[IA64] fix bug in sn/ia64 for sparse CPU numbering
The kernel's use of the for_each_*cpu(i) macros has allowed for sparse CPU
numbering. When I hacked the kernel to test sparse cpu_present_map[] and
cpu_possible_map[] cpumasks, I discovered one remaining spot, in
sn_hwperf_ioctl() during sn initialization, that needs to be fixed.

Kill the arq->state poison statement in as_add_request(), it can trigger

introduce a blk_init_request() to start from scratch, but for now just
kill it as we will be removing the as specific poisoning soon.

There is user data corruption when using ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) in 32-bit
application running amd64 kernel. I do not think that this problem is
exploitable, but any data corruption may lead to security problems.
Following code demonstrates the problem
main()
{
int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
struct ifconf req;
int i;
req.ifc_buf = buf;
req.ifc_len = 41;
printf("Result %d\n", ioctl(s, SIOCGIFCONF, &req));
printf("Len %d\n", req.ifc_len);
for (i = 41; i < 256; i++)
if (buf[i] != 0)
printf("Byte %d is corrupted\n", i);
}
Steps to reproduce:
Compile the code above into 32-bit elf and run it. You'll get
Result 0
Len 32
Byte 48 is corrupted
Byte 52 is corrupted
Byte 53 is corrupted
Byte 54 is corrupted
Byte 55 is corrupted

[PKT_SCHED]: sch_netem: correctly order packets to be sent simultaneously
If two packets were queued to be sent at the same time in the future,
their order would be reversed. This would occur because the queue is
traversed back to front, and a position is found by checking whether
the new packet needs to be sent before the packet being examined. If
the new packet is to be sent at the same time of a previous packet, it
would end up before the old packet in the queue. This patch places
packets in the correct order when they are queued to be sent at a same

Input: add Wistron driver
A driver for laptop buttons using an x86 BIOS interface that is
apparently used on quite a few laptops and seems to be originating
from Wistron.
This driver currently "knows" only about Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro V2000
(i.e. it can detect the laptop using DMI and it contains the
keycode->key meaning mapping for this laptop) and Xeron SonicPro X 155G
(probably can't be reliably autodetected, requires a module parameter),
adding other laptops should be easy.
In addition to reporting button presses to the input layer the driver
also allows enabling/disabling the embedded wireless NIC (using the
"Wifi" button); this is done using the same BIOS interface, so it seems
only logical to keep the implementation together. Any flexibility
possibly gained by allowing users to remap the function of the "Wifi"
button is IMHO not worth it when weighted against the necessity to run
an user-space daemon to convert button presses to wifi state changes.

We were using udelay in the loop on the primary cpu waiting for the

the udelay never terminated. This fixes it by not using udelay, and
increases the number of loops before we time out to compensate.
[ARM] 3168/1: Update ARM signal delivery and masking
Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz
After delivering a signal (creating its stack frame) we must check for
additional pending unblocked signals before returning to userspace.
Otherwise signals may be delayed past the next syscall or reschedule.
Once that was fixed it became obvious that the ARM signal mask manipulation
was broken. It was a little bit broken before the recent SA_NODEFER
changes, and then very broken after them. We must block the requested
signals before starting the handler or the same signal can be delivered
again before the handler even gets a chance to run.
