virtio-rng: Remove false BUG for spurious callbacks

2009-05-08T22:45:00Z

upstream commit: e5b89542ea18020961882228c26db3ba87f6e608 The virtio-rng drivers checks for spurious callbacks. Since callbacks can be implemented via shared interrupts (e.g. PCI) this could lead to guest kernel oopses with lots of virtio devices.

agp: zero pages before sending to userspace

2009-04-27T17:37:05Z

upstream commit: 59de2bebabc5027f93df999d59cc65df591c3e6e CVE-2009-1192 AGP pages might be mapped into userspace finally, so the pages should be set to zero before userspace can use it. Otherwise there is potential information leakage. Signed-off-by: Shaohua Li Signed-off-by: Dave Airlie Signed-off-by: Chris Wright

Revert "console ASCII glyph 1:1 mapping"

2009-04-27T17:37:04Z

upstream commit: c0b7988200a82290287c6f4cd49585007f73175a This reverts commit 1c55f18717304100a5f624c923f7cb6511b4116d. Ingo Brueckl was assuming that reverting to 1:1 mapping for chars >= 128 was not useful, but it happens to be: due to the limitations of the Linux console, when a blind user wants to read BIG5 on it, he has no other way than loading a font without SFM and let the 1:1 mapping permit the screen reader to get the BIG5 encoding.

parisc: remove klist iterators

2009-03-13T05:16:58Z

commit 11c3b5c3e08f4d855cbef52883c266b9ab9df879 Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman Date: Tue Dec 16 12:24:56 2008 -0800 driver core: move klist_children into private structure Broke our parisc build pretty badly because we touch the klists directly in three cases (AGP, SBA and GSC). Although GregKH will revert this patch, there's no reason we should be using the iterators directly, we can just move to the standard device_for_each_child() API.

hvc_console: Remove tty->low_latency on pseries backends

2009-03-10T23:44:26Z

The hvcs and hvsi backends both set tty->low_latency to one, along with more or less scary comments regarding bugs or races that would happen if not doing so. However, they also both call tty_flip_buffer_push() in conexts where it's illegal to do so since some recent tty changes (or at least it may have been illegal always but it nows blows) when low_latency is set (ie, hard interrupt or with spinlock held and irqs disabled). This removes the setting for now to get them back to working condition, we'll have to address the races described in the comments separately if they are still an issue (some of this might have been fixed already).

intel-agp: fix a panic with 1M of shared memory, no GTT entries

2009-03-10T22:55:11Z

When GTT size is equal to amount of video memory, the amount of GTT entries is computed lower than zero, which is invalid and leads to off-by-one error in intel_i915_configure() Originally posted here: http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12539 http://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=445592 Signed-off-by: Lubomir Rintel Cc: Lubomir Rintel Cc: Dave Airlie Reviewed-by: Eric Anholt Cc: Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds

x86/agp: tighten check to update amd nb aperture

2009-03-10T22:55:11Z

Impact: fix bug to make agp work with dri Jeffrey reported that dri does work with 64bit, but doesn't work with 32bit it turns out NB aperture is 32M, aperture on agp is 128M 64bit is using 64M for vaidation for 64 iommu/gart 32bit is only using 32M..., and will not update the nb aperture. So try to compare nb apterture and agp apterture before leaving not touch nb aperture.
