The work function dispatched with schedule_work() can be run twice
on different cpus because run_workqueue clears the WORK_STRUCT_PENDING
bit and then executes the function. Another cpu can call schedule_work()
again and run the work function a second time before the first call
is completed. This patch serialized the etr and stp work function with

On s390 we have ret_from_fork jump not to the "do all work we
normally do on return from syscall" as on x86, ppc, etc., but to the
"do all such work except audit". Historical reasons - the codepath
triggered when we have AUDIT process flag set is separated from the
normall one and they converge at sysc_return, which is the common
part of post-syscall work. And does not include calling audit_syscall_exit() -
that's done in the end of sysc_tracesys path, just before that path jumps
to sysc_return.
IOW, the child returning from fork()/clone()/vfork() doesn't
call audit_syscall_exit() at all, so no matter what we do with its
audit context, we are not going to see the audit entry.
The fix is simple: have ret_from_fork go to the point just past
the call of sys_.... in the 'we have AUDIT flag set' path. There we
have (64bit variant; for 31bit the situation is the same):
sysc_tracenogo:
tm __TI_flags+7(%r9),(_TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE|_TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT)
jz sysc_return
la %r2,SP_PTREGS(%r15) # load pt_regs
larl %r14,sysc_return # return point is sysc_return
jg do_syscall_trace_exit
which is precisely what we need - check the flag, bugger off to sysc_return
if not set, otherwise call do_syscall_trace_exit() and bugger off to
sysc_return. r9 has just been properly set by ret_from_fork itself,
so we are fine.
Tested on s390x, seems to work fine. WARNING: it's been about
16 years since my last contact with 3X0 assembler[1], so additional
review would be very welcome. I don't think I've managed to screw it
up, but...

Common code doesn't call arch_update_cpu_topology() anymore on
cpu hotplug. But our architecture backend relied on that in order to
update the cpu_core_map. For machines without cpu topology support
this leads uninitialized cpu_core_maps for later on added cpus.
To solve this just initialize the maps with cpu_possible_map, since
that will be always valid for machines without topology support.

[6920575.991404] Inode-cache hash table entries: 262144 (order: 9, 2097152 bytes)
..
The s390 implementation of sched_clock uses the store clock instruction and
subtracts jiffies_timer_cc.
jiffies_timer_cc is a local variable in arch/s390/kernel/time.c and only used
for sched_clock and monotonic clock. For historical reasons there is an offset
on that value. With todays code this offset is unnecessary. By removing that
offset we can get a sched_clock which returns the nanoseconds after time_init.
This improves CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME.
Since sched_clock is the only user, I have also renamed jiffies_timer_cc to
sched_clock_base_cc. In addition, the local variable init_timer_cc is redundant
and can be romved as well.

syscall_get_nr() currently returns a valid result only if the call
chain of the traced process includes do_syscall_trace_enter(). But
collect_syscall() can be called for any sleeping task, the result of
syscall_get_nr() in general is completely bogus.
To make syscall_get_nr() work for any sleeping task the traps field
in pt_regs is replace with svcnr - the system call number the process
is executing. If svcnr == 0 the process is not on a system call path.
The syscall_get_arguments and syscall_set_arguments use regs->gprs[2]
for the first system call parameter. This is incorrect since gprs[2]
may have been overwritten with the system call number if the call
chain includes do_syscall_trace_enter. Use regs->orig_gprs2 instead.

cpu_coregroup_map used to grab a mutex on s390 since it was only
called from process context.
Since c7c22e4d5c1fdebfac4dba76de7d0338c2b0d832 "block: add support
for IO CPU affinity" this is not true anymore.
It now also gets called from softirq context.

With CONFIG_IRQSOFF_TRACER the trace_hardirqs_off() function includes
a call to __builtin_return_address(1). But we calltrace_hardirqs_off()
from early entry code. There we have just a single stack frame.
So this results in a kernel stack backchain walk that would walk beyond
the kernel stack. Following the NULL terminated backchain this results
in a lowcore read access.
To fix this we simply call trace_hardirqs_off_caller() and pass the
current instruction pointer.

Use sysdev_class_create_file() to create create sysdev class attributes
instead of sysfs_create_file(). Using sysfs_create_file() wasn't a very
good idea since the show and store functions have a different amount of
parameters for sysfs files and sysdev class files.
In particular the pointer to the buffer is the last argument and
therefore accesses to random memory regions happened.
Still worked surprisingly well until we got a kernel panic.

Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some
high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the

'sched/urgent' into sched/core

This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc576ae53c92a66e63fce7ddcfa74691
("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.
In addition this patch fixes also the following:
rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32
will result in a kernel panic.
This is also known as CVE-2008-1514.
Test case available here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap
Steps to reproduce:
1) wget the above
2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31
3) ./user-area-padding-31bit
<panic>
Test status
-----------
Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case,
as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads
returning zero, writes ignored.
Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the
gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested
the change to return 0 on write attempts.

Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.
The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.
Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.
