      [PATCH] make vm86 call audit_syscall_exit · 7e7f8a03
      Jason Baron authored
      hi,
      
      The motivation behind the patch below was to address messages in
      /var/log/messages such as:
      
      Jan 31 10:54:15 mets kernel: audit(:0): major=252 name_count=0: freeing
      multiple contexts (1)
      Jan 31 10:54:15 mets kernel: audit(:0): major=113 name_count=0: freeing
      multiple contexts (2)
      
      I can reproduce by running 'get-edid' from:
      http://john.fremlin.de/programs/linux/read-edid/.
      
      These messages come about in the log b/c the vm86 calls do not exit via
      the normal system call exit paths and thus do not call
      'audit_syscall_exit'. The next system call will then free the context for
      itself and for the vm86 context, thus generating the above messages. This
      patch addresses the issue by simply adding a call to 'audit_syscall_exit'
      from the vm86 code.
      
      Besides fixing the above error messages the patch also now allows vm86
      system calls to become auditable. This is useful since strace does not
      appear to properly record the return values from sys_vm86.
      
      I think this patch is also a step in the right direction in terms of
      cleaning up some core auditing code. If we can correct any other paths
      that do not properly call the audit exit and entries points, then we can
      also eliminate the notion of context chaining.
      
      I've tested this patch by verifying that the log messages no longer
      appear, and that the audit records for sys_vm86 appear to be correct.
      Also, 'read_edid' produces itentical output.
      
      thanks,
      
      -Jason

      [TG3]: 40-bit DMA workaround part 2 · 4a29cc2e
      Michael Chan authored
      The 40-bit DMA workaround recently implemented for 5714, 5715, and
      5780 needs to be expanded because there may be other tg3 devices
      behind the EPB Express to PCIX bridge in the 5780 class device.
      
      For example, some 4-port card or mother board designs have 5704 behind
      the 5714.
      
      All devices behind the EPB require the 40-bit DMA workaround.
      
      Thanks to Chris Elmquist again for reporting the problem and testing
      the patch.

      [AX.25]: Fix potencial memory hole. · c7c694d1
      Ralf Baechle DL5RB authored
      If the AX.25 dialect chosen by the sysadmin is set to DAMA master / 3
      (or DAMA slave / 2, if CONFIG_AX25_DAMA_SLAVE=n) ax25_kick() will fall
      through the switch statement without calling ax25_send_iframe() or any
      other function that would eventually free skbn thus leaking the packet.
      
      Fix by restricting the sysctl inferface to allow only actually supported
      AX.25 dialects.
      
      The system administration mistake needed for this to happen is rather
      unlikely, so this is an uncritical hole.
      
      Coverity #651.
