but this should only happen on zd1211.

[APPLETALK]: Fix a remotely triggerable crash
When we receive an AppleTalk frame shorter than what its header says,
we still attempt to verify its checksum, and trip on the BUG_ON() at
the end of function atalk_sum_skb() because of the length mismatch.
This has security implications because this can be triggered by simply
sending a specially crafted ethernet frame to a target victim,
effectively crashing that host. Thus this qualifies, I think, as a
remote DoS. Here is the frame I used to trigger the crash, in npg
format:
<Appletalk Killer>
{
# Ethernet header -----
XX XX XX XX XX XX # Destination MAC
00 00 00 00 00 00 # Source MAC
00 1D # Length
The destination MAC address must be set to those of the victim.
The severity is mitigated by two requirements:
* The target host must have the appletalk kernel module loaded. I
suspect this isn't so frequent.
* AppleTalk frames are non-IP, thus I guess they can only travel on
local networks. I am no network expert though, maybe it is possible
to somehow encapsulate AppleTalk packets over IP.
The bug has been reported back in June 2004:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2979
But it wasn't investigated, and was closed in July 2006 as both
reporters had vanished meanwhile.
This code was new in kernel 2.6.0-test5:
http://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/tglx/history.git;a=commitdiff;h=7ab442d7e0a76402c12553ee256f756097cae2d2
And not modified since then, so we can assume that vanilla kernels
2.6.0-test5 and later, and distribution kernels based thereon, are
affected.
Note that I still do not know for sure what triggered the bug in the
real-world cases. The frame could have been corrupted by the kernel if
we have a bug hiding somewhere. But more likely, we are receiving the
faulty frame from the network.

In debugging a problem w/ the -rt tree, I noticed that on systems that mark

[S390] cio: Fix handling of interrupt for csch().
[S390] page_mkclean data corruption.
The generic networking code ensures that no two networking devices
have the same name, so there is no time except when sysfs has
implementation bugs that device_rename when called from
dev_change_name will fail.
The current error handling for errors from device_rename in
dev_change_name is wrong and results in an unusable and unrecoverable
network device if device_rename is happens to return an error.
This patch removes the buggy error handling. Which confines the mess
when device_rename hits a problem to sysfs, instead of propagating it
the rest of the network stack. Making linux a little more robust.
Without this patch you can observe what happens when sysfs has a bug
when CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED is not set and you attempt to rename
a real network device to a name like (broken_parity_status, device,
modalias, power, resource2, subsystem_vendor, class, driver, irq,
msi_bus, resource, subsystem, uevent, config, enable, local_cpus,
numa_node, resource0, subsystem_device, vendor)

If you set the IFF_ALLMULTI flag on a b44 device, or if you join more than
B44_MCAST_TABLE_SIZE multicast groups, the device will stop receiving unicast

entry to the MAC address of the device, and then the loop at line 1722
proceeds to overwrite it unless the value of i is set by the __b44_load_mcast

to zero.

[PATCH] msi: synchronously mask and unmask msi-x irqs.
This is a simplified and actually more comprehensive form of a bug
fix from Mitch Williams <mitch.a.williams@intel.com>.
When we mask or unmask a msi-x irqs the writes may be posted because
we are writing to memory mapped region. This means the mask and
unmask don't happen immediately but at some unspecified time in the
future. Which is out of sync with how the mask/unmask logic work
for ioapic irqs.
The practical result is that we get very subtle and hard to track down
irq migration bugs.
This patch performs a read flush after writes to the MSI-X table for mask
and unmask operations. Since the SMP affinity is set while the interrupt
is masked, and since it's unmasked immediately after, no additional flushes
are required in the various affinity setting routines.
The testing by Mitch Williams on his especially problematic system should
still be valid as I have only simplified the code, not changed the
functionality.
We currently have 7 drivers: cciss, mthca, cxgb3, forceth, s2io,
pcie/portdrv_core, and qla2xxx in 2.6.21 that are affected by this
problem when the hardware they driver is plugged into the right slot.
Given the difficulty of reproducing this bug and tracing it down to
anything that even remotely resembles a cause, even if people are
being affected we aren't likely to see many meaningful bug reports, and
the people who see this bug aren't likely to be able to reproduce this
bug in a timely fashion. So it is best to get this problem fixed
as soon as we can so people don't have problems.
Then if people do have a kernel message stating "No irq for vector" we
will know it is yet another novel cause that needs a complete new
investigation.

