49705b7743 [PATCH] sanitize lookup_hash prototype
->permission and ->lookup have a struct nameidata * argument these days to
pass down lookup intents.  Unfortunately some callers of lookup_hash don't
actually pass this one down.  For lookup_one_len() we don't have a struct
nameidata to pass down, but as this function is a library function only
used by filesystem code this is an acceptable limitation.  All other
callers should pass down the nameidata, so this patch changes the
lookup_hash interface to only take a struct nameidata argument and derives
the other two arguments to __lookup_hash from it.  All callers already have
the nameidata argument available so this is not a problem.

At the same time I'd like to deprecate the lookup_hash interface as there
are better exported interfaces for filesystem usage.  Before it can
actually be removed I need to fix up rpc_pipefs.

8c744fb83d [PATCH] add a file_permission helper
A few more callers of permission() just want to check for a different access
pattern on an already open file.  This patch adds a wrapper for permission()
that takes a file in preparation of per-mount read-only support and to clean
up the callers a little.  The helper is not intended for new code, everything
without the interface set in stone should use vfs_permission()

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.

90d45d17f3 [PATCH] cpu hotplug: fix locking in cpufreq drivers
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.

b3f9b92a6e [PPP]: add PPP MPPE encryption module
From: Matt Domsch <Matt_Domsch@dell.com>

The patch below implements the Microsoft Point-to-Point Encryption method
as a PPP compressor/decompressor.  This is necessary for Linux clients and
servers to interoperate with Microsoft Point-to-Point Tunneling Protocol
(PPTP) servers (either Microsoft PPTP servers or the poptop project) which
use MPPE to encrypt data when creating a VPN.

This patch differs from the kernel_ppp_mppe DKMS pacakge at
pptpclient.sourceforge.net by utilizing the kernel crypto routines rather
than providing its own SHA1 and arcfour implementations.

Minor changes to ppp_generic.c try to prevent a link from disabling
compression (in our case, the encryption) after it has started using
compression (encryption).

Feedback to <pptpclient-devel@lists.sourceforge.net> please.

9676f0c638 [PATCH] unbindable mounts
An unbindable mount does not forward or receive propagation.  Also
unbindable mount disallows bind mounts.  The semantics is as follows.

Bind semantics:
  It is invalid to bind mount an unbindable mount.

Move semantics:
  It is invalid to move an unbindable mount under shared mount.

Clone-namespace semantics:
  If a mount is unbindable in the parent namespace, the corresponding
  cloned mount in the child namespace becomes unbindable too.  Note:
  there is subtle difference, unbindable mounts cannot be bind mounted
  but can be cloned during clone-namespace.

7b7b1ace2d [PATCH] saner handling of auto_acct_off() and DQUOT_OFF() in umount
The way we currently deal with quota and process accounting that might
keep vfsmount busy at umount time is inherently broken; we try to turn
them off just in case (not quite correctly, at that) and

  a) pray umount doesn't fail (otherwise they'll stay turned off)
  b) pray nobody doesn anything funny just as we turn quota off

Moreover, LSM provides hooks for doing the same sort of broken logics.

The proper way to deal with that is to introduce the second kind of
reference to vfsmount.  Semantics:

 - when the last normal reference is dropped, all special ones are
   converted to normal ones and if there had been any, cleanup is done.
 - normal reference can be cloned into a special one
 - special reference can be converted to normal one; that's a no-op if
   we'd already passed the point of no return (i.e.  mntput() had
   converted special references to normal and started cleanup).

The way it works: e.g. starting process accounting converts the vfsmount
reference pinned by the opened file into special one and turns it back
to normal when it gets shut down; acct_auto_close() is done when no
normal references are left.  That way it does *not* obstruct umount(2)
and it silently gets turned off when the last normal reference to
vfsmount is gone.  Which is exactly what we want...

