The recent change fix-crash-in-entrys-restore_all.patch childregs->esp = esp; p->thread.esp = (unsigned long) childregs; - p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1); + p->thread.esp0 = (unsigned long) (childregs+1) - 8; p->thread.eip = (unsigned long) ret_from_fork; introduces an inconsistency between esp and esp0 before the task is run the first time. esp0 is no longer the actual start of the stack, but 8 bytes off. This shows itself clearly in a scenario when a ptracer that is set to also ptrace eventual children traces program1 which then clones thread1. Now the ptracer wants to modify the registers of thread1. The x86 ptrace implementation bases it's knowledge about saved user-space registers upon p->thread.esp0. But this will be a few bytes off causing certain writes to the kernel stack to overwrite a saved kernel function address making the kernel when actually running thread1 jump out into user-space. Very spectacular. The testcase I've used is: /* start with strace -f ./a.out */ #include <pthread.h> #include <stdio.h> void *do_thread(void *p) { for (;;); } int main() { pthread_t one; pthread_create(&one, NULL, &do_thread, NULL); for (;;); return 0; } So, my solution is to instead of just adjusting esp0 that creates an inconsitent state I adjust where the user-space registers are saved with -8 bytes. This gives us the wanted extra bytes on the start of the stack and esp0 is now correct. This solves the issues I saw from the original testcase from Mateusz Berezecki and has survived testing here. I think this should go into -mm a round or two first however as there might be some cruft around depending on pt_regs lying on the start of the stack. That however would have broken with the first change too! It's actually a 2-line diff but I had to move the comment of why the -8 bytes are there a few lines up. Thanks to Zwane for helping me with this. Signed-off-by: Alexander Nyberg <alexn@telia.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>

This patch adds i18n support for make *config, allowing users to have the config process in their own language. No printk was harmed in the process, don't worry, so all the bug reports, kernel messages, etc, remain in english, just the user tools to configure the kernel are internationalized. Users not interested in translations can just unset the related LANG, LC_ALL, etc env variables and have the config process in plain english, something like: LANG= make menuconfig is enough for having the whole config process in english. Or just don't install any translation file. Translations for brazilian portuguese are being done by a team of volunteers at: http://www.visionflex.inf.br/kernel_ptbr/pmwiki.php/Principal/Traducoes To start the translation process: make update-po-config This will generate the pot template named scripts/kconfig/linux.pot, copy it to, say, ~/es.po, to start the translation for spanish. To test your translation, as root issue this command: msgfmt -o /usr/share/locale/es/LC_MESSAGES/linux.mo ~/es.po Replace "es" with your language code. Then execute, for instance: make menuconfig The current patch doesn't use any optimization to reduce the size of the generated .mo file, it is possible to use the config option as a key, but this doesn't prevent the current patch from being used or the translations done under the current scheme to be in any way lost if we chose to do any kind of keying. Thanks to Fabricio Vaccari for starting the pt_BR (brazilian portuguese) translation effort, Thiago Maciera for helping me with the gconf.cc (QT frontent) i18n coding and to all the volunteers that are already working on the first translation, to pt_BR. I left the question on whether to ship the translations with the stock kernel sources to be discussed here, please share your suggestions.

[XFS] Use the right offset when ensuring a delayed allocate conversion has covered the offset originally requested. Can cause data corruption when multiple processes are performing writeout on different areas of the same file. Quite difficult to hit though.

Various places in the ARM kernel implicitly assumed that kernel stacks are always 8K due to hard coded constants. Replace these constants with definitions. Correct the allowable range of kernel stack pointer values within the allocation. Arrange for the entire kernel stack to be zeroed, not just the upper 4K if CONFIG_DEBUG_STACK_USAGE is set.

With 2.6.11 and 2.6.12-rc2 (and perhaps a few versions before) usb drivers for multi-interface devices, which do usb_driver_release_interface() in their disconnect(), make rmmod hang. It turns out to be due to a bug in drivers/base/bus.c:driver_detach(), that iterates over the list of attached devices with list_for_each_safe() under an assumption that device_release_driver() only releases the current device, while it may also call device_release_driver() for other devices on the same list. The following patch fixes it. Please consider applying. Signed-off-by: Roman Kagan <rkagan@mail.ru> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
