I'm going to do an -rc8, so I'm just going to do this rather than delay it any further. They are arguably stable material anyway. * vm_ioremap_memory-examples: mtdchar: remove no-longer-used vma helpers vm: convert snd_pcm_lib_mmap_iomem() to vm_iomap_memory() helper vm: convert fb_mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper vm: convert mtdchar mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper vm: convert HPET mmap to vm_iomap_memory() helper

Pull kdump fixes from Peter Anvin: "The kexec/kdump people have found several problems with the support for loading over 4 GiB that was introduced in this merge cycle. This is partly due to a number of design problems inherent in the way the various pieces of kdump fit together (it is pretty horrifically manual in many places.) After a *lot* of iterations this is the patchset that was agreed upon, but of course it is now very late in the cycle. However, because it changes both the syntax and semantics of the crashkernel option, it would be desirable to avoid a stable release with the broken interfaces." I'm not happy with the timing, since originally the plan was to release the final 3.9 tomorrow. But apparently I'm doing an -rc8 instead... * 'x86-kdump-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: kexec: use Crash kernel for Crash kernel low x86, kdump: Change crashkernel_high/low= to crashkernel=,high/low x86, kdump: Retore crashkernel= to allocate under 896M x86, kdump: Set crashkernel_low automatically

Pull x86 fixes from Peter Anvin: "Three groups of fixes: 1. Make sure we don't execute the early microcode patching if family < 6, since it would touch MSRs which don't exist on those families, causing crashes. 2. The Xen partial emulation of HyperV can be dealt with more gracefully than just disabling the driver. 3. More EFI variable space magic. In particular, variables hidden from runtime code need to be taken into account too." * 'x86-urgent-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: x86, microcode: Verify the family before dispatching microcode patching x86, hyperv: Handle Xen emulation of Hyper-V more gracefully x86,efi: Implement efi_no_storage_paranoia parameter efi: Export efi_query_variable_store() for efivars.ko x86/Kconfig: Make EFI select UCS2_STRING efi: Distinguish between "remaining space" and actually used space efi: Pass boot services variable info to runtime code Move utf16 functions to kernel core and rename x86,efi: Check max_size only if it is non-zero. x86, efivars: firmware bug workarounds should be in platform code

Pull networking updates from David Miller: 1) ax88796 does 64-bit divides which causes link errors on ARM, fix from Arnd Bergmann. 2) Once an improper offload setting is detected on an SKB we don't rate limit the log message so we can very easily live lock. From Ben Greear. 3) Openvswitch cannot report vport configuration changes reliably because it didn't preallocate the netlink notification message before changing state. From Jesse Gross. 4) The effective UID/GID SCM credentials fix, from Linus. 5) When a user explicitly asks for wireless authentication, cfg80211 isn't told about the AP detachment leaving inconsistent state.

net: fix incorrect credentials passing

2013-04-20T20:56:42Z

Commit 257b5358b32f ("scm: Capture the full credentials of the scm sender") changed the credentials passing code to pass in the effective uid/gid instead of the real uid/gid. Obviously this doesn't matter most of the time (since normally they are the same), but it results in differences for suid binaries when the wrong uid/gid ends up being used. This just undoes that (presumably unintentional) part of the commit. Reported-by: Andy Lutomirski Cc: Eric W. Biederman Cc: Serge E. Hallyn Cc: David S.
