This fails with rc = 0x102, if the system has been ipled from the HMC using load from CD or load from file.

2008-07-25kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed lockingSrinivasa D S
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table. We have one global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists. This causes only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time. Hence affects system performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on lot of functions (like on all systemcalls). Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP system compared to present kretprobe implementation. Solution: 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table. We will have two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another lock for kretporbe object. 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list. To prevent deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe lock. 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash table.

This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things. I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86 machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups. I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype.

Calling the generic vmemmap_alloc_block() function to get initialized memory is a nice idea, however that function is __meminit annotated and therefore the function might be gone if we try to call it later.

2008-05-07[S390] s390-kvm: leave sie context on work. Removes preemption requirementChristian Borntraeger
From: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> This patch fixes a bug with cpu bound guest on kvm-s390. Sometimes it was impossible to deliver a signal to a spinning guest. We used preemption as a circumvention. The preemption notifiers called vcpu_load, which checked for pending signals and triggered a host intercept. But even with preemption, a sigkill was not delivered immediately. This patch changes the low level host interrupt handler to check for the SIE instruction, if TIF_WORK is set. In that case we change the instruction pointer of the return PSW to rerun the vcpu_run loop. The kvm code sees an intercept reason 0 if that happens. This patch adds accounting for these types of intercept as well. The advantages: - works with and without preemption - signals are delivered immediately - much better host latencies without preemption Acked-by: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

We can optimize this check: we first check for the less likely work case and then check for userspace. This patch is also a preparation for an additional patch, that fixes a bug in KVM dealing with cpu bound guests. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-05-03unified (weak) sys_pipe implementationUlrich Drepper
This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated code. It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers) I still haven't changed the cris version even though Linus says the BKL isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really no obstacles. Signed-off-by: Ulrich Drepper <drepper@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK no longer needs to be in the _TIF_WORK_* masks. Those low bits are scarce, and are all used up now. Renumber TIF_RESTORE_SIGMASK to free one up.
