e4543eddfd [PATCH] add a vfs_permission helper
Most permission() calls have a struct nameidata * available.  This helper
takes that as an argument and thus makes sure we pass it down for lookup
intents and prepares for per-mount read-only support where we need a struct
vfsmount for checking whether a file is writeable.

e4a53cbabc [PATCH] drivers/block/pktcdvd.c: remove write-only variable in pkt_iosched_process_queue()
Found this on Coverty's linux bug database (http://linuxbugsdb.coverity.com).

The function pkt_iosched_process_queue makes a call to bdev_get_queue and
stores the result but never uses it, so it looks like it can be safely
removed.

733482e445 [PATCH] changing CONFIG_LOCALVERSION rebuilds too much, for no good reason
This patch removes almost all inclusions of linux/version.h.  The 3
#defines are unused in most of the touched files.

A few drivers use the simple KERNEL_VERSION(a,b,c) macro, which is
unfortunatly in linux/version.h.

There are also lots of #ifdef for long obsolete kernels, this was not
touched.  In a few places, the linux/version.h include was move to where
the LINUX_VERSION_CODE was used.

quilt vi `find * -type f -name "*.[ch]"|xargs grep -El '(UTS_RELEASE|LINUX_VERSION_CODE|KERNEL_VERSION|linux/version.h)'|grep -Ev '(/(boot|coda|drm)/|~$)'`

search pattern:
/UTS_RELEASE\|LINUX_VERSION_CODE\|KERNEL_VERSION\|linux\/\(utsname\|version\).h

environment variable for a file name, otherwise it checks for

file, which presets the config variables, but they are still subject to normal

3f04e7ddf4 [PATCH] kconfig: Fix Kconfig performance bug
When doing its recursive dependency check, scripts/kconfig/conf uses the flag
SYMBOL_CHECK_DONE to avoid rechecking a symbol it has already checked.
However, that flag is only set at the top level, so if a symbol is first
encountered as a dependency of another symbol it will be rechecked every time
it is encountered until it's encountered at the top level.

This patch adjusts the flag setting so that each symbol will only be checked
once, regardless of whether it is first encountered at the top level, or while
recursing down from another symbol.  On complex configurations, this vastly
speeds up scripts/kconfig/conf.  The config in the powerpc merge tree is
particularly bad: this patch reduces the time for 'scripts/kconfig/conf -o
arch/powerpc/Kconfig' by a factor of 40 on a G5.  That's even including the
time to print the config, so the speedup in the actual checking is more likely
2 or 3 orders of magnitude.

88baf3e85a [PATCH] fix floppy.c to store correct ro/rw status in underlying gendisk
Evgeny Stambulchik found that doing the following always worked:

# mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/
mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only
# mount -o remount,rw /mnt/floppy
# echo $?
0

This is the case because the block device /dev/fd0 is writeable but the
floppy disk is marked protected.  A fix is to simply have floppy_open mark
the underlying gendisk policy according to reality (since the VFS doesn't
provide a way for do_remount_sb to inquire as to the current device
status).

When calling target drivers to set frequency, we take cpucontrol lock.
When we modified the code to accomodate CPU hotplug, there was an attempt
to take a double lock of cpucontrol leading to a deadlock.  Since the
current thread context is already holding the cpucontrol lock, we dont need
to make another attempt to acquire it.

Now we leave a trace in current->flags indicating current thread already is
under cpucontrol lock held, so we dont attempt to do this another time.

Thanks to Andrew Morton for the beating:-)

330d57fb98 [PATCH] Fix sysctl unregistration oops (CVE-2005-2709)
You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> 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.

329f7dba5f [PATCH] fix de_thread() vs send_group_sigqueue() race
When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread calls release_task(leader) before
calling exit_itimers(). If local timer interrupt happens in between, it can
oops in send_group_sigqueue() while taking ->sighand->siglock == NULL.

However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL,
because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID
case. So it is possible that this task_struct was already freed and we can't
trust p->signal.

This patch changes de_thread() so that leader released after exit_itimers()
call.

a63ae4427c [ARM] 3093/1: SharpSL PCMCIA Updates for Cxx00 models
Patch from Richard Purdie

The Sharp SL-Cxx00 models have a combined power control for the SD
and CF slot 0. This patch adds hooks to the scoop driver to allow
machines to provide a custom control function for this and such a
function is added for spitz/akita/borzoi.

It also moves the gpio init code into the machine files as this
is machine dependent and differs between some models. A couple of
warnings when compiling for collie are also fixed.
