cda402b283 [PATCH] uml: make 64-bit COW files compatible with 32-bit ones
This is the minimal fix to make 64-bit UML binaries create 32-bit compatible
COW files and read them.  I've indeed tested that current code doesn't do this
- the code gets SIGFPE for a division by a value read at the wrong place,
where 0 is found.

60baa15839 [PATCH] uml: memory hotplug cleanups
Change memory hotplug to use GFP_NOWAIT instead of GFP_ATOMIC, so that it
will grab memory without sleeping, but doesn't try to use the emergency
pools.

A small list initialization suggested by Daniel Phillips - don't initialize
lists which are just about to be list_add-ed.

04dfd0de4e [PATCH] m32r: security fix of {get,put}_user macros
Update {get,put}_user macros for m32r kernel.
- Modify get_user to use __get_user_asm macro, instead of __get_user_x macro.
- Remove arch/m32r/lib/{get,put}user.S.
- Some cosmetic updates.

I would like to thank NIIBE Yutaka for his reporting about the m32r kernel's
security problem in {get,put}_user macros.

There were no address checking for user space access in {get,put}_user macros.

7c1c4e5418 [PATCH] m32r: Fix cpu_possible_map and cpu_present_map initialization for SMP kernel
This patch fixes a boot problem of the m32r SMP kernel 2.6.16-rc1-mm3 or
later.

In this patch, cpu_possible_map is statically initialized, and cpu_present_map
is also copied from cpu_possible_map in smp_prepare_cpus(), because the m32r
architecture has not supported CPU hotplug yet.

917b1f78a9 [PATCH] alpha: SMP boot fixes
I've encountered two problems with 2.6.16 and newer kernels on my API CS20
(dual 833MHz Alpha 21264b processors).  The first is the kernel OOPSing
because of a NULL pointer dereference while trying to populate SysFS with the
CPU information.  The other is that only one processor was being brought up.
I've included a small Alpha-specific patch that fixes both problems.

The first problem was caused by the CPUs never being properly registered using
register_cpu(), the way it's done on other architectures.

The second problem has to do with the removal of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask in
arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c.  In setup_smp() in the 2.6.15 kernel sources,
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask has a bit set for each processor that is probed, and
afterwards cpu_present_mask is set to the cpumask for the boot CPU.  In the
same function of the same file in the 2.6.16 sources, instead of
hwrpb_cpu_present_mask being set, cpu_possible_map is updated for each probed
CPU.  cpu_present_mask is still set to the cpumask of the boot CPU afterwards.
 The problem lies in include/asm-alpha/smp.h, where cpu_possible_map is
#define'd to be cpu_present_mask.

Cleanups from: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru>

 - cpu_present_mask and cpu_possible_map are essentially the same thing
   on alpha, as it doesn't support CPU hotplug;
 - allocate "struct cpu" only for present CPUs, like sparc64 does.
   Static array of "struct cpu" is just a waste of memory.

6cf272acd5 [PATCH] swsusp: don't require bigsmp
Switching to automatic bigsmp causes a misleading error message, that more
then 8 cpus are detected, and user needs to select either X86_GENERICARCH
or X86_BIGSMP to handle.

Reason is we switched to bigsmp to avoid IP race when new cpu is comming
up.  [bigsmp is nothing but using physical flat mode that can work for 1 ..
 255 cpus] [default is X86_PC, that uses logical flat mode up to 8 CPUs
max] Current x86_64 code uses bigsmp as default when hotplug is enabled.

It would be preferable to make bigsmp as default, and work the dependencies
of other related code like SMP_SUSPEND, and some related to memory hotplug
code for i386.

Current logical flat mode doesnt use shortcuts that cause the race by using
the send_IPI_mask() instead of shortcuts when HOTPLUG_CPU is enabled.

In the meantime this patch is the path of lease resistance.

We will switch to bigsmp default sometime soon, when we get to work it again.

3016b42153 [PATCH] frv: define MMU mode specific syscalls as 'cond_syscall' and clean up unneeded macros
For some architectures, a few syscalls are not linked in noMMU mode.  In
that case, the MMU depending syscalls are needed to be defined as
'cond_syscall'.  For example, ARM architecture selectively links sys_mlock
by the mode configuration.

In case of FRV, it has been managed by #ifdef CONFIG_MMU macro in
arch/frv/kernel/entry.S.  However these conditional macros are just
duplicates if they were defined as cond_syscall.  Compilation test is done
with FRV toolchains for both of MMU and noMMU mode.

Patch from Catalin Marinas

This patch changes the double registers numbering to 0-15 from even 0-30,
in preparation for future VFP extensions. It also fixes the VFP_REG_ZERO
bug (value 16 actually represents the 8th double register with the original
numbering).

