2.6.10-as6

Hi,

2.6.10-as6 includes a few more fixes, including a bug introduced by me
in earlier -as kernels; if -as didn't work on your x86_64 SMP machine,
this kernel should fix it.  Thanks to Frederik Schüler for pointing out
the problem.  There is also some potential security related stuff in
there, as well.

I'll be offline for the next week or so (yay, vacation).

The -as tree is intended to include only security and bugfixes, from
various sources.  I do not include hardware driver updates
(specifically, anything that changes how the hardware registers
themselves are probed/poked), large subsystem updates, cleanups, and so
on; only fixes that will not contain regressions.  The hope is that
vendors/distributors can use this tree as a base for their kernels.  It
is also what I'd want a 2.6.x.y tree to have.

The kernel patches can be grabbed from here:

    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-150

    Scratch that; this is only deref'd if the driver model class stuff
in bk is
    used.  No need to use this patch.

    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-149

    The r8169 driver wasn't alloc'ing enough memory for skbs; the size

    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-148

    For various pci devices, if pci_request_regions fails (because
resources

using it)

      139-pci_dma_free_coherent.patch
    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-146

    [I386] dma_free_coherent() was calling kmalloc with its args
reversed;
    clearly incorrect.

      138-tulip_de_init_one_irq_init.patch
    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-145

    The tulip driver's de_init_one() was using pdev->irq before it had
been
    initialized.  Move its usage until after it has been initted.

    Summary:
      137-ppc64_prom_initialize_tce_table_typo.patch
    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-144

    [PPC64] prom_initialize_tce_table() refers to 'vbase', which doesn't
actually
    exist; instead, 'base' was what was meant.

     .arch-ids/137-ppc64_prom_initialize_tce_table_typo.patch.id

2005-02-26 05:39:01 GMT	Andres Salomon <dilinger@voxel.net>	patch-143

    Summary:
      136-64bit_sys_compat_overflows.patch
    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-143

    More of the same as 135*.patch, except for stuff like sys_ipc,
sys_semget,
    sys_msgsnd, etc.

2005-02-26 05:33:17 GMT	Andres Salomon <dilinger@voxel.net>	patch-142

    Summary:
      135-64bit_sys_shmget_compat_size_t_overflow.patch
    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-142

    64bit archs that offer 32bit compat wrappers for sys_shmget were
mostly
    passing the second arg as a 32bit signed int; what would happen then
is,
    it would be casted to a size_t (64bit unsigned), and the sign would
cause
    it to overflow.  Instead, we need to cast to a 32bit unsigned value
first,
    and then cast to 64bit unsigned.

2005-02-26 05:03:57 GMT	Andres Salomon <dilinger@voxel.net>	patch-141

    Summary:
      134-cciss_scsi_detect_put_host_on_error.patch
    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-141

    [SCSI] cciss_scsi_detect() calls scsi_add_host(), which bumps the
refcount
    (even in the event of an error).  Thus, if scsi_add_host fails, the
    scsi host refcount needs to be decremented; so, call scsi_host_put
upon
    error.

    Summary:
      drop 083-x86_64_switch_mm_context_race.patch
    Revision:
      linux--dilinger--0--patch-140

    [X86-64] Drop 083-x86_64_switch_mm_context_race.patch; something
with the
    4 level page table changes prior to this made it break w/ x86_64 smp
    machines.  It also broke one of the rules for this tree, by tweaking
    registers.
