[TCP]: Fix truesize underflow
There is a problem with the TSO packet trimming code. The cause of
this lies in the tcp_fragment() function.
When we allocate a fragment for a completely non-linear packet the
truesize is calculated for a payload length of zero. This means that
truesize could in fact be less than the real payload length.
When that happens the TSO packet trimming can cause truesize to become
negative. This in turn can cause sk_forward_alloc to be -n * PAGE_SIZE
which would trigger the warning.
I've copied the code DaveM used in tso_fragment which should work here.

x86: don't allow tail-calls in sys_ftruncate[64]()
Gcc thinks it owns the incoming argument stack, but that's not true for
"asmlinkage" functions, and it corrupts the caller-set-up argument stack
when it pushes the third argument onto the stack. Which can result in
%ebx getting corrupted in user space.
Now, normally nobody sane would ever notice, since libc will save and
restore %ebx anyway over the system call, but it's still wrong.
I'd much rather have "asmlinkage" tell gcc directly that it doesn't own
the stack, but no such attribute exists, so we're stuck with our hacky
manual "prevent_tail_call()" macro once more (we've had the same issue
before with sys_waitpid() and sys_wait4()).
Thanks to Hans-Werner Hilse <hilse@sub.uni-goettingen.de> for reporting
the issue and testing the fix.

To avoid race, we copy it to stack, then use it. With this change, I
guess gcc will assign cic->key to a register or stack, and it wouldn't
be re-readed.

powerpc: Use correct sequence for putting CPU into nap mode
We weren't using the recommended sequence for putting the CPU into
nap mode. When I changed the idle loop, for some reason 7447A cpus
started hanging when we put them into nap mode. Changing to the
recommended sequence fixes that.
The complexity here is that the recommended sequence is a loop that
keeps putting the cpu back into nap mode. Clearly we need some way
to break out of the loop when an interrupt (external interrupt,
decrementer, performance monitor) occurs. Here we use a bit in
the thread_info struct to indicate that we need this, and the exception
entry code notices this and arranges for the exception to return
to the value in the link register, thus breaking out of the loop.
We use a new `local_flags' field in the thread_info which we can
alter without needing to use an atomic update sequence.
The PPC970 has the same recommended sequence, so we do the same thing
there too.
This also fixes a bug in the kernel stack overflow handling code on
32-bit, since it was causing a value that we needed in a register to
get trashed.
When queue dies, we set cic->key=NULL as dead mark. So, when we
traverse a rbtree, we must check whether it's still valid key. if it
was invalidated, drop it, then restart the traversal from top.
[PATCH] IPC: access to unmapped vmalloc area in grow_ary()

[PATCH] shmat: stop mprotect from giving write permission to a readonly attachment (CVE-2006-1524)
I found that all of 2.4 and 2.6 have been letting mprotect give write
permission to a readonly attachment of shared memory, whether or not IPC
would give the caller that permission.
SUS says "The behaviour of this function [mprotect] is unspecified if the
mapping was not established by a call to mmap", but I don't think we can
interpret that as allowing it to subvert IPC permissions.
I haven't tried 2.2, but the 2.2.26 source looks like it gets it right; and
the patch below reproduces that behaviour - mprotect cannot be used to add
write permission to a shared memory segment attached readonly.
This patch is simple, and I'm sure it's what we should have done in 2.4.0:
if you want to go on to switch write permission on and off with mprotect,
just don't attach the segment readonly in the first place.
However, we could have accumulated apps which attach readonly (even though
they would be permitted to attach read/write), and which subsequently use
mprotect to switch write permission on and off: it's not unreasonable.
I was going to add a second ipcperms check in do_shmat, to check for
writable when readonly, and if not writable find_vma and clear VM_MAYWRITE.
But security_ipc_permission might do auditing, and it seems wrong to
report an attempt for write permission when there has been none. Or we
could flag the vma as SHM, note the shmid or shp in vm_private_data, and
then get mprotect to check.
But the patch below is a lot simpler: I'd rather stick with it, if we can
convince ourselves somehow that it'll be safe.

