65329bf46b fs/select.c: fix information leak to userspace
On some architectures __kernel_suseconds_t is int.  On these archs struct
timeval has padding bytes at the end.  This struct is copied to userspace
with these padding bytes uninitialized.  This leads to leaking of contents
of kernel stack memory.

This bug was added with v2.6.27-rc5-286-gb773ad4.

ab6c937dba scripts/get_maintainer.pl: use --git-fallback more often

Turns out this is an arguable defect in the script.

The MAINTAINERS entry for mm is:

MEMORY MANAGEMENT
L:	linux-mm@kvack.org
W:	http://www.linux-mm.org
S:	Maintained
F:	include/linux/mm.h
F:	mm/

There's a maintainer entry, but no named individual, so the script doesn't
use git history via --git-fallback.

This is also a defect for MAINTAINERS with status entries marked "Orphan"
or "Odd fixes".

The script now checks a section for any "M:" entry and that an "S:" entry
is supported or maintained.  If both those conditions are not satisified,
use --git-fallback as appropriate.

This change based on the code of commit

fb842b00c5 printk: use RCU to prevent potential lock contention in kmsg_dump
dump_list_lock is used to protect dump_list in kmsg_dumper implementation,
kmsg_dump() uses it to traverse dump_list too.  But if there is contention
on the lock, kmsg_dump() will fail, and the valuable kernel message may be
lost.

This patch solves this issue with RCU.  Because kmsg_dump() only read the
list, no lock is needed in kmsg_dump().  So that kmsg_dump() will never
fail because of lock contention.

455cd5ab30 kptr_restrict for hiding kernel pointers from unprivileged users
Add the %pK printk format specifier and the /proc/sys/kernel/kptr_restrict
sysctl.

The %pK format specifier is designed to hide exposed kernel pointers,
specifically via /proc interfaces.  Exposing these pointers provides an
easy target for kernel write vulnerabilities, since they reveal the
locations of writable structures containing easily triggerable function
pointers.  The behavior of %pK depends on the kptr_restrict sysctl.

If kptr_restrict is set to 0, no deviation from the standard %p behavior
occurs.  If kptr_restrict is set to 1, the default, if the current user
(intended to be a reader via seq_printf(), etc.) does not have CAP_SYSLOG
(currently in the LSM tree), kernel pointers using %pK are printed as 0's.
 If kptr_restrict is set to 2, kernel pointers using %pK are printed as
0's regardless of privileges.  Replacing with 0's was chosen over the
default "(null)", which cannot be parsed by userland %p, which expects
"(nil)".

351f8f8e64 kernel: clean up USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS
For arch which needs USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, it has to select
USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, rather than leaving a choice to user, since they
don't provide their own implementions.

Also, move on_each_cpu() to kernel/smp.c, it is strange to put it in
kernel/softirq.c.

For arch which doesn't use USE_GENERIC_SMP_HELPERS, e.g.  blackfin, only
on_each_cpu() is compiled.

71a9048448 include/linux/kernel.h: abs(): fix handling of 32-bit unsigneds on 64-bit
Michal reports:

In the framebuffer subsystem the abs() macro is often used as a part of
the calculation of a Manhattan metric, which in turn is used as a measure
of similarity between video modes.  The arguments of abs() are sometimes
unsigned numbers.  This worked fine until commit a49c59c0 ("Make sure the
value in abs() does not get truncated if it is greater than 2^32:) , which
changed the definition of abs() to prevent truncation.  As a result of
this change, in the following piece of code:

u32 a = 0, b = 1;
u32 c = abs(a - b);

'c' will end up with a value of 0xffffffff instead of the expected 0x1.

A problem caused by this change and visible by the end user is that
framebuffer drivers relying on functions from modedb.c will fail to find
high resolution video modes similar to that explicitly requested by the
user if an exact match cannot be found (see e.g.

Fix this by special-casing `long' types within abs().

