2008-12-09[PATCH] Audit: make audit=0 actually turn off auditEric Paris
Currently audit=0 on the kernel command line does absolutely nothing. Audit always loads and always uses its resources such as creating the kernel netlink socket. This patch causes audit=0 to actually disable audit. Audit will use no resources and starting the userspace auditd daemon will not cause the kernel audit system to activate.

2008-12-05Fix a race condition in FASYNC handlingJonathan Corbet
Changeset a238b790d5f99c7832f9b73ac8847025815b85f7 (Call fasync() functions without the BKL) introduced a race which could leave file->f_flags in a state inconsistent with what the underlying driver/filesystem believes. Revert that change, and also fix the same races in ioctl_fioasync() and ioctl_fionbio(). This is a minimal, short-term fix; the real fix will not involve the BKL.

2008-12-05Enforce a minimum SG_IO timeoutLinus Torvalds
There's no point in having too short SG_IO timeouts, since if the command does end up timing out, we'll end up through the reset sequence that is several seconds long in order to abort the command that timed out. As a result, shorter timeouts than a few seconds simply do not make sense, as the recovery would be longer than the timeout itself. Add a BLK_MIN_SG_TIMEOUT to match the existign BLK_DEFAULT_SG_TIMEOUT.

2008-12-05Revert "ACPI: battery: Convert discharge energy rate to current properly"Linus Torvalds
This reverts commit 558073dd56707864f09d563b64e7c37c021e89d2, along with the failed try to fix the regression it caused ("ACPI: Fix ACPI battery regression introduced by commit 558073"), which just made things worse. Commit aaad077638be1a25871bcae5e43952d6b63abfca (that failed "Fix ACPI battery regression") got the voltage conversion confused, and fixed the problem with Rafael's battery monitor apparently just by mistake.

2008-12-05[XFS] Fix hang after disallowed rename across directory quota domainsDave Chinner
When project quota is active and is being used for directory tree quota control, we disallow rename outside the current directory tree. This requires a check to be made after all the inodes involved in the rename are locked. We fail to unlock the inodes correctly if we disallow the rename when the target is outside the current directory tree. This results in a hang on the next access to the inodes involved in failed rename.

2008-12-04MIPS: Fix potential DOS by untrusted user app.Vlad Malov
On a 64 bit kernel if an o32 syscall was made with a syscall number less than 4000, we would read the function from outside of the bounds of the syscall table. This led to non-deterministic behavior including system crashes. While we were at it we reworked the 32 bit version as well to use fewer instructions.

2008-12-04time: catch xtime_nsec underflows and fix themjohn stultz
Impact: fix time warp bug Alex Shi, along with Yanmin Zhang have been noticing occasional time inconsistencies recently. Through their great diagnosis, they found that the xtime_nsec value used in update_wall_time was occasionally going negative. After looking through the code for awhile, I realized we have the possibility for an underflow when three conditions are met in update_wall_time(): 1) We have accumulated a second's worth of nanoseconds, so we incremented xtime.tv_sec and appropriately decrement xtime_nsec. (This doesn't cause xtime_nsec to go negative, but it can cause it to be small). 2) The remaining offset value is large, but just slightly less then cycle_interval. 3) clocksource_adjust() is speeding up the clock, causing a corrective amount (compensating for the increase in the multiplier being multiplied against the unaccumulated offset value) to be subtracted from xtime_nsec. This can cause xtime_nsec to underflow. Unfortunately, since we notify the NTP subsystem via second_overflow() whenever we accumulate a full second, and this effects the error accumulation that has already occured, we cannot simply revert the accumulated second from xtime nor move the second accumulation to after the clocksource_adjust call without a change in behavior. This leaves us with (at least) two options: 1) Simply return from clocksource_adjust() without making a change if we notice the adjustment would cause xtime_nsec to go negative. This would work, but I'm concerned that if a large adjustment was needed (due to the error being large), it may be possible to get stuck with an ever increasing error that becomes too large to correct (since it may always force xtime_nsec negative). This may just be paranoia on my part. 2) Catch xtime_nsec if it is negative, then add back the amount its negative to both xtime_nsec and the error. This second method is consistent with how we've handled earlier rounding issues, and also has the benefit that the error being added is always in the oposite direction also always equal or smaller then the correction being applied. So the risk of a corner case where things get out of control is lessened.

2008-12-03sparc64: Fix VIS emulation bugsJoseph Myers
This patch fixes some bugs in VIS emulation that cause the GCC test failure FAIL: gcc.target/sparc/pdist-3.c execution test for both 32-bit and 64-bit testing on hardware lacking these instructions. The emulation code for the pdist instruction uses RS1(insn) for both source registers rs1 and rs2, which is obviously wrong and leads to the instruction doing nothing (the observed problem), and further inspection of the code shows that RS1 uses a shift of 24 and RD a shift of 25, which clearly cannot both be right; examining SPARC documentation indicates the correct shift for RS1 is 14. This patch fixes the bug if single-stepping over the affected instruction in the debugger, but not if the testcase is run standalone. For that, Wind River has another patch I hope they will send as a followup to this patch submission. Signed-off-by: Joseph Myers <joseph@codesourcery.com> Signed-off-by: David S.
