addrconf_verify(...) only traverse address hash table when
addrconf_hash_lock is held for writing, and it may hold
addrconf_hash_lock for a long time. So I think it's better to acquire
addrconf_hash_lock for reading instead of writing

There is user data corruption when using ioctl(SIOCGIFCONF) in 32-bit
application running amd64 kernel. I do not think that this problem is
exploitable, but any data corruption may lead to security problems.
Following code demonstrates the problem
#include <stdint.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <sys/time.h>
#include <sys/socket.h>
#include <net/if.h>
#include <sys/ioctl.h>
char buf[256];
main()
{
int s = socket(AF_INET, SOCK_DGRAM, 0);
struct ifconf req;
int i;
req.ifc_buf = buf;
req.ifc_len = 41;
printf("Result %d\n", ioctl(s, SIOCGIFCONF, &req));
printf("Len %d\n", req.ifc_len);
for (i = 41; i < 256; i++)
if (buf[i] != 0)
printf("Byte %d is corrupted\n", i);
}
Steps to reproduce:
Compile the code above into 32-bit elf and run it. You'll get
Result 0
Len 32
Byte 48 is corrupted
Byte 52 is corrupted
Byte 53 is corrupted
Byte 54 is corrupted
Byte 55 is corrupted

If two packets were queued to be sent at the same time in the future,
their order would be reversed. This would occur because the queue is
traversed back to front, and a position is found by checking whether
the new packet needs to be sent before the packet being examined. If
the new packet is to be sent at the same time of a previous packet, it
would end up before the old packet in the queue. This patch places
packets in the correct order when they are queued to be sent at a same
time in the future.

Ever since we remove msr.c from x86_64 branch and started grabbing it from
i386, msr device (read functionality) has been broken for us.
This is due to the differences between asm-i386/msr.h and asm-x86_64/msr.h interfaces.
Here is a patch to our side to fix this.
Thankfully, as of current (2.6.15-rc1-git6) tree, arch/i386/kernel/msr.c is the only file that uses rdmsr_safe macro.

Also fix a potential issue with some notebooks:
The current code assumes the response to bios_wifi_get_default_setting is
either 1 (disabled) or 3 (enabled), or wifi isn't supported. The BIOS
response appears to be a bit field w/ 0x1 indicating hardware presence, 0x2
indicating actiation status, and the other 6 bits being unknown/reserved --
with the patch, these 6 bits are ignored.

A driver for laptop buttons using an x86 BIOS interface that is
apparently used on quite a few laptops and seems to be originating
from Wistron.
This driver currently "knows" only about Fujitsu-Siemens Amilo Pro V2000
(i.e. it can detect the laptop using DMI and it contains the
keycode->key meaning mapping for this laptop) and Xeron SonicPro X 155G
(probably can't be reliably autodetected, requires a module parameter),
adding other laptops should be easy.
In addition to reporting button presses to the input layer the driver
also allows enabling/disabling the embedded wireless NIC (using the
"Wifi" button); this is done using the same BIOS interface, so it seems
only logical to keep the implementation together. Any flexibility
possibly gained by allowing users to remap the function of the "Wifi"
button is IMHO not worth it when weighted against the necessity to run
an user-space daemon to convert button presses to wifi state changes.

The receiver status register reports latched error conditions, which
must be cleared by writing to it. However, the data register reports
unlatched conditions which are associated with the current character.
Use the data register to interpret error status rather than the RSR.

We were using udelay in the loop on the primary cpu waiting for the
secondary cpu to take the timebase value. Unfortunately now that
udelay uses the timebase, and the timebase is stopped at this point,
the udelay never terminated. This fixes it by not using udelay, and
increases the number of loops before we time out to compensate.

Patch from Daniel Jacobowitz
After delivering a signal (creating its stack frame) we must check for
additional pending unblocked signals before returning to userspace.
Otherwise signals may be delayed past the next syscall or reschedule.
Once that was fixed it became obvious that the ARM signal mask manipulation
was broken. It was a little bit broken before the recent SA_NODEFER
changes, and then very broken after them. We must block the requested
signals before starting the handler or the same signal can be delivered
again before the handler even gets a chance to run.

This involves some minor changes: a few unused functions that the
ppc32 pci.c provides are no longer declared here or exported;
pcibios_assign_all_busses now just refers to the pci_assign_all_buses
variable on both 32-bit and 64-bit; pcibios_scan_all_fns is now
just 0 instead of a function that always returns 0 on 64-bit.

For these, I have just done the lame-o merge where the file ends up
looking like:
#ifndef CONFIG_PPC64
#include <asm-ppc/foo.h>

... contents from asm-ppc64/foo.h
#endif
so nothing has changed, really, except that we reduce include/asm-ppc64
a bit more.

asm-ppc64/imalloc.h is only included from files in arch/powerpc/mm.
We already have a header for mm local definitions,
arch/powerpc/mm/mmu_decl.h. Thus, this patch moves the contents of
imalloc.h into mmu_decl.h. The only exception are the definitions of
PHBS_IO_BASE, IMALLOC_BASE and IMALLOC_END. Those are moved into
pgtable.h, next to similar definitions of VMALLOC_START and
VMALLOC_SIZE.
