fix setuid sometimes doesn't
Joe Malicki reports that setuid sometimes doesn't: very rarely,
a setuid root program does not get root euid; and, by the way,
they have a health check running lsof every few minutes.
Right, check_unsafe_exec() notes whether the files_struct is being
shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so
sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid.
But /proc/<pid>/fd and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo lookups make transient
use of get_files_struct(), which also raises that sharing count.
There's a rather simple fix for this: exec's check on files->count
has been redundant ever since 2.6.1 made it unshare_files() (except
while compat_do_execve() omitted to do so) - just remove that check.
[Note to -stable: this patch will not apply before 2.6.29: earlier
releases should just remove the files->count line from unsafe_exec().]

compat_do_execve should unshare_files
2.6.26's commit
fd8328be874f4190a811c58cd4778ec2c74d2c05
"sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()"
moved the unshare_files() from flush_old_exec() and several binfmts
to the head of do_execve(); but forgot to make the same change to
compat_do_execve(), leaving a CLONE_FILES files_struct shared across
exec from a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel.
It's arguable whether the files_struct really ought to be unshared
across exec; but 2.6.1 made that so to stop the loading binary's fd
leaking into other threads, and a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel
ought to behave in the same way as 32 on 32 and 64 on 64.

mac80211/iwlwifi: move virtual A-MDPU queue bookkeeping to iwlwifi
This patch removes all the virtual A-MPDU-queue bookkeeping from
mac80211. Curiously, iwlwifi already does its own bookkeeping, so
it doesn't require much changes except where it needs to handle
starting and stopping the queues in mac80211.
To handle the queue stop/wake properly, we rewrite the software
queue number for aggregation frames and internally to iwlwifi keep
track of the queues that map into the same AC queue, and only talk
to mac80211 about the AC queue. The implementation requires calling
two new functions, iwl_stop_queue and iwl_wake_queue instead of the
mac80211 counterparts.

mac80211: fix aggregation to not require queue stop
Instead of stopping the entire AC queue when enabling aggregation
(which was only done for hardware with aggregation queues) buffer
the packets for each station, and release them to the pending skb
queue once aggregation is turned on successfully.
We get a little more code, but it becomes conceptually simpler and
we can remove the entire virtual queue mechanism from mac80211 in
a follow-up patch.
This changes how mac80211 behaves towards drivers that support
aggregation but have no hardware queues -- those drivers will now
not be handed packets while the aggregation session is being
established, but only after it has been fully established.

When TX aggregation becomes operational, we do a number of steps:

2) wake the virtual queue
3) notify the driver
Unfortunately, 1) and 3) are only done if the driver is first to
reply to the aggregation request, it is, however, possible that the
remote station replies before the driver! Thus, unify the code for
this and call the new function ieee80211_agg_tx_operational in both

(IEEE80211_MONITORING_INTERVAL). Decrease the timer to only trigger during
data idle periods to avoid waking up CPU unnecessary. The timer will
still trigger during idle periods, that needs to be fixed later.
There's also a functional change that probe requests are sent only when the
data path is idle, earlier they were sent also while there was activity
on the data path.
This is also preparation for the beacon filtering support. Thanks to
Johannes Berg for the idea.

mac80211: remove mixed-cell and userspace MLME code
Neither can currently be set from userspace, so there's no
regression potential, and neither will be supported from
userspace since the new userspace APIs allow the SME, which
is in userspace, to control all we need.

cfg80211: remove code about country IE support with OLD_REG
We had left in code to allow interested developers to add

This never happened and since we're going to remove OLD_REG
lets just remove these comments and code for it.
This code path was never being entered so this has no

cfg80211: make regdom module parameter available oustide of OLD_REG
It seems a few users are using this module parameter although its not
recommended. People are finding it useful despite there being utilities
for setting this in userspace. I'm not aware of any distribution using
this though.
Until userspace and distributions catch up with a default userspace
automatic replacement (GeoClue integration would be nirvana) we copy
the ieee80211_regdom module parameter from OLD_REG to the new reg
code to help these users migrate.
Users who are using the non-valid ISO / IEC 3166 alpha "EU" in their
ieee80211_regdom module parameter and migrate to non-OLD_REG enabled
system will world roam.
This also schedules removal of this same ieee80211_regdom module
parameter circa March 2010. Hope is by then nirvana is reached and
users will abandoned the module parameter completely.

cfg80211: fix incorrect assumption on last_request for 11d
The incorrect assumption is the last regulatory request
(last_request) is always a country IE when processing
country IEs. Although this is true 99% of the time the
first time this happens this could not be true.
This fixes an oops in the branch check for the last_request
when accessing drv_last_ie. The access was done under the
assumption the struct won't be null.
Note to stable: to port to 29 replace as follows, only 29 has
country IE code:
