and the like vanish. The all-generic-ide option
fails because the AHCI driver grabbed the PCI device and reconfigured
it.
To fix this three things are needed.
#1 We must put the chip into dual function mode
#2 The AHCI driver must grab only function 0 (already in your rc1 tree)
#3 Something must grab the PATA ports
The attached patch is the minimal risk edition of this. It puts the chip
into dual function mode so that AHCI will grab the SATA ports without
losing the PATA ports. To keep the risk as low as possible the third
patch adds the PCI identifiers for the PATA port and the FN check to the
ide-generic driver. There is a more featured jmicron driver on its way
but that adds risk and the ide-generic support is sufficient to install
and run a system.
The actual chip setup done by the quirk is the precise setup recommended
by the vendor.
(The JMB368 appears only in the ide-generic entry as it has no AHCI so
does not need the quirk)

[PATCH] Fix prctl privilege escalation and suid_dumpable (CVE-2006-2451)
Based on a patch from Ernie Petrides
During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core
dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a
core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have
permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk
consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges.
The prctl() system call should never allow to set "dumpable" to the
value 2. Especially not for non-privileged users.
This can be split into three cases:
1) running as root -- then core dumps will already be done as root,
and so prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 2) is not useful
2) running as non-root w/setuid-to-root -- this is the debatable case
3) running as non-root w/setuid-to-non-root -- then you definitely
do NOT want "dumpable" to get set to 2 because you have the
privilege escalation vulnerability
With case #2, the only potential usefulness is for a program that has
designed to run with higher privilege (than the user invoking it) that
wants to be able to create root-owned root-validated core dumps. This
might be useful as a debugging aid, but would only be safe if the program
had done a chdir() to a safe directory.
There is no benefit to a production setuid-to-root utility, because it
shouldn't be dumping core in the first place. If this is true, then the
same debugging aid could also be accomplished with the "suid_dumpable"
sysctl.

[PATCH] x86_64: Bring x86-64 ia32 emul in sync with i386 on READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabling
Currently ia32 binaries behave differently with respect to enabling
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC. On i386 a binary with the exec_stack flag set is
executed with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabled as well. The same binary
executes without READ_IMPLIES_EXEC on x86-64.
This causes binaries that work on i386 to fail on x86-64 which goes
somewhat against the whole 32 bit emulation idea.
It has been argued that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC should not be enabled at all
for binaries that have the exec_stack flag. Which is probably a valid
point. However until this is clarified I think x86-64 should behave the
same for ia32 binaries as i386.
The following patch brings x86-64 in sync with i386 for ia32 binaries.
The inclusion of TCP Compound needs to be reverted at this time
because it is not 100% certain that this code conforms to the

Bpqether is encapsulating AX.25 frames into ethernet frames. There is a
virtual bpqether device paired with each ethernet devices, so it's normal
to pass through dev_queue_xmit twice for each frame which triggers the
locking detector.

[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: add per-operation server stats
Add an nfs4 operations count array to nfsd_stats structure. The count is
incremented in nfsd4_proc_compound() where all the operations are handled
by the nfsv4 server. This count of individual nfsv4 operations is also
entered into /proc filesystem.

[PATCH] lockdep: disable lock debugging when kernel state becomes untrusted
Disable lockdep debugging in two situations where the integrity of the
kernel no longer is guaranteed: when oopsing and when hitting a
tainting-condition. The goal is to not get weird lockdep traces that don't
make sense or are otherwise undebuggable, to not waste time.
Lockdep assumes that the previous state it knows about is valid to operate,
which is why lockdep turns itself off after the first violation it reports,
after that point it can no longer make that assumption.
A kernel oops means that the integrity of the kernel compromised; in
addition anything lockdep would report is of lesser importance than the
oops.
All the tainting conditions are of similar integrity-violating nature and
also make debugging/diagnosing more difficult.

Currently most architectures either always build binfmt_elf32 in the kernel
image or make it a boolean option. Only sparc64 and s390 allow to build it
modularly. This patch turns the option into a boolean aswell because elf
requires various symbols that shouldn't be available to modules. The most
urgent one is tasklist_lock whos export this patch series kills, but there
are others like force_sgi aswell.
Note that sparc doesn't allow a modular 32bit a.out handler either, and
that would be the more useful case as only few people want 32bit sunos
compatibility and 99.9% of all sparc64 users need 32bit linux native elf
support.

Currently the snsc driver uses force_sig to send init a SIGPWR when the
system overheats. This patch switches it to kill_proc instead which has
the following advantages:
(1) gets rid of one of the last remaining tasklist_lock users
in modular code
(2) simplifies the snsc code significantly
The downside is that an init implementation could in theory block SIGPWR
and it would not get delivered. The sysvinit code used by all major
distributions doesn't do this and blocking this signal in init would be a
rather stupid thing to do.

- Switch from register_chrdev() to (register|alloc)_chrdev_region().
- use a cdev. This was intended for original patchset, but was
overlooked.
We use a single cdev for all pins (minor device-numbers), as gleaned
from cs5535_gpio, and in contrast to whats currently done in scx200_gpio
(which I'll fix soon)

[PATCH] pc8736x_gpio: fix re-modprobe errors: undo region reservation
Fix module-init-func by repairing usage of platform_device_del/put in
module-exit-func. IOW, it imitates Ingo's 'mishaps' patch, which fixed the
module-init-func's undo handling.
Also fixes lack of release_region to undo the earlier registration.
Also starts to 'use a cdev' which was originally intended (its present in
scx200_gpio). Code compiles and runs, exhibits a lesser error than
previously. (re-register-chrdev fails)
Since I had to add "include <linux/cdev.h>", I went ahead and made 2
tweaks that fell into diff-context-window:
- remove include <linux/config.h> everyone's doing it
- copyright updates - current date is 'wrong'

Add LED Class device support for the Soekris net48xx Error LED. Tested
only on a net4801, but should work on a net4826 as well. I'd love to find
a way of detecting a Soekris net48xx device but there is no DMI or any
Soekris-specific PCI devices.
