[PATCH] fix ppid bug in 2.6.18 kernel

2006-09-11T17:32:04+00:00

Hello,

During some troubleshooting, I found that ppid was accidentally omitted from
the legacy rule section. This resulted in EINVAL for any rule with ppid sent
with AUDIT_ADD.

[PATCH] Use the correct restart option for futex_lock_pi

2006-09-08T17:22:50+00:00

The current implementation of futex_lock_pi returns -ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK
in case that the lock operation has been interrupted by a signal.  This
results in a return of -EINTR to userspace in case there is an handler for
the signal.  This is wrong, because userspace expects that the lock
function does not return in any case of signal delivery.

This was not caught by my insufficient test case, but triggered a nasty
userspace problem in an high load application scenario.  Unfortunately also
glibc does not check for this invalid return value.

Using -ERSTARTNOINTR makes sure, that the interrupted syscall is restarted.
 The restart block related code can be safely removed, as the possible
timeout argument is an absolute time value.

[PATCH] prevent swsusp with PAE

2006-09-06T18:00:02+00:00

PAE + swsusp results in hard-to-debug crash about 50% of time during
resume.  Cause is known, fix needs to be ported from x86-64 (but we can't
make it to 2.6.18, and I'd like this to be worked around in 2.6.18).

[PATCH] lockdep ifdef fix

2006-09-06T18:00:01+00:00

With

	CONFIG_SMP=y
	CONFIG_PREEMPT=y
	CONFIG_LOCKDEP=y
	CONFIG_DEBUG_LOCK_ALLOC=y
	# CONFIG_PROVE_LOCKING is not set

spin_unlock_irqrestore() goes through lockdep but spin_lock_irqsave() doesn't.
Apparently, bad things happen.

[PATCH] eligible_child: remove an obsolete ->tgid check

2006-09-02T21:51:27+00:00

It is not possible to find a sub-thread in ->children/->ptrace_children
lists, ptrace_attach() does not allow to attach to sub-threads.

Even if it was possible to ptrace the task from the same thread group,
we can't allow to release ->group_leader while there are others (ptracer)
threads in the same group.