The original mcrr/mrrc on CP10 were generating FMRRS/FMSRR instead of
FMRRD/FMDRR. The patch changes to CP11 for the correct instructions.

66004a6ca2 Move request_standard_resources() back to before PCI probing
This effectively undoes the PCI resource allocation changes done in
commit b408cbc704, but leaves the cleanups
of that commit in place.

We're going back to marking the resources reported by e820 busy _before_
doing PCI probing, so that any PCI resource that clashes with the BIOS-
reported memory map will be reloacted to a non-clashing area.

The reason? Larry Finger reports that his laptop has the cardbus
controller set up by the BIOS so that it conflicts with the e820 memory
map, and needs to be relocated. See

   http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6337

for more details.

We'll have to work out how to handle the fbcon problem that caused that
commit in the first place in some other way.

97c2803c9c [PATCH] x86_64: Plug GS leak in arch_prctl()
In linux-2.6.16, we have noticed a problem where the gs base value
returned from an arch_prtcl(ARCH_GET_GS, ...) call will be incorrect if:

   - the current/calling task has NOT set its own gs base yet to a
     non-zero value,

   - some other task that ran on the same processor previously set their
     own gs base to a non-zero value.

In this situation, the ARCH_GET_GS code will read and return the
MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE msr register.

However, since the __switch_to() code does NOT load/zero the
MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE register when the task that is switched IN has a zero
next->gs value, the caller of arch_prctl(ARCH_GET_GS, ...) will get back
the value of some previous tasks's gs base value instead of 0.

    Change the arch_prctl() ARCH_GET_GS code to only read and return
    the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE msr register if the 'gs' register of the calling
    task is non-zero.

    Side note: Since in addition to using arch_prctl(ARCH_SET_GS, ...),
    a task can also setup a gs base value by using modify_ldt() and write
    an index value into 'gs' from user space, the patch below reads
    'gs' instead of using thread.gs, since in the modify_ldt() case,
    the thread.gs value will be 0, and incorrect value would be returned
    (the task->thread.gs value).

    When the user has not set its own gs base value and the 'gs'
    register is zero, then the MSR_KERNEL_GS_BASE register will not be
    read and a value of zero will be returned by reading and returning
    'task->thread.gs'.

    The first patch shown below is an attempt at implementing this
    approach.

b20367a6c2 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix drift with HPET timer enabled
If the HPET timer is enabled, the clock can drift by ~3 seconds a day.
This is due to the HPET timer not being initialized with the correct
setting (still using PIT count).

If HZ changes, this drift can become even more pronounced.

HPET patch initializes tick_nsec with correct tick_nsec settings for
HPET timer.

Vojtech comments:

  "It's not entirely correct (it assumes the HPET ticks totally
   exactly), but it's significantly better than assuming the PIT error
   there."

8c30b1a74a [PATCH] i386/x86_64: Check if MCFG works for the first 16 busses
Previously only the first bus would be checked against Type 1.

Why 16? Checking all would need too much memory and we
can assume that systems with more than 16 busses have better than
average quality BIOS.

This is an additional defense against bad MCFG tables.

7bf36bbc5e [PATCH] x86_64: When user could have changed RIP always force IRET
Intel EM64T CPUs handle uncanonical return addresses differently
from AMD CPUs.

The exception is reported in the SYSRET, not the next instruction.
This leads to the kernel exception handler running on the user stack
with the wrong GS because the kernel didn't expect exceptions
on this instruction.

This version of the patch has the teething problems that plagued an earlier
version fixed.

This is CVE-2006-0744

95d769aaf4 [PATCH] i386: Consolidate modern APIC handling
AMD systems have a modern APIC that supports 8 bit IDs, but
don't have a XAPIC version number.  Add a new "modern_apic"
subfunction that handles this correctly and use it (nearly)
everywhere where XAPIC is tested for.

I removed one wart: the code specified that external APICs
would use an 8bit APIC ID. But I checked a real 82093 data sheet
and it says clearly that they only use 4bit. So I removed
this special case since it would a bit awkward to implement now.

I removed the valid APIC tests in mptable parsing completely. On any modern
system they only check against the full field width (8bit) anyways
and are no-ops. This also fixes them doing the wrong thing
on >8 core Opterons.

This makes i386 boot again on 16 core Opterons.

d3b6a349d2 [PATCH] x86-64/i386: Don't process APICs/IO-APICs in ACPI when APIC is disabled.
When nolapic was passed or the local APIC was disabled
for another reason ACPI would still parse the IO-APICs
until these were explicitely disabled with noapic.

Usually this resulted in a non booting configuration unless
"nolapic noapic" was used.

I also disabled the local APIC parsing in this case, although
that's only cosmetic (suppresses a few printks)

This hopefully makes nolapic work in all cases.
