Update to 2.6.32.14/15 Stable Kernel
 

Hi All,

http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/588832

The 2.6.32.14 stable kernel has recently been released.

http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/ChangeLog-2.6.32.14
http://kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/patch-2.6.32.14.bz2

The 2.6.32.14 upstream stable kernel brings in 36 patches (DRM excluded).
As we carry the DRM stack from 2.6.33, all patches that affect DRM have been
dropped and replaced by DRM patches from 2.6.33.5 (3 patches).]

The upstream process for stable tree updates is quite similar in scope to the
Ubuntu SRU process. e.g: each patch demonstrably fixes a bug and is vetted by
upstream either by originating directly from Linus' tree or by being minimally
backported from some patch in Linus' tree.

Upstream also released 2.6.32.15 and as this only reverts two more patches we
did not take in the first place will be claimed to be included in this update.

TEST CASE: TBD

The following patch was already carried and is replaced by the version from stable:
* drm/i915: Disable FBC on 915GM and 945GM.

I am attaching the review and I have pushed a preview tree to

git://kernel.ubuntu.com/smb/ubuntu-lucid.git stable14

http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=smb/ubuntu-lucid.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/stable14

commit 1cd8211f07663ebeac04b19ac849de7ed5eef969
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Revert "module: fix __module_ref_addr()"

# Type: Regression

This seems to have been discussed upstream and found not appropriate for
2.6.32.y. From only the patch its hard to tell why but probably the resulting
layout is different.
! Has not been applied due to following upstream discussion

commit e86f7295bd77b55f7658461c58f3e1fcd77307c7
Author: Bjørn Mork <bjorn@mork.no>

ipv4: udp: fix short packet and bad checksum logging

Moving the initialization of two variables to a sooner place to fix bogus
output when jumping to a label.

hp_accel: fix race in device removal

# Type: Race

Moving the flush of the workqueue after the device is stopped looks sensible.

commit 3ee972cb08644cbfe460a9da874e6b1786cb22a2
Author: Michael Hennerich <michael.hennerich@analog.com>

fbdev: bfin-t350mcqb-fb: fix fbmem allocation with blanking lines

# Type: Memory corruption

Increases the length of the requested memory by some ammount. Sounds sensible
from the description.

commit 6a25e6fdf32f010e57724289e1e751dd18de3327
Author: Mel Gorman <mel@csn.ul.ie>

hugetlbfs: kill applications that use MAP_NORESERVE with SIGBUS instead of OOM-killer

# Type: Security

Changes the return value for failed allocations. As stated in the comment this
results in rather the application being killed than the OOM killer to be
started.

Author: FUJITA Tomonori <fujita.tomonori@lab.ntt.co.jp>

dma-mapping: fix dma_sync_single_range_*

# Type: ???

Given the comment both changed function calls need to add the offset to the
base address. Looks ok.

commit 9b65e4ff1b1da7d2c2644402a1e7bd228b1e6347
Author: Alex Chiang <achiang@canonical.com>

ACPI: sleep: eliminate duplicate entries in acpisleep_dmi_table[]

# Type: Cleanup

This removes a long range of duplicate and unnecessary entries (three are
still in there after the patch) and merge two entries into one as it can
use partial matching.

commit 5cb630d1e13e52a0cf3339abe94dda132bf48dcb
Author: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com>

mmc: atmel-mci: fix two parameters swapped

# Type: ???

Swaps two arguments which seems to be consistent with function desclaration.

commit 1ca17a23f204b5b864b32c5cb160af8b44020908
Author: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com>

mmc: atmel-mci: prevent kernel oops while removing card

# Type: Oops

Looks sensibly checking for a valid pointer at one place and defer setting
that pointer to NULL at another place.

Author: Nicolas Ferre <nicolas.ferre@atmel.com>

Author: Gerald Schaefer <gerald.schaefer@de.ibm.com>

ptrace: fix return value of do_syscall_trace_enter()

# Type: Hang

This is s390 architecture specific. From the comments it does the right
thing to evaluate a certain register only after the hooks are called.

commit 17975c34e49c57200d6fe4c0372311d396aeecab
Author: Paul Mackerras <paulus@samba.org>

powerpc/perf_event: Fix oops due to perf_event_do_pending call

# Type: Oops

This is a relatively large hunk. Luckily only affecting ppc. It seems to do
what it claims by removing large areas of 64bit code and move it into places
used commonly by both subarchs.

commit 793c338bac6fa1fb94504a0346f43e87d24b5daa
Author: Jeff Layton <jlayton@redhat.com>

cifs: guard against hardlinking directories

# Type: Oops

Adds code to check whether serverino's are really unique for directories.
If not it will automatically disable the serverino feature. Looks ok.

commit 3c5e545f3143efea8f661bb42e99814fbc7542cf
Author: Valentin Longchamp <valentin.longchamp@epfl.ch>

serial: imx.c: fix CTS trigger level lower to avoid lost chars

# Type: Lost chars

It sets some bits in a hardware register which previously seemed to be left
untouched. Looks to be in accordance to comment.

