Andres Salomon 3ef0e1f8ca x86: olpc: add One Laptop Per Child architecture support
This adds support for OLPC XO hardware.  Open Firmware on XOs don't contain
the VSA, so it is necessary to emulate the PCI BARs in the kernel.  This also
adds functionality for running EC commands, and a CONFIG_OLPC.

A number of OLPC drivers depend upon CONFIG_OLPC.

olpc_ec_timeout is a hack to work around Embedded Controller bugs.

Michael Halcrow 6a3fd92e73 eCryptfs: make key module subsystem respect namespaces
Make eCryptfs key module subsystem respect namespaces.

Since I will be removing the netlink interface in a future patch, I just made
changes to the netlink.c code so that it will not break the build.  With my
recent patches, the kernel module currently defaults to the device handle
interface rather than the netlink interface.

Michael Halcrow f66e883eb6 eCryptfs: integrate eCryptfs device handle into the module.
Update the versioning information.  Make the message types generic.  Add an
outgoing message queue to the daemon struct.  Make the functions to parse
and write the packet lengths available to the rest of the module.  Add
functions to create and destroy the daemon structs.  Clean up some of the
comments and make the code a little more consistent with itself.

Michael Halcrow 8bf2debd5f eCryptfs: introduce device handle for userspace daemon communications
A regular device file was my real preference from the get-go, but I went with
netlink at the time because I thought it would be less complex for managing
send queues (i.e., just do a unicast and move on).  It turns out that we do
not really get that much complexity reduction with netlink, and netlink is
more heavyweight than a device handle.

In addition, the netlink interface to eCryptfs has been broken since 2.6.24.
I am assuming this is a bug in how eCryptfs uses netlink, since the other
in-kernel users of netlink do not seem to be having any problems.  I have had
one report of a user successfully using eCryptfs with netlink on 2.6.24, but
for my own systems, when starting the userspace daemon, the initial helo
message sent to the eCryptfs kernel module results in an oops right off the
bat.  I spent some time looking at it, but I have not yet found the cause.
The netlink interface breaking gave me the motivation to just finish my patch
to migrate to a regular device handle.  If I cannot find out soon why the
netlink interface in eCryptfs broke, I am likely to just send a patch to
disable it in 2.6.24 and 2.6.25.  I would like the device handle to be the
preferred means of communicating with the userspace daemon from 2.6.26 on
forward.

This patch:

Functions to facilitate reading and writing to the eCryptfs miscellaneous
device handle.  This will replace the netlink interface as the preferred
mechanism for communicating with the userspace eCryptfs daemon.

Each user has his own daemon, which registers itself by opening the eCryptfs
device handle.  Only one daemon per euid may be registered at any given time.
The eCryptfs module sends a message to a daemon by adding its message to the
daemon's outgoing message queue.  The daemon reads the device handle to get
the oldest message off the queue.

Incoming messages from the userspace daemon are immediately handled.  If the
message is a response, then the corresponding process that is blocked waiting
for the response is awakened.

Jan Engelhardt c9e587abfd vt: fix background color on line feed
A command that causes a line feed while a background color is active,
such as

	perl -e 'print "x" x 60, "\e[44m", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'
and
	perl -e 'print "x" x 40, "\e[44m\n", "x" x 40, "\e[0m\n"'

causes the line that was started as a result of the line feed to be completely
filled with the currently active background color instead of the default
color.

When scrolling, part of the current screen is memcpy'd/memmove'd to the new
region, and the new line(s) that will appear as a result are cleared using
memset.  However, the lines are cleared with vc->vc_video_erase_char, causing
them to be colored with the currently active background color.  This is
different from X11 terminal emulators which always paint the new lines with
the default background color (e.g.  `xterm -bg black`).

The clear operation (\e[1J and \e[2J) also use vc_video_erase_char, so a new
vc->vc_scrl_erase_char is introduced with contains the erase character used
for scrolling, which is built from vc->vc_def_color instead of vc->vc_color.

lib/inflate.c code for allocations, simply use kmalloc() and kfree() in the

Take that opportunity to remove the useless kmalloc() return value
cast.