This patch reduces x86_64 code size a bit - drivers/video/uvesafb.o shrunk
by 15 bytes, presumably because it is doing abs() on 4-byte quantities,
and expanding those to 8-byte longs adds code.

testcase:

#define oldabs(x) ({				\
		long __x = (x);			\
		(__x < 0) ? -__x : __x;		\
	})

#define newabs(x) ({						\
		long ret;					\
		if (sizeof(x) == sizeof(long)) {		\
			long __x = (x);				\
			ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x;		\
		} else {					\
			int __x = (x);				\
			ret = (__x < 0) ? -__x : __x;		\
		}						\
		ret;						\
	})

typedef unsigned int u32;

main()
{
	u32 a = 0;
	u32 b = 1;
	u32 oldc = oldabs(a - b);
	u32 newc = newabs(a - b);

	printf("%u %u\n", oldc, newc);

  See: http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-trbl-spec.htm#Q-LINUX-SET-RTC-MMSS

Rather than just removing the message, make it show only once and reduce
severity since it indicates a normal and non urgent condition.

 My company has often experienced the followings in our support service.
 - Customer's system suddenly reboots.
 - Customers ask us to investigate the reason of the reboot.

We recognize the fact itself because boot messages remain in
/var/log/messages.  However, we can't investigate the reason why the
system rebooted, because the last messages don't remain.  And off course
we can't explain the reason.

We can solve above problem with this patch as follows.

 Case1: reboot with command
   - We can see "Restarting system with command:" or ""Restarting system.".

 Case2: halt with command
   - We can see "System halted.".

 Case3: poweroff with command
   - We can see " Power down.".

 Case4: emergency_restart with sysrq.
   - We can see "Sysrq:" outputted in __handle_sysrq().

 Case5: emergency_restart with softdog.
   - We can see "Initiating system reboot" in watchdog_fire().

So, we can distinguish the reason of reboot, poweroff, halt and emergency_restart.

If customer executed reboot command, you may think the customer should
know the fact.  However, they often claim they don't execute the command
when they rebooted system by mistake.

No message remains on the current Linux kernel, so we can't show the proof
to the customer.  This patch improves this situation.

This patch:

Alters mtdoops and ramoops to perform their actions only for
KMSG_DUMP_PANIC, KMSG_DUMP_OOPS and KMSG_DUMP_KEXEC because they would
like to log crashes only.

aff5ce6ca8 drivers/video/backlight/l4f00242t03.c: fix reset sequence
The reset command is part of the init sequence and it take effect
only if the lcd is powered.

The effect of the bug was that the sequence:
set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_POWERDOWN
set lcd power_state to FB_BLANK_UNBLANK
Did not produced a complete reboot of the LCD which was showing fuzzy
colours.

This was not experienced before implementing correctly all the LCD power
states with the patch [1].  Since before the patch [1] the regulators were
not touched and the LCD shutdown was reached with a register write.  After
the patch [1] a complete boot sequence with an initial reset is needed for
the display every time the LCD is powered up.

9f9455ae71 leds: add output inversion option to backlight trigger
Extend the LED backlight tirgger driver with an option that allows for
inverting the trigger output polarity.

With the invertion option provided, I (ab)use the backlight trigger for
driving a LED that indicates LCD display blank condtition on my Amstrad
Delta videophone.  Since the machine has no dedicated power LED, it was
not possible to distinguish if the display was blanked, or the machine was
turned off, without touching it.

The invert sysfs control is patterned after a similiar function of the GPIO
trigger driver.

61a83932b8 leds-lp5521: modify the way of setting led device name
Currently the led device name is fetched from the device_type in
I2C_BOARD_INFO which comes from the platform data.  This name is in turn
used to create an entry in sysfs.

If there exists two or more lp5521 on a particular platform, the
device_type in I2C_BOARD_INFO has to be the same, else lp5521 driver probe
wont be called and if used so, results in run time warning "cannot create
sysfs with same name" and hence a failure.

The name that is used to create sysfs entry is to be passed by the struct
led_platform_data.  Hence adding an element of type const char * and
change in lp5521 driver to use this name in creating the led device if
present else use the name obtained by I2C_BOARD_INFO.

Driver contained possibility for circular locking.

One lock is held by sysfs-core and another one by the driver itself.  This
happened when the driver created or removed sysfs entries dynamically.
There is no real need to do those operations.  Now all the sysfs entries
are created at probe and removed at removal.  Engine load sysfs entries
are now visible all the time.  However, access to the entries fails if the
engine is disabled or running.

in the new AR code broke compilation on sparc64.

Because the read-only mapping was just a debugging aid, just use
PAGE_KERNEL instead.
