I just debugged an obscure crash caused by a device_del() of a all NULL'd
out struct device (in usb-serial) and found that a patch like this one would
have saved me time (in addition to improved chances of a bug report from
users hitting similar driver bugs).

We have found that the current PER_CLEAR_ON_SETID mask on Linux doesn't
include neither ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT, nor MMAP_PAGE_ZERO.
The current mask is READ_IMPLIES_EXEC|ADDR_NO_RANDOMIZE.
We believe it is important to add MMAP_PAGE_ZERO, because by using this
personality it is possible to have the first page mapped inside a
process running as setuid root. This could be used in those scenarios:
- Exploiting a NULL pointer dereference issue in a setuid root binary
- Bypassing the mmap_min_addr restrictions of the Linux kernel: by
running a setuid binary that would drop privileges before giving us
control back (for instance by loading a user-supplied library), we
could get the first page mapped in a process we control. By further
using mremap and mprotect on this mapping, we can then completely
bypass the mmap_min_addr restrictions.
Less importantly, we believe ADDR_COMPAT_LAYOUT should also be added
since on x86 32bits it will in practice disable most of the address
space layout randomization (only the stack will remain randomized).

This causes kernel images that don't run init to completion with certain
broken gcc versions.
This fixes kernel bugzilla entry:
http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13012
I suspect the gcc problem is this:
http://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=28230
Fix the problem by using the -fno-strict-overflow flag instead, which
not only does not exist in the known-to-be-broken versions of gcc (it
was introduced later than fwrapv), but seems to be much less disturbing
to gcc too: the difference in the generated code by -fno-strict-overflow
are smaller (compared to using neither flag) than when using -fwrapv.

Linus noticed how unclean and buggy the overlap() function is:
- It uses convoluted (and bug-causing) positive checks for
range overlap - instead of using a more natural negative
check.
- Even the positive checks are buggy: a positive intersection
check has four natural cases while we checked only for three,
missing the (addr < start && addr2 == end) case for example.
- The variables are mis-named, making it non-obvious how the
check was done.
- It needlessly uses u64 instead of unsigned long. Since these
are kernel memory pointers and we explicitly exclude highmem
ranges anyway we cannot ever overflow 32 bits, even if we
could. (and on 64-bit it doesnt matter anyway)
All in one, this function needs a total revamp. I used Linus's
suggestions minus the paranoid checks (we cannot overflow really
because if we get totally bad DMA ranges passed far more things
break in the systems than just DMA debugging). I also fixed a
few other small details i noticed.

This is seen on some G41 systems, where the BIOS will consume all but
a few KB of the aperture. This should be bad for all operating systems, as
it means that the OS can't dynamically manage memory between graphics and
the rest of the system, and OSes that did static memory management
statically add memory in addition to the BIOS allocation anyway. So, instead
of working around it, just fail out verbosely.

In case memory is scarce, we now default to oom_cfqq. Once memory is
available again, we should allocate a new cfqq and stop using oom_cfqq for
a particular io context.
Once a new request comes in, check if we are using oom_cfqq, and if yes,
try to allocate a new cfqq.

realized that it was using oom_cfqq and it allocated a new cfqq.

I overlooked SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV support when I converted sg to use
the block layer mapping API (2.6.28).
Douglas Gilbert explained SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV:
http://www.spinics.net/lists/linux-scsi/msg37135.html
=
The semantics of SG_DXFER_TO_FROM_DEV were:
- copy user space buffer to kernel (LLD) buffer
- do SCSI command which is assumed to be of the DATA_IN
(data from device) variety. This would overwrite
some or all of the kernel buffer
- copy kernel (LLD) buffer back to the user space.
The idea was to detect short reads by filling the original
user space buffer with some marker bytes ("0xec" it would
seem in this report). The "resid" value is a better way
of detecting short reads but that was only added this century
and requires co-operation from the LLD.
=
This patch changes the block layer mapping API to support this
semantics. This simply adds another field to struct rq_map_data and
enables __bio_copy_iov() to copy data from user space even with READ
requests.
It's better to add the flags field and kills null_mapped and the new
from_user fields in struct rq_map_data but that approach makes it
difficult to send this patch to stable trees because st and osst
drivers use struct rq_map_data (they were converted to use the block
layer in 2.6.29 and 2.6.30). Well, I should clean up the block layer
mapping API.
