"SRC Bits[9:8] Noise source select (I): These bits control the two noise
sources on the processor that input bits to the accumulation buffers.
On Nehemiah processors prior to stepping 8, these bits are reserved

Currently, no notification event has been sent when inode's link count
changed. This is inconvenient for the application in some cases:
Suppose you have the following directory structure
foo/test
bar/
and you watch test. If someone does "mv foo/test bar/", you get event
IN_MOVE_SELF and you know something has happened with the file "test".
However if someone does "ln foo/test bar/test" and "rm foo/test" you get no
inotify event for the file "test" (only directories "foo" and "bar" receive
events).
Furthermore it could be argued that link count belongs to file's metadata and
thus IN_ATTRIB should be sent when it changes.
The following patch implements sending of IN_ATTRIB inotify events when link
count of the inode changes, i.e., when a hardlink to the inode is created or
when it is removed. This event is sent in addition to all the events sent so
far. In particular, when a last link to a file is removed, IN_ATTRIB event is
sent in addition to IN_DELETE_SELF event.

Address Roman's review comments for the previously sent on-disk
corruption hfs robustness patch.
- use 0 as a failure value, rather than making a new macro HFS_BAD_KEYLEN,
and use a switch statement instead of if's.
- Add new fail: target to __hfs_brec_find to skip assignments using bad
values when exiting with a failure.

The clean up procedure now uses platform device "release" callback to
handle memory clean up. For this purpose "release" function callback was
added to struct tpm_vendor_specific, so hw device driver provider can get
called when it is safe to remove all allocated resources.
This is supposed to fix a bug in device removal, where device while in
receive function (waiting on timeout) was prone to segfault, if the
tpm_chip struct was unallocated before the timeout expired (in
tpm_remove_hardware).

I found that there is a buffer overflow problem in the following code.
Version: 2.6.24-rc2,
File: kernel/time/clocksource.c:417-432
--------------------------------------------------------------------
static ssize_t
sysfs_show_available_clocksources(struct sys_device *dev, char *buf)
{
struct clocksource *src;
char *curr = buf;
spin_lock_irq(&clocksource_lock);
list_for_each_entry(src, &clocksource_list, list) {
curr += sprintf(curr, "%s ", src->name);
}
spin_unlock_irq(&clocksource_lock);
curr += sprintf(curr, "\n");
return curr - buf;
}
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
sysfs_show_current_clocksources() also has the same problem though in practice
the size of current clocksource's name won't exceed PAGE_SIZE.
I fix the bug by using snprintf according to the specification of the kernel
(Version:2.6.24-rc2,File:Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.txt)
Fix sysfs_show_available_clocksources() and sysfs_show_current_clocksources()
buffer overflow problem with snprintf().

smb_receive calls kernel_recvmsg with a size that's the minimum of the
amount of buffer space in the kvec passed in or req->rq_rlen (which
represents the length of the response). This does not take into account
any data that was read in a request earlier pass through smb_receive.
If the first pass through smb_receive receives some but not all of the
response, then the next pass can call kernel_recvmsg with a size field
that's too big. kernel_recvmsg can overrun into the next response,
throwing off the alignment and making it unrecognizable.
This causes messages like this to pop up in the ring buffer:
smb_get_length: Invalid NBT packet, code=69
as well as other errors indicating that the response is unrecognizable.
Typically this is seen on a smbfs mount under heavy I/O.
This patch changes the code to use (req->rq_rlen - req->rq_bytes_recvd)
instead instead of just req->rq_rlen, since that should represent the
amount of unread data in the response.
I think this is correct, but an ACK or NACK from someone more familiar
with this code would be appreciated...

Some time ago ( http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/6/19/128 ) I wrote about
MNT_UNBINDABLE that it felt like a bug that it is not reset by "mount
--make-private".
Today I happened to see mount(8) and Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt and
both document the version obtained by applying the little patch given in
the above (and again below).
So, the present kernel code is not according to specs and must be regarded
as buggy.
Specification in Documentation/sharedsubtree.txt:
See state diagram: unbindable should become private upon make-private.
Specification in mount(8):
... It's
also possible to set up uni-directional propagation (with --make-
slave), to make a mount point unavailable for --bind/--rbind (with
--make-unbindable), and to undo any of these (with --make-private).
Repeat of old fix-shared-subtrees-make-private.patch
(due to Dirk Gerrits, René Gabriëls, Peter Kooijmans):

This allows a flag to be set on loop devices so that when they are
closed for the last time, they'll self-destruct.
In general, so that we can automatically allocate loop devices (as with
losetup -f) and have them disappear when we're done with them.
In particular, right now, so that we can stop relying on the hackish
special-case in umount(8) which kills off loop devices which were set up by
'mount -oloop'. That means we can stop putting crap in /etc/mtab which
doesn't belong there, which means it can be a symlink to /proc/mounts, which
means yet another writable file on the root filesystem is eliminated and the
'stateless' folks get happier... and OLPC trac #356 can be closed.
The mount(8) side of that is at

When passing a zero address to kallsyms_lookup(), the kernel thought it was
a valid kernel address, even if it is not. This is because is_ksym_addr()
called is_kernel_extratext() and checked against labels that don't exist on
many archs (which default as zero). Since PPC was the only kernel which
defines _extra_text, (in 2005), and no longer needs it, this patch removes
_extra_text support.

I would like to potentially move the sparc64 IOMMU code over to using
the nice new drivers/pci/iova.[ch] code for free area management..
In order to do that we have to detach the IOMMU page size assumptions
which only really need to exist in the intel-iommu.[ch] code.

In the new implementation of the [sem|shm|msg]_lock[_check]() routines, we
use the return value of ipc_lock() in container_of() without any check.
But ipc_lock may return a errcode. The use of this errcode in
container_of() may alter this errcode, and we don't want this.
And in xxx_exit_ns, the pointer return by idr_find is of type 'struct
kern_ipc_per'...
Today, the code will work as is because the member used in these
container_of() is the first member of its container (offset == 0), the
errcode isn't changed then. But in the general case, we can't count on
this assumption and this may lead later to a real bug if we don't correct
this.
Again, the proposed solution is simple and correct. But, as pointed by
Nadia, with this solution, the same check will be done several times (in
all sub-callers...), what is not very funny/optimal...
