* [PATCH] kconfig: preset config during all*configRoman Zippel2005-11-093-3/+45
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Allow to force setting of config variables during all{no,mod,yes,random}config to a specific value. For that conf first checks the KCONFIG_ALLCONFIG environment variable for a file name, otherwise it checks for all{no,mod,yes,random}.config and all.config. The file is a normal config file, which presets the config variables, but they are still subject to normal dependency checks.

* [PATCH] kconfig: fix restart for choice symbolsRoman Zippel2005-11-092-4/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | The restart check whether new symbols became visible, didn't always work for choice symbols. Even if a choice symbol itself isn't changable, the childs are. This also requires to update the new status of all choice values, once one of them is set.

* [PATCH] kconfig: Fix Kconfig performance bugDavid Gibson2005-11-094-12/+10
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When doing its recursive dependency check, scripts/kconfig/conf uses the flag SYMBOL_CHECK_DONE to avoid rechecking a symbol it has already checked. However, that flag is only set at the top level, so if a symbol is first encountered as a dependency of another symbol it will be rechecked every time it is encountered until it's encountered at the top level. This patch adjusts the flag setting so that each symbol will only be checked once, regardless of whether it is first encountered at the top level, or while recursing down from another symbol. On complex configurations, this vastly speeds up scripts/kconfig/conf. The config in the powerpc merge tree is particularly bad: this patch reduces the time for 'scripts/kconfig/conf -o arch/powerpc/Kconfig' by a factor of 40 on a G5. That's even including the time to print the config, so the speedup in the actual checking is more likely 2 or 3 orders of magnitude.

* [PATCH] fix floppy.c to store correct ro/rw status in underlying gendiskJon Masters2005-11-091-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Evgeny Stambulchik found that doing the following always worked: # mount /dev/fd0 /mnt/floppy/ mount: block device /dev/fd0 is write-protected, mounting read-only # mount -o remount,rw /mnt/floppy # echo $? 0 This is the case because the block device /dev/fd0 is writeable but the floppy disk is marked protected. A fix is to simply have floppy_open mark the underlying gendisk policy according to reality (since the VFS doesn't provide a way for do_remount_sb to inquire as to the current device status).

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When calling target drivers to set frequency, we take cpucontrol lock. When we modified the code to accomodate CPU hotplug, there was an attempt to take a double lock of cpucontrol leading to a deadlock. Since the current thread context is already holding the cpucontrol lock, we dont need to make another attempt to acquire it. Now we leave a trace in current->flags indicating current thread already is under cpucontrol lock held, so we dont attempt to do this another time.

* [PATCH] Fix sysctl unregistration oops (CVE-2005-2709)Al Viro2005-11-084-31/+116
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | You could open the /proc/sys/net/ipv4/conf/<if>/<whatever> file, then wait for interface to go away, try to grab as much memory as possible in hope to hit the (kfreed) ctl_table. Then fill it with pointers to your function. Then do read from file you've opened and if you are lucky, you'll get it called as ->proc_handler() in kernel mode. So this is at least an Oops and possibly more. It does depend on an interface going away though, so less of a security risk than it would otherwise be.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When non-leader thread does exec, de_thread calls release_task(leader) before calling exit_itimers(). If local timer interrupt happens in between, it can oops in send_group_sigqueue() while taking ->sighand->siglock == NULL. However, we can't change send_group_sigqueue() to check p->signal != NULL, because sys_timer_create() does get_task_struct() only in SIGEV_THREAD_ID case. So it is possible that this task_struct was already freed and we can't trust p->signal. This patch changes de_thread() so that leader released after exit_itimers() call.
