      s390/cpumf: Fix warning from check_processor_id · b6ffdf27
      Thomas Richter authored
      Function __hw_perf_event_init() used a CPU variable without
      ensuring CPU preemption has been disabled. This caused the
      following warning in the kernel log:

      The variable is now accessed in proper context. Use
      get_cpu_var()/put_cpu_var() pair to disable
      preemption during access.
      As the hardware authorization settings apply to all CPUs, it
      does not matter which CPU is used to check the authorization setting.
      
      Remove the event->count assignment. It is not needed as function
      perf_event_alloc() allocates memory for the event with kzalloc() and
      thus count is already set to zero.

      s390/zcrypt: revisit ap device remove procedure · 01396a37
      Harald Freudenberger authored
      Working with the vfio-ap driver let to some revisit of the way
      how an ap (queue) device is removed from the driver.
      With the current implementation all the cleanup was done before
      the driver even got notified about the removal. Now the ap
      queue removal is done in 3 steps:
      1) A preparation step, all ap messages within the queue
         are flushed and so the driver does 'receive' them.
         Also a new state AP_STATE_REMOVE assigned to the queue
         makes sure there are no new messages queued in.
      2) Now the driver's remove function is invoked and the
         driver should do the job of cleaning up it's internal
         administration lists or whatever. After 2) is done
         it is guaranteed, that the driver is not invoked any
         more. On the other hand the driver has to make sure
         that the APQN is not accessed any more after step 2
         is complete.
      3) Now the ap bus code does the job of total cleanup of the
         APQN. A reset with zero is triggered and the state of
         the queue goes to AP_STATE_UNBOUND.
         After step 3) is complete, the ap queue has no pending
         messages and the APQN is cleared and so there are no
         requests and replies lingering around in the firmware
         queue for this APQN. Also the interrupts are disabled.
      
      After these remove steps the ap queue device may be assigned
      to another driver.
      
      Stress testing this remove/probe procedure showed a problem with the
      correct module reference counting. The actual receive of an reply in
      the driver is done asynchronous with completions. So with a driver
      change on an ap queue the message flush triggers completions but the
      threads waiting for the completions may run at a time where the queue
      already has the new driver assigned. So the module_put() at receive
      time needs to be done on the driver module which queued the ap
      message. This change is also part of this patch.

      s390: limit brk randomization to 32MB · cd479ecc
      Martin Schwidefsky authored
      For a 64-bit process the randomization of the program break is quite
      large with 1GB. That is as big as the randomization of the anonymous
      mapping base, for a test case started with '/lib/ld64.so.1 <exec>'
      it can happen that the heap is placed after the stack. To avoid
      this limit the program break randomization to 32MB for 64-bit and
      keep 8MB for 31-bit.

      Linux supports ELF binaries for ~25 years now.  a.out coredumping has
      bitrotten quite significantly and would need some fixing to get it into
      shape again but considering how even the toolchains cannot create a.out
      executables in its default configuration, let's deprecate a.out support
      and remove it a couple of releases later, instead.

      a.out: remove core dumping support · 08300f44
      Linus Torvalds authored
      We're (finally) phasing out a.out support for good.  As Borislav Petkov
      points out, we've supported ELF binaries for about 25 years by now, and
      coredumping in particular has bitrotted over the years.
      
      None of the tool chains even support generating a.out binaries any more,
      and the plan is to deprecate a.out support entirely for the kernel.  But
      I want to start with just removing the core dumping code, because I can
      still imagine that somebody actually might want to support a.out as a
      simpler biinary format.
      
      Particularly if you generate some random binaries on the fly, ELF is a
      much more complicated format (admittedly ELF also does have a lot of
      toolchain support, mitigating that complexity a lot and you really
      should have moved over in the last 25 years).
      
      So it's at least somewhat possible that somebody out there has some
      workflow that still involves generating and running a.out executables.
      
      In contrast, it's very unlikely that anybody depends on debugging any
      legacy a.out core files.  But regardless, I want this phase-out to be
      done in two steps, so that we can resurrect a.out support (if needed)
      without having to resurrect the core file dumping that is almost
      certainly not needed.
      
      Jann Horn pointed to the <asm/a.out-core.h> file that my first trivial
      cut at this had missed.
      
      And Alan Cox points out that the a.out binary loader _could_ be done in
      user space if somebody wants to, but we might keep just the loader in
      the kernel if somebody really wants it, since the loader isn't that big
      and has no really odd special cases like the core dumping does.

      fs: Make splice() and tee() take into account O_NONBLOCK flag on pipes · ee5e0011
      Slavomir Kaslev authored
      The current implementation of splice() and tee() ignores O_NONBLOCK set
      on pipe file descriptors and checks only the SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK flag for
      blocking on pipe arguments.  This is inconsistent since splice()-ing
      from/to non-pipe file descriptors does take O_NONBLOCK into
      consideration.
      
      Fix this by promoting O_NONBLOCK, when set on a pipe, to
      SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK.
      
      Some context for how the current implementation of splice() leads to
      inconsistent behavior.  In the ongoing work[1] to add VM tracing
      capability to trace-cmd we stream tracing data over named FIFOs or
      vsockets from guests back to the host.
      
      When we receive SIGINT from user to stop tracing, we set O_NONBLOCK on
      the input file descriptor and set SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK for the next call to
      splice().  If splice() was blocked waiting on data from the input FIFO,
      after SIGINT splice() restarts with the same arguments (no
      SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK) and blocks again instead of returning -EAGAIN when no
      data is available.
      
      This differs from the splice() behavior when reading from a vsocket or
      when we're doing a traditional read()/write() loop (trace-cmd's
      --nosplice argument).
      
      With this patch applied we get the same behavior in all situations after
      setting O_NONBLOCK which also matches the behavior of doing a
      read()/write() loop instead of splice().
      
      This change does have potential of breaking users who don't expect
      EAGAIN from splice() when SPLICE_F_NONBLOCK is not set.  OTOH programs
      that set O_NONBLOCK and don't anticipate EAGAIN are arguably buggy[2].
