The master copy of this file is at http://www.linux.org.uk. Check there for updates and errata Linux 2.2.19 Release Notes Platforms:Alpha, M68K, PowerPC, S/390, Sparc, X86 Introduction Linux 2.2.19 is the latest update to the Linux kernel tree. The out of the box tree supports the Alpha, PPC, S/390, Sparc and X86 platforms. MIPS and ARM are mostly merged but you should obtain the platform specific tree. Compilers This code is intended to build with gcc 2.7.2 and egcs 1.1.2. gcc 2.95.2 and Red Hat gcc 2.96-79 are believed to build the tree correctly. As yet we have no detailed information on gcc 2.95.3 but it seems to build the tree correctly. Binary Compatibility Linux 2.2.19 should on the whole be fully binary compatible with old modules. In general you should not assume binary compatibility between kernel object modules in Linux. Security Notes Linux 2.2.19 contains significant security fixes as a result of third party testing and auditing. We are very grateful to those who contributed work and reports to this effort, in particular to OpenWall and to Chris Evans. Architecture Updates Alpha + Remove a bogus printk in the OSF syscall error path. + Fix ASN reuse races on Alpha SMP + Fix read_unlock races on Alpha SMP + Show registers across CPU's on SMP Alpha oops + Fix bottom half races on Alpha SMP + Use our own IRQ routing table for Ruffian boards + Remove bogus printk from Alpha exception tables ARM The ARM tree has been partially synchronized with the ARM working tree for 2.2 + Fix ptrace races on ARM + Miscellaneous ARM updates + Fix NFS alignment problems with ARM i386 + Fix CyrixIII panic on boot in some cases + Walk the top 8K not the top 4K of the stack on error dumps + Fix further CMOS locking + Correct microcode driver feature checking + Use E820 memory sizing + Handle E820 problems when run with IBM thinkpad + Speed up irq/fault paths by avoiding xchg() + Tighten up K6 bug check + The DMI check for APM could end up running after APM started + Updated A20 handler to 2.4 code. Fixes hangs on some obscure kit. + Watch for timers being reset to 18Hz by firmware bugs PowerPC + Fix power off during IDE pmac init + Update atyfb128 and serial for pmac + Add workarounds for firmware bugs on early iMac + Fix oops on resume on some pmac machines + Fix problems in the Macintosh HID driver and input driver + Fix the pci syscall on the PowerMac machines S/390 + General fix ups for S/390 problems + Add keventd to S/390 for drivers + Update DASD driver + Add support for over 4K of partitions in procfs + Update S/390 to support new official ELF id + Update hwc, ctc and iucv + Fix a problem in the FPU emulator Sparc + Add support for quad sbus sunhme + Update NFS compatibility syscalls + Add watchdog driver support + Update sparc64 syscall tables + Fix NETCTL_GETFD on sparc64 Security Updates binfmt_misc binfmt_misc touched user pages directly and could be exploited. CPIA driver An off by one buffer check in the CPIA driver allowed users to scribble into kernel memory CPUID and MSR drivers Unloading and reloading these could cause a crash due to missing unregister calls. Normally not exploitable but if set to autoload and unload they could be abused. Classifier Fix a possible hang in the classifier code. get/setsockopt Mishandling of sign bits in setsockopt and getsockopt allowed local DoS and other attacks. Ptrace/exec race Ptrace and exec as well as ptrace/suid races existed that could give a local user privileges. Sockfilter Boundary cases in sockfilter could be abused. It is not clear if these are actually exploitable strnlen_user Several problems with the implementation have been cured. SYS5 shared memory A code path existed where the shm code would scribble on very recently freed memory. It is not clear that this was actually exploitable. sysctl Mishandling of sign bits in sysctl allowed local users to scribble on kernel memory. Tighten packet length checks The masquerading code checks were a little lax in some cases. None of these are believed actually exploitable however. User access asm bug on x86 Certain obscure constant copies came out copying the wrong number of bytes. No known exploit or actual problem case is known but it potentially existed. UDP Deadlock A local user could deadlock the kernel due to bugs in UDP port allocation. Core Updates Core Dump Write out core dumps as sparse files Dcache aging Do aging on the dcache to improve behaviour under load Hash functions Improve the inode and dcache hash functions Misc device layer Reuse of the same minor number is now errored Page cache coherency A problem existed on machines with ambiguous user/kernel addresses (the S/390) that could cause the page and buffer cache to lose coherency Page fault Ensure a task always handles page faults in run state Signal delivery Queued I/O completion delivery from interrupt context was unreliable Virtual memory Revamp the core VM handling to remove a long standing deadlock. Driver Updates 3c527 Update the 3c527 driver significantly 3c59x Significantly updated 8139too Updated with some of the fixes from 2.4 Advantech Watchdog Add support for the Advantech watchdog AGP Added support for the Intel i815 ALi 5451 Fix hang on boot when the midi IRQ is shared CMPCI Initialize driver if compiled into the kernel COSA Fix a wrong memory free CS46xx Fix a problem where the driver failed on the eMachines 400 CS89x0 Fix media selection DAC960 Updated to authors latest version DRM Remove the 'unused' AGP autoload hack from the DRM modules.

From Alan's notes:
Linux 2.2.18 Release Notes
Platforms:Alpha, M68K, PowerPC, S/390, Sparc, X86
Introduction
Linux 2.2.18 is the latest update to the Linux kernel tree. The out of the box tree supports the Alpha, PPC, Sparc and X86 platforms. MIPS
and ARM are mostly merged but you should obtain the platform specific tree.
Compilers
This x86 code is intended to build with gcc 2.7.2 and egcs 1.1.2. Patches for building with gcc 2.95 are merged but less tested than other
compilers. Caution is recommended when using gcc 2.95 and feedback is sought.
For other platforms check with the platform maintainers. Most of them recommend or require the use of gcc 2.95.
Binary Compatibility
Linux 2.2.18 should on the whole be fully binary compatible with old modules. There are no API changes, although 2.4 back compatibility
API's are also introduced in this release. In general you should not assume binary compatibility between kernel object modules in Linux.
Security Notes
Linux 2.2.18 contains additional 2.4test ABI calls for controlling how capabilities are handled when using setuid calls.
Architecture Updates
Alpha
Fixed a problem where csum_partial_copy could cause spurious EFAULT returns
Fixed a problem with FPU division
ARM
The ARM tree has been partially synchronized with the ARM working tree for 2.2
i386
The major thrust has been support for processors running in excess of 2GHz, support for the CyrixIII processor and also basic
support for the Pentium IV. Unfortunately Intel chose to ignore all precedent in model numbering via cpuid and report a family of '15'.
This sudden jump broke assumptions in the kernel tree without any warning. Intel have failed to provide good reasons for their
change. We have chosen to continue to report the Pentium IV as a '686' class processor. The full family data is provided via cpuinfo.
In addition the early Pentium IV chips appear to have some problems. You should be using stepping 7 or higher processors with the
latest shipping microcode update if you wish to run Linux on a Pentium IV processor.
Added a DMI scanner to handle broken Dell laptop APM
Added microcode update support from the 2.4test tree
Added msr/cpuid driver backport from 2.4test
Added support for processors running at over 2GHz

Partitions
Quietened down the partition table messages
RAID
Fix a raid1/vm deadlock
set_current_state
