[PATCH] ide: fix Jmicron support
Prior to 2.6.18rc1 you could install with devices on a JMicron chipset
using the "all-generic-ide" option. As of this kernel the AHCI driver
grabs the controller and rams it into AHCI mode losing the PATA ports
and making CD drives and the like vanish. The all-generic-ide option
fails because the AHCI driver grabbed the PCI device and reconfigured
it.
To fix this three things are needed.
#1 We must put the chip into dual function mode
#2 The AHCI driver must grab only function 0 (already in your rc1 tree)
#3 Something must grab the PATA ports
The attached patch is the minimal risk edition of this. It puts the chip
into dual function mode so that AHCI will grab the SATA ports without
losing the PATA ports. To keep the risk as low as possible the third
patch adds the PCI identifiers for the PATA port and the FN check to the
ide-generic driver. There is a more featured jmicron driver on its way
but that adds risk and the ide-generic support is sufficient to install
and run a system.
The actual chip setup done by the quirk is the precise setup recommended
by the vendor.
(The JMB368 appears only in the ide-generic entry as it has no AHCI so
does not need the quirk)

[PATCH] Fix prctl privilege escalation and suid_dumpable (CVE-2006-2451)
Based on a patch from Ernie Petrides
During security research, Red Hat discovered a behavioral flaw in core
dump handling. A local user could create a program that would cause a
core file to be dumped into a directory they would not normally have
permissions to write to. This could lead to a denial of service (disk
consumption), or allow the local user to gain root privileges.
The prctl() system call should never allow to set "dumpable" to the
value 2. Especially not for non-privileged users.
This can be split into three cases:
1) running as root -- then core dumps will already be done as root,
and so prctl(PR_SET_DUMPABLE, 2) is not useful
2) running as non-root w/setuid-to-root -- this is the debatable case
3) running as non-root w/setuid-to-non-root -- then you definitely
do NOT want "dumpable" to get set to 2 because you have the
privilege escalation vulnerability
With case #2, the only potential usefulness is for a program that has
designed to run with higher privilege (than the user invoking it) that
wants to be able to create root-owned root-validated core dumps. This
might be useful as a debugging aid, but would only be safe if the program
had done a chdir() to a safe directory.
There is no benefit to a production setuid-to-root utility, because it
shouldn't be dumping core in the first place. If this is true, then the
same debugging aid could also be accomplished with the "suid_dumpable"
sysctl.

the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be

[PATCH] x86_64: Bring x86-64 ia32 emul in sync with i386 on READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabling
Currently ia32 binaries behave differently with respect to enabling
READ_IMPLIES_EXEC. On i386 a binary with the exec_stack flag set is
executed with READ_IMPLIES_EXEC enabled as well. The same binary
executes without READ_IMPLIES_EXEC on x86-64.
This causes binaries that work on i386 to fail on x86-64 which goes
somewhat against the whole 32 bit emulation idea.
It has been argued that READ_IMPLIES_EXEC should not be enabled at all
for binaries that have the exec_stack flag. Which is probably a valid
point. However until this is clarified I think x86-64 should behave the
same for ia32 binaries as i386.
The following patch brings x86-64 in sync with i386 for ia32 binaries.
The inclusion of TCP Compound needs to be reverted at this time
because it is not 100% certain that this code conforms to the

Bpqether is encapsulating AX.25 frames into ethernet frames. There is a
virtual bpqether device paired with each ethernet devices, so it's normal
to pass through dev_queue_xmit twice for each frame which triggers the
locking detector.

[PATCH] knfsd: nfsd4: add per-operation server stats
Add an nfs4 operations count array to nfsd_stats structure. The count is
incremented in nfsd4_proc_compound() where all the operations are handled
by the nfsv4 server. This count of individual nfsv4 operations is also
entered into /proc filesystem.
