all arches, signal: move restart_block to struct task_struct

2015-02-13T02:54:12+00:00

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting
the restart block is a very juicy exploit target.  This is because the
restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack.

Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by
making the restart_block harder to locate.

Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy
targets, at least on some architectures.

It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less
identical on all architectures.

Merge git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/davem/net-next

2015-02-11T04:01:30+00:00

Pull networking updates from David Miller:

 1) More iov_iter conversion work from Al Viro.

    [ The "crypto: switch af_alg_make_sg() to iov_iter" commit was
      wrong, and this pull actually adds an extra commit on top of the
      branch I'm pulling to fix that up, so that the pre-merge state is
      ok.   - Linus ]

 2) Various optimizations to the ipv4 forwarding information base trie
    lookup implementation.  From Alexander Duyck.

 3) Remove sock_iocb altogether, from CHristoph Hellwig.

 4) Allow congestion control algorithm selection via routing metrics.
    From Daniel Borkmann.

 5) Make ipv4 uncached route list per-cpu, from Eric Dumazet.

 6) Handle rfs hash collisions more gracefully, also from Eric Dumazet.

 7) Add xmit_more support to r8169, e1000, and e1000e drivers.  From
    Florian Westphal.

 8) Transparent Ethernet Bridging support for GRO, from Jesse Gross.

 9) Add BPF packet actions to packet scheduler, from Jiri Pirko.

10) Add support for uniqu flow IDs to openvswitch, from Joe Stringer.

11) New NetCP ethernet driver, from Muralidharan Karicheri and Wingman
    Kwok.

12) More sanely handle out-of-window dupacks, which can result in
    serious ACK storms.  From Neal Cardwell.

13) Various rhashtable bug fixes and enhancements, from Herbert Xu,
    Patrick McHardy, and Thomas Graf.

14) Support xmit_more in be2net, from Sathya Perla.

15) Group Policy extensions for vxlan, from Thomas Graf.

16) Remove Checksum Offload support for vxlan, from Tom Herbert.

17) Like ipv4, support lockless transmit over ipv6 UDP sockets.  From
    Vlad Yasevich.

microblaze: intc: Reformat output

2015-01-08T07:37:24+00:00

A message was using pr_info level output for a message including "ERROR"
which is not really a fatal error.
Remove the 'ERROR' from that message, use pr_warn loglevel and add the
function name to the output to give users a chance to find the culprit
in case the warning triggers.

microblaze: Add missing PVR version codes

2015-01-08T07:37:21+00:00

PVR version code was missing in the cpu_ver_lookup table for the following
versions: 8.50.b 8.50.c 9.2 9.3

This caused /proc/cpuinfo to display "CPU-Ver: Unknown" for these versions.

This was detected and the patch tested with MicroBlaze version 8.50.c.
The other codes were taken from the Xilinx MicroBlaze Processor Reference
Guides UG081 (v14.7) and UG984 (v2014.1).
