Add an s390 specific probe_kernel_write() function which allows to write to the kernel text segment even if write protection is enabled. This is implemented using the lra (load real address) and stura (store using real address) instructions.

probe_kernel_write() gets used to write to the kernel address space. E.g. to patch the kernel (kgdb, ftrace, kprobes...). Some architectures however enable write protection for the kernel text section, so that writes to this region would fault. This patch allows to specify an architecture specific version of probe_kernel_write() which allows to handle and bypass write protection of the text segment. That way it is still possible to catch random writes to kernel text and explicitly allow writes via this interface.

profile_tick is called twice for every clock comparator interrupt. The generic clock event code does it in tick_sched_timer and the s390 backend code in clock_comparator_work. That is one too many, remove the one in the arch backend code. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

If a DASD requests is started with dasd_sleep_on and fails, then the calling function may need to know the reason for the failure. In cases of hardware errors it can inspect the sense data in the irb, but when the reason is internal (e.g. start_IO failed) then it needs a meaningfull return code.

Some functions called as a late_initcall depend on completely initialized devices. Since commit f3445a1a the dasd driver uses the new async framework and relies on the fact that synchronization is done in prepare_namespace which is called after the late_initcalls. Fix this by calling async_synchronize_full at the end of the related init functions.

git commit f331c029 changed users of ->first_minor to devt. This broke device handling in dcssblk, so that no additional devices could be added after the first one.

With the kernel parameter 'vmalloc=<size>' the size of the vmalloc area can be specified. This can be used to increase or decrease the size of the area. Works in the same way as on some other architectures. This can be useful for features which make excessive use of vmalloc and wouldn't work otherwise. The default sizes remain unchanged: 96MB for 31 bit kernels and 1GB for 64 bit kernels.

Lockdep found a problem with the lock order of the view lock and the ccw device lock. raw3270_activate_view/raw3270_deactivate_view first take the ccw device lock then call the activate/deactivate functions of the view which take view lock. The update functions of the con3270/tty3270 view will first take the view lock, then take the ccw device lock. To fix this the activate/deactivate functions are changed to avoid taking the view lock by moving the functions calls that modify the 3270 output buffer to the update function which is called by a timer.

The tty3270_notifier that calls tty_register_device / tty_unregister_device is harmful in two ways: 1) the device node that is create is wrong because the minor numbers for 3270 tty start with 1 and tty_notifier passes the minor as index. 2) If 1) is corrected you'll get a warning: WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:462 sysfs_add_one+0x4c/0x60() sysfs: duplicate filename '227:1' can not be created The 227:1 link is already created by raw3270_create_attributes to refer to ../../class/tty/tty<devno>.

This adds a mini sclp device driver for very early use. The primary and probably only use will be to emit a message to the console if the cpu doesn't provide the minimum required capabilities to run the kernel. After printing the message a disabled wait will be loaded and the machine stops operating. Printing the message is also part of this patch.

This will remove every bd_mount_sem use in nilfs. The intended exclusion control was replaced by the previous patch ("nilfs2: correct exclusion control in nilfs_remount function") for nilfs_remount(), and this patch will replace remains with a new mutex that this inserts in nilfs object.

nilfs_remount() changes mount state of a superblock instance. Even though nilfs accesses other superblock instances during mount or remount, the mount state was not properly protected in nilfs_remount(). Moreover, nilfs_remount() has a lock order reversal problem; nilfs_get_sb() holds: 1. bdev->bd_mount_sem 2. sb->s_umount (sget acquires) and nilfs_remount() holds: 1. sb->s_umount (locked by the caller in vfs) 2. bdev->bd_mount_sem To avoid these problems, this patch divides a semaphore protecting super block instances from nilfs->ns_sem, and applies it to the mount state protection in nilfs_remount(). With this change, bd_mount_sem use is removed from nilfs_remount() and the lock order reversal will be resolved. And the new rw-semaphore, nilfs->ns_super_sem will properly protect the mount state except the modification from nilfs_error function.

This simplifies the test function passed on the remaining sget() callsite in nilfs. Instead of checking mount type (i.e. ro-mount/rw-mount/snapshot mount) in the test function passed to sget(), this patch first looks up the nilfs_sb_info struct which the given mount type matches, and then acquires the super block instance holding the nilfs_sb_info.

This will change the way to obtain nilfs object in nilfs_get_sb() function. Previously, a preliminary sget() call was performed, and the nilfs object was acquired from a super block instance found by the sget() call. This patch, instead, instroduces a new dedicated function find_or_create_nilfs(); as the name implies, the function finds an existent nilfs object from a global list or creates a new one if no object is found on the device.

The following EBUSY case in nilfs_get_sb() is meaningless. Indeed, this error code is never returned to the caller. if (!s->s_root) { ... } else if (!(s->s_flags & MS_RDONLY)) { err = -EBUSY; } This simply removes the else case.

Now that all filesystems provide ->sync_fs methods we can change __sync_filesystem to only call ->sync_fs. This gives us a clear separation between periodic writeouts which are driven by ->write_super and data integrity syncs that go through ->sync_fs.
