2008-11-14[S390] fix s390x_newunameMartin Schwidefsky
The uname system call for 64 bit compares current->personality without masking the upper 16 bits. If e.g. READ_IMPLIES_EXEC is set the result of a uname system call will always be s390x even if the process uses the s390 personality. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-11-14[S390] cpu topology: fix lockingHeiko Carstens
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. To prevent possible deadlocks change this in architecture code and use a spinlock instead of a mutex.

2008-11-14[S390] ftrace: fix kernel stack backchain walkingHeiko Carstens
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.

2008-11-14[S390] Fix range for add_active_range() in setup_memory()Gerald Schaefer
add_active_range() expects start_pfn + size as end_pfn value, i.e. not the pfn of the last page frame but the one behind that. We used the pfn of the last page frame so far, which can lead to a BUG_ON in move_freepages(), when the kernelcore parameter is specified (page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page)).

2008-10-28[S390] Fix sysdev class file creation.Heiko Carstens
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.

struct stat / compat_stat is the same on all architectures, so cp_compat_stat should be, too. Turns out it is, except that various architectures have slightly and some high2lowuid/high2lowgid or the direct assignment instead of the SET_UID/SET_GID that expands to the correct one anyway.

2008-10-03[S390] nohz: Fix __udelay.Heiko Carstens
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. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-09-09[S390] CVE-2008-1514: prevent ptrace padding area read/write in 31-bit modeJarod Wilson
When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel, 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.

2008-09-08kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifierManfred Spraul
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.

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.

2008-07-14[S390] Move memory detection code to own file.Heiko Carstens
Move memory detection code to own file and also simplify it. Also add an interface which can be called at any time to get the current memory layout. This interface is needed by our kernel internal system dumper.

2008-07-14[S390] arch/s390: Eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmemJulia Lawall
As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9e04d278316b2faddf276015fc06e3b, alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these functions is unnecessary. arch/s390/kernel/topology.c | 2 -- 1 file changed, 2 deletions(-) This was fixed using the following semantic patch.

2008-07-14[S390] Extra Kernel Parameters via VMPARMHendrik Brueckner
Now it is possible to specify additional kernel parameters on the IPL command line using the IPL PARM option. If the Linux system is already running, the new reipl sysfs attribute 'parm' can be used to change kernel parameters for the next reboot. Examples: IPL C PARM dasd=1234 root=/dev/dasda1 IPL 1234 PARM savesys=mylnxnss echo "init=/bin/bash" > /sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/parm Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

2008-07-14[S390] initrd vs bss section clearing.Heiko Carstens
In case the initrd is located within the bss section it will be overwritten when the section is cleared. To prevent this just move the initrd right behind the bss section if it starts within the section. The current code already moves the initrd if the bootmem allocator bitmap would overwrite it. With this patch we should be safe against initrd corruptions.
