[PATCH] kdump proc vmcore size oveflow fix

2006-04-07T16:44:30+00:00

A couple of /proc/vmcore data structures overflow with 32bit systems having
memory more than 4G.  This patch fixes those.

[PATCH] powerpc: Add/remove/update properties in /proc/device-tree

2006-01-13T10:02:13+00:00

Add support to the proc_device_tree file for removing
and updating properties.  Remove just removes the
proc file, update changes the data pointer within
the proc file.  The remainder of the device-tree
changes occur elsewhere.

[PATCH] Fix sysctl unregistration oops (CVE-2005-2709)

2005-11-09T01:57:30+00:00

You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf// file, then
wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in
hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table.  Then fill it with pointers to your
function.  Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky,
you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode.

So this is at least an Oops and possibly more.  It does depend on an
interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would
otherwise be.

[PATCH] ppc64: SMU partition recovery

2005-11-08T00:17:40+00:00

This patch adds the ability to the SMU driver to recover missing
calibration partitions from the SMU chip itself. It also adds some
dynamic mecanism to /proc/device-tree so that new properties are visible
to userland.

[PATCH] kdump: Access dump file in elf format (/proc/vmcore)

2005-06-25T23:24:53+00:00

From: "Vivek Goyal" 

o Support for /proc/vmcore interface. This interface exports elf core image
  either in ELF32 or ELF64 format, depending on the format in which elf headers
  have been stored by crashed kernel.
o Added support for CONFIG_VMCORE config option.
o Removed the dependency on /proc/kcore.

From: "Eric W. Biederman" 

This patch has been refactored to more closely match the prevailing style in
the affected files.  And to clearly indicate the dependency between
/proc/kcore and proc/vmcore.c

From: Hariprasad Nellitheertha 

This patch contains the code that provides an ELF format interface to the
previous kernel's memory post kexec reboot.

Linux-2.6.12-rc2

2005-04-16T22:20:36+00:00

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!
