One patch for two trivial typos of 'error' with three R's, appearing in message strings. There's a bunch more of the same in comments, not dealt with here. Signed-off-by:

As reported by Gustavo de Nardin <gustavodn@mandriva.com.br>, while trying to compile xosview (http://xosview.sourceforge.net/) with upstream kernel headers being used you get the following errors: serialmeter.cc:48:30: error: linux/serial_reg.h: No such file or directory serialmeter.cc: In member function 'virtual void SerialMeter::checkResources()': serialmeter.cc:71: error: 'UART_LSR' was not declared in this scope serialmeter.cc:71: error: 'UART_MSR' was not declared in this scope ...

The fourth argument of sys_futex is ignored when op == FUTEX_WAKE_OP, but futex_wake_op expects it as its nr_wake2 parameter. The only user of this operation in glibc is always passing 1, so this bug had no consequences so far. Signed-off-by:

Fix file locking for AFS: (*) Start the lock manager thread under a mutex to avoid a race. (*) Made the locking non-fair: New readlocks will jump pending writelocks if there's a readlock currently granted on a file. This makes the behaviour similar to Linux's VFS locking.

The rcu_dereference() primitive needs to be applied to an l-value in order to ensure that compiler writers don't get an opportunity to apply reordering optimizations that could result in multiple fetches or in other misbehavior. This patch pulls the rcu_dereference() calls in bpq_seq_next() up to the point at which the fetched pointers are still l-values, rather than after list_entry() has transformed them into r-values.

When user locks an ipc shmem segmant with SHM_LOCK ctl and the segment is already locked the shmem_lock() function returns 0. After this the subsequent code leaks the existing user struct: == ipc/shm.c: sys_shmctl() == ... err = shmem_lock(shp->shm_file, 1, user); if (!err) { shp->shm_perm.mode |= SHM_LOCKED; shp->mlock_user = user; } ... == Other results of this are: 1. the new shp->mlock_user is not get-ed and will point to freed memory when the task dies. 2. the RLIMIT_MEMLOCK is screwed on both user structs. The exploit looks like this: == id = shmget(...); setresuid(uid, 0, 0); shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL); setresuid(uid + 1, 0, 0); shmctl(id, SHM_LOCK, NULL); == My solution is to return 0 to the userspace and do not change the segment's user.

The spidev driver doesn't currently expose all SPI communications modes to userspace. This passes them all through to the driver. Two of them are potentially troublesome, in the sense that they could cause hardware conflicts on shared busses. It might be appropriate to add some privilege checks for for those modes.

Is there a reason why the "online" file in the subdirectories for the CPUs in /sys/devices/system isn't world-readable? I cannot imagine it to be security relevant especially now that a getcpu() syscall can be used to determine what CPUa thread runs on. The file is useful to correctly implement the sysconf() function to return the number of online CPUs. In the presence of hotplug we currently cannot provide this information. The patch below should to it. Signed-off-by:

Revert 7e92b4fc. It broke Sébastien Dugué's machine and Jeff said (persuasively) This seems like it will break decades-long-working stuff, in favor of breaking new ground in our favorite area, "trusting the BIOS." It's just not worth it for serial ports, IMO. Serial ports are something that just shouldn't break at this late stage in the game. My new Intel platform boxes don't even have serial ports, so I question the value of messing with serial port probing even more... because... just wait a year, and your box won't have a serial port either! :) I certainly don't object to the use of platform devices (or isa_driver), but the probe change seems questionable. That's sorta analagous to rewriting the floppy driver probe routine. Sure you could do it... but why risk all that damage and go through debugging all over again? It seems clear from this report that we cannot, should not, trust BIOS for something (a) so simple and (b) that has been working for over a decade. Much discussion ensued and we've decided to have another go at all of this.
