Eric Paris 7cd94146cd Security: round mmap hint address above mmap_min_addr
If mmap_min_addr is set and a process attempts to mmap (not fixed) with a
non-null hint address less than mmap_min_addr the mapping will fail the
security checks.  Since this is just a hint address this patch will round
such a hint address above mmap_min_addr.

gcj was found to try to be very frugal with vm usage and give hint addresses
in the 8k-32k range.  Without this patch all such programs failed and with
the patch they happily get a higher address.

This patch is wrappad in CONFIG_SECURITY since mmap_min_addr doesn't exist
without it and there would be no security check possible no matter what.  So
we should not bother compiling in this rounding if it is just a waste of
time.

Eric Paris ab5a91a836 Security: allow capable check to permit mmap or low vm space
On a kernel with CONFIG_SECURITY but without an LSM which implements
security_file_mmap it is impossible for an application to mmap addresses
lower than mmap_min_addr.  Based on a suggestion from a developer in the
openwall community this patch adds a check for CAP_SYS_RAWIO.  It is
assumed that any process with this capability can harm the system a lot
more easily than writing some stuff on the zero page and then trying to
get the kernel to trip over itself.  It also means that programs like X
on i686 which use vm86 emulation can work even with mmap_min_addr set.

Stephen Smalley d313f94830 SELinux: detect dead booleans
Instead of using f_op to detect dead booleans, check the inode index
against the number of booleans and check the dentry name against the
boolean name for that index on reads and writes.  This prevents
incorrect use of a boolean file opened prior to a policy reload while
allowing valid use of it as long as it still corresponds to the same
boolean in the policy.

Anton Vorontsov 6f4a7f4183 PHY: Add the phy_device_release device method.
Lately I've got this nice badness on mdio bus removal:

Device 'e0103120:06' does not have a release() function, it is broken and must be fixed.

Though actually there is nothing broken, it just device

This patch implement phy device's release function, thus
we're getting rid of this badness.

Also small hidden bug fixed, hope none other introduced. ;-)

Grant Likely f9663aea2a gianfar: fix compile warning
Eliminate an uninitialized variable warning.  The code is correct, but
a pointer to the automatic variable 'addr' is passed to dma_alloc_coherent.
Since addr has never been initialized, and the compiler doesn't know
what dma_alloc_coherent will do with it, it complains.

Olof Johansson 4352d82647 pasemi_mac: Fix reuse of free'd skb
Turns out we're freeing the skb when we detect CRC error, but we're
not clearing out info->skb. We could either clear it and have the stack
reallocate it, or just leave it and the rx ring refill code will reuse
the one that was allocated.

Reusing a freed skb obviously caused some nasty crashes of various kind,
as reported by Brent Baude and David Woodhouse.

Stephen Hemminger 8cfcbe998a sky2: recovery deadlock fix
Prevent deadlock in sky2 recovery logic. sky2_down calls napi_synchronize
which gets stuck if napi was already disabled.

Fix by rearranging slightly and not calling napi_disable until after
both ports are stopped. The napi_disable probably is being overly
paranoid, but it is safe now.

* Don't program UDMA timings when programming PIO or MWDMA modes.

  This has also a nice side-effect of fixing regression added by commit
  681c80b5d9 ("libata: correct handling of
  SRST reset sequences") (->set_piomode method for PIO0 is called before
  ->cable_detect method which checks UDMA timings to get the cable type).

* Bump driver version.

Mark Lord 306b30f74d sata_mv: Warn about HPT RocketRAID BIOS treatment of "Legacy" drives
The Highpoint RocketRAID boards using Marvell 7042 chips
overwrite the 9th sector of attached drives at boot time,
when those drives are configured as "Legacy" (the default)
in the HighPoint BIOS.

This kills GRUB, and probably other stuff.
But it all happens *before* Linux is even loaded.

So, for now we'll log a WARNING when such boards are detected,
and advise users to configure BIOS "JBOD" volumes instead,
which don't appear to suffer from this problem.

Robert Hancock 3f3debdbfb sata_nv: don't use legacy DMA in ADMA mode (v3)
We need to run any DMA command with result taskfile requested in ADMA mode
when the port is in ADMA mode, otherwise it may try to use the legacy DMA engine
in ADMA mode which is not allowed. Enforce this with BUG_ON() since data
corruption could potentially result if this happened. Also, fail any attempt to
try and issue NCQ commands with result taskfile requested, since the hardware
doesn't allow this.
