When calling audit_filter_task(), it calls audit_filter_rules() with audit_context is NULL.
If the key field is set, the result in audit_filter_rules() will be set to 1 and
ctx->filterkey will be set to key.
But the ctx is NULL in this condition, so kernel will panic.

Hello,
According to my understanding there is an off-by-one bug in the
function:
audit_string_contains_control()
in:
kernel/audit.c
Patch is included.
I do not know from how many places the function is called from, but for
example, SELinux Access Vector Cache tries to log untrusted filenames via
call path:
avc_audit()
audit_log_untrustedstring()
audit_log_n_untrustedstring()
audit_string_contains_control()
If audit_string_contains_control() detects control characters, then the
string is hex-encoded. But the hex=0x7f dec=127, DEL-character, is not
detected.
I guess this could have at least some minor security implications, since a
user can create a filename with 0x7f in it, causing logged filename to
possibly look different when someone reads it on the terminal.

Makes the kernel audit subsystem collect information about the sending
process when that process sends SIGUSR2 to the userspace audit daemon.
SIGUSR2 is a new interesting signal to auditd telling auditd that it
should try to start logging to disk again and the error condition which
caused it to stop logging to disk (usually out of space) has been
rectified.

Id which proc gets from IDR for inode number and id which proc removes
from IDR do not match. E.g. 0x11a transforms into 0x8000011a.
Which stayed unnoticed for a long time because, surprise, idr_remove()
masks out that high bit before doing anything.
All of this due to "| ~MAX_ID_MASK" in release_inode_number().
I still don't understand how it's supposed to work, because "| ~MASK"
is not an inversion for "& MAX" operation.
So, use just one nice, working addition. Make start offset unsigned int,
while I'm at it. It's longness is not used anywhere.

For anonymous pages without a swap cache backing the check in
page_remove_rmap for the physical dirty bit in page_remove_rmap is
unnecessary. The instructions that are used to check and reset the dirty
bit are expensive. Removing the check noticably speeds up process exit.
In addition the clearing of the dirty bit in __SetPageUptodate is
pointless as well. With these two changes there is no storage key
operation for an anonymous page anymore if it does not hit the swap
space.
The micro benchmark which repeatedly executes an empty shell script
gets about 5% faster.

sclp_sync_wait wait synchronously for an sclp interrupt and disables

The command "info threads" did not work correctly with kgdb. It would
result in a silent kernel hang if used.
This patach addresses several problems.
- Fix use of deprecated NR_CPUS
- Fix kgdb to not walk linearly through the pid space
- Correctly implement shadow pids
- Change the threads per query to a #define
- Fix kgdb_hex2long to work with negated values
The threads 0 and -1 are reserved to represent the current task. That
means that CPU 0 will start with a shadow thread id of -2, and CPU 1
will have a shadow thread id of -3, etc...
From the debugger you can switch to a shadow thread to see what one of
the other cpus was doing, however it is not possible to execute run
control operations on any other cpu execept the cpu executing the
kgdb_handle_exception().

A regression to the kgdb core was found in the case of using the
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA kernel option. When this option is on, a breakpoint
cannot be written into any readonly memory page. When an external
debugger requests a breakpoint to get set, the
kgdb_validate_break_address() was only checking to see if the address
to place the breakpoint was readable and lacked a write check.
This patch changes the validate routine to try reading (via the
breakpoint set request) and also to try immediately writing the break
point. If either fails, an error is correctly returned and the
debugger behaves correctly. Then an end user can make the
descision to use hardware breakpoints.
Also update the documentation to reflect that using
CONFIG_DEBUG_RODATA will inhibit the use of software breakpoints.

I am aware that the author of the original change did not rename

All *MTD_NAND_AT91* where renamed to *MTD_NAND_ATMEL* in order