The same should be done by LSM module that holds some internal
references to vfsmount and wants to shut them down on umount - it should
make them special and security_sb_umount_close() will be called exactly
when the last normal reference to vfsmount is gone.

quota handling is even simpler - we don't use normal file IO anymore, so
there's no need to hold vfsmounts at all.  DQUOT_OFF() is done from
deactivate_super(), where it really belongs.

b449f63c8c [PATCH] drivers/pnp/: cleanups
This patch contains the following possible cleanups:
- make needlessly global code static
- #if 0 the following unused global function:
  - core.c: pnp_remove_device
- #if 0 the following unneeded EXPORT_SYMBOL's:
  - card.c: pnp_add_card
  - card.c: pnp_remove_card
  - card.c: pnp_add_card_device
  - card.c: pnp_remove_card_device
  - card.c: pnp_add_card_id
  - core.c: pnp_register_protocol
  - core.c: pnp_unregister_protocol
  - core.c: pnp_add_device
  - core.c: pnp_remove_device
  - pnpacpi/core.c: pnpacpi_protocol
  - driver.c: pnp_add_id
  - isapnp/core.c: isapnp_read_byte
  - manager.c: pnp_auto_config_dev
  - resource.c: pnp_register_dependent_option
  - resource.c: pnp_register_independent_option
  - resource.c: pnp_register_irq_resource
  - resource.c: pnp_register_dma_resource
  - resource.c: pnp_register_port_resource
  - resource.c: pnp_register_mem_resource

Note that this patch #if 0's exactly one functions and removes no
functions.  Most it does is the #if 0 of EXPORT_SYMBOL's, so if any modular
code will use any of them, re-adding will be trivial.

Modular ISAPnP might be interesting in some cases, but this is more legacy
code.  If someone would work on it to sort all the issues out (starting
with the point that most users of __ISAPNP__ will have to be fixed)
re-enabling the required EXPORT_SYMBOL's won't be hard for him.

I don't actually have such boards but according to google they do exist.
Curiosly X.Org doesn't recognize that PCI ID.  And what's even more
interesting is that Matrox's own Windows drivers don't recognize it either.
After going through about a dozen different versions I did find one older
driver that does list this particular ID.  It is also listed in the pci.ids
file.

I'm not sure if non-220 AGP chips exist.  I left the chip revision check
intact for AGP chips nonetheless.

8fb6567e34 [PATCH] fbdev: fix the fb_find_nearest_mode() function
Currently the fb_find_nearest_mode() function finds a mode with screen
resolution closest to that described by the 'var' argument and with some
arbitrary refresh rate (eg.  in the following sequence of refresh rates: 70 60
53 85 75, 53 is selected).

This patch fixes the function so that it looks for the closest mode as far as
both resolution and refresh rate are concerned.  The function's first argument
is changed to fb_videomode so that the refresh rate can be specified by the
caller, as fb_var_screeninfo doesn't have any fields that could directly hold
this data.

c465e05a03 [PATCH] fbcon/fbdev: Move softcursor out of fbdev to fbcon
According to Jon Smirl, filling in the field fb_cursor with soft_cursor for
drivers that do not support hardware cursors is redundant.  The soft_cursor
function is usable by all drivers because it is just a wrapper around
fb_imageblit.  And because soft_cursor is an fbcon-specific hook, the file is
moved to the console directory.

Thus, drivers that do not support hardware cursors can leave the fb_cursor
field blank.  For drivers that do, they can fill up this field with their own
version.

The end result is a smaller code size.  And if the framebuffer console is not
loaded, module/kernel size is also reduced because the soft_cursor module will
also not be loaded.

0ba7536d5d [PATCH] knfsd: Fix some minor sign problems in nfsd/xdr
There are a couple of tests which could possibly be confused by extremely
large numbers appearing in 'xdr' packets.  I think the closest to an exploit
you could get would be writing random data from a free page into a file - i.e.
 leak data out of kernel space.

I'm fairly sure they cannot be used for remote compromise.

Changes to the base kprobes infrastructure to use RCU for synchronization
during kprobe registration and unregistration.  These changes coupled with the
arch kprobe changes (next in series):

a. serialize registration and unregistration of kprobes.
b. enable lockless execution of handlers. Handlers can now run in parallel.

393d2cc354 [PATCH] ipmi: use refcount in message handler
This patch is rather large, but it really can't be done in smaller chunks
easily and I believe it is an important change.  This has been out and tested
for a while in the latest IPMI driver release.  There are no functional
changes, just changes as necessary to convert the locking over (and a few
minor style updates).

The IPMI driver uses read/write locks to ensure that things exist while they
are in use.  This is bad from a number of points of view.  This patch removes
the rwlocks and uses refcounts and RCU lists to manage what the locks did.