# Type: Race

Takes a reference sooner and releases it on failure instead of leaving a
loophole by getting the reference later.

commit a5bc96085a02ba17eb37daeebf86fd776c7d0942
Author: Pavel Emelyanov <xemul@openvz.org>

# Type: Memory leak

From the comment it looks sensible.

Author: Hugh Dickins <hughd@google.com>

profile: fix stats and data leakage

# Type: Security?

Clears a buffer, so it cannot accidentally leak kernel data out or show
inconsistent data.

Author: Borislav Petkov <borislav.petkov@amd.com>

# Type: Build failure

Will use a define instead of a missing global variable in that case.

commit a6902da2932852af1d5900806f76ed0a94959a96
Author: Frank Arnold <frank.arnold@amd.com>

Prevents use of a cpu feature if there are no nothbridge devices to use.

Author: Andreas Herrmann <herrmann.der.user@googlemail.com>

commit d3e70800082edb406de0800b3e2b3cac9b4c91fb
Author: KOSAKI Motohiro <kosaki.motohiro@jp.fujitsu.com>

proc: partially revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads"

# Type: Performance regression 2.6.32

The feature of showing stack information seems to cause substancial performance
impact. This reverts it and there is another patch to remove more of that new
code.

commit e51cdaa24d7d6c14eba039b13093f7ccedb6ce07
Author: Robin Holt <holt@sgi.com>

revert "procfs: provide stack information for threads" and its fixup commits

# Type: Regression 2.6.32

This claims to revert most of a whole series of patches resulting from adding
the feature of stack information because the value has been found actually
unusable. Hard to verify all the claims but seems to remove only code
associated with that variable.

commit 317b00ded5ee5d9d251164c568cb169c9b3a8912
Author: Wey-Yi Guy <wey-yi.w.guy@intel.com>

iwlwifi: clear all the stop_queue flag after load firmware

# Type: ???

The comment is a bit confusing but essentially clears flags that would
indicate the queues are stopped when driver gets told firmware is alive.

Author: Christian Lamparter <chunkeey@googlemail.com>

Author: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>

Drops new credentials and looks like resetting to the old ones on failure
according to comment.

Author: Tomas Henzl <thenzl@redhat.com>

megaraid_sas: fix for 32bit apps

# Type: ???

Somehow it seems to me that this *add* funcionality for the sense pointer
which seemed not to be used before...

commit f6b35a0f7cd351af37fd302ea60e0c0f9f93d3ba
Author: Kees Cook <kees.cook@canonical.com>

Revert "ath9k: fix lockdep warning when unloading module" on stable kernels

# Type: Regression 2.6.32.11

Reverts a patch that only made sense in conjunction with two other changes
which have not been backported. On 2.6.32 this actually caused a WARN_ON.

commit f7ede28145be735b1ed755b5152ca7702a0ee9c9
Author: Herbert Xu <herbert@gondor.apana.org.au>

commit 2792073e6c58ce90e756a185a8bc2d1e781b4fd7
Author: Greg Kroah-Hartman <gregkh@suse.de>

Revert "parisc: Set PCI CLS early in boot."

# Type: Regression 2.6.32.13

Is claimed to cause problems but luckily we have a) not applied it yet and
b) it only affects parisc.

Patches from 2.6.33:

commit 5bc9dccfd29f7d8cbc1878873b9ce96cd441f80f
Author: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

drm/i915: use PIPE_CONTROL instruction on Ironlake and Sandy Bridge

# Type: Enablement/HW fix

Claimed to be required for some hw. Adds use of the new instruction for
newer chipsets. Successful testing reported by Intel.

commit 3da63326b1b4c7c386462841f606ab612361c9c2
Author: Jesse Barnes <jbarnes@virtuousgeek.org>

drm/i915: fix non-Ironlake 965 class crashes

Does what is says. Seem to remember that bit. Maybe we already carry that.

ACK

These all look good to me. Small and contained. There isn't anything here
that makes any large changes to anything.