- Buffers allocated by dma_alloc_coherent() may not be completely
free of coherency concerns ... some CPUs also have write buffers
that may need to be flushed.
- Cacheline coherence issues are now mentioned as being among issues
which affect dma buffers, and complicate/prevent using of static and
(especially) stack based buffers with the DMA calls.
I don't think many drivers currently need to worry about flushing write
buffers, but I did hit it with one SOC using external SDRAM for DMA
descriptors: without explicit writebuffer flushing, the on-chip DMA
controller accessed descriptors before the CPU completed the writes.

.4 and .6) and I have found some problems on VIA based PC's. Probably the
reason of this is that some VIA chipsets are unrecognized by IRQ router.
In line 586 there is: /* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */
There were only a few of chipsets ID's there, some of my VIA chipsets were
not present and kernel used default IRQ router.
I have added three entries, so that the code looks like:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C596:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_82C686:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8231:
case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8233A:

case PCI_DEVICE_ID_VIA_8237_SATA:
/* FIXME: add new ones for 8233/5 */
r->name = "VIA";
r->get = pirq_via_get;
r->set = pirq_via_set;
return 1;
}
The kernel goes fine but I haven't testes it for weeks, I'm just a moment
after reboot :)
One thing is different (better?):
Using previus kernel I had:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 0
now I have:
PCI: Via IRQ fixup for 0000:00:0f.1, from 255 to 11

[PATCH] i2c: convert ds1374 to use a workqueue
A tasklet is not suitable for what the ds1374 driver does: neither sleeping
nor mutex operations are allowed in tasklets, and ds1374_set_tlet may do
both.
We can use a workqueue instead, where both sleeping and mutex operations
are allowed.

[PATCH] USB: S3C2410: use clk_enable() to ensure 48MHz to OHCI core
Get the "usb-bus" clock and ensure it is enabled
when the OHCI core is in use.
It seems that a few bootloaders do not enable the
UPLL at startup, which stops the OHCI core having
a 48MHz bus clock. The improvements to the clock
framework for the s3c24xx now allow the USB PLL
to be started and stopped when being used.

[PATCH] hid-core.c: fix "input irq status -32 received" for Silvercrest USB Keyboard
When not using this patch, the kernel will continuously return "input irq
status -32 received", while making the keyboard unusable. This can be
easely resolved using HID_QUIRK_NOGET. Vendor-ID and Device-ID should be
applied to hid-core.c, and making an entry to make use of it.

[PATCH] USB: UHCI: don't track suspended ports
Someone recently posted a bug report where it turned out that uhci-hcd
was disagreeing with the UHCI controller over whether or not a port was
suspended: The driver thought it wasn't and the hardware thought it was.
This patch (as665) fixes the problem and simplifies the driver by
removing the internal state-tracking completely. Now the driver just
asks the hardware whether a port is suspended.

[PATCH] USB: Rename ax8817x_func() to asix_func() and add utility functions to reduce bloat
Now that the ASIX code is supporting more than just the AX88172 devices,
make the utility function names more generic: ax8817x_func -> asix_func.
Functions that are chip specific now indicate as such: ax88772_func.
Additionally, pull some common routines used in initialization and such
into simple functions to reduce the verbosity of certain functions such
as
the bind() routines and to make the error handling consistent across the
board.

[PATCH] USB: usbtest: scatterlist OUT data pattern testing
Previously, scatterlist tests didn't write patterned data. Given how many
corner cases are addresed by them, this was a significant gap in Linux-USB
test coverage. Moreover, when peripherals checked for correct data patterns,
false error reports would drown out the true ones.
This adds the pattern on the way OUT from the host, so scatterlist tests can
now be used to uncover bugs like host TX or peripheral RX paths failing for
back-to-back short packets. It's easy enough to get an error there with at
least one of the {DMA,PIO}{RX,TX} code paths, or run into hardware races
that need to be defended against.
Note this patch doesn't add checking for correct data patterns on the way
IN from peripherals, just a FIXME for later.
