Duane Griffin f33219b7a9 ufs: don't truncate longer ufs2 fast symlinks
ufs2 fast symlinks can be twice as long as ufs ones, however the code
was using the ufs size in various places. Fix that so ufs2 symlinks over
60 characters aren't truncated.

Note that we copy the entire area instead of using the maxsymlinklen field
from the superblock. This way we will be more robust against corruption (of
the superblock).

While we are at it, use memcpy instead of open-coding it with for loops.

Christoph Hellwig 2b1c6bd77d generic compat_sys_ustat
Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
currently only x86 and mips provide one.  Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
and switch all architectures over to it.  Instead of doing various
user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
it's trivial.  This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't
previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to.  Certain
architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation
formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading.

While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the
previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

Miklos Szeredi 53da1d9456 fix ptrace slowness
This patch fixes bug #12208:

  Bug-Entry       : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208
  Subject         : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host

This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already
existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler
changes.

The problem is this:

 - task A is ptracing task B
 - task B stops on a trace event
 - task A is woken up and preempts task B
 - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach()
 - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq
 - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy
 - ...

Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add
up to make it slow as hell.

This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after
ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer.

Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback.

This patch fixes the issue by removing offending (and somewhat
duplicate) code from init_phy() routine, and changes _probe()
function to use uec_mdio_bus_name().

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine,
we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in
ucc_geth_info structure.

I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only
way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been
tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions
expected.

David Brownell e3162d381f dm9000: locking bugfix
This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver.  It calls
request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is
correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that
behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs.  However, its
IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked.
So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the
IRQ handler.

NOTE:  this is a classic example of the type of bug which
lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED
on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag.

Tyler Hicks 8faece5f90 eCryptfs: Allocate a variable number of pages for file headers
When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a
single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page().
However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or
ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is
stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front
field.

ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using
num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to
the lower filesystem for the file header.  Unfortunately, at least 8K
was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single,
zeroed page being smaller than 8K.  This resulted in random areas of
kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets
in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K.

This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with
num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages
along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents().

Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with
me to find the problem.  2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this
vulnerability.  Corresponds to CVE-2009-0787

Benjamin Herrenschmidt 18a0d89e54 radeonfb: Whack the PCI PM register until it sticks
This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core
pci_set_power_state().  The chip seems to need the state to be written
over and over again until it sticks, so we do that.

Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc...  but that's
pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to
be before the regression.  I still add a call to pci_set_power_state()
at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86.

Jeff Moyer 65c24491b4 aio: lookup_ioctx can return the wrong value when looking up a bogus context
The libaio test harness turned up a problem whereby lookup_ioctx on a
bogus io context was returning the 1 valid io context from the list
(harness/cases/3.p).

Because of that, an extra put_iocontext was done, and when the process
exited, it hit a BUG_ON in the put_iocontext macro called from exit_aio
(since we expect a users count of 1 and instead get 0).

The problem was introduced by "aio: make the lookup_ioctx() lockless"
(commit abf137dd77).

Thanks to Zach for pointing out that hlist_for_each_entry_rcu will not
return with a NULL tpos at the end of the loop, even if the entry was
not found.

Davide Libenzi 87c3a86e1c eventfd: remove fput() call from possible IRQ context
Remove a source of fput() call from inside IRQ context.  Myself, like Eric,
wasn't able to reproduce an fput() call from IRQ context, but Jeff said he was
able to, with the attached test program.  Independently from this, the bug is
conceptually there, so we might be better off fixing it.  This patch adds an
optimization similar to the one we already do on ->ki_filp, on ->ki_eventfd.
Playing with ->f_count directly is not pretty in general, but the alternative
here would be to add a brand new delayed fput() infrastructure, that I'm not
sure is worth it.

Linus Torvalds d0115552cd Move cc-option to below arch-specific setup
Sam Ravnborg says:
 "We have several architectures that plays strange games with $(CC) and
  $(CROSS_COMPILE).

  So we need to postpone any use of $(call cc-option..) until we have
  included the arch specific Makefile so we try with the correct $(CC)
  version."

Linus Torvalds a8e7d49aa7 Fix race in create_empty_buffers() vs __set_page_dirty_buffers()
Nick Piggin noticed this (very unlikely) race between setting a page
dirty and creating the buffers for it - we need to hold the mapping
private_lock until we've set the page dirty bit in order to make sure
that create_empty_buffers() might not build up a set of buffers without
the dirty bits set when the page is dirty.

I doubt anybody has ever hit this race (and it didn't solve the issue
Nick was looking at), but as Nick says: "Still, it does appear to solve
a real race, which we should close."

Linus Torvalds 68df3755e3 Add '-fwrapv' to gcc CFLAGS
This makes sure that gcc doesn't try to optimize away wrapping
arithmetic, which the kernel occasionally uses for overflow testing, ie
things like

	if (ptr + offset < ptr)

which technically is undefined for non-unsigned types. See

	http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12597

for details.

Not all versions of gcc support it, so we need to make it conditional
(it looks like it was introduced in gcc-3.4).

Mikulas Patocka 192d7a4667 sparc64: Fix crash with /proc/iomem
When you compile kernel on Sparc64 with heap memory checking and type
"cat /proc/iomem", you get a crash, because pointers in struct
resource are uninitialized.

Most code fills struct resource with zeros, so I assume that it is
responsibility of the caller of request_resource to initialized it,
not the responsibility of request_resource functuion.

After 2.6.29 is out, there could be a check for uninitialized fields
added to request_resource to avoid crashes like this.
