2cc3b6bff4 V4L/DVB (10258): pvrusb2: Issue VIDIOC_INT_INIT to v4l2 modules when they first attach
It appears that various v4l-dvb drivers are changing to require
explicit initialization before use.  This change to the pvrusb2 driver
implements an automatic issuance of VIDIOC_INT_INIT when a module is
bound to the driver, thus conforming to the new behavior.

be4f4aecf8 V4L/DVB (10239): pvrusb2: Fix misleading comment caused by earlier commit
Previous v4l-dvb changeset id 4cc8ed11e2e0 changed the pvrusb2-hdw
internal API regarding i2c chip debug register access.  However that
change failed to also update the corresponding function comment
describing the API.  As driver maintained I never saw a request for an
ack on that change; there probably should have been one especially
since the manner in which this API operates was changed - its
interface is now entangled with a v4l specific struct and I would have
preferred to keep this API clear of moving-target v4l-isms such as
this one if at all possible which is why I had done it the way I did
before.  But whatever.  This commit at least fixes the comment issue.

e164b58a84 V4L/DVB (10211): vivi: Implements 4 inputs on vivi
This patch adds the capability of selecting between 4 different inputs
on vivi driver. Input 0 is the normal color bar, while inputs 1-3 are
modified color bars.

This allows testing input selection on userspace applications and
serves as an implementation model for other drivers.

The current approach allows a maximum of 10 different inputs, since the
input name generator assumes that we need just one digit to present the
input. It shouldn't be hard to modify it to present a bigger name of
inputs, but, in fact, it doesn't make much sense of doing it for this
test driver.

270717a8a0 MIPS: Alchemy: unify CPU model constants.
This patch removes the various CPU_AU1??? model constants in favor of
a single CPU_ALCHEMY one.

All currently existing Alchemy models are identical in terms of cpu
core and cache size/organization.  The parts of the mips kernel which
need to know the exact CPU revision extract it from the c0_prid register
already; and finally nothing else in-tree depends on those any more.

Should a new variant with slightly different "company options" and/or
"processor revision" bits in c0_prid appear, it will be supported
immediately (minus an exact model string in cpuinfo).

EMMA's GPIO interrupts are latched by GPIO interrupt status register.
In this case, we're encouraged to use handle_edge_irq() handler.

* Fix emma2rh_gpio_irq_ack not to disable interrupts

  With handle_edge_irq(), we're not expected to disable interrupts
  when chip->ack is served, so fix it accordingly.  We also add a new
  emma2rh_gpio_irq_mask_ack() for chip->mask_ack operation, instead.

* Remove emma2rh_gpio_irq_end(), as chip->end is no longer served.

0e6826c73c MIPS: __raw_spin_lock() may spin forever on ticket wrap.
If the lock is not acquired and has to spin *and* the second attempt
to acquire the lock fails, the delay time is not masked by the ticket
range mask.  If the ticket number wraps around to zero, the result is
that the lock sampling delay is essentially infinite (due to casting
-1 to an unsigned int).

The fix: Always mask the difference between my_ticket and the current
ticket value before calculating the delay.

7c2c7d9930 fix setuid sometimes wouldn't
check_unsafe_exec() also notes whether the fs_struct is being
shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so
sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid.
But /proc/<pid>/cwd and /proc/<pid>/root lookups make transient
use of get_fs_struct(), which also raises that sharing count.

This might occasionally cause a setuid program not to change euid,
in the same way as happened with files->count (check_unsafe_exec
also looks at sighand->count, but /proc doesn't raise that one).

We'd prefer exec not to unshare fs_struct: so fix this in procfs,
replacing get_fs_struct() by get_fs_path(), which does path_get
while still holding task_lock, instead of raising fs->count.

e426b64c41 fix setuid sometimes doesn't
Joe Malicki reports that setuid sometimes doesn't: very rarely,
a setuid root program does not get root euid; and, by the way,
they have a health check running lsof every few minutes.

Right, check_unsafe_exec() notes whether the files_struct is being
shared by more threads than will get killed by the exec, and if so
sets LSM_UNSAFE_SHARE to make bprm_set_creds() careful about euid.
But /proc/<pid>/fd and /proc/<pid>/fdinfo lookups make transient
use of get_files_struct(), which also raises that sharing count.

There's a rather simple fix for this: exec's check on files->count
has been redundant ever since 2.6.1 made it unshare_files() (except
while compat_do_execve() omitted to do so) - just remove that check.

[Note to -stable: this patch will not apply before 2.6.29: earlier
releases should just remove the files->count line from unsafe_exec().]

53e9309e01 compat_do_execve should unshare_files
2.6.26's commit fd8328be87
"sanitize handling of shared descriptor tables in failing execve()"
moved the unshare_files() from flush_old_exec() and several binfmts
to the head of do_execve(); but forgot to make the same change to
compat_do_execve(), leaving a CLONE_FILES files_struct shared across
exec from a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel.

It's arguable whether the files_struct really ought to be unshared
across exec; but 2.6.1 made that so to stop the loading binary's fd
leaking into other threads, and a 32-bit process on a 64-bit kernel
ought to behave in the same way as 32 on 32 and 64 on 64.
