asus-laptop: Do not call HWRS on init

2013-03-28T19:12:28Z

commit cb7da022450cdaaebd33078b6b32fb7dd2aaf6db upstream. Since commit 8871e99f89b7 ('asus-laptop: HRWS/HWRS typo'), module initialisation is very slow on the Asus UL30A. The HWRS method takes about 12 seconds to run, and subsequent initialisation also seems to be delayed. Since we don't really need the result, don't bother calling it on init. Those who are curious can still get the result through the 'infos' device attribute. Update the comment about HWRS in show_infos().

rt2x00: error in configurations with mesh support disabled

2013-03-28T19:12:28Z

commit 6ef9e2f6d12ce9e2120916804d2ddd46b954a70b upstream. If CONFIG_MAC80211_MESH is not set, cfg80211 will now allow advertising interface combinations with NL80211_IFTYPE_MESH_POINT present. Add appropriate ifdefs to avoid running into errors. [Backported for 3.8-stable.

exec: use -ELOOP for max recursion depth

2013-03-28T19:12:28Z

commit d740269867021faf4ce38a449353d2b986c34a67 upstream. To avoid an explosion of request_module calls on a chain of abusive scripts, fail maximum recursion with -ELOOP instead of -ENOEXEC. As soon as maximum recursion depth is hit, the error will fail all the way back up the chain, aborting immediately. This also has the side-effect of stopping the user's shell from attempting to reexecute the top-level file as a shell script. As seen in the dash source: if (cmd != path_bshell && errno == ENOEXEC) { *argv-- = cmd; *argv = cmd = path_bshell; goto repeat; } The above logic was designed for running scripts automatically that lacked the "#!" header, not to re-try failed recursion. On a legitimate -ENOEXEC, things continue to behave as the shell expects. Additionally, when tracking recursion, the binfmt handlers should not be involved. The recursion being tracked is the depth of calls through search_binary_handler(), so that function should be exclusively responsible for tracking the depth.

i915: initialize CADL in opregion

2013-03-28T19:12:28Z

commit d627b62ff8d4d36761adbcd90ff143d79c94ab22 upstream. This is rather a hack to fix brightness hotkeys on a Clevo laptop. CADL is not used anywhere in the driver code at the moment, but it could be used in BIOS as is the case with the Clevo laptop. The Clevo B7130 requires the CADL field to contain at least the ID of the LCD device. If this field is empty, the ACPI methods that are called on pressing brightness / display switching hotkeys will not trigger a notification. As a result, it appears as no hotkey has been pressed.

tools: hv: Netlink source address validation allows DoS

2013-03-28T19:12:28Z

commit 95a69adab9acfc3981c504737a2b6578e4d846ef upstream. The source code without this patch caused hypervkvpd to exit when it processed a spoofed Netlink packet which has been sent from an untrusted local user. Now Netlink messages with a non-zero nl_pid source address are ignored and a warning is printed into the syslog. Signed-off-by: Tomas Hozza Acked-by: K. Y.
