[IA64] Fix unaligned handler for floating point instructions with base update

2008-07-19T20:45:33Z

The compiler team did the hard work for this distilling a problem in large fortran application which showed up when applied to a 290MB input data set down to this instruction: ldfd f34=[r17],-8 Which they noticed incremented r17 by 0x10 rather than decrementing it by 8 when the value in r17 caused an unaligned data fault. I tracked it down to some bad instruction decoding in unaligned.c. The code assumes that the 'x' bit can determine whether the instruction is an "ldf" or "ldfp" ... which it is for opcode=6 (see table 4-29 on page 3:302 of the SDM). But for opcode=7 the 'x' bit is irrelevent, all variants are "ldf" instructions (see table 4-36 on page 3:306). Note also that interpreting the instruction as "ldfp" means that the "paired" floating point register (f35 in the example here) will also be corrupted.

V4L/DVB (3393): Cx88: reduce excessive logging

2008-07-19T20:39:40Z

- fix temporary debug code by changing printk to dprintk at level 1. - move CORE_IOCTL messages from level 1 to level 2. - this should help with selective debugging, while not filling people's logs up during normal use.

sctp: Make sure N * sizeof(union sctp_addr) does not overflow. (CVE-2008-2826)

2008-07-19T20:31:06Z

As noticed by Gabriel Campana, the kmalloc() length arg passed in by sctp_getsockopt_local_addrs_old() can overflow if ->addr_num is large enough. Therefore, enforce an appropriate limit. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

mm: trim more holes (CVE-2008-0598)

2008-07-19T20:29:02Z

If prepare_write fails with AOP_TRUNCATED_PAGE, or if commit_write fails, then we may have failed the write operation despite prepare_write having instantiated blocks past i_size. Fix this, and consolidate the trimming into one place. Signed-off-by: Nick Piggin Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk

USB: remove short initial timeout for device descriptor fetch

2008-07-19T19:46:12Z

This patch (as905) removes a micro-optimization from the hub port initialization code. Previously we had been using a short timeout on the first attempt the read the device descriptor; now we will use the standard timeout length. It's not clear that the short timeout ever provided any benefit. And now we know of one case where it actually hurts: The device can't meet the short timeout and then it gets terminally confused.

moduleparam: fix alpha, ia64 and ppc64 compile failures

2008-07-19T12:57:03Z

On alpha, ia64 and ppc64 only relocations to local data can go into read-only sections. The vast majority of module parameters use the global generic param_set_*/param_get_* functions, so the 'const' attribute for struct kernel_param is not only useless, but it also causes compile failures due to 'section type conflict' in those rare cases where param_set/get are local functions.
