>From http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=6358 The alim15x3.c havn't been update for 3 years. Recently when we use this "ULI M1573" south bridge chip found that can't mount CDROM(VCD) smoothly, must waiting for a long time. After I check the "ULI M1573" south bridge datasheet, I found the reason. The reason is the "ULI M1573" version in the Linux is "0xC7" not "0xC4" anymore So I was modified the source than it was successed.

2006-04-24[PATCH] Fix file lookup without refDipankar Sarma
There are places in the kernel where we look up files in fd tables and access the file structure without holding refereces to the file. So, we need special care to avoid the race between looking up files in the fd table and tearing down of the file in another CPU. Otherwise, one might see a NULL f_dentry or such torn down version of the file. This patch fixes those special places where such a race may happen.

2006-04-24[PATCH] x86: don't allow tail-calls in sys_ftruncate[64]()Linus Torvalds
x86: don't allow tail-calls in sys_ftruncate[64]() Gcc thinks it owns the incoming argument stack, but that's not true for "asmlinkage" functions, and it corrupts the caller-set-up argument stack when it pushes the third argument onto the stack. Which can result in %ebx getting corrupted in user space. Now, normally nobody sane would ever notice, since libc will save and restore %ebx anyway over the system call, but it's still wrong. I'd much rather have "asmlinkage" tell gcc directly that it doesn't own the stack, but no such attribute exists, so we're stuck with our hacky manual "prevent_tail_call()" macro once more (we've had the same issue before with sys_waitpid() and sys_wait4()).

2006-04-24[PATCH] Fix truesize underflowHerbert Xu
[TCP]: Fix truesize underflow There is a problem with the TSO packet trimming code. The cause of this lies in the tcp_fragment() function. When we allocate a fragment for a completely non-linear packet the truesize is calculated for a payload length of zero. This means that truesize could in fact be less than the real payload length. When that happens the TSO packet trimming can cause truesize to become negative. This in turn can cause sk_forward_alloc to be -n * PAGE_SIZE which would trigger the warning. I've copied the code DaveM used in tso_fragment which should work here.

2006-04-18[PATCH] i386/x86-64: Fix x87 information leak between processes (CVE-2006-1056)Andi Kleen
AMD K7/K8 CPUs only save/restore the FOP/FIP/FDP x87 registers in FXSAVE when an exception is pending. This means the value leak through context switches and allow processes to observe some x87 instruction state of other processes. This was actually documented by AMD, but nobody recognized it as being different from Intel before. The fix first adds an optimization: instead of unconditionally calling FNCLEX after each FXSAVE test if ES is pending and skip it when not needed. Then do a x87 load from a kernel variable to clear FOP/FIP/FDP. This means other processes always will only see a constant value defined by the kernel in their FP state. I took some pain to make sure to chose a variable that's already in L1 during context switch to make the overhead of this low. Also alternative() is used to patch away the new code on CPUs who don't need it. Patch for both i386/x86-64. The problem was discovered originally by Jan Beulich. Richard Brunner provided the basic code for the workarounds, with contribution from Jan.

2006-04-17[PATCH] shmat: stop mprotect from giving write permission to a readonly ↵Hugh Dickins
attachment (CVE-2006-1524) I found that all of 2.4 and 2.6 have been letting mprotect give write permission to a readonly attachment of shared memory, whether or not IPC would give the caller that permission. SUS says "The behaviour of this function [mprotect] is unspecified if the mapping was not established by a call to mmap", but I don't think we can interpret that as allowing it to subvert IPC permissions. I haven't tried 2.2, but the 2.2.26 source looks like it gets it right; and the patch below reproduces that behaviour - mprotect cannot be used to add write permission to a shared memory segment attached readonly. This patch is simple, and I'm sure it's what we should have done in 2.4.0: if you want to go on to switch write permission on and off with mprotect, just don't attach the segment readonly in the first place. However, we could have accumulated apps which attach readonly (even though they would be permitted to attach read/write), and which subsequently use mprotect to switch write permission on and off: it's not unreasonable. I was going to add a second ipcperms check in do_shmat, to check for writable when readonly, and if not writable find_vma and clear VM_MAYWRITE. But security_ipc_permission might do auditing, and it seems wrong to report an attempt for write permission when there has been none. Or we could flag the vma as SHM, note the shmid or shp in vm_private_data, and then get mprotect to check. But the patch below is a lot simpler: I'd rather stick with it, if we can convince ourselves somehow that it'll be safe.

