[PATCH] serial-cs and unusable port size ranges
A couple of GSM GPRS PCMCIA cards advertise 16 rather than 8 port sized
windows for their serial interface. This breaks our current pcmcia serial
driver which ignores any windows that are not 8 bytes.
To avoid any regressions on other cards given this driver contains a
certain amount of "magic" the patch below looks for 8 byte windows first so
will not break existing supported cards (I hope ;))

Currently metadata writing errors are ignored and not returned from
sys_fsync on ext2 and ext3 filesystems. That is, at least ext2 and ext3.
Both ext2 and ext3 resort to sync_inode() in their ->sync_inode method,
which in turn calls ->write_inode. ->write_inode method has void type, and
any IO errors happening inside are lost.
[PATCH] x86-64: sibling map fix for clustered mode
From: James Cleverdon
The value that cpuinfo returns for command 1 in ebx is the physical APIC ID
latched when the system comes out of reset.
Ordinarily, this is identical to the value in the local APIC's ID register,
because nearly all BIOSes accept the HW assigned value.
Our systems, made up of individual building blocks, can't do that. Each
node boots as a separate system and is joined together by the BIOS. Thus,
the BIOS rewrites the local APIC ID register with a new value.
Potomac and Nocona chips have a mechanism by which the BIOS writer can
change bits 7:5 to match the assigned cluster ID. Bits 2:0 come from the
thread ID. However, bits 4:3 are still those latched at reset. Oops!
Summary: Large clustered systems can't use cpuid to derive the sibling
information.
Fix: Use the local APIC ID. That's the value we use to online the CPUs, so
it had better be OK. For non-clustered systems, cpuid == local APIC, so
nothing but large boxes should be affected.

[PATCH] fix posix-timers leak
Exec fails to clean up posix-timers. This manifests itself in two ways, one
worse than the other. In the single-threaded case, it just fails to clear out
the timers on exec. POSIX says that exec clears out the timers from
timer_create (though not the setitimer ones), so it's wrong that a lingering
timer could fire after exec and kill the process with a signal it's not
expecting. In the multi-threaded case, it not only leaves lingering timers,
but it leaks them entirely when it replaces signal_struct, so they will never
be freed by the process exiting after that exec. The new per-user
RLIMIT_SIGPENDING actually limits the damage here, because a UID will fill up
its quota with leaked timers and then never be able to use timer_create again
(that's what my test program does). But if you have many many untrusted UIDs,
this leak could be considered a DoS risk.

There's one additional step we can do ontop of the ports-max code to get rid
of copying in X.org's case: cache the last task that set up the IO bitmap.
This means we can set the offset to invalid and keep the IO bitmap of that
task, and switch back to a valid offset (without any copying) when switching
back to that task. (or do a copy if there is another ioperm task we switch
to.)
I've attached ioport-cache-2.6.8.1.patch that implements this. When
there's a single active ioperm() using task in the system then the
context-switch overhead is very low and constant:
# ./ioperm-latency
default no ioperm: scheduling latency: 2478 cycles
turning on port 80 ioperm: scheduling latency: 2499 cycles
turning on port 65535 ioperm: scheduling latency: 2481 cycles
This single-ioperm-user situation matches 99% of the actual ioperm()
usage scenarios and gets rid of any copying whatsoever - without relying
on any fault mechanism. I can see no advantage of the GPF approach over
this patch.

[PATCH] hvc_console fix to protect hvc_write against ldisc write after hvc_close
Due to the tty ldisc code not stopping write operations against a driver
even after a tty has been closed I added a mechanism to hvc_console in my
previous patch to prevent this by nulling out the tty->driver_data in
hvc_close() but I forgot to check tty->driver_data in hvc_write(). Anton
Blanchard got several oops'es from hvc_write() accessing NULL as if it were
a pointer to an hvc_struct usually stored in tty->driver_data.
So this patch checks tty->driver_data in hvc_write() before it is used.
Hopefully once Alan Cox's patch is checked in ldisc writes won't continue
to happen after tty closes.
Anton Blanchard has tested this patch and is unable to reproduce the oops
with it applied.
Changelog:
drivers/char/hvc_console.c
- Added comment to hvc_close() to explain the reason for NULLing
tty->driver_data.
- Added check to hvc_write() to verify that tty->driver_data is valid
(NOT NULL) which would be the case if the write operation was invoked
after a tty close was initiated on the tty.

[PATCH] back out siginfo_t.si_rusage from waitid changes
As I explained in the waitid patches, I added the si_rusage field to
siginfo_t with the idea of having the siginfo_t waitid fills in contain all
the information that wait4 or any such call could ever tell you. Nowhere
in POSIX nor anywhere else specifies this field in siginfo_t.
When Ulrich and I hashed out the system call interface we wanted, we looked
at siginfo_t and decided there was plenty of space to throw in si_rusage.
Well, it turns out we didn't check the 64-bit platforms. There struct
rusage is ridiculously large (lots of longs for things that are never in a
million years going to hit 2^32), and my changes bumped up the size of
siginfo_t. Changing that size is more trouble than it's worth.
This patch reverts the changes to the siginfo_t structure types,
and no longer provides the rusage details in SIGCHLD signal data.
Instead, I added a fifth argument to the waitid system call to fill in rusage.
waitid is the name of the POSIX function with four arguments. It might
make sense to rename the system call `waitsys' to follow SGI's system call
with the same arguments, or `wait5' in the mindless tradition. But, feh.
I just added the argument to sys_waitid, rather than worrying about
changing the name in all the tables (and choosing a new stupid name).
