      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.

      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.

      nfs: Fix NFS v4 client handling of MAY_EXEC in nfs_permission. · 7ee2cb7f
      Frank Filz authored 
      The problem is that permission checking is skipped if atomic open is
possible, but when exec opens a file, it just opens it O_READONLY which
means EXEC permission will not be checked at that time.

This problem is observed by the following sequence (executed as root):

  mount -t nfs4 server:/ /mnt4
  echo "ls" >/mnt4/foo
  chmod 744 /mnt4/foo
  su guest -c "mnt4/foo"
