f96526354b ps3: FLASH ROM Storage Driver
Add a FLASH ROM Storage Driver for the PS3:
  - Implemented as a misc character device driver
  - Uses a fixed 256 KiB buffer allocated from boot memory as the hypervisor
    requires the writing of aligned 256 KiB blocks

522ed7767e Audit: add TTY input auditing
Add TTY input auditing, used to audit system administrator's actions.  This is
required by various security standards such as DCID 6/3 and PCI to provide
non-repudiation of administrator's actions and to allow a review of past
actions if the administrator seems to overstep their duties or if the system
becomes misconfigured for unknown reasons.  These requirements do not make it
necessary to audit TTY output as well.

Compared to an user-space keylogger, this approach records TTY input using the
audit subsystem, correlated with other audit events, and it is completely
transparent to the user-space application (e.g.  the console ioctls still
work).

TTY input auditing works on a higher level than auditing all system calls
within the session, which would produce an overwhelming amount of mostly
useless audit events.

Add an "audit_tty" attribute, inherited across fork ().  Data read from TTYs
by process with the attribute is sent to the audit subsystem by the kernel.
The audit netlink interface is extended to allow modifying the audit_tty
attribute, and to allow sending explanatory audit events from user-space (for
example, a shell might send an event containing the final command, after the
interactive command-line editing and history expansion is performed, which
might be difficult to decipher from the TTY input alone).

Because the "audit_tty" attribute is inherited across fork (), it would be set
e.g.  for sshd restarted within an audited session.  To prevent this, the
audit_tty attribute is cleared when a process with no open TTY file
descriptors (e.g.  after daemon startup) opens a TTY.

See https://www.redhat.com/archives/linux-audit/2007-June/msg00000.html for a
more detailed rationale document for an older version of this patch.

59f5d35f83 [PATCH] Remove old HW RNG support
This patch series replaces the old non-generic Hardware Random Number
Generator support by a fully generic RNG API.

This makes it possible to register additional RNGs from modules.  With this
patch series applied, Laptops with a bcm43xx chip (PowerBook) have a HW RNG
available now.

Additionally two new RNG drivers are added for the "ixp4xx" and "omap"
devices.  (Written by Deepak Saxena).  This patch series includes the old
patches by Deepak Saxena.

The old x86-rng driver has beed split.

The userspace RNG daemon can later be updated to select the RNG through
/sys/class/misc/hw_random/ for convenience.  For now it is sufficient to use
cat and echo -n on the sysfs attributes.

938473b246 [PATCH] powerpc: console_initcall ordering issues
From: Milton Miller <miltonm@bga.com>

The add_preferred_console call in rtas_console.c was not causing the
console to be selected.  It turns out that the add_preferred_console was
being called after the hvc_console driver was registered.  It only works
when it is called before the console driver is registered.

Reorder hvc_console.o after the hvc_console drivers to allow the selection
during console_initcall processing.
