[PATCH] PR_GET_DUMPABLE returns incorrect info
2.6.13 incorporated Alan Cox's patch for /proc/sys/fs/suid_dumpable (one
version of this patch can be found here
http://marc.theaimsgroup.com/?l=linux-kernel&m=109647550421014&w=2 ).
This patch also made corresponding changes in kernel/sys.c to change the
prctl() PR_SET_DUMPABLE operation so that the permitted range of 'arg2' was
modified from 0..1 to 0..2.
However, a corresponding change was not made for PR_GET_DUMPABLE: if the
dumpable flag is non-zero, then PR_GET_DUMPABLE always returns 1, so that
the caller can't determine the true setting of this flag.

[PATCH] uml: preserve errno in error paths
The poster child for this patch is the third tuntap_user hunk. When an ioctl
fails, it properly closes the opened file descriptor and returns. However,
the close resets errno to 0, and the 'return errno' that follows returns 0
rather than the value that ioctl set. This caused the caller to believe that
the device open succeeded and had opened file descriptor 0, which caused no
end of interesting behavior.
The rest of this patch is a pass through the UML sources looking for places
where errno could be reset before being passed back out. A common culprit is
printk, which could call write, being called before errno is returned.
In some cases, where the code ends up being much smaller, I just deleted the
printk.
There was another case where a caller of run_helper looked at errno after a
failure, rather than the return value of run_helper, which was the errno value
that it wanted.

[PATCH] uml: breakpoint an arbitrary thread
This patch implements a stack trace for a thread, not unlike sysrq-t does.
The advantage to this is that a break point can be placed on showreqs, so that
upon showing the stack, you jump immediately into the debugger. While sysrq-t
does the same thing, sysrq-t shows *all* threads stacks. It also doesn't work
right now. In the future, I thought it might be acceptable to make this show
all pids stacks, but perhaps leaving well enough alone and just using sysrq-t
would be okay. For now, upon receiving the stack command, UML switches
context to that thread, dumps its registers, and then switches context back to
the original thread. Since UML compacts all threads into one of 4 host
threads, this sort of mechanism could be expanded in the future to include
other debugging helpers that sysrq does not cover.
Note by jdike - The main benefit to this is that it brings an arbitrary thread
back into context, where it can be examined by gdb. The fact that it dumps it
stack is secondary. This provides the capability to examine a sleeping
thread, which has existed in tt mode, but not in skas mode until now.
Also, the other threads, that sysrq doesn't cover, can be gdb-ed directly
anyway.

This patch:
- changes the ixp2000_reg_write accessor to take a 'volatile void *'
instead of a 'volatile unsigned long *', which then allows passing in
a u32 * as first argument without being greeted with a warning; and
- adds an ixp2000_reg_read accessor.
We can then use these accessors in ixp2000 code to access on-chip
peripherals, instead of directly dereferencing pointers. This is for
use by the ixp2000 microengine driver which was recently announced on
netdev. We can't use readl/writel on the ixp2000 since it is usually
run in big-endian mode, and on big-endian platforms, readl/writel
perform byteswapping.
A future patch will remove the readback from ixp2000_reg_write, since
it's not needed to prevent erratum #66, and add manual readbacks to the
places that need them (writes are not synchronous since we map in device
space using XCB=101 nowadays), such as interrupt disabling and GPIO

[PATCH] Fix slab BUG_ON() triggered by change in array cache size
With the new changes that we made in the initialization of the slab

Now if the array cache comes from a cache in which objsize > 32, (in this
instance size-64) then, first size-64 cache will be allocated and then the
size-128 (if this is the cache from which kmem_list3's are going to be
allocated).
So with these new changes, we are not guaranteed that we will be
initializing the malloc_sizes array in a serialized order. Thus there is
a bug in __find_general_cachep, as we are checking whether the first
cache_sizes ptr is NULL.
This is replaced by checking whether the array-cache cache is initialized.

[PATCH] error path in setup_arg_pages() misses vm_unacct_memory()
Pavel Emelianov and Kirill Korotaev observe that fs and arch users of
security_vm_enough_memory tend to forget to vm_unacct_memory when a
failure occurs further down (typically in setup_arg_pages variants).
These are all users of insert_vm_struct, and that reservation will only
be unaccounted on exit if the vma is marked VM_ACCOUNT: which in some
cases it is (hidden inside VM_STACK_FLAGS) and in some cases it isn't.
So x86_64 32-bit and ppc64 vDSO ELFs have been leaking memory into
Committed_AS each time they're run. But don't add VM_ACCOUNT to them,
it's inappropriate to reserve against the very unlikely case that gdb
be used to COW a vDSO page - we ought to do something about that in
do_wp_page, but there are yet other inconsistencies to be resolved.
The safe and economical way to fix this is to let insert_vm_struct do
the security_vm_enough_memory check when it finds VM_ACCOUNT is set.
And the MIPS irix_brk has been calling security_vm_enough_memory before
calling do_brk which repeats it, doubly accounting and so also leaking.
Remove that, and all the fs and arch calls to security_vm_enough_memory:
give it a less misleading name later on.

[PATCH] s390: TSO related fixes in qeth driver
Jeff,
I'm sorry seems that they have not been sent out either ...
ok here they come ...
[patch 3/4] s390: TSO related fixes in qeth driver
From: Frank Pavlic <pavlic@de.ibm.com>
TSO related fixes :
- changing value of large_send attribute while network traffic
is running caused program check and thus device recovery.
- Due to hardware restriction discard packet when it exceeds 60K
otherwise qeth will cause program checks and thus traffic stall
when trying to send such huge packets.
