We can do this easily because simcons is always statically linked, but other tty drivers that depend on tty_init and which must use `module_init' to declare their init routines are likely to be broken.

We ran into this when a borked powerpc64-linux toolchain set the interpreter on our 64-bit app to our 32-bit ld.so. Executing the app caused the kernel to really chew up memory. I'm assuming x86_64 and sparc64 might possibly see the same behavior. Note I'm not sure of the history behind INTERPRETER_AOUT, so I added the test for INTERPRETER_ELF so as not to change it's behavior in case someone still relies on it. As an aside, it seems the elf_check_arch() macros should really be checking for more than a valid e_machine value. I'd think checking one or more of the e_ident[EI_CLASS], e_ident[EI_DATA] and e_ident[EI_OSABI] values would be required as well, no?

But it's a useful check in a fragile area, so retain it when not in shmem_truncate.

It couldn't have caused a BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks), but if i_size is reduced (from another cpu) the instant after shmem_swp_alloc checks it, shmem_getpage could insert a page into the cache just after truncate_inode_pages has passed through cleaning it, leaving stale data (which may mysteriously reappear if the file is later extended). Easily fixed for tmpfs, using the mechanism just added for swapoff; and probably more important there, since its read from swap can insert non-0 data. But is there not a similar issue, a tiny window, in filemap.c? if truncate_inode_pages comes in between checking i_size and adding new page to cache. Not worth getting excited, but something to beware of.

Kostyliov reported a tmpfs BUG_ON(inode->i_blocks) during swapoff: my last version of the fix to swapoff/truncate race was inadequate, since I_FREEING might get set or i_size be reduced (from another cpu) the instant after it's tested here. So revert to the previous version of the fix, shmem_truncate calling truncate_inode_pages again, if pages still left in cache; but avoid the recall in usual cases of partial truncation, by having a "pagein" flag to indicate when recall might be necessary. (Since those flags already use VM_ACCOUNT and VM_LOCKED, must redefine another VM_flag for this.) Sergey and 2.4-aa have run fine with this for a couple of months.

It delays starting the adjtime mechanism for one tick, and keeps gettimeofday inside the window. Only fixes i386, but changes to other arch would be similar.

Rajesh" If a vma is already present in an i_mmap list of a mapping, then it is racy to update the vm_start, vm_end, and vm_pgoff members of the vma without holding the mapping's i_shared_sem. This is because the updates can race with invalidate_mmap_range_list. I audited all the places that assign vm_start, vm_end, and vm_pgoff. AFAIK, the following is the list of questionable places: 1) This patch fixes the racy split_vma. Kernel 2.4 does the right thing, but the following changesets introduced a race. http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/patch@1.536.34.4 http://linux.bkbits.net:8080/linux-2.5/patch@1.536.34.5 You can use the patch and programs in the following URL to trigger the race. http://www-personal.engin.umich.edu/~vrajesh/linux/truncate-race/ 2) This patch also locks a small racy window in vma_merge. 3) In few cases vma_merge and do_mremap expand a vma by adding extra length to vm_end without holding i_shared_sem. I think that's fine. 4) In arch/sparc64, vm_end is updated without holding i_shared_sem. Check make_hugetlb_page_present. I hope that is fine, but I am not sure.

Sysctl assumes its ctl_table.procname field is const, but the networking points ctl_table.procname to dev->name. When renaming a network device using SIOCSIFNAME, dev->name is modified and sysctl's assumption breaks, causing this behaviour, at least: 1. sysctl wouldn't be able to remove the proc entry when the device requests to be unregistered, because it would be using the new name instead of the old one. 2. proc entries for devices remain with the old name after rename. This change includes allocating the current device name to a new copy upon registering with sysctl, plus re-registering with sysctl when the device is renamed. This only fixes IPv4, IPv6, and net/core/neightbour.c. Fixes for ax25 and decnet are also planned.

With that combination the late-boot code does temporary mount of devfs over rootfs /dev, which made /dev/initrd inaccessible. For setups without devfs that didn't happen. The fix is trivial - put the file in question outside of /dev; IOW, we simply replace "/dev/initrd" with "/initrd.image" in init/*.

When raid0 needs to split a request, it uses 'block' (1K) addresses rather than sector (512b) addresses, which causes problems if the sector address is odd. This patch fixes the problem.

Misch" The Silicon Image driver is not building properly when CONFIG_PROC_FS is unset. This patch corrects that problem. It appears as though several utility functions at the top of drivers/ide/pci/siimage.c that the driver always needs accidentally fell within an #ifdef CONFIG_PROC_FS. I also removed an excess include while I noticed it.

There's a hole at 0xa0000-0xc0000, so we should ignore all the WB memory in that granule.
