x86: fix taking DNA during 64bit sigreturn
restore sigcontext is taking a DNA exception while restoring FP context

core dump: remain dumpable
The coredump code always calls set_dumpable(0) when it starts (even
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.

add support for smc91x ethernet interface on zylonite
This patch adds LAN91C111 ethernet interface support for zylonite
(a.k.a Marvell's PXA3xx Development Platform) with smc91x driver.
It would be better if a patch would support zylonite along with all
other PXA boards with a single binary of smc91x driver, but it looks
quite difficult for the moment, so ugly #ifdef is still used here.

The PCI AER support may not work for a couple of reasons.
It may not be configured into the kernel or there may be a BIOS
bug that prevents MMCONFIG from working. If MMCONFIG doesn't work
then the PCI registers that control AER will not be accessible via
pci_read_config functions; luckly there is another window to access
PCI space in the device, so use that.

The D-Link PCI-X board (and maybe others) can lie about status
ring entries. It seems it will update the register for last status
index before completing the DMA for the ring entry. To avoid reading
stale data, zap the old entry and check.

x86 - 32-bit ptrace emulation mishandles 6th arg
[ jdike - Pushing Chuck's patch - see
http://lkml.org/lkml/2005/9/16/261 for some history and a test
program. UML is also broken without this patch - its processes get
SIGBUS from the corrupt 6th argument to mmap being interpretted as a
file offset ]
When the 32-bit vDSO is used to make a system call, the %ebp register for
the 6th syscall arg has to be loaded from the user stack (where it's pushed
by the vDSO user code). The native i386 kernel always does this before
stopping for syscall tracing, so %ebp can be seen and modified via ptrace
to access the 6th syscall argument. The x86-64 kernel fails to do this,
presenting the stack address to ptrace instead. This makes the %rbp value
seen by 64-bit ptrace of a 32-bit process, and the %ebp value seen by a
32-bit caller of ptrace, both differ from the native i386 behavior.
This patch fixes the problem by putting the word loaded from the user stack
into %rbp before calling syscall_trace_enter, and reloading the 6th syscall
argument from there afterwards (so ptrace can change it). This makes the
behavior match that of i386 kernels.

x86_64: ia32 ptrace THREAD_AREA fix
The addr argument to PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA and PTRACE_SET_THREAD_AREA is
not a magic constant. It's derived from the segment register values being
used, which are computed originally from the index used with set_thread_area.
The value does not need to match what a native i386 kernel would accept.
It needs to match the segment selectors that can actually be in use in this
32-bit process. The 64-bit ptrace support for PTRACE_GET_THREAD_AREA
(normally used only on 32-bit processes) is correct, but the 32-bit emulation
of ptrace is broken.

[FUTEX] Fix address computation in compat code.
compat_exit_robust_list() computes a pointer to the
futex entry in userspace as follows:
(void __user *)entry + futex_offset
'entry' is a 'struct robust_list __user *', and
'futex_offset' is a 'compat_long_t' (typically a 's32').
Things explode if the 32-bit sign bit is set in futex_offset.
Type promotion sign extends futex_offset to a 64-bit value before
adding it to 'entry'.
This triggered a problem on sparc64 running 32-bit applications which
would lock up a cpu looping forever in the fault handling for the
userspace load in handle_futex_death().
Compat userspace runs with address masking (wherein the cpu zeros out
the top 32-bits of every effective address given to a memory operation
instruction) so the sparc64 fault handler accounts for this by
zero'ing out the top 32-bits of the fault address too.
Since the kernel properly uses the compat_uptr interfaces, kernel side
accesses to compat userspace work too since they will only use
addresses with the top 32-bit clear.
Because of this compat futex layer bug we get into the following loop
when executing the get_user() load near the top of handle_futex_death():
1) load from address '0xfffffffff7f16bd8', FAULT
2) fault handler clears upper 32-bits, processes fault
for address '0xf7f16bd8' which succeeds
3) goto #1
I want to thank Bernd Zeimetz, Josip Rodin, and Fabio Massimo Di Nitto
for their tireless efforts helping me track down this bug.

[CIFS] fix oops on second mount to same server when null auth is used
When a share is mounted using no username, cifs_mount sets
volume_info.username as a NULL pointer, and the sesInfo userName as an
empty string. The volume_info.username is passed to a couple of other
functions to see if there is an existing unc or tcp connection that can
be used. These functions assume that the username will be a valid
string that can be passed to strncmp. If the pointer is NULL, then the
kernel will oops if there's an existing session to which the string
can be compared.
This patch changes cifs_mount to set volume_info.username to an empty
string in this situation, which prevents the oops and should make it
so that the comparison to other null auth sessions match.
