  • Woo-hoo. I'm sure somebody will report a "this doesn't compile, and
    I have a new root exploit" five minutes after release, but it still
    feels good ;)

    qd65xx: fix PIO mode selection
    sis5513: adding PCI-ID

  • Commit 1c710c896eb461895d3c399e15bb5f20b39c9073 added the utimensat()
    system call, but didn't handle the case of checking for the writability
    of the target right, when the target was a file descriptor, not a
    filename.

    We cannot use vfs_permission(MAY_WRITE) for that case, and need to
    simply check whether the file descriptor is writable. The oops from
    using the wrong function was noticed and narrowed down by Markus
    Trippelsdorf.

  • Fix a post-2.6.21 regression.

    read_cache_page_async() has two invocations of mark_page_accessed() which will
    launch pages right onto the active list.

    Remove the first one, keeping the latter one. This avoids marking unwanted
    pages active (in the retry loop).

  • PIO4 is a maximum PIO mode supported by a driver. Using "255" as a max_mode
    argument to ide_get_best_pio_mode() could result in wrong timings being used
    by a driver (for "pio" equal to 5) or OOPS (for "pio" values > 5 && < 255).

  • The SiS966 has one additional PCI-ID 1180.

    If the chipset is using this PCI-ID, the primary channel is connected to the
    first PATA-port. The secondary channel is connected to SATA-ports in IDE
    emulation mode. The legacy IO-ports are used.

    The including of the PCI-ID into pata_sis is not sufficient, because the legacy
    driver in drivers/ide is initialized before pata_sis.

    It also never printed a \n at all in the case where we didn't do

  • When cleaning up HIDP sessions, we currently close the ACL connection
    before deregistering the input device. Closing the ACL connection
    schedules a workqueue to remove the associated objects from sysfs, but
    the input device still refers to them -- and if the workqueue happens to
    run before the input device removal, the kernel will oops when trying to
    look up PHYSDEVPATH for the removed input device.

    Fix this by deregistering the input device before closing the
    connections.

  • In 7d12e780e003f93433d49ce78cfedf4b4c52adc5 David Howells performed
    this evolution:
    "IRQ: Maintain regs pointer globally rather than passing to IRQ handlers"

    He correctly updated many of the function definitions that were using this
    extra regs pointer parameter but forgot to update some caller sites of
    those functions. The reason the modifications was not properly done on all
    drivers is that some drivers were rarely compiled because they are for
    AMIGA, or that some code sites were inside #ifdefs where the option is not
    set or inside #if 0.

    Here is the semantic patch that found the occurences
    and fixed the problem.

  • When we enable the SMCf010 IR device, the Toshiba Portege 4000 BIOS claims
    the device is working, but it really isn't configured correctly. The BIOS
    *will* configure it, but only if we call _SRS after (1) reversing the order
    of the SIR and FIR I/O port regions and (2) changing the IRQ from
    active-high to active-low.

    This patch addresses the 2.6.22 regression:
    "no irda0 interface (2.6.21 was OK), smsc does not find chip"

    I tested this on a Portege 4000. The smsc-ircc2 driver correctly detects
    the device, and "irattach irda0 -s && irdadump" shows transmitted and
    received packets.

  • A bug in headers_install for ARCH=x86_64 yields an asm/ directory full of
    files all of which are using the same #ifdef guard, "__ASM_STUB_" with no
    postfix. So the second and later asm files #included in the same C file
    (often through standard headers like ioctl.h) yields no symbols.

    Strangeness with the Ubuntu 'tell me if I support something that's not
    explcitly mentioned in POSIX, and I'll strip it out' shell, I believe.

    We don't need the 'export' but we do need a semicolon at the end of the
    FNAME line:

  • Processors synchronization in set_mtrr requires the .gate field to be set
    after .count field is properly initialized. Without an explicit barrier,
    the compiler was reordering those memory stores. That was sometimes
    causing a processor (in ipi_handler) to see the .gate change and decrement
    .count before the latter is set by set_mtrr() (which then hangs in a
    infinite loop with irqs disabled).

  • The commit 635cf99a80f4ebee59d70eb64bb85ce829e4591f introduced a
    regression. Executing a ptrace single step after certain int80
    accesses will infinitely loop and never advance the PC.

    The TIF_SINGLESTEP check should be done on the return from the syscall
    and not before it.

    I loops on each single step on the pop right after the int80 which writes out
    to the console. At that point you can issue as many single steps as you want
    and it will not advance any further.

    The test case is below:

    /* Test whether singlestep through an int80 syscall works.
    */
    #define _GNU_SOURCE
    #include
    #include
    #include
    #include
    #include
    #include
    #include
    #include

    static int child, status;
    static struct user_regs_struct regs;

    static void do_child()
    {
    char str[80] = "child: int80 test\n";

    ptrace(PTRACE_TRACEME, 0, 0, 0);
    kill(getpid(), SIGUSR1);
    write(fileno(stdout),str,strlen(str));
    asm ("int $0x80" : : "a" (20)); /* getpid */
    }

    static void do_parent()
    {
    unsigned long eip, expected = 0;
    again:
    waitpid(child, &status, 0);
    if (WIFEXITED(status) || WIFSIGNALED(status))
    return;

    if (WIFSTOPPED(status)) {
    ptrace(PTRACE_GETREGS, child, 0, ®s);
    eip = regs.eip;
    if (expected)
    fprintf(stderr, "child stop @ %08lx, expected %08lx %s\n",
    eip, expected,
    eip == expected ? "" : "
