Remove dead sysctl_userprocess_debug. The variable is gone since we map our old userprocess_debug sysctl to the common code show_unhandled_signals sysctl on s390. Signed-off-by:

If an IO request is build on an alias device without prefix enabled we try to calculate with zero data from the alias device. This triggers a BUG statement with fixpoint divide exception. This case is very unlikely and can only happen if the pathgroup is lost with an alias device already in use. Prevent the alias device from being used in this case. Signed-off-by:

The queue_start_poll function pointer field in struct qdio_initialize had to change its type and become a vector of function pointers to support asynchronous delivery of storage blocks so rename the field to make the type change explicit and ensure no other user of qdio tries to use the field the old way. During setting up the qdio queues, only dereference vector elements if the vector is actually allocated. Signed-off-by:

Currently the vmalloc_start address (or better end of real memory) for s390x is obtained by makedumpfile using vmlist.addr symbol, which is not correct. The correct vmalloc_start address can be obtained using 'high_memory' symbol. This patch adds the high_memory symbol to vmcoreinfo. Signed-off-by:

The 'expires' value of a ccw requests defines how long the device driver should wait for a response from the evice after the request has been submitted to the channel subsystem. After the expiration time (e.g. 30 seconds) the waiting request will be cancelled and started again. This protects the DASD devices from beeing blocked by errors that cause the answering I/O interrupt to be lost. In case of error recovery requests, this 'expires' value used to be set to 0, so in case of a lost interrupt, such a recovery request would never expire and block the device. To prevent this kind of problem, all recovery requests need to have an expires value > 0 as well. If not specified otherwise, this should be the same expires value as for the original request.

The panic function will first print the panic message to the console, then stop additional cpus with smp_send_stop and finally call the function on the panic notifier list. In case of an I/O based console the panic message will cause I/O to be started and a function on the panic notifier list will wait for the completion of the I/O. That does not work if an I/O completion interrupt has already been delivered to a cpu that is then stopped by smp_send_stop. To break this cyclic dependency add code to smp_send_stop that gives the additional cpu the opportunity to complete outstanding interrupts. Signed-off-by: -

Move the program interruption code and the translation exception identifier to the pt_regs structure as 'int_code' and 'int_parm_long' and make the first level interrupt handler in entry[64].S store the two values. That makes it possible to drop 'prot_addr' and 'trap_no' from the thread_struct and to reduce the number of arguments to a lot of functions. Finally un-inline do_trap. Overall this saves 5812 bytes in the .text section of the 64 bit kernel. Signed-off-by: -

Remove last traces of our kerntypes patch which was always an addon patch which never got upstream. Somehow a few bits got upstream anyway. Since kerntypes aren't used anymore and lcrash isn't maintained (for s390 at least) remove the last traces of kerntypes that somehow went upstream. Also remove the documentation that mentions lcrash.

Increase cpu topology change poll frequency if a change is anticipated. Otherwise a user might be a bit confused to have to wait up to a minute in order to see a change this should be visible immediatly. However there is no guarantee that the change will happen during the time frame the poll frequency is increased. Signed-off-by:

Another round of cleanup for entry[64].S, in particular the program check handler looks more reasonable now. The code size for the 31 bit kernel has been reduced by 616 byte and by 528 byte for the 64 bit version. Even better the code is a bit faster as well. Signed-off-by: -

Remove all ifdefs from topology code and also only compile it for the CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK case. The new code selects SCHED_MC if SCHED_BOOK is selected. SCHED_MC without SCHED_BOOK is not possible anymore. Furthermore various sysfs attributes are not available anymore for the !SCHED_BOOK case. In particular all attributes that correspond to CPU polarization. But since all real world kernels have SCHED_BOOK selected anyway this doesn't matter too much. Signed-off-by:

