  • We have a customer application which trips a bug. The problem arises
    when a driver attempts to call do_munmap on an area which is mapped, but
    because current->thread.task_size has been set to 0xC0000000, the call
    to do_munmap fails thinking it is an unmap beyond the user's address
    space.

    The comment in fs/binfmt_elf.c in load_elf_library() before the call
    to SET_PERSONALITY() indicates that task_size must not be changed for
    the running application until flush_thread, but is for ia64 executing
    ia32 binaries.

    This patch moves the setting of task_size from SET_PERSONALITY() to
    flush_thread() as indicated. The customer application no longer is able
    to trip the bug.

  • Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
    even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
    archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
    3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
    git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
    infrastructure for it.

    Let it rip!
