2009-06-12	[S390] vmalloc: add vmalloc kernel parameter support	Heiko Carstens
	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.

2008-11-27	[S390] pgtable.h: Fix oops in unmap_vmas for KVM processes	Christian Borntraeger
	When running several kvm processes with lots of memory overcommitment, we have seen an oops during process shutdown: ------------[ cut here ]------------ Kernel BUG at 0000000000193434 [verbose debug info unavailable] addressing exception: 0005 [#1] PREEMPT SMP Modules linked in: kvm sunrpc qeth_l2 dm_mod qeth ccwgroup CPU: 10 Not tainted 2.6.28-rc4-kvm-bigiron-00521-g0ccca08-dirty #8 Process kuli (pid: 14460, task: 0000000149822338, ksp: 0000000024f57650) Krnl PSW : 0704e00180000000 0000000000193434 (unmap_vmas+0x884/0xf10) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:3 CC:2 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000002 0000000000000000 000000051008d000 000003e05e6034e0 00000000001933f6 00000000000001e9 0000000407259e0a 00000002be88c400 00000200001c1000 0000000407259608 0000000407259e08 0000000024f577f0 0000000407259e09 0000000000445fa8 00000000001933f6 0000000024f577f0 Krnl Code: 0000000000193426: eb22000c000d sllg %r2,%r2,12 000000000019342c: a7180000 lhi %r1,0 0000000000193430: b2290012 iske %r1,%r2 >0000000000193434: a7110002 tmll %r1,2 0000000000193438: a7840006 brc 8,193444 000000000019343c: 9602c000 oi 0(%r12),2 0000000000193440: 96806000 oi 0(%r6),128 0000000000193444: a7110004 tmll %r1,4 Call Trace: ([<00000000001933f6>] unmap_vmas+0x846/0xf10) [<0000000000199680>] exit_mmap+0x210/0x458 [<000000000012a8f8>] mmput+0x54/0xfc [<000000000012f714>] exit_mm+0x134/0x144 [<000000000013120c>] do_exit+0x240/0x878 [<00000000001318dc>] do_group_exit+0x98/0xc8 [<000000000013e6b0>] get_signal_to_deliver+0x30c/0x358 [<000000000010bee0>] do_signal+0xec/0x860 [<0000000000112e30>] sysc_sigpending+0xe/0x22 [<000002000013198a>] 0x2000013198a INFO: lockdep is turned off.

Since we are in pte_clear, we cannot rely on the pte containing a valid address. Fortunately we dont need these information in pte_clear - after all there is no mapping. The best fix is to remove the needless call to ptep_rcp_copy that contains the iske.

2008-10-28	[S390] pgtables: Fix race in enable_sie vs. page table ops	Christian Borntraeger
	The current enable_sie code sets the mm->context.pgstes bit to tell dup_mm that the new mm should have extended page tables. This bit is also used by the s390 specific page table primitives to decide about the page table layout - which means context.pgstes has two meanings. This can cause any kind of bugs. For example - e.g. shrink_zone can call ptep_clear_flush_young while enable_sie is running. ptep_clear_flush_young will test for context.pgstes. Since enable_sie changed that value of the old struct mm without changing the page table layout ptep_clear_flush_young will do the wrong thing. The solution is to split pgstes into two bits - one for the allocation - one for the current state Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-10-10	[S390] introduce dirty bit for kvm live migration	Florian Funke
	This patch defines a dirty bit in the PGSTE that can be used to implement dirty pages logging for KVM's live migration. The bit is set in the ptep_rcp_copy function, which is called to save dirty and referenced information from the storage key in the PGSTE. The bit can be tested and reset by KVM using the kvm_s390_test_and_clear_page_dirty function that is introduced by this patch.
