xtensa: prevent arbitrary read in ptrace

2011-08-05T04:58:39+00:00

commit 0d0138ebe24b94065580bd2601f8bb7eb6152f56 upstream.

Prevent an arbitrary kernel read.  Check the user pointer with access_ok()
before copying data in.

Merge branch 'setns'

2011-05-28T17:51:01+00:00

* setns:
  ns: Wire up the setns system call

Done as a merge to make it easier to fix up conflicts in arm due to
addition of sendmmsg system call

ns: Wire up the setns system call

2011-05-28T17:48:39+00:00

32bit and 64bit on x86 are tested and working.  The rest I have looked
at closely and I can't find any problems.

setns is an easy system call to wire up.  It just takes two ints so I
don't expect any weird architecture porting problems.

While doing this I have noticed that we have some architectures that are
very slow to get new system calls.  cris seems to be the slowest where
the last system calls wired up were preadv and pwritev.  avr32 is weird
in that recvmmsg was wired up but never declared in unistd.h.  frv is
behind with perf_event_open being the last syscall wired up.  On h8300
the last system call wired up was epoll_wait.  On m32r the last system
call wired up was fallocate.  mn10300 has recvmmsg as the last system
call wired up.  The rest seem to at least have syncfs wired up which was
new in the 2.6.39.

v2: Most of the architecture support added by Daniel Lezcano 
v3: ported to v2.6.36-rc4 by: Eric W. Biederman 
v4: Moved wiring up of the system call to another patch
v5: ported to v2.6.39-rc6
v6: rebased onto parisc-next and net-next to avoid syscall  conflicts.
v7: ported to Linus's latest post 2.6.39 tree.

Oh - ia64 wiring looks good.

arch: remove CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_{NEXT_BIT,BIT_LE,LAST_BIT}

2011-05-27T00:12:38+00:00

By the previous style change, CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_NEXT_BIT,
CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_BIT_LE, and CONFIG_GENERIC_FIND_LAST_BIT are not used
to test for existence of find bitops anymore.

xtensa/mm: remove WANT_PAGE_VIRTUAL

2011-05-25T15:39:02+00:00

This is not useful: it provides page->virtual and is used with highmem.
xtensa has no support for highmem and those HIGHMEM bits which are found
by grep are partly implemented.  The interesting functions like kmap() are
missing.  If someone actually implements the complete HIGHMEM support he
could use HASHED_PAGE_VIRTUAL like most others do.

It is not referenced by any Makefile.  pte_alloc_one_kernel() and
pte_alloc_one() is implemented in arch/xtensa/include/asm/pgalloc.h.

Merge branch 'for-2.6.40' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu

2011-05-24T18:53:42+00:00

* 'for-2.6.40' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu:
  percpu: Unify input section names
  percpu: Avoid extra NOP in percpu_cmpxchg16b_double
  percpu: Cast away printk format warning
  percpu: Always align percpu output section to PAGE_SIZE

Fix up fairly trivial conflict in arch/x86/include/asm/percpu.h as per Tejun

Merge branch 'master' into for-next

2011-04-26T08:22:59+00:00

Fast-forwarded to current state of Linus' tree as there are patches to be
applied for files that didn't exist on the old branch.
