94be1a3f36 [NETFILTER]: nf_queue: don't return error when unregistering a non-existant handler
Commit ce7663d84:

[NETFILTER]: nfnetlink_queue: don't unregister handler of other subsystem

changed nf_unregister_queue_handler to return an error when attempting to
unregister a queue handler that is not identical to the one passed in.
This is correct in case we really do have a different queue handler already
registered, but some existing userspace code always does an unbind before
bind and aborts if that fails, so try to be nice and return success in
that case.

Similar to the nfnetlink_log problem, nfnetlink_queue incorrectly
returns -EPERM when binding or unbinding to an address family and
queueing instance 0 exists and is owned by a different process. Unlike
nfnetlink_log it previously completes the operation, but it is still
incorrect.

b7047a1c88 [NETFILTER]: nfnetlink_log: fix EPERM when binding/unbinding and instance 0 exists
When binding or unbinding to an address family, the res_id is usually set
to zero. When logging instance 0 already exists and is owned by a different
process, this makes nfunl_recv_config return -EPERM without performing
the bind operation.

Since no operation on the foreign logging instance itself was requested,
this is incorrect. Move bind/unbind commands before the queue instance
permissions checks.

Also remove an incorrect comment.

4f4c9430cf [NETFILTER]: xt_time: fix failure to match on Sundays
From: Andrew Schulman <andrex@alumni.utexas.net>

xt_time_match() in net/netfilter/xt_time.c in kernel 2.6.24 never
matches on Sundays. On my host I have a rule like

    iptables -A OUTPUT -m time --weekdays Sun -j REJECT

and it never matches. The problem is in localtime_2(), which uses

    r->weekday = (4 + r->dse) % 7;

to map the epoch day onto a weekday in {0,...,6}. In particular this
gives 0 for Sundays. But 0 has to be wrong; a weekday of 0 can never
match. xt_time_match() has

    if (!(info->weekdays_match & (1 << current_time.weekday)))
        return false;

and when current_time.weekday = 0, the result of the & is always
zero, even when info->weekdays_match = XT_TIME_ALL_WEEKDAYS = 0xFE.

e82cc1288f USB: fix ehci unlink regressions
The recent EHCI driver update to split the IAA watchdog timer out from
the other timers made several things work better, but not everything;
and it created a couple new issues in bugzilla.  Ergo this patch:

  - Handle a should-be-rare SMP race between the watchdog firing
    and (very late) IAA interrupts;

  - Remove a shouldn't-have-been-added WARN_ON() test;

  - Guard against one observed OOPS;

  - If this watchdog fires during clean HC shutdown, it should act
    as a NOP instead of interfering with the shutdown sequence;

  - Guard against silicon errata hypothesized by some vendors:
      * IAA status latch broken, but IAAD cleared OK;
      * IAAD wasn't cleared when IAA status got reported;

The WARN_ON is in bugzilla as 10168; the OOPS as 10078; these are
both regressions.

b91aac29bb PCI Hotplug: Fix small mem leak in IBM Hot Plug Controller Driver
In drivers/pci/hotplug/ibmphp_ebda.c::ebda_rsrc_controller(), storage is
allocated with kzalloc() and assigned to 'tmp_slot'.  Then lots of
stuff, like ->flag, ->supported_speed etc is set in tmp_slot.  A bit
further down there's then this test :

  if (!bus_info_ptr1) {
    rc = -ENODEV;
    goto error;
  }

At this point, tmp_slot has not been assigned to anything, so when
erroring-out we want to free it, but nothing at the 'error:' label
free's 'tmp_slot' - and we can't really free 'tmp_slot' at 'error:'
since we may jump to that label later when 'tmp_slot' *has* been used
and we do not want it freed. So, the only sane option left seems to be
to kfree(tmp_slot) just before jumping to the 'error:' label in the one
place where this is what actually makes sense. The following patch does
just that and thus kills off a tiny potential memory leak.

8647af71d6 PCI: rename DECLARE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE to DEFINE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE
a) DECLARE_PCI_DEVICE_TABLE is misnamed.  It is used to *define* tables,

b) It's lame, anyway.  We could implement any number of such helper
   thingies, but we choose not to.


So I wouldn't go adding code which uses this thing until it has a correct
name, and until we've decided that we actually want to live with it.

e88a0c2ca8 drivers: fix dma_get_required_mask
There's a bug in the current implementation of dma_get_required_mask()
where it ands the returned mask with the current device mask.  This
rather defeats the purpose if you're using the call to determine what
your mask should be (since you will at that time have the default
DMA_32BIT_MASK).  This bug results in any driver that uses this function
*always* getting a 32 bit mask, which is wrong.

Fix by removing the and with dev->dma_mask.

1ef36fa64e lguest: Do not append space to guests kernel command line
The lguest launcher appends a space to the kernel command line (if kernel
arguments are specified on its command line). This space is unneeded. More
importantly, this appended space will make Red Hat's nash script interpreter
(used in a Fedora style initramfs) add an empty argument to init's command
line. This empty argument will make kernel arguments like "init=/bin/bash"
fail (because the shell will try to execute a script with an empty name).
This could be considered a bug in nash, but is easily fixed in the lguest
launcher too.

4357bd9453 lguest: Revert 1ce70c4fac, fix real problem.
Ahmed managed to crash the Host in release_pgd(), which cannot be a Guest
bug, and indeed it wasn't.

The bug was that handing a 0 as the address of the toplevel page table
being manipulated can cause the lookup code in find_pgdir() to return
an uninitialized cache entry (we shadow up to 4 top level page tables
for each Guest).

Commit 37cc8d7f96 introduced this
behaviour in the Guest, uncovering the bug.

The patch which he submitted (which removed the /4 from the index
calculation) simply ensured that these high-indexed entries hit the
early exit path of guest_set_pmd().  But you get lots of segfaults in
guest userspace as the PMDs aren't being updated.

3fabc55f34 lguest: Sanitize the lguest clock.
Now the TSC code handles a zero return from calculate_cpu_khz(),
lguest can simply pass through the value it gets from the Host: if
non-zero, all the normal TSC code applies.

Otherwise (or if the Host really doesn't support TSC), the clocksource
code will fall back to the slower but reasonable lguest clock.
