RTCs: handle NVRAM better
Several of the RTC drivers are exporting binary "nvram" files in sysfs. Such
NVRAM (or on many systems, EEPROM) data is often initialized during system
manufacture to hold data about identity (serial numbers, Ethernet addresses,
etc), configuration, calibration, and so forth.
This patch improves integrity and security of those files:
- Correctly initializes the size in one of the two cases where
that was not yet being done.
- Improves system security/integrity by making this state not
be world-writable by default.
Letting arbitrary userspace code mangle such state by default is at least Not
A Good Thing; and it could sometimes be worse, depending on the particular
data that might be corrupted. (I disregard the paranoiac "don't let anyone
read it either" approach. Anyone storing passwords in such memory doesn't
really care about security.)

rtc_hctosys expects RTCs in UTC (doc)
The RTC "hctosys" mechanism expects that RTC clock will use UTC, not local
time (e.g. PST). Say so in Kconfig and in the kernel message.
(Strictly speaking, the RTC clock should be tracking the POSIX epoch. That's
not worth going into here. Goofing timezones means clocks are wrong by many
hours; the POSIX-v-UTC differences just cost seconds.)

The cost of doing the bitmap validation on each lookup - even when the

should, do it only when adding the bitmap to the buffer cache. However,
right now we are better off just reverting it.
Peter Zijlstra measured the cost of this extra validation as a 85%

if RLIMIT_CORE prevents any core from being dumped). The effect of
this (via task_dumpable) is to make /proc/pid/* files owned by root
instead of the user, so the user can no longer examine his own
process--in a case where there was never any privileged data to
protect. This affects e.g. auxv, environ, fd; in Fedora (execshield)
kernels, also maps. In practice, you can only notice this when a
debugger has requested PTRACE_EVENT_EXIT tracing.
set_dumpable was only used in do_coredump for synchronization and not
intended for any security purpose. (It doesn't secure anything that wasn't
already unsecured when a process dies by SIGTERM instead of SIGQUIT.)
This changes do_coredump to check the core_waiters count as the means of
synchronization, which is sufficient. Now we leave the "dumpable" bits alone.

Fix memory leak in discard case of sctp_sf_abort_violation()
In net/sctp/sm_statefuns.c::sctp_sf_abort_violation() we may leak
the storage allocated for 'abort' by returning from the function
without using or freeing it. This happens in case
"sctp_auth_recv_cid(SCTP_CID_ABORT, asoc)" is true and we jump to
the 'discard' label.
Spotted by the Coverity checker.
The simple fix is to simply move the creation of the "abort chunk"
to after the possible jump to the 'discard' label. This way we don't
even have to allocate the memory at all in the problem case.

virtio: Force use of power-of-two for descriptor ring sizes
The virtio descriptor rings of size N-1 were nicely set up to be
aligned to an N-byte boundary. But as Anthony Liguori points out, the
free-running indices used by virtio require that the sizes be a power
of 2, otherwise we get problems on wrap (demonstrated with lguest).
So we replace the clever "2^n-1" scheme with a simple "align to page
boundary" scheme: this means that all virtio rings take at least two
pages, but it's safer than guessing cache alignment.

virtio: Fix used_idx wrap-around
The more_used() function compares the vq->vring.used->idx with last_used_idx.
Since vq->vring.used->idx is a 16-bit integer, and last_used_idx is an
unsigned int, this results in unpredictable behavior when vq->vring.used->idx
wraps around.

mac80211: make "decrypt failed" messages conditional upon MAC80211_DEBUG
Make "decrypt failed" and "have no key" debugging messages compile
conditionally upon CONFIG_MAC80211_DEBUG. They have been useful for

A typical example is an enviornment where multiple SSIDs are using a
