2006-02-09[PATCH] md: remove slashes from disk names when creation dev names in sysfsNeil Brown
e.g. The sx8 driver uses names like sx8/0. This would make a md component dev name like /sys/block/md0/md/dev-sx8/0 which is not allowed. So we change the '/' to '!' just like fs/partitions/check.c(register_disk) does.

2006-02-09[PATCH] __cmpxchg() must really always be inlinedSteve Langasek
With the latest 2.6.15 kernel builds for alpha on Debian, we ran into a problem with undefined references to __cmpxchg_called_with_bad_pointer() in a couple of kernel modules (xfs.ko and drm.ko; see http://bugs.debian.org/347556). It looks like people have been trying to out-clever each other wrt the definition of "inline" on this architecture :), with the result that __cmpxchg(), which must be inlined so the compiler can see its argument is const, is not guaranteed to be inlined. Indeed, it was not being inlined when building with -Os. The attached patch fixes the issue by adding an __attribute__((always_inline)) explicitly to the definition of __cmpxchg() instead of relying on redefines of "inline" elsewhere to make this happen.

2006-02-09[PATCH] x86_64: Let impossible CPUs point to reference per cpu dataAndi Kleen
Don't mark the reference per cpu data init data (so it stays around after boot) and point all impossible CPUs to it. This way they reference some valid - although shared memory. Usually this is only initialization like INIT_LIST_HEADs and there won't be races because these CPUs never run. Still somewhat hackish.

2006-01-30[PATCH] Fix timekeeping on sparc64 ultra-IIe machinesRichard Mortimer
[SPARC64]: Eliminate race condition reading Hummingbird STICK register Ensure a consistent value is read from the STICK register by ensuring that both high and low are read without high changing due to a roll over of the low register. Various Debian/SPARC users (myself include) have noticed problems with Hummingbird based systems. The symptoms are that the system time is seen to jump forward 3 days, 6 hours, 11 minutes give or take a few seconds. In many cases the system then hangs some time afterwards. I've spotted a race condition in the code to read the STICK register. I could not work out why 3d, 6h, 11m is important but guess that it is due to the 2^32 jump of STICK (forwards on one read and then the next read will seem to be backwards) during a timer interrupt. I'm guessing that a change of -2^32 will get converted to a large unsigned increment after the arithmetic manipulation between STICK, nanoseconds, jiffies etc. I did a test where I modified __hbird_read_stick to artificially inject rollover faults forcefully every few seconds. With this I saw the clock jump over 6 times in 12 hours compared to once every month or so. Signed-off-by: Richard Mortimer <richm@oldelvet.org.uk> Signed-off-by: David S.

2006-01-30[PATCH] Fix double decrement of mqueue_mnt->mnt_count in sys_mq_open ↵Alexander Viro
(CVE-2005-3356) Fixed the refcounting on failure exits in sys_mq_open() and cleaned the logics up. Rules are actually pretty simple - dentry_open() expects vfsmount and dentry to be pinned down and it either transfers them into created struct file or drops them. Old code had been very confused in that area - if dentry_open() had failed either in do_open() or do_create(), we ended up dentry and mqueue_mnt dropped twice, once by dentry_open() cleanup and then by sys_mq_open(). Fix consists of making the rules for do_create() and do_open() same as for dentry_open() and updating the sys_mq_open() accordingly; that actually leads to more straightforward code and less work on normal path.
