1783e4bf6f drm radeon: Return -EINVAL on wrong pm sysfs access
Throw an error if someone tries to fill this with
wrong data, instead of simply ignoring the input.
Now you get:

echo hello >/sys/../power_method
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

fafcf94e2b drm/radeon/kms: fix hardcoded EDID handling
On some servers there is a hardcoded EDID provided
in the vbios so that the driver will always see a
display connected even if something like a KVM
prevents traditional means like DDC or load
detection from working properly.  Also most
server boards with DVI are not actually DVI, but
DVO connected to a virtual KVM service processor.
If we fail to detect a monitor via DDC or load
detection and a hardcoded EDID is available, use
it.

Additionally, when using the hardcoded EDID, use
a copy of it rather than the actual one stored
in the driver as the detect() and get_modes()
functions may free it if DDC is successful.

This fixes the virtual KVM on several internal
servers.

f0c8602464 Revert "drm/i915: Don't save/restore hardware status page address register"
This reverts commit a7a75c8f70.

There are two different variations on how Intel hardware addresses the
"Hardware Status Page". One as a location in physical memory and the
other as an offset into the virtual memory of the GPU, used in more
recent chipsets. (The HWS itself is a cacheable region of memory which
the GPU can write to without requiring CPU synchronisation, used for
updating various details of hardware state, such as the position of
the GPU head in the ringbuffer, the last breadcrumb seqno, etc).

These two types of addresses were updated in different locations of code
- one inline with the ringbuffer initialisation, and the other during
device initialisation. (The HWS page is logically associated with
the rings, and there is one HWS page per ring.) During resume, only the
ringbuffers were being re-initialised along with the virtual HWS page,
leaving the older physical address HWS untouched. This then caused a
hang on the older gen3/4 (915GM, 945GM, 965GM) the first time we tried
to synchronise the GPU as the breadcrumbs were never being updated.

93a72052be crash_dump: export is_kdump_kernel to modules, consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn
The Xen PV drivers in a crashed HVM guest can not connect to the dom0
backend drivers because both frontend and backend drivers are still in
connected state.  To run the connection reset function only in case of a
crashdump, the is_kdump_kernel() function needs to be available for the PV
driver modules.

Consolidate elfcorehdr_addr, setup_elfcorehdr and saved_max_pfn into
kernel/crash_dump.c Also export elfcorehdr_addr to make is_kdump_kernel()
usable for modules.

Leave 'elfcorehdr' as early_param().  This changes powerpc from __setup()
to early_param().  It adds an address range check from x86 also on ia64
and powerpc.

3486740a4f userns: security: make capabilities relative to the user namespace
- Introduce ns_capable to test for a capability in a non-default
  user namespace.
- Teach cap_capable to handle capabilities in a non-default
  user namespace.

The motivation is to get to the unprivileged creation of new
namespaces.  It looks like this gets us 90% of the way there, with
only potential uid confusion issues left.

I still need to handle getting all caps after creation but otherwise I
think I have a good starter patch that achieves all of your goals.

Changelog:
	11/05/2010: [serge] add apparmor
	12/14/2010: [serge] fix capabilities to created user namespaces
	Without this, if user serge creates a user_ns, he won't have
	capabilities to the user_ns he created.  THis is because we
	were first checking whether his effective caps had the caps
	he needed and returning -EPERM if not, and THEN checking whether
	he was the creator.  Reverse those checks.
	12/16/2010: [serge] security_real_capable needs ns argument in !security case
	01/11/2011: [serge] add task_ns_capable helper
	01/11/2011: [serge] add nsown_capable() helper per Bastian Blank suggestion
	02/16/2011: [serge] fix a logic bug: the root user is always creator of
		    init_user_ns, but should not always have capabilities to
		    it!  Fix the check in cap_capable().
	02/21/2011: Add the required user_ns parameter to security_capable,
		    fixing a compile failure.
	02/23/2011: Convert some macros to functions as per akpm comments.  Some
		    couldn't be converted because we can't easily forward-declare
		    them (they are inline if !SECURITY, extern if SECURITY).  Add
		    a current_user_ns function so we can use it in capability.h
		    without #including cred.h.  Move all forward declarations
		    together to the top of the #ifdef __KERNEL__ section, and use
		    kernel-doc format.
	02/23/2011: Per dhowells, clean up comment in cap_capable().
	02/23/2011: Per akpm, remove unreachable 'return -EPERM' in cap_capable.

59607db367 userns: add a user_namespace as creator/owner of uts_namespace
The expected course of development for user namespaces targeted
capabilities is laid out at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/UserNamespace.

Goals:

- Make it safe for an unprivileged user to unshare namespaces.  They
  will be privileged with respect to the new namespace, but this should
  only include resources which the unprivileged user already owns.

- Provide separate limits and accounting for userids in different
  namespaces.

Status:

  Currently (as of 2.6.38) you can clone with the CLONE_NEWUSER flag to
  get a new user namespace if you have the CAP_SYS_ADMIN, CAP_SETUID, and
  CAP_SETGID capabilities.  What this gets you is a whole new set of
  userids, meaning that user 500 will have a different 'struct user' in
  your namespace than in other namespaces.  So any accounting information
  stored in struct user will be unique to your namespace.