2006-04-17[PATCH] Incorrect signature sent on SMB ReadSteve French
Fixes Samba bug 3621 and kernel.org bug 6147 For servers which require SMB/CIFS packet signing, we were sending the wrong signature (all zeros) on SMB Read request. The new cifs routine to do signatures across an iovec was not complete - and SMB Read, unlike the new SMBWrite2, did not fall back to the older routine (ie use SendReceive vs. the more efficient SendReceive2 ie used the older cifs_sign_smb vs. the disabled cifs_sign_smb2) for calculating signatures. This finishes up cifs_sign_smb2/cifs_calc_signature2 so that the callers of SendReceive2 can get SMB/CIFS packet signatures. Now that cifs_sign_smb2 is supported, we could start using it in the write path but this smaller fix does not include the change to use SMBWrite2 when signatures are required (which when enabled will make more Writes more efficient and alloc less memory). Currently Write2 is only used when signatures are not required at the moment but after more testing we will enable that as well). Thanks to James Slepicka and Sam Flory for initial investigation.

2006-04-17[PATCH] RLIMIT_CPU: fix handling of a zero limitAndrew Morton
At present the kernel doesn't honour an attempt to set RLIMIT_CPU to zero seconds. But the spec says it should, and that's what 2.4.x does. Fixing this for real would involve some complexity (such as adding a new it-has-been-set flag to the task_struct, and testing that everwhere, instead of overloading the value of it_prof_expires). Given that a 2.4 kernel won't actually send the signal until one second has expired anyway, let's just handle this case by treating the caller's zero-seconds as one second.

2006-04-17[PATCH] alpha: SMP boot fixesBrian Uhrain says
I've encountered two problems with 2.6.16 and newer kernels on my API CS20 (dual 833MHz Alpha 21264b processors). The first is the kernel OOPSing because of a NULL pointer dereference while trying to populate SysFS with the CPU information. The other is that only one processor was being brought up. I've included a small Alpha-specific patch that fixes both problems. The first problem was caused by the CPUs never being properly registered using register_cpu(), the way it's done on other architectures. The second problem has to do with the removal of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask in arch/alpha/kernel/smp.c. In setup_smp() in the 2.6.15 kernel sources, hwrpb_cpu_present_mask has a bit set for each processor that is probed, and afterwards cpu_present_mask is set to the cpumask for the boot CPU. In the same function of the same file in the 2.6.16 sources, instead of hwrpb_cpu_present_mask being set, cpu_possible_map is updated for each probed CPU. cpu_present_mask is still set to the cpumask of the boot CPU afterwards. The problem lies in include/asm-alpha/smp.h, where cpu_possible_map is #define'd to be cpu_present_mask. Cleanups from: Ivan Kokshaysky <ink@jurassic.park.msu.ru> - cpu_present_mask and cpu_possible_map are essentially the same thing on alpha, as it doesn't support CPU hotplug; - allocate "struct cpu" only for present CPUs, like sparc64 does. Static array of "struct cpu" is just a waste of memory.

2006-04-17[PATCH] Fix buddy list race that could lead to page lru list corruptionsNick Piggin
Rohit found an obscure bug causing buddy list corruption. page_is_buddy is using a non-atomic test (PagePrivate && page_count == 0) to determine whether or not a free page's buddy is itself free and in the buddy lists. Each of the conjuncts may be true at different times due to unrelated conditions, so the non-atomic page_is_buddy test may find each conjunct to be true even if they were not both true at the same time (ie. the page was not on the buddy lists).

2006-04-17[PATCH] fuse: fix oops in fuse_send_readpages()Miklos Szeredi
During heavy parallel filesystem activity it was possible to Oops the kernel. The reason is that read_cache_pages() could skip pages which have already been inserted into the cache by another task. Occasionally this may result in zero pages actually being sent, while fuse_send_readpages() relies on at least one page being in the request. So check this corner case and just free the request instead of trying to send it. Reported and tested by Konstantin Isakov.

2006-04-17[PATCH] m32r: Fix cpu_possible_map and cpu_present_map initialization for ↵Hirokazu Takata
SMP kernel This patch fixes a boot problem of the m32r SMP kernel 2.6.16-rc1-mm3 or later. In this patch, cpu_possible_map is statically initialized, and cpu_present_map is also copied from cpu_possible_map in smp_prepare_cpus(), because the m32r architecture has not supported CPU hotplug yet.

2006-04-17[PATCH] m32r: security fix of {get, put}_user macrosHirokazu Takata
Update {get,put}_user macros for m32r kernel. - Modify get_user to use __get_user_asm macro, instead of __get_user_x macro. - Remove arch/m32r/lib/{get,put}user.S. - Some cosmetic updates. I would like to thank NIIBE Yutaka for his reporting about the m32r kernel's security problem in {get,put}_user macros. There were no address checking for user space access in {get,put}_user macros. ;-) Signed-off-by: Hirokazu Takata <takata@linux-m32r.org> Cc: NIIBE Yutaka <gniibe@fsij.org> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>
2006-04-17[PATCH] NETFILTER: Fix fragmentation issues with bridge netfilterPatrick McHardy
[NETFILTER]: Fix fragmentation issues with bridge netfilter The conntrack code doesn't do re-fragmentation of defragmented packets anymore but relies on fragmentation in the IP layer. Purely bridged packets don't pass through the IP layer, so the bridge netfilter code needs to take care of fragmentation itself.
