Eleminate the local variable machine_flags and always change machine flags directly in the lowcore. This avoids confusion about when and why the two variables have to be synchronized. Signed-off-by:

Note that this patch moves .data.init_task inside _edata. In addition, the alignment of .init.ramfs changes: It is now PAGE_ALIGNED and __initramfs_end is arbitrarily aligned; Previously it was only aligned to a 0x100-byte boundary, and always ended on an even byte. This change results in fewer output sections and in some data being reordered, but should have no functional effect. Signed-off-by:

.data.page_aligned should not need a separate output section, so as part of this cleanup I moved into the .data output section in the linker scripts in order to eliminate unnecessary references to the section name. Remove the reference to .data.idt, since nothing is put into the .data.idt section on the s390 architecture. It looks like Cyrill Gorcunov posted a patch to remove the .data.idt code on s390 previously: <http://lkml.indiana.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0802.2/2536.html> CCing him and the people who acked that patch in case there's a reason it wasn't applied.

The sysc_restore_trace_psw and io_restore_trace_psw storage locations are created in the .text section. When creating and IPLing from a named saved system (NSS), writing to these locations causes a protection exception (because the .text section is mapped as shared read-only in the NSS). To permit write access, move the storage locations into the .data section. The problem occurs only when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is set. The git commmit that has introduced these variables is: 411788eaSigned-off-by:

If the CP SET LOADDEV on the 3215 console has been used to specify SCPdata, all data is converted to upper case letters. When scpdata contains upper case letters only, convert all letters to lower case. Signed-off-by:

Hendrik Brueckner authored
Append scpdata to the kernel boot command line. If scpdata starts with the equal sign (=), the kernel boot command line is replaced. (For consistency with zIPL and IPL PARM parameters.) To use scpdata for the kernel boot command line, scpdata must consist of ascii characters only. If scpdata contains other characters, scpdata is not appended to the kernel boot command line. In addition, re-IPL is extended for setting scpdata for the next Linux reboot. Signed-off-by:

In the meantime gcc generates better code than the old inline assemblies do. Original inline assembly results in: lr %r1,%r2 sr %r3,%r3 lr %r2,%r1 srdl %r2,16 alr %r2,%r3 alr %r1,%r2 srl %r1,16 xilf %r1,65535 llghr %r2,%r1 br %r14 Out of the C code gcc generates this: rll %r1,%r2,16 ar %r1,%r2 srl %r1,16 xilf %r1,65535 llghr %r2,%r1 br %r14 In addition we don't have any static register allocations anymore and gcc is free to shuffle instructions around for better pipeline usage.

We used the init_name to set the console ccw_device's name early at the boot stage. This patch moves the name setting (for all ccw devices) to the point where we actually register the device. At this time we can do dynamic allocations and therefore use dev_set_name. Signed-off-by:

We use a test_and_clear_bit to prevent a device from being unregistered twice. Unfortunately in this cases the "final" put_device (from device_initialize) was issued more than once, resulting in an use after free error. Fix this by moving this put_device to ccw_device_unregister. Signed-off-by:

We used the init_name to set the console subchannels name early at the boot stage. With the patch cio: fix memleak in subchannel validation we moved the name setting to the point where we actually register the console subchannel. At this time we can do dynamic allocations and therefore use dev_set_name. Signed-off-by:
-
Sebastian Ott authored
When scanning for new subchannels we have a code path where we allocate memory for a struct subchannel, set the device name (which is dynamically allocated now) and do a check if the underlying device is blacklisted - if so we free the subchannel structure. Since we have not set up refcounting at this stage, the device name's memory is lost. Fix this by moving the dev_set_name after the blacklist test. Note: With this patch the init_name for the console subchannel becomes virtually obsolete. Signed-off-by:

When using s390dbf with "%s" in sprintf format strings the string itself is not copied to the dbf buffer. Since in this case only pointers are stored in the s390dbf, we should not use dev_name - which is bound to the lifetime of the device. Reading this entry from s390dbf after the device was released will cause an use after free error. Signed-off-by:

