      ipmi: fix ipmi_si modprobe hang · 9a2845c4
      Corey Minyard authored
      Instead of queuing IPMB messages before channel initialization, just
      throw them away.  Nobody will be listening for them at this point,
      anyway, and they will clog up the queue and nothing will be delivered
      if we queue them.
      
      Also set the current channel to the number of channels, as this value
      is used to tell if the channel information has been initialized.

      drm: Round size of SHM maps to PAGE_SIZE · b6741377
      Benjamin Herrenschmidt authored
      Currently, userspace can fail to obtain the SAREA mapping (among other
      reasons) if it passes SAREA_MAX to drmAddMap without aligning it to the
      page size. This breaks for example on PowerPC with 64K pages and radeon
      despite the kernel radeon actually doing the right rouding in the first
      place.
      
      The way SAREA_MAX is defined with a bunch of ifdef's and duplicated
      between libdrm and the X server is gross, ultimately it should be
      retrieved by userspace from the kernel, but in the meantime, we have
      plenty of existing userspace built with bad values that need to work.
      
      This patch works around broken userspace by rounding the requested size
      in drm_addmap_core() of any SHM map to the page size. Since the backing
      memory for SHM maps is also allocated within addmap_core, there is no
      danger of adjacent memory being exposed due to the increased map size.
      The only side effect is that drivers that previously tried to create or
      access SHM maps using a size < PAGE_SIZE and failed (getting -EINVAL),
      will now succeed at the cost of a little bit more memory used if that
      happens to be when the map is created.

      TPM: get_event_name stack corruption · fbaa5869
      Eric Paris authored
      get_event_name uses sprintf to fill a buffer declared on the stack.  It fills
      the buffer 2 bytes at a time.  What the code doesn't take into account is that
      sprintf(buf, "%02x", data) actually writes 3 bytes.  2 bytes for the data and
      then it nul terminates the string.  Since we declare buf to be 40 characters
      long and then we write 40 bytes of data into buf sprintf is going to write 41
      characters.  The fix is to leave room in buf for the nul terminator.

      PCI PM: Fix initialization and kexec breakage for some devices · b3bad72e
      Rafael J. Wysocki authored
      Recent PCI PM changes introduced a bug that causes some devices to be
      mishandled after kexec and during early initialization.  The failure
      scenario in the kexec case is the following:
      
      * Assume a PCI device is not power-manageable by the platform and has
        PCI_PM_CTRL_NO_SOFT_RESET set in PMCSR.
      * The device is put into D3 before kexec (using the native PCI PM).
      * After kexec, pci_setup_device() sets the device's power state to
        PCI_UNKNOWN.
      * pci_set_power_state(dev, PCI_D0) is called by the device's driver.
      * __pci_start_power_transition(dev, PCI_D0) is called and since the
        device is not power-manageable by the platform, it causes
        pci_update_current_state(dev, PCI_D0) to be called.  As a result
        the device's current_state field is updated to PCI_D3, in
        accordance with the contents of its PCI PM registers.
      * pci_raw_set_power_state() is called and it changes the device power
        state to D0.  *However*, it should also call pci_restore_bars() to
        reinitialize the device, but it doesn't, because the device's
        current_state field has been modified earlier.
      
      To prevent this from happening, modify pci_platform_power_transition()
      so that it doesn't use pci_update_current_state() to update the
      current_state field for devices that aren't power-manageable by the
      platform.  Instead, this field should be updated directly for devices
      that don't support the native PCI PM.

      futex: setup writeable mapping for futex ops which modify user space data · 64d1304a
      Thomas Gleixner authored
      The futex code installs a read only mapping via get_user_pages_fast()
      even if the futex op function has to modify user space data. The
      eventual fault was fixed up by futex_handle_fault() which walked the
      VMA with mmap_sem held.
      
      After the cleanup patches which removed the mmap_sem dependency of the
      futex code commit 4dc5b7a36a49eff97050894cf1b3a9a02523717 (futex:
      clean up fault logic) removed the private VMA walk logic from the
      futex code. This change results in a stale RO mapping which is not
      fixed up.
      
      Instead of reintroducing the previous fault logic we set up the
      mapping in get_user_pages_fast() read/write for all operations which
      modify user space data. Also handle private futexes in the same way
      and make the current unconditional access_ok(VERIFY_WRITE) depend on
      the futex op.

      mfd: Keep a cache of WM8350 volatile values · b126d113
      Mark Brown authored
      Due to the way that the WM8350 audio driver handles CODEC_ENA many of
      the WM8350 audio registers are marked as volatile when they aren't
      actually so. Allow the audio driver to see a cache of these values for
      inspection during interrupt context.
      
      To do this we need to stop satisfying any bits from volatile registers
      from cache - there's no real benefit from doing so anyway, we did the
      read already.

      Avoid ICE in get_random_int() with gcc-3.4.5 · 26a9a418
      Linus Torvalds authored
      Martin Knoblauch reports that trying to build 2.6.30-rc6-git3 with
      RHEL4.3 userspace (gcc (GCC) 3.4.5 20051201 (Red Hat 3.4.5-2)) causes an
      internal compiler error (ICE):
      
          drivers/char/random.c: In function `get_random_int':
          drivers/char/random.c:1672: error: unrecognizable insn:
          (insn 202 148 150 0 /scratch/build/linux-2.6.30-rc6-git3/arch/x86/include/asm/tsc.h:23 (set (reg:SI 0 ax [91])
                  (subreg:SI (plus:DI (plus:DI (reg:DI 0 ax [88])
                              (subreg:DI (reg:SI 6 bp) 0))
                          (const_int -4 [0xfffffffffffffffc])) 0)) -1 (nil)
              (nil))
          drivers/char/random.c:1672: internal compiler error: in extract_insn, at recog.c:2083
      
      and after some debugging it turns out that it's due to the code trying
      to figure out the rough value of the current stack pointer by taking an
      address of an uninitialized variable and casting that to an integer.
      
      This is clearly a compiler bug, but it's not worth fighting - while the
      current stack kernel pointer might be somewhat hard to predict in user
      space, it's also not generally going to change for a lot of the call
      chains for a particular process.
      
      So just drop it, and mumble some incoherent curses at the compiler.

      cifs: fix pointer initialization and checks in cifs_follow_symlink (try #4) · 8b6427a2
      Jeff Layton authored
      This is the third respin of the patch posted yesterday to fix the error
      handling in cifs_follow_symlink. It also includes a fix for a bogus NULL
      pointer check in CIFSSMBQueryUnixSymLink that Jeff Moyer spotted.
      
      It's possible for CIFSSMBQueryUnixSymLink to return without setting
      target_path to a valid pointer. If that happens then the current value
      to which we're initializing this pointer could cause an oops when it's
      kfree'd.
      
      This patch is a little more comprehensive than the last patches. It
      reorganizes cifs_follow_link a bit for (hopefully) better readability.
      It should also eliminate the uneeded allocation of full_path on servers
      without unix extensions (assuming they can get to this point anyway, of
      which I'm not convinced).
      
      On a side note, I'm not sure I agree with the logic of enabling this
      query even when unix extensions are disabled on the client. It seems
      like that should disable this as well. But, changing that is outside the
      scope of this fix, so I've left it alone for now.

      We can fix this by calling del_gendisk() later in blkfront_closing, after

      releasing the blkif_io_lock and deleting the disk.
