io-write-crash.patch Yes, the pointer provided by the caller, coming from the RPC buffer, may not
actually be safe to dereference. Try this with /run/shm as tmpfs with the crash
server configured to dump cores:

#include <fcntl.h>
#include <sys/mman.h>
#include <unistd.h>
#include <stdio.h>
#include <string.h>

#define name "/run/shm/test.txt"
int main(void) {
int fd = open(name, O_RDWR|O_CREAT, 0777);
if (ftruncate(fd, 4096))
perror("fruncate");
char *c = mmap(NULL, 4096, PROT_READ|PROT_WRITE, MAP_SHARED, fd, 0);
if (c == MAP_FAILED)
perror("mmap");
if (close(fd))
perror("close");
if (unlink(name))
perror("unlink");
memset(c, 0, 4096);
if (munmap(c, 4096))
perror("munmap");

return 0;
}

It will make *ext2fs* crash, because

- removing a file from tmpfs make its memory object go away, thus making *c
unwritable (it's not the bug at stake, the program here is meant to crash)
- the crash server uses vm_read to read the process memory to write the
core. GNU Mach achieves it by playing with virtual memory.
- the crash server uses vm_write to write this to the FS. GNU Mach passes the
RPC data out of line by playing with virtual memory.
- ext2fs eventually tries to copy from the RPC data, assumed to be safe, to the
memory object, here backed by the pager. But the data is actually not safe.


That probably needs to be fixed at the mig layer, to make sure incoming
out-of-line data is accessible before handing it to the routine?

git-SO_TIMESTAMP commit 1495073d15dc618b0b07f4cc2744db190d5488ce

pfinet: implement rudimentary SO_TIMESTAMP support

This patch adds support for UDP packet timestamping only when
both SO_TIMESTAMP and SCM_TIMESTAMP are defined.

* pfinet/linux-src/include/net/sock.h: add timestamp flag

* pfinet/linux-src/net/core/sock.c: modify sock_*sockopt to set
and query the timestamp flag.

* pfinet/linux-src/net/ipv4/udp.c: call put_cmsg in udp_recvmsg
to write the packet timestamp to the message anciliary data.

rumpuser-mem32 [PATCH 2/2 Hurd] Use memory with 32 bit physical addresses where potentially required.

Some rumpkernel APIs require memory allocated from 32 bit space if the
underlying device requires it for DMA. It is not clear which devices
require this so use it for all disk devices for the time being.		 Mike Kelly <mike@weatherwax.co.uk> no