When unit checks trigger sensing the device state is set to W4SENSE until sense completion; then the device state is set back to ONLINE. If a unit check occurs while set online or set offline requests are processed then it might happen that the device's temporary W4SENSE state causes these functions to terminate, leaving the device in an inconsistent state when the state is set back to ONLINE later on so that the device cannot be set online or offline any longer. To solve this, set online/offline and related rollback or error routines are processed only if the device is in a final or DISCONNECTED state. Signed-off-by:

Ensure to always hold an extra device reference for scheduling a subchannel deregistration, by moving the get_device to ccw_device_schedule_sch_unregister.

Path verification events occurring for offline devices are currently ignored. As a result, offline devices are not removed, even though they might no longer be accessible (for example because the last path to the device was varied offline). Fix this by scheduling a status evaluation for the affected subchannel when a path verification event occurs. Signed-off-by:

Commit b8313b6d ("dm log: remove incorrect field from userspace table output") added a call to strstr() with a single-character "needle" string parameter. Unfortunately some versions of gcc replace such calls to strstr() by calls to strchr() behind our back. This causes linking errors if strchr() is defined as an inline function in <asm/string.h> (e.g. on m68k): | WARNING: "strchr" [drivers/md/dm-log-userspace.ko] undefined! Avoid this by explicitly calling strchr() instead. Signed-off-by:

In fs/binfmt_elf.c, load_elf_interp() calls padzero() for .bss even if the PT_LOAD has no PROT_WRITE and no .bss. This generates EFAULT. Here is a small test case. (Yes, there are other, useful PT_INTERP which have only .text and no .data/.bss.) ----- ptinterp.S _start: .globl _start nop int3 ----- $ gcc -m32 -nostartfiles -nostdlib -o ptinterp ptinterp.S $ gcc -m32 -Wl,--dynamic-linker=ptinterp -o hello hello.c $ ./hello Segmentation fault # during execve() itself After applying the patch: $ ./hello Trace trap # user-mode execution after execve() finishes If the ELF headers are actually self-inconsistent, then dying is fine. But having no PROT_WRITE segment is perfectly normal and correct if there is no segment with p_memsz > p_filesz (i.e. bss). John Reiser suggested checking for PROT_WRITE in the bss logic. I think it makes most sense to simply apply the bss logic only when there is bss. This patch looks less trivial than it is due to some reindentation. It just moves the "if (last_bss > elf_bss) {" test up to include the partial-page bss logic as well as the more-pages bss logic. Reported-by:John Reiser <jreiser@bitwagon.com> Signed-off-by:

Andy Whitcroft reported an oops in aoe triggered by use of an incorrectly initialised request_queue object: [ 2645.959090] kobject '<NULL>' (ffff880059ca22c0): tried to add an uninitialized object, something is seriously wrong. [ 2645.959104] Pid: 6, comm: events/0 Not tainted 2.6.31-5-generic #24-Ubuntu [ 2645.959107] Call Trace: [ 2645.959139] [<ffffffff8126ca2f>] kobject_add+0x5f/0x70 [ 2645.959151] [<ffffffff8125b4ab>] blk_register_queue+0x8b/0xf0 [ 2645.959155] [<ffffffff8126043f>] add_disk+0x8f/0x160 [ 2645.959161] [<ffffffffa01673c4>] aoeblk_gdalloc+0x164/0x1c0 [aoe] The request queue of an aoe device is not used but can be allocated in code that does not sleep. Bruno bisected this regression down to cd43e26f block: Expose stacked device queues in sysfs "This seems to generate /sys/block/$device/queue and its contents for everyone who is using queues, not just for those queues that have a non-NULL queue->request_fn." Addresses http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/410198 Addresses http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=13942 Note that embedding a queue inside another object has always been an illegal construct, since the queues are reference counted and must persist until the last reference is dropped. So aoe was always buggy in this respect (Jens). Signed-off-by:
