Hi,
The patch below builds upon the patch sent earlier and adds subject label to
all audit events generated via the netlink interface. It also cleans up a few
other minor things.Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb

The below patch should be applied after the inode and ipc sid patches.
This patch is a reworking of Tim's patch that has been updated to match
the inode and ipc patches since its similar.[updated:

Hi,
The patch below converts IPC auditing to collect sid's and convert to context
string only if it needs to output an audit record. This patch depends on the
inode audit change patch already being applied.Signed-off-by: Steve Grubb

Previously, we were gathering the context instead of the sid. Now in this patch,
we gather just the sid and convert to context only if an audit event is being
output.This patch brings the performance hit from 146% down to 23%

This patch provides the ability to filter audit messages based on the
elements of the process' SELinux context (user, role, type, mls sensitivity,
and mls clearance). It uses the new interfaces from selinux to opaquely
store information related to the selinux context and to filter based on that
information. It also uses the callback mechanism provided by selinux to
refresh the information when a new policy is loaded.Signed-off-by: Al Viro
-
The following patch provides selinux interfaces that will allow the audit
system to perform filtering based on the process context (user, role, type,
sensitivity, and clearance). These interfaces will allow the selinux
module to perform efficient matches based on lower level selinux constructs,
rather than relying on context retrievals and string comparisons within
the audit module. It also allows for dominance checks on the mls portion
of the contexts that are impossible with only string comparisons.Signed-off-by: Darrel Goeddel

now we can do that - all callers are process-synchronous and do not hold
any locks.Signed-off-by: Al Viro

This patch disables and saves local interrupts during
hash_page processing for SPE contexts.We have to do it explicitly in the spu_irq_class_1_bottom
function. For the interrupt handlers, we get the behaviour
implicitly by using SA_INTERRUPT to disable interrupts while
in the handler.Signed-off-by: Arnd Bergmann

As reported in Bugzilla Bug 6406, resume from S3 results in a blank screen.
For the IBM Thinkpad X30 using vesafb as the console driver, successful resume
from S3 requires option acpi_sleep=s3_bios,s3_mode. Update documentation.I would presume that, in any hardware, using vesafb as the console driver will
require as a minimum s3_mode.Signed-off-by: Antonino Daplas

Generate new sysfs-attribute 'uid' that contains an device specific unique
identifier. This can be used to identity multiple ALIASES of the same
physical device (PAV). In addition the sysfs-attributes 'vendor' (containing
the manufacturer of the device) and 'alias' (identify alias or base device) is
added. This is first part of PAV support in LPAR (also valid on zVM).Signed-off-by: Horst Hummel

In case of an instruction processing damage (IPD) machine check in kernel mode

With CONFIG_SLAB_DEBUG=y networking over qeth doesn't work. The problem is
that the qib structure embedded in the qeth_irq structure needs an alignment
of 256 but kmalloc only guarantees an alignment of 8. When using SLAB
debugging the alignment of qeth_irq is not sufficient for the embedded qib
structure which causes all users of qdio (qeth and zfcp) to stop working.
Allocate qeth_irq structure with __get_free_page. That wastes a small amount
of memory (~2500 bytes) per online adapter.Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

The dasd state machine is not designed to enable an unformatted device, since
'unformatted' is a final state. The BIODASDENABLE ioctl calls
dasd_enable_device() which never returns if the device is in this special
state. Return -EPERM in dasd_increase_state for unformatted devices to make
dasd_enable_device terminate. Note: To get such an unformatted device online
it has to be re-analyzed. This means that the device needs to be disabled
prior to re-enablement.Signed-off-by: Horst Hummel

Avoid memory allocation with GFP_KERNEL in qdio_establish/qdio_shutdown. Use

If a signal handler has been established with the SA_ONSTACK option but no
alternate stack is provided with sigaltstack(), the kernel still tries to
install the alternate stack. Also when setting an alternate stack with
sigalstack() and the SS_DISABLE flag, the kernel tries to install the
alternate stack on signal delivery. Use the correct conditions sas_ss_flags()
to check if the alternate stack has to be used.Signed-off-by: Laurent Meyer

Running abnormal VM splits causes weird problems - people can set non-standard
splits by accident, then lots of time gets wasted diagnosing it - see the long
"[stable] 2.6.16.6 breaks java... sort of" email thread.So we need to make this option harder to set. Use CONFIG_EMBEDDED for this.
CONFIG_EMBEDDED isn't really the right thing to use, but there's nothing else
obvious and avoiding these problems is more important than Kconfig purity.Signed-off-by: Andi Kleen

CPU_HOTPLUG has race conditions when we use broadcast mode IPI.
- First we introduced no_broadcast option
(see include/asm-i386/mach-default/mach_ipi.h)- x86_64 solved it by using physical flat mode (same as bigsmp on i386)
since this will not use broadcast shortcuts for IPI.- We switched to use bigsmp on i386 so that we can have same handling as
x86_64, but apparently this caused an error message, if kernel was
compiled without X86_GENERICARCH, X86_BIGSMP. The message "You have >8
CPUS..." which was bogus and misleading, and only indicated one of the
above ARCH wasnt selected.So we do not switch to automatic bigsmp for HOTPLUG_CPU support in i386
until the other related config dependencies for SMP_SUSPEND etc can be done
right.Signed-off-by: Ashok Raj