Currently, when smp_switch_to_ipl_cpu() is done, the backchain in the dump analysis tool crash looks like the following: #0 [1f746e70] __machine_kexec at 11dd92 #1 [1f746eb8] smp_restart_cpu at 11820e #0 [00907eb0] cpu_idle at 10602e #1 [00907ef8] start_kernel at 979a08 It would be good to see the registers of the interrupted function. To achieve this, the backchain on the new stack has to be set to zero. This looks then like the following: #0 [1f746e70] __machine_kexec at 11dd8e #1 [1f746eb8] smp_restart_cpu at 11820a PSW: 0706000180000000 00000000005c6fe6 (vtime_stop_cpu+134) GPRS: 0000000000000000 00000000005c6fe6 0000000001ad0228 0000000001ad0248 0000000000907f08 0000000001ad0b40 0000000000979344 0000000000000000 00000000009c0000 00000000009c0010 00000000009ab024 0000000001ad0200 0000000001ad0238 00000000005cc9d8 000000000010602e 0000000000907e68 #0 [00907eb0] cpu_idle at 10602e #1 [00907ef8] start_kernel at 979a08 In addition to this, now also the correct PSW is stored in the pt_regs structure that is located at the start of the panic stack.

The kernel address space of a 64 bit kernel currently uses a three level page table and the vmemmap array has a fixed address and a fixed maximum size. A three level page table is good enough for systems with less than 3.8TB of memory, for bigger systems four page table levels need to be used. Each page table level costs a bit of performance, use 3 levels for normal systems and 4 levels only for the really big systems. To avoid bloating sparse.o too much set MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to 46 for a maximum of 64TB of memory. Signed-off-by: -

The current code in setup_boot_command_line() uses a heuristic to detect an EBCDIC command line. It checks if any of the bytes in the command line has bit one (0x80) set. In that case it is assumed that we have an EBCDIC string and the complete command line is converted. On s390 there are cases where the boot loader provides a kernel command line that is NULL terminated, but has random data after the NULL termination. In that case, setup_boot_command_line() might misinterpret an ASCII string for an EBCDIC string. A subsequent string conversion can then damage the ASCII string. This patch solves the problem by checking for NULL termination. If no EBCDIC character has been found until the the NULL termination has been found, we now assume that we have an ASCII string.

Bruce Fields notes that commit 778fc546 ("locks: fix tracking of inprogress lease breaks") introduced a possible error pointer dereference on failure to allocate memory. locks_conflict() will dereference the passed-in new lease lock structure that may be an error pointer. This means an open (without O_NONBLOCK set) on a file with a lease applied (generally only done when Samba or nfsd (with v4) is running) could crash if a kmalloc() fails. So instead of playing games with IS_ERROR() all over the place, just check the allocation failure early. That makes the code more straightforward, and avoids this possible bad pointer dereference.

Currently kvmppc_start_thread() tries to wake other SMT threads via xics_wake_cpu(). Unfortunately xics_wake_cpu only exists when CONFIG_SMP=Y so when compiling with CONFIG_SMP=N we get: arch/powerpc/kvm/built-in.o: In function `.kvmppc_start_thread': book3s_hv.c:(.text+0xa1e0): undefined reference to `.xics_wake_cpu' The following should be fine since kvmppc_start_thread() shouldn't called to start non-zero threads when SMP=N since threads_per_core=1.

Unlike all of the other cpuid bits, the TSC deadline timer bit is set unconditionally, regardless of what userspace wants. This is broken in several ways: - if userspace doesn't use KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, and doesn't emulate the TSC deadline timer feature, a guest that uses the feature will break - live migration to older host kernels that don't support the TSC deadline timer will cause the feature to be pulled from under the guest's feet; breaking it - guests that are broken wrt the feature will fail. Fix by not enabling the feature automatically; instead report it to userspace. Because the feature depends on KVM_CREATE_IRQCHIP, which we cannot guarantee will be called, we expose it via a KVM_CAP_TSC_DEADLINE_TIMER and not KVM_GET_SUPPORTED_CPUID. Fixes the Illumos guest kernel, which uses the TSC deadline timer feature. [avi: add the KVM_CAP + documentation] Reported-by:

Only allow KVM device assignment to attach to devices which: - Are not bridges - Have BAR resources (assume others are special devices) - The user has permissions to use Assigning a bridge is a configuration error, it's not supported, and typically doesn't result in the behavior the user is expecting anyway. Devices without BAR resources are typically chipset components that also don't have host drivers. We don't want users to hold such devices captive or cause system problems by fencing them off into an iommu domain. We determine "permission to use" by testing whether the user has access to the PCI sysfs resource files. By default a normal user will not have access to these files, so it provides a good indication that an administration agent has granted the user access to the device.