Currently we have a confused udelay implementation.
* __const_udelay does not accept usecs but xloops in i386 and x86_64
* our implementation requires usecs as arg
* it gets a xloops count when called by asm/arch/delay.h
Bugs related to this (extremely long shutdown times) where reported by some
x86_64 users, especially using Device Mapper.
To hit this bug, a compile-time constant time parameter must be passed -
that's why UML seems to work most times. Fix this with a simple udelay
implementation.

The ADEF bits in the TSCR register have different meanings in read and
write mode. For this reason ADEF has to be reset on every
read-modify-write operation.
This patch introduces a special write function for this register, which
takes care of it.
Thanks to Holger Magnussen for pointing my nose at this problem.

[PATCH] x86: Don't probe for DDC on VBE1.2
VBE1.2 doesn't support function 15h (DDC) resulting in a 'hang' whilst
uncompressing kernel with some video cards. Make sure we check VBE version
before fiddling around with DDC.

[PATCH] x86-64: Disable local APIC timer use on AMD systems with C1E
AMD dual core laptops with C1E do not run the APIC timer correctly
when they go idle. Previously the code assumed this only happened
on C2 or deeper. But not all of these systems report support C2.
Use a AMD supplied snippet to detect C1E being enabled and then disable
local apic timer use.
This supercedes an earlier workaround using DMI detection of specific systems.
Thanks to Mark Langsdorf for the detection snippet.
[ARM] 4298/1: fix memory barriers for DMA coherent and SMP platforms
This patch:
- Switches mb/rmb/wmb back to being full-blown DMBs on ARM SMP systems,
since mb/rmb/wmb are required to order Normal memory accesses as well.
- Enables the use of DMB and ISB on XSC3 (which is an ARMv5TE ISA core
but conforms to the ARMv6 memory ordering model and supports the
various ARMv6 barriers.)
- Makes DMA coherent platforms (only ixp23xx at the moment) map
mb/rmb/wmb to dmb(), as on DMA coherent platforms, DMA consistent
mappings are done as Normal mappings, which are weakly ordered.

[ARM] 4295/2: Fix error-handling in pxaficp_ir.c (version 2)
This patch addresses the following issues with the pxa2xx FIr driver:
1. increment overrun error counter and not frame error counter on ICSR1_ROR bit set in ICSR1.
2. drop frames reported with the frame error from the IC.
3. when resetting the receiver and preparing it for the next DMA in pxa_irda_fir_irq() actually clear the Rx FIFO. See description in Table 11-2 in PXA270 Developer's Manual of the RXE bit.
Correction added in version 2: clearing the IC Rx FIFO also has to be done in pxa_irda_fir_dma_tx_irq()

[PATCH] kbuild: fix dependency generation
Commit 2e3646e51b2d6415549b310655df63e7e0d7a080 changed the way the
split config tree is built, but failed to also adjust fixdep accordingly
- if changing a config option from or to m, files referencing the
respective CONFIG_..._MODULE (but not the corresponding CONFIG_...)
didn't get rebuilt.
The problem is that trisate symbol are represent with three different
symbols:
SYMBOL=n => no symbol defined
SYMBOL=y => CONFIG_SYMBOL defined to '1'
SYMBOL=m => CONFIG_SYMBOL_MODULE defined to '1'
But conf_split_config do not distingush between the =y and =m case, so
only the =y case is honoured.
This is fixed in fixdep so when a CONFIG symbol with _MODULE is found we
skip that part and only look for the CONFIG_SYMBOL version.

But the code assigns the base of the register stack at the
maximum stack size offset from the fixed address where the
stack *might* start. Stack randomization will result in the
memory stack starting at a lower address than this, and if the
user has set a low stack limit with "ulimit -s", then you can
end up with the register stack above the memory stack (or if
you were very unlucky right on top of it!).
Fix: Calculate the base address for the register stack starting
from the actual address of the memory stack.
