mm: dont clear PG_uptodate on truncate/invalidate

Brian Wang reported that a FUSE filesystem exported through NFS could
return I/O errors on read.  This was traced to splice_direct_to_actor()
returning a short or zero count when racing with page invalidation.

However this is not FUSE or NFSD specific, other filesystems (notably
NFS) also call invalidate_inode_pages2() to purge stale data from the
cache.

If this happens while such pages are sitting in a pipe buffer, then
splice(2) from the pipe can return zero, and read(2) from the pipe can
return ENODATA.

The zero return is especially bad, since it implies end-of-file or
disconnected pipe/socket, and is documented as such for splice.  But
returning an error for read() is also nasty, when in fact there was no
error (data becoming stale is not an error).

The same problems can be triggered by "hole punching" with
madvise(MADV_REMOVE).

Fix this by not clearing the PG_uptodate flag on truncation and
invalidation.

mm/hugetlb: don't crash when HPAGE_SHIFT is 0

Some platform decide whether they support huge pages at boot time.  On
these, such as powerpc, HPAGE_SHIFT is a variable, not a constant, and is
set to 0 when there is no such support.

The patches to introduce multiple huge pages support broke that causing
the kernel to crash at boot time on machines such as POWER3 which lack
support for multiple page sizes.

an underscore prefixed to them.  Thus all symbols in vmlinux.lds.h need to

PNP: fix formatting of dbg_pnp_show_resources() output

Each resource should be printed on its own line, so start snprintf'ing
at the beginning of the buffer every time through the loop.

Also, use scnprintf() rather than snprintf() when building up the
buffer to print.  scnprintf() returns the number of characters actually
written into the buffer (not including the trailing NULL).

snprintf() returns the number of characters that *would be* written,
assuming everything would fit in the buffer.  That's nice if we want to
resize the buffer to make sure everything fits, but in this case, I
just want to keep from overflowing the buffer, and it's OK if the
output is truncated.

Using snprintf() meant that my "len" could grow to be more than the
the buffer size, which makes "sizeof(buf) - len" negative, which causes
this alarming WARN_ON:

tracehook: fix exit_signal=0 case

My commit 2b2a1ff64afbadac842bbc58c5166962cf4f7664 introduced a regression
(sorry about that) for the odd case of exit_signal=0 (e.g. clone_flags=0).
This is not a normal use, but it's used by a case in the glibc test suite.

Dying with exit_signal=0 sends no signal, but it's supposed to wake up a
parent's blocked wait*() calls (unlike the delayed_group_leader case).
This fixes tracehook_notify_death() and its caller to distinguish a
"signal 0" wakeup from the delayed_group_leader case (with no wakeup).

16 years agokernel/audit.c control character detection is off-by-one

kernel/audit.c control character detection is off-by-one

Hello,

According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the
function:

   audit_string_contains_control()

in:

  kernel/audit.c

Patch is included.

I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for
example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via
call path:

avc_audit()
     audit_log_untrustedstring()
         audit_log_n_untrustedstring()
             audit_string_contains_control()

If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the
string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not
detected.

I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a
user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to
possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

[S390] qeth: avoid use of include/asm-s390

The planned move of include/asm-s390 to arch/s390/include/asm
requires that all includes for asm headers use include/asm and
not include/asm-s390.
