This is actually quite shocking to me. You don't know how to define
the threat model? And you call yourself in the security business?
Read some books or essays by Bruce Schneier. A good one might be his
recent book, "Beyond Fear: Thinking Sensibly About Security In An
Uncertain World".
The naive refusal to think about threat models is why we have to
submit to really insane, useless, "security theater" every time we get
on an Airplane and have to take off our shoes and throw our bottleed
water...

[Resending because gmane cut off the To: header in Pavel's email, sorry.]
Not quite, I'm afraid. Even if the disk isn't spinning, we still have to
make sure that it won't spin up in a precarious situation. Of course, if
it wasn't user space but some kernel routine that consults the
accelerometer and decides when to stop I/O, then we could indeed stop
querying the accelerometer while the disk is in standby mode and delay a
subsequent spin up for the time required to gather the necessary

gcc 4.1.0 and 4.1.1 are known to miscompile the kernel:

From 7c1fed03b9fa32d4323d5caa6a9c7dcdd7eba767
My copying of linux/init.h didn't go far enough. The definition of
__used singled out gcc minor version 3, but didn't care what the major
version was. This broke when unit-at-a-time was added and gcc started
throwing out initcalls.
This results in an early boot crash when ptrace tries to initialize a
process with an empty, uninitialized register set.

Reintroduce uml_kmalloc for the benefit of UML libc code. The
previous tactic of declaring __kmalloc so it could be called directly
from the libc side of the house turned out to be getting too intimate
with slab, and it doesn't work with slob.
So, the uml_kmalloc wrapper is back. It calls kmalloc or whatever
that translates into, and libc code calls it.

From cfd28f6695d0fc047478480791a21bdd4967f98e
UML's supposed nanosecond clock interacts badly with NTP when NTP
decides that the clock has drifted ahead and needs to be slowed down.
Slowing down the clock is done by decrementing the cycle-to-nanosecond
multiplier, which is 1. Decrementing that gives you 0 and time is
stopped.
This is fixed by switching to a microsecond clock, with a multiplier
of 1000.

| Nye Liu | [PATCH] INITRAMFS: Add option to preserve mtime from INITRAM...
From: Nye Liu <nyet@nyet.org>
When unpacking the cpio into the initramfs, mtimes are not preserved by
default. This patch adds an INITRAMFS_PRESERVE_MTIME option that allows
mtimes stored in the cpio image to be used when constructing the
initramfs. For embedded applications that run exclusively out of the
initramfs, this is invaluable.

Remove the Kconfig definitions of unused variables AEDSP16_MSS and
AEDSP16_SBPRO since they're:
1) unused, and
2) referenced incorrectly anyway.
Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@crashcourse.ca>

while the sound/oss/Kconfig file defines the variables as
AEDSP16_MSS and AEDSP16_SBPRO, they're (apparently) referenced thusly

It seems that our IBM Blade servers using 5706S also require this
fix. We have confirmed that the patch below works on 2.6.27-rc1.
