When found, it is obvious. nfds calculated when allocating fdsets is
rewritten by calculation of size of fdtable, and when we are unlucky, we
try to free fdsets of wrong size.

Based on a patch from Ernie Petrides
During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core
dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a
core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have
permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk
consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges.
The prctl() system call should never allow to set "dumpable" to the
value 2. Especially not for non-privileged users.
This can be split into three cases:
1) running as root -- then core dumps will already be done as root,
and so prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 2) is not useful
2) running as non-root w/setuid-to-root -- this is the debatable case
3) running as non-root w/setuid-to-non-root -- then you definitely
do NOT want "dumpable" to get set to 2 because you have the
privilege escalation vulnerability
With case #2, the only potential usefulness is for a program that has
designed to run with higher privilege (than the user invoking it) that
wants to be able to create root-owned root-validated core dumps. This
might be useful as a debugging aid, but would only be safe if the program
had done a chdir() to a safe directory.
There is no benefit to a production setuid-to-root utility, because it
shouldn't be dumping core in the first place. If this is true, then the
same debugging aid could also be accomplished with the "suid_dumpable"
sysctl.

This is confirmed to fix a hang due to PCI resource conflicts with
setting up the Cardbus bridge on old laptops with the 440MX chipsets.
Original report by Alessio Sangalli, lspci debugging help by Pekka
Enberg, and trial patch suggested by Daniel Ritz:
"From the docs available i would _guess_ this thing is really similar
to the 82443BX/82371AB combination. at least the SMBus base address
register is hidden at the very same place (32bit at 0x90 in function
3 of the "south" brigde)"
The dang thing is largely undocumented, but the patch was corroborated
by Asit Mallick:
"I am trying to find the register information. 440MX is an integration of
440BX north-bridge without AGP and PIIX4E (82371EB). PIIX4 quirk
should cover the ACPI and SMBus related I/O registers."
and verified to fix the problem by Alessio.

1. Multipath devices for which SetPGID is not supported are not handled well.
Use NOP ccws for path verification (sans path grouping) when SetPGID is not
supported.
2. Check for PGIDs already set with SensePGID on _all_ paths (not just the
first one) and try to find a common one. Moan if no common PGID can be
found (and use NOP verification). If no PGIDs have been set, use the css
global PGID (as before). (Rationale: SetPGID will get a command reject if
the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be
savely ignored by the machine check handler (all other actions create
unsolicited CRWs).

The module parameters for xpram are not or in a wrong way parsed.
The xpram module uses the module_param_array directive with an int
parameter which causes the kernel to automatically parse the passed
numbers. This will cause errors if arguments are omitted or cause
wrong results if arguments have size qualifiers.
Use module_param_array with charp and parse the arguments later.

If a configuration was chosen to support both the Versatile

using machine_is_xxx().
Also, for the CLCD, despite how the code looks, both the AB
and PB access the same location to control the clock rate -
it's just called something different between the two board
versions. Invent our own name for this location and use it

Currently ia32 binaries behave differently with respect to enabling
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC. On i386 a binary with the exec_stack flag set is
executed with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabled as well. The same binary
executes without READ_IMPLIES_EXEC on x86-64.
This causes binaries that work on i386 to fail on x86-64 which goes
somewhat against the whole 32 bit emulation idea.
It has been argued that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC should not be enabled at all
for binaries that have the exec_stack flag. Which is probably a valid
point. However until this is clarified I think x86-64 should behave the
same for ia32 binaries as i386.
The following patch brings x86-64 in sync with i386 for ia32 binaries.
