2005-10-08[PATCH] Keys: Possessor permissions should be additiveDavid Howells
This patch makes the possessor permissions on a key additive with user/group/other permissions on the same key. This permits extra rights to be granted to the possessor of a key without taking away any rights conferred by them owning the key or having common group membership.

2005-10-08[PATCH] Keys: Split key permissions checking into a .c fileDavid Howells
The attached patch splits key permissions checking out of key-ui.h and moves it into a .c file. It's quite large and called quite a lot, and it's about to get bigger with the addition of LSM support for keys... key_any_permission() is also discarded as it's no longer used.

2005-10-08[PATCH] fix do_coredump() vs SIGSTOP raceOleg Nesterov
Let's suppose we have 2 threads in thread group: A - does coredump B - has pending SIGSTOP thread A thread B do_coredump: get_signal_to_deliver: lock(->sighand) ->signal->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT unlock(->sighand) lock(->sighand) signr = dequeue_signal() ->signal->flags |= SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED return SIGSTOP; do_signal_stop: unlock(->sighand) coredump_wait: zap_threads: lock(tasklist_lock) send SIGKILL to B // signal_wake_up() does nothing unlock(tasklist_lock) lock(tasklist_lock) lock(->sighand) re-check sig->flags & SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED, yes set_current_state(TASK_STOPPED); finish_stop: schedule(); // ->state == TASK_STOPPED wait_for_completion(&startup_done) // waits for complete() from B, // ->state == TASK_UNINTERRUPTIBLE We can't wake up 'B' in any way: SIGCONT will be ignored because handle_stop_signal() sees ->signal->flags & SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT. sys_kill(SIGKILL)->__group_complete_signal() will choose uninterruptible 'A', so it can't help. sys_tkill(B, SIGKILL) will be ignored by specific_send_sig_info() because B already has pending SIGKILL. This scenario is not possbile if 'A' does do_group_exit(), because it sets sig->flags = SIGNAL_GROUP_EXIT and delivers SIGKILL to subthreads atomically, holding both tasklist_lock and sighand->lock. That means that do_signal_stop() will notice !SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED after re-locking ->sighand. And it is not possible to any other thread to re-add SIGNAL_STOP_DEQUEUED later, because dequeue_signal() can only return SIGKILL. I think it is better to change do_coredump() to do sigaddset(SIGKILL) and signal_wake_up() under sighand->lock, but this patch is much simpler.

2005-10-06Avoid 'names_cache' memory leak with CONFIG_AUDITSYSCALLLinus Torvalds
The nameidata "last.name" is always allocated with "__getname()", and should always be free'd with "__putname()". Using "putname()" without the underscores will leak memory, because the allocation will have been hidden from the AUDITSYSCALL code. Arguably the real bug is that the AUDITSYSCALL code is really broken, but in the meantime this fixes the problem people see. Reported by Robert Derr, patch by Rick Lindsley.

2005-10-06[IA64] Avoid kernel hang during CMC interrupt stormBryan Sutula
I've noticed a kernel hang during a storm of CMC interrupts, which was tracked down to the continual execution of the interrupt handler. There's code in the CMC handler that's supposed to disable CMC interrupts and switch to polling mode when it sees a bunch of CMCs. Because disabling CMCs across all CPUs isn't safe in interrupt context, the disable is done with a schedule_work(). But with continual CMC interrupts, the schedule_work() never gets executed. The following patch immediately disables CMC interrupts for the current CPU. This then allows (at least) one CPU to ignore CMC interrupts, execute the schedule_work() code, and disable CMC interrupts on the rest of the CPUs.

2005-10-05[SPARC64]: Fix initrd when net booting.David S. Miller
By allocating early memory for the firmware page tables, we can write over the beginning of the initrd image. So what we do now is: 1) Read in firmware translations table while still on the firmware's trap table. 2) Switch to Linux trap table. 3) Init bootmem. 4) Build firmware page tables using __alloc_bootmem(). And this keeps the initrd from being clobbered. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>

2005-10-05[PATCH] ppc: Fix timekeeping with HZ=250 on some Mac modelsBenjamin Herrenschmidt
Older Macs which uses the VIA chip timers to calibrate the timebase used some code that wouldn't work if HZ wasn't divisible by 100... This fixes it at least for 250. Not totally perfect but should be enough for now (so it at least works with the default value which is now 250). There is still a potential issue with the core using CLOCK_TICK_RATE to maintain xtime and CLOCK_TICK_RATE value on ppc32 is pure crap, but that is a different problem, this patch at least brings us back to our previous situation.

2005-10-04[PATCH] x86_64: Drop global bit from early low mappingsAndi Kleen
Drop global bit from early low mappings Suggested by Linus, originally also proposed by Suresh. This fixes a race condition with early start of udev, originally tracked down by Suresh B. Siddha. The problem was that switching to the user space VM would not clear the global low mappings for the beginning of memory, which lead to memory corruption. Drop the global bits.