Andy Whitcroft 9c9ba34ee3 update checkpatch.pl to version 0.18
This version brings a few fixes for the extern checks, and a couple of
new checks.

Of note:
 - false is now recognised as a 0 assignment in static/external
   assignments,
 - printf format strings including %L are reported,
 - a number of fixes for the extern in .c file detector which had
   temporarily lost its ability to detect variables; undetected due to
   the loss of its test.

Andy Whitcroft (8):
      Version: 0.18
      false should trip 0 assignment checks
      tests: reinstate missing tests
      tests: allow specification of the file extension for a test
      fix extern checks for variables
      check for and report %Lu, %Ld, and %Li
      ensure we only start a statement on lines with some content
      extern spacing

quote tracking, fixes to unary tracking, some clarification of wording, and
the usual slew of fixes for false positives.

Of note:
 - much better unary tracking across preprocessor directives
 - UTF8 checks highlight the character at fault
 - widening of mutex detection

Andy Whitcroft (17):
      Version: 0.17
      values: __attribute__ carries through the previous type
      quotes: should only follow "positive" lines
      clarify the indent tabs over spaces wording
      loosen NR_CPUS check for array range initialisers
      detect external function declarations without an extern prefix
      function declaration arguments should be with the identifier
      DEFINE_MUTEX should report in line with struct mutex
      NR_CPUS is valid in preprocessor statements
      comment detection should not start on the @@ line
      types: add support for #undef
      tighten mutex/completion reports to usage
      allow export of function pointers
      values: preprocessor #define is out of line maintain values
      values: #define does not always have parentheses
      unary '*' may be const
      utf8 checks should report location of the invalid character

Pavel Emelyanov 3a2e7f47d7 binfmt_misc.c: avoid potential kernel stack overflow
This can be triggered with root help only, but...

Register the ":text:E::txt::/root/cat.txt:' rule in binfmt_misc (by root) and
try launching the cat.txt file (by anyone) :) The result is - the endless
recursion in the load_misc_binary -> open_exec -> load_misc_binary chain and
stack overflow.

There's a similar problem with binfmt_script, and there's a sh_bang memner on
linux_binprm structure to handle this, but simply raising this in binfmt_misc
may break some setups when the interpreter of some misc binaries is a script.

So the proposal is to turn sh_bang into a bit, add a new one (the misc_bang)
and raise it in load_misc_binary.  After this, even if we set up the misc ->
script -> misc loop for binfmts one of them will step on its own bang and
exit.

Rik van Riel 5045bcae0f sysrq: add show-backtrace-on-all-cpus function
SysRQ-P is not always useful on SMP systems, since it usually ends up showing
the backtrace of a CPU that is doing just fine, instead of the backtrace of
the CPU that is having problems.

This patch adds SysRQ show-all-cpus(L), which shows the backtrace of every
active CPU in the system.  It skips idle CPUs because some SMP systems are
just too large and we already know what the backtrace of the idle task looks
like.

Tetsuo Handa 175a06ae30 exec: remove argv_len from struct linux_binprm
I noticed that 2.6.24.2 calculates bprm->argv_len at do_execve().  But it
doesn't update bprm->argv_len after "remove_arg_zero() +
copy_strings_kernel()" at load_script() etc.

audit_bprm() is called from search_binary_handler() and
search_binary_handler() is called from load_script() etc.  Thus, I think the
condition check

  if (bprm->argv_len > (audit_argv_kb << 10))
          return -E2BIG;

in audit_bprm() might return wrong result when strlen(removed_arg) !=
strlen(spliced_args).  Why not update bprm->argv_len at load_script() etc.  ?

By the way, 2.6.25-rc3 seems to not doing the condition check.  Is the field
bprm->argv_len no longer needed?
