Hello,
According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the
function:
audit_string_contains_control()
in:
kernel/audit.c
Patch is included.
I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for
example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via
call path:
avc_audit()
audit_log_untrustedstring()
audit_log_n_untrustedstring()
audit_string_contains_control()
If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the
string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not
detected.
I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a
user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to
possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

Makes the kernel audit subsystem collect information about the sending
process when that process sends SIGUSR2 to the userspace audit daemon.
SIGUSR2 is a new interesting signal to auditd telling auditd that it
should try to start logging to disk again and the error condition which
caused it to stop logging to disk (usually out of space) has been
rectified.

Id which proc gets from IDR for inode number and id which proc removes
from IDR do not match. E.g. 0x11a transforms into 0x8000011a.
Which stayed unnoticed for a long time because, surprise, idr_remove()
masks out that high bit before doing anything.
All of this due to "| ~MAX_ID_MASK" in release_inode_number().
I still don't understand how it's supposed to work, because "| ~MASK"
is not an inversion for "& MAX" operation.
So, use just one nice, working addition. Make start offset unsigned int,
while I'm at it. It's longness is not used anywhere.

Fix the two section mismatch warnings below.
This fixes two real bugs since the code which has __exit annotations
may already be gone when it is called.
WARNING: vmlinux.o(.init.text+0x1cc4a): Section mismatch in reference from the function init_QDIO() to the function .exit.text:qdio_setup_exit()

This is often seen when error handling in the init function

The fix is often to remove the __exit annotation of
qdio_setup_exit() so it may be used outside an exit section.

For anonymous pages without a swap cache backing the check in
page_remove_rmap for the physical dirty bit in page_remove_rmap is
unnecessary. The instructions that are used to check and reset the dirty
bit are expensive. Removing the check noticably speeds up process exit.
In addition the clearing of the dirty bit in __SetPageUptodate is
pointless as well. With these two changes there is no storage key
operation for an anonymous page anymore if it does not hit the swap
space.
The micro benchmark which repeatedly executes an empty shell script
gets about 5% faster.

sclp_sync_wait wait synchronously for an sclp interrupt and disables
timer interrupts. However on the irq enter paths there is an extra
check if a timer interrupt would be due and calls the timer callback.
This would schedule softirqs in the wrong context.
So introduce local_tick_enable/disable which prevents this.

During startup we check if diag308 works using diag 308 subcode 6,
which stores the actual ipl information. This fails with rc = 0x102, if
the system has been ipled from the HMC using load from CD or load from file.
In the case of rc = 0x102 we have to assume that diag 308 is working,
since it still can be used to ipl from an alternative device.

When z/VM provides two virtual devices (minidisks) that reside on the
same real device, both will receive the configuration data from the
real device and thus get the same uid. To fix this problem, z/VM
provides an additional configuration data record that allows to
distinguish between minidisks.

The command "info threads" did not work correctly with kgdb. It would
result in a silent kernel hang if used.
This patach addresses several problems.
- Fix use of deprecated NR_CPUS
- Fix kgdb to not walk linearly through the pid space
- Correctly implement shadow pids
- Change the threads per query to a #define
- Fix kgdb_hex2long to work with negated values
The threads 0 and -1 are reserved to represent the current task. That
means that CPU 0 will start with a shadow thread id of -2, and CPU 1
will have a shadow thread id of -3, etc...
From the debugger you can switch to a shadow thread to see what one of
the other cpus was doing, however it is not possible to execute run
control operations on any other cpu execept the cpu executing the
kgdb_handle_exception().

A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option. When this option is on, a breakpoint
cannot be written into any readonly memory page. When an external
debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the
kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address
to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check.
This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the
breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break
point. If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the
debugger behaves correctly. Then an end user can make the
descision to use hardware breakpoints.
Also update the documentation to reflect that using
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints.

Structs called at91_nand_data where renamed to atmel_nand_data
and configs called *MTD_NAND_AT91* where renamed to
*MTD_NAND_ATMEL*. This was unfortunately not done consistently,
causing NAND chips not being initialised on several ARM boards.
I am aware that the author of the original change did not rename
MTD_NAND_AT91_BUSWIDTH to MTD_NAND_ATMEL_BUSWIDTH, for example.
All *MTD_NAND_AT91* where renamed to *MTD_NAND_ATMEL* in order
to keep naming consistency.
This patch was only tested on a MACH_SAM9_L9260, as this is the
only ARM board I have to my disposal.
