[NETLINK]: Synchronous message processing.
Let's recap the problem. The current asynchronous netlink kernel
message processing is vulnerable to these attacks:
1) Hit and run: Attacker sends one or more messages and then exits
before they're processed. This may confuse/disable the next netlink
user that gets the netlink address of the attacker since it may
receive the responses to the attacker's messages.
Proposed solutions:
a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.
c) Restrict/prohibit binding.
2) Starvation: Because various netlink rcv functions were written
to not return until all messages have been processed on a socket,
it is possible for these functions to execute for an arbitrarily
long period of time. If this is successfully exploited it could
also be used to hold rtnl forever.
Proposed solutions:
a) Synchronous processing.
b) Stream mode socket.
Firstly let's cross off solution c). It only solves the first
problem and it has user-visible impacts. In particular, it'll
break user space applications that expect to bind or communicate
with specific netlink addresses (pid's).
So we're left with a choice of synchronous processing versus
SOCK_STREAM for netlink.
For the moment I'm sticking with the synchronous approach as
suggested by Alexey since it's simpler and I'd rather spend
my time working on other things.
However, it does have a number of deficiencies compared to the
stream mode solution:
1) User-space to user-space netlink communication is still vulnerable.
2) Inefficient use of resources. This is especially true for rtnetlink
since the lock is shared with other users such as networking drivers.
The latter could hold the rtnl while communicating with hardware which
causes the rtnetlink user to wait when it could be doing other things.
3) It is still possible to DoS all netlink users by flooding the kernel
netlink receive queue. The attacker simply fills the receive socket
with a single netlink message that fills up the entire queue. The
attacker then continues to call sendmsg with the same message in a loop.
Point 3) can be countered by retransmissions in user-space code, however
it is pretty messy.
In light of these problems (in particular, point 3), we should implement
stream mode netlink at some point. In the mean time, here is a patch
that implements synchronous processing.

[NETLINK]: cb_lock does not needs ref count on sk
Here is a little optimisation for the cb_lock used by netlink_dump.
While fixing that race earlier, I noticed that the reference count
held by cb_lock is completely useless. The reason is that in order
to obtain the protection of the reference count, you have to take
the cb_lock. But the only way to take the cb_lock is through
dereferencing the socket.
That is, you must already possess a reference count on the socket
before you can take advantage of the reference count held by cb_lock.
As a corollary, we can remve the reference count held by the cb_lock.

[PATCH] ppc64: fix gcc 4.0 vs CONFIG_ALTIVEC
gcc-4.0 generates altivec code implicitly when -mcpu indicates an
altivec capable CPU which is not suitable for the kernel. However, we
used to set -mcpu=970 when CONFIG_ALTIVEC was set because a gcc-3.x bug
prevented from using -maltivec along with -mcpu=power4, thus prevented
building the RAID6 altivec code.
This patch fixes all of this by testing for the gcc version. If 4.0 or
later, just normally use -mcpu=power4 and let the RAID6 code add
-maltivec to the few files it needs to be compiled with altivec support.
For 3.x, we still use -mcpu=970 to work around the above problem, which
is fine as 3.x will never implicitly generate altivec code.

by kernel convention. Most of the other changes are modifications in the
comments to make kernel-doc happy, accept some parameters description and do
not bail out on errors. Changed <pid> to @pid in the description, moved some
#ifdef before comments to correct function to comments bindings, etc.
You can see result of the modified documentation build at
http://cmp.felk.cvut.cz/~pisa/linux/lkdb-2.6.11.tar.gz
Some more sources are ready to be included into kernel-doc generated
documentation. Sources has been added into kernel-api for now. Some more
section names added and probably some more chaos introduced as result of quick
cleanup work.

[PATCH] ext3: remove unnecessary race then retry in ext3_get_block
The extra race-with-truncate-then-retry logic around
ext3_get_block_handle(), which was inherited from ext2, becomes unecessary
for ext3, since we have already obtained the ei->truncate_sem in
ext3_get_block_handle() before calling ext3_alloc_branch(). The
ei->truncate_sem is already there to block concurrent truncate and block
allocation on the same inode. So the inode's indirect addressing tree
won't be changed after we grab that semaphore.
We could, after get the semaphore, re-verify the branch is up-to-date or
not. If it has been changed, then get the updated branch. If we still
need block allocation, we will have a safe version of the branch to work
with in the ext3_find_goal()/ext3_splice_branch().
The code becomes more readable after remove those retry logic. The patch
also clean up some gotos in ext3_get_block_handle() to make it more
readable.

[PATCH] reiserfs endianness: sanitize reiserfs_key union

functions, we are free to sanitize those, as long as
- layout of the structure is unchanged (it's on-disk object)
- behaviour of these helpers is same as before.
Patch kills the mess with endianness-dependent bitfields and replaces them
with a single __le64. Helpers are switched to straightforward shift/and/or.
Benefits:
- exact same definitions for little- and big-endian architectures; no ifdefs
in sight.
- generate the same code on little-endian and improved on big-endian.
- doesn't rely on lousy bitfields handling in gcc codegenerator.
- happens to be standard C (unsigned long long is not a valid type for a
bitfield; it's a gccism and not well-implemented one, at that).

[PATCH] IPMI: fix for handling bad ACPI data
If the ACPI register bit width is zero (an invalid value) assume it is the
default spacing. This avoids some coredumps on invalid data and makes some
systems work that have broken ACPI data.

[PATCH] IPMI: fix for handling bad IPMI DMI data
Ignore the bottom bit of the base address from the DMI data. It is
supposed to be set to 1 if it is I/O space. Few systems do this, but this
enables the ones that do set it to work properly.

The variable attributes "packed" and "align" when used with struct, should

[PATCH] misc verify_area cleanups
There were still a few comments left refering to verify_area, and two
functions, verify_area_skas & verify_area_tt that just wrap corresponding
access_ok_skas & access_ok_tt functions, just like verify_area does for
access_ok - deprecate those.
There was also a few places that still used verify_area in commented-out
code, fix those up to use access_ok.
After applying this one there should not be anything left but finally
removing verify_area completely, which will happen after a kernel release
or two.

[PATCH] vgacon: set vc_hi_font_mask correctly
When allocating a new VC with vgacon_init(), the font is shared across all
the VGA consoles. However, the font mask was always set to the default
value of zero in visual_init(), even if we were using 512 character fonts
at the time.
Moreover, code in vgacon.c:vga_do_font_op() didn't reset the mask if the
console driver thinks it's already in 512 character mode. This means that
to *fix* it, you'd actually have to take the console out of 512 character
mode and then set it back.
The attached sets vc_hi_font_mask in vgacon_init() for any new consoles
opened if the vgacon driver is already in 512 character mode, solving this.
This bug goes back to 2.4.18 at least, probably earlier.
