Andi Kleen 2699500b31 [PATCH] x86_64: Fix backtracing for interrupt stacks
Re-add backlink for old style unwinder to stack switching.  Add proper
stack frame and CFI annotations to call_softirq

This prevents a oops when backtracing with fallback through the
interrupt stack top.

Suggested by Jan Beulich and Herbert Xu wanted it in 2.6.18.

Linus Torvalds ae74c3b69a Fix force_sig_info() semantics after cleanups
Suresh points out that commit b0423a0d9c
broke the semantics of a synchronous signal like SIGSEGV occurring
recursively inside its own handler handler (or, indeed, any other
context when the signal was blocked).

That was unintentional, and this fixes things up by reinstating the old
semantics, but without reverting the cleanups.

Apparently some UHCI controllers change the value of the Short Packet

This patch adds a new unusual_devs flag for when usb-storage needs to ignore
a device that it would otherwise claim.

We need to ignore the ZyXEL G220F as it is a virtual CDROM drive which
includes the windows driver for this USB-WLAN adapter. After the windows
driver is installed on a windows system, it converts it into a WLAN adapter
(by ejecting the virtual disc).

The virtual CDROM is of no interest to Linux users. The zd1211rw driver will
automatically perform the eject operation, we just need to ensure that
usb-storage does not claim the device.

Zou Nan hai acb15c85de [IA64] Do not assume output registers be reservered.
We found an issue in pal.S.

According to the software runtime SPEC,
The caller's output registers do not need to be preserved for
caller. The callee may reuse input registers for any other
purpose within the procedure.

in ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked,

input registers are copied to output registers before call
into ia64_switch_mode_phys, then used to call into PAL. This
assumes output registers are preserved in ia64_switch_mode_phys,
which may not be true.

In this particular case, ia64_switch_mode_phys alloc a null frame
, and mask off psr.i.
If an interrupt comes at this small window,
or an MCA comes inside the procedure, output registers
maybe changed,
then the pal call may got some staled input registers.

This patch moves the copies from input to output
after ia64_switch_mode_phys to follow the software
runtime convention.

It  also removed some unused labels in
ia64_pal_call_phys_stacked.

Catherine Zhang dc49c1f94e [AF_UNIX]: Kernel memory leak fix for af_unix datagram getpeersec patch
From: Catherine Zhang <cxzhang@watson.ibm.com>

This patch implements a cleaner fix for the memory leak problem of the
original unix datagram getpeersec patch.  Instead of creating a
security context each time a unix datagram is sent, we only create the
security context when the receiver requests it.

This new design requires modification of the current
unix_getsecpeer_dgram LSM hook and addition of two new hooks, namely,
secid_to_secctx and release_secctx.  The former retrieves the security
context and the latter releases it.  A hook is required for releasing
the security context because it is up to the security module to decide
how that's done.  In the case of Selinux, it's a simple kfree
operation.

Wei Dong dafee49085 [IPV6]: SNMPv2 "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates" counter error
When I tested linux kernel 2.6.71.7 about statistics
"ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates", and found that it couldn't increase
correctly. The criteria is RFC 2465:

  ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates OBJECT-TYPE
      SYNTAX      Counter32
      MAX-ACCESS  read-only
      STATUS      current
      DESCRIPTION
         "The number of output datagram fragments that have
         been generated as a result of fragmentation at
         this output interface."
      ::= { ipv6IfStatsEntry 15 }

I think there are two issues in Linux kernel. 
1st:
RFC2465 specifies the counter is "The number of output datagram
fragments...". I think increasing this counter after output a fragment
successfully is better. And it should not be increased even though a
fragment is created but failed to output.

2nd:
If we send a big ICMP/ICMPv6 echo request to a host, and receive
ICMP/ICMPv6 echo reply consisted of some fragments. As we know that in
Linux kernel first fragmentation occurs in ICMP layer(maybe saying
transport layer is better), but this is not the "real"
fragmentation,just do some "pre-fragment" -- allocate space for date,
and form a frag_list, etc. The "real" fragmentation happens in IP layer
-- set offset and MF flag and so on. So I think in "fast path" for
ip_fragment/ip6_fragment, if we send a fragment which "pre-fragment" by
upper layer we should also increase "ipv6IfStatsOutFragCreates".

Christoph Hellwig 8af2745645 [NET]: Add netdev_alloc_skb().
Add a dev_alloc_skb variant that takes a struct net_device * paramater.
For now that paramater is unused, but I'll use it to allocate the skb
from node-local memory in a follow-up patch.  Also there have been some
other plans mentioned on the list that can use it.

David S. Miller 52499afe40 [TCP]: Process linger2 timeout consistently.
Based upon guidance from Alexey Kuznetsov.

When linger2 is active, we check to see if the fin_wait2
timeout is longer than the timewait.  If it is, we schedule
the keepalive timer for the difference between the timewait
timeout and the fin_wait2 timeout.

When this orphan socket is seen by tcp_keepalive_timer()
it will try to transform this fin_wait2 socket into a
fin_wait2 mini-socket, again if linger2 is active.

Not all paths were setting this initial keepalive timer correctly.
The tcp input path was doing it correctly, but tcp_close() wasn't,
potentially making the socket linger longer than it really needs to.

James Morris a280b89982 [SECURITY] secmark: nul-terminate secdata
The patch below fixes a problem in the iptables SECMARK target, where
the user-supplied 'selctx' string may not be nul-terminated.

From initial analysis, it seems that the strlen() called from
selinux_string_to_sid() could run until it arbitrarily finds a zero,
and possibly cause a kernel oops before then.

The impact of this appears limited because the operation requires
CAP_NET_ADMIN, which is essentially always root.  Also, the module is
not yet in wide use.
