  • The /proc/pid/ "maps", "smaps", and "numa_maps" files contain sensitive
    information about the memory location and usage of processes. Issues:

    - maps should not be world-readable, especially if programs expect any
    kind of ASLR protection from local attackers.
    - maps cannot just be 0400 because "-D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -O2" makes glibc
    check the maps when %n is in a *printf call, and a setuid(getuid())
    process wouldn't be able to read its own maps file. (For reference
    see http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/1/22/150)
    - a system-wide toggle is needed to allow prior behavior in the case of
    non-root applications that depend on access to the maps contents.

    This change implements a check using "ptrace_may_attach" before allowing
    access to read the maps contents. To control this protection, the new knob
    /proc/sys/kernel/maps_protect has been added, with corresponding updates to
    the procfs documentation.

  • Add support for auxiliary displays, the ks0108 LCD controller, the
    cfag12864b LCD and adds a framebuffer device: cfag12864bfb.

    - Add a "auxdisplay/" folder in "drivers/" for auxiliary display
    drivers.

    - Add support for the ks0108 LCD Controller as a device driver. (uses
    parport interface)

    - Add support for the cfag12864b LCD as a device driver. (uses ks0108
    LCD Controller driver)

    - Add a framebuffer device called cfag12864bfb. (uses cfag12864b LCD
    driver)

    - Add the usual Documentation, includes, Makefiles, Kconfigs,
    MAINTAINERS, CREDITS...

    - Miguel Ojeda will maintain all the stuff above.

  • This modifies Makefiles and Kconfigs to properly reflect the creation of
    generic HID layer.

    It also removes the dependency of BROKEN, which was introduced by the
    first patch in series (see the comment). Also updates credits.

  • I moved from Sweden to Finland 2.5 years ago, thought it might be time
    to update my CREDITS entry (simply removing the address completely
    seemed the sanest option).

  • Whomever said...

    "When you meet someone now who is writing a compiler or hacking a Unix
    kernel, at least you know they're not just doing it to pick up chicks."

    ...has obviously never met a _Linux_ kernel hacker.

    Anyway, sometimes people confuse my email addresses, which is why I
    really should add the proper one to CREDITS ;-).

  • This fixes up a couple of conflicts when merging up with
    Linus' latest kernel. This will hopefully allow GFS2 to
    be more easily merged into forthcoming -mm and FC kernels
    due to the "one line per header" format now used for the
    kernel headers.

  • Documentation for the NetLabel system, this includes a basic overview
    of how NetLabel works, how LSM developers can integrate it into their
    favorite LSM, as well as documentation on the CIPSO related sysctl
    variables. Also, due to the difficulty of finding expired IETF
    drafts, I am including the IETF CIPSO draft that is the basis of the
    NetLabel CIPSO implementation.
