Redirecting directly to lsm, here's the patch discussed on lkml:
http://lkml.org/lkml/2010/4/22/219

The mmap_min_addr value is useful information for an admin to see without
being root ("is my system vulnerable to kernel NULL pointer attacks?") and
its setting is trivially easy for an attacker to determine by calling
mmap() in PAGE_SIZE increments starting at 0, so trying to keep it private
has no value.

Only require CAP_SYS_RAWIO if changing the value, not reading it.

  serial: mpc52xx_uart: fix null pointer dereference

The imx CTS trigger level is left at its reset value that is 32
chars. Since the RX FIFO has 32 entries, when CTS is raised, the
FIFO already is full. However, some serial port devices first empty
their TX FIFO before stopping when CTS is raised, resulting in lost
chars.

This patch sets the trigger level lower so that other chars arrive
after CTS is raised, there is still room for 16 of them.

In certain circumstances, especially under heavy load, the AUXADC
completion interrupt may be detected after we've timed out waiting for
it.  That conversion would still succeed but the next conversion will
see the completion that was signalled by the interrupt for the previous
conversion and therefore not wait for the AUXADC conversion to run,
causing it to report failure.

Provide a simple, non-invasive cleanup by using try_wait_for_completion()
to ensure that the completion is not signalled before we wait.  Since
the AUXADC is run within a mutex we know there can only have been at
most one AUXADC interrupt outstanding.  A more involved change should
follow for the next merge window.

With dma based spi transmission, data corruption is observed
occasionally. With dma buffers located right next to msg and
xfer fields, cache lines correctly flushed in preparation for
dma usage may be polluted again when writing to fields in the
same cache line.

Make sure cache fields used with dma do not share cache lines
with fields changed during dma handling. As both fields are part
of a struct that is allocated via kzalloc, thus cache aligned,
moving the fields to the 1st position and insert padding for
alignment does the job.

As the processor may not consider GUEST_INTR_STATE_STI as a reason for
blocking NMI, it could return immediately with EXIT_REASON_NMI_WINDOW
when we asked for it. But as we consider this state as NMI-blocking, we
can run into an endless loop.

Resolve this by allowing NMI injection if just GUEST_INTR_STATE_STI is
active (originally suggested by Gleb). Intel confirmed that this is
safe, the processor will never complain about NMI injection in this
state.

If there are no active threasd using a semaphore, it is always correct
to unqueue blocked threads.  This seems to be what was intended in the
undo code.

What was done instead, was to look for a sem count of zero - this is an
impossible situation, given that at least one thread is known to be
queued on the semaphore.  The code might be correct as written, but it's
hard to reason about and it's not what was intended (otherwise the goto
out would have been unconditional).

Go for checking the active count - the alternative is not worth the
headache.

MIPS non-coherent archs need the noncached pgprot in mmap of PCM buffers.
But, since the coherency needs to be checked dynamically via
plat_device_is_coherent(), we need an ugly check dependent on MIPS
in ALSA core code.

This should be cleaned up in MIPS arch side (e.g. creating
dma_mmap_coherent()) in near future.

The various dasd_sleep_on functions use a global wait queue when
waiting for a cqr. The wait condition checks the status and devlist
fields of the cqr to determine if it is safe to continue. This
evaluation may return true, although the tasklet has not finished
processing of the cqr and the callback function has not been called
yet. When the callback is finally called, the data in the cqr may
already be invalid. The sleep_on wait condition needs a safe way to
determine if the tasklet has finished processing. Use the
callback_data field of the cqr to store a token, which is set by
the callback function itself.

Anton Blanchard found that large POWER systems would occasionally
crash in the exception exit path when profiling with perf_events.
The symptom was that an interrupt would occur late in the exit path
when the MSR[RI] (recoverable interrupt) bit was clear.  Interrupts
should be hard-disabled at this point but they were enabled.  Because
the interrupt was not recoverable the system panicked.

The reason is that the exception exit path was calling
perf_event_do_pending after hard-disabling interrupts, and
perf_event_do_pending will re-enable interrupts.

The simplest and cleanest fix for this is to use the same mechanism
that 32-bit powerpc does, namely to cause a self-IPI by setting the
decrementer to 1.  This means we can remove the tests in the exception
exit path and raw_local_irq_restore.

This also makes sure that the call to perf_event_do_pending from
timer_interrupt() happens within irq_enter/irq_exit.  (Note that
calling perf_event_do_pending from timer_interrupt does not mean that
there is a possible 1/HZ latency; setting the decrementer to 1 ensures
that the timer interrupt will happen immediately, i.e. within one
timebase tick, which is a few nanoseconds or 10s of nanoseconds.)

The iterate_session_caps helper traverses the session caps list and tries
to grab an inode reference.  However, the __ceph_remove_cap was clearing
the inode backpointer _before_ removing itself from the session list,
causing a null pointer dereference.

Clear cap->ci under protection of s_cap_lock to avoid the race, and to
tightly couple the list and backpointer state.  Use a local flag to
indicate whether we are releasing the cap, as cap->session may be modified
by a racing thread in iterate_session_caps.