  However, throughout the kernel there are checks which

  - simply check for a capability.  Since root in a child namespace
    has all capabilities, this means that a child namespace is not
    constrained.

  - simply compare uid1 == uid2.  Since these are the integer uids,
    uid 500 in namespace 1 will be said to be equal to uid 500 in
    namespace 2.

  As a result, the lxc implementation at lxc.sf.net does not use user
  namespaces.  This is actually helpful because it leaves us free to
  develop user namespaces in such a way that, for some time, user
  namespaces may be unuseful.

Bugs aside, this patchset is supposed to not at all affect systems which
are not actively using user namespaces, and only restrict what tasks in
child user namespace can do.  They begin to limit privilege to a user
namespace, so that root in a container cannot kill or ptrace tasks in the
parent user namespace, and can only get world access rights to files.
Since all files currently belong to the initila user namespace, that means
that child user namespaces can only get world access rights to *all*
files.  While this temporarily makes user namespaces bad for system
containers, it starts to get useful for some sandboxing.

I've run the 'runltplite.sh' with and without this patchset and found no
difference.

This patch:

copy_process() handles CLONE_NEWUSER before the rest of the namespaces.
So in the case of clone(CLONE_NEWUSER|CLONE_NEWUTS) the new uts namespace
will have the new user namespace as its owner.  That is what we want,
since we want root in that new userns to be able to have privilege over
it.

Changelog:
	Feb 15: don't set uts_ns->user_ns if we didn't create
		a new uts_ns.
	Feb 23: Move extern init_user_ns declaration from
		init/version.c to utsname.h.

45a68628d3 pid: remove the child_reaper special case in init/main.c
This patchset is a cleanup and a preparation to unshare the pid namespace.
These prerequisites prepare for Eric's patchset to give a file descriptor
to a namespace and join an existing namespace.

This patch:

It turns out that the existing assignment in copy_process of the
child_reaper can handle the initial assignment of child_reaper we just
need to generalize the test in kernel/fork.c

bfdc0b497f sysctl: restrict write access to dmesg_restrict
When dmesg_restrict is set to 1 CAP_SYS_ADMIN is needed to read the kernel
ring buffer.  But a root user without CAP_SYS_ADMIN is able to reset
dmesg_restrict to 0.

This is an issue when e.g.  LXC (Linux Containers) are used and complete
user space is running without CAP_SYS_ADMIN.  A unprivileged and jailed
root user can bypass the dmesg_restrict protection.

With this patch writing to dmesg_restrict is only allowed when root has
CAP_SYS_ADMIN.

put_tty_driver calls tty_driver_kref_put on its argument, and then
tty_driver_kref_put calls kref_put on the address of a field of this
argument.  kref_put checks for NULL, but in this case the field is likely
to have some offset and so the result of taking its address will not be
NULL.  Labels are added to be able to skip over the call to put_tty_driver
when the argument will be NULL.

5883f57ca0 proc: protect mm start_code/end_code in /proc/pid/stat
While mm->start_stack was protected from cross-uid viewing (commit
f83ce3e6b0 ("proc: avoid information leaks to non-privileged
processes")), the start_code and end_code values were not.  This would
allow the text location of a PIE binary to leak, defeating ASLR.

Note that the value "1" is used instead of "0" for a protected value since
"ps", "killall", and likely other readers of /proc/pid/stat, take
start_code of "0" to mean a kernel thread and will misbehave.  Thanks to
Brad Spengler for pointing this out.

312ec7e50c proc: make struct proc_dir_entry::namelen unsigned int
1. namelen is declared "unsigned short" which hints for "maybe space savings".
   Indeed in 2.4 struct proc_dir_entry looked like:

        struct proc_dir_entry {
                unsigned short low_ino;
                unsigned short namelen;

   Now, low_ino is "unsigned int", all savings were gone for a long time.
   "struct proc_dir_entry" is not that countless to worry about it's size,
   anyway.

2. converting from unsigned short to int/unsigned int can only create
   problems, we better play it safe.

Space is not really conserved, because of natural alignment for the next
field.  sizeof(struct proc_dir_entry) remains the same.

It looks like the bug has been there forever, and since it only results in
some information missing from a procfile, it does not fulfil the -stable

523fb486bf cpuset: hold callback_mutex in cpuset_post_clone()
Chaning cpuset->mems/cpuset->cpus should be protected under
callback_mutex.

cpuset_clone() doesn't follow this rule. It's ok because it's
called when creating and initializing a cgroup, but we'd better
hold the lock to avoid subtil break in the future.

ee24d37977 cpuset: fix unchecked calls to NODEMASK_ALLOC()
Those functions that use NODEMASK_ALLOC() can't propagate errno
to users, but will fail silently.

Fix it by using a static nodemask_t variable for each function, and
those variables are protected by cgroup_mutex;

[akpm@linux-foundation.org: fix comment spelling, strengthen cgroup_lock comment]
