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...
[1] that *was* in another country and besides, the box is dead...

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.

Impact: change calling convention of existing clock_event APIs
struct clock_event_timer's cpumask field gets changed to take pointer,
as does the ->broadcast function.
Another single-patch change. For safety, we BUG_ON() in
clockevents_register_device() if it's not set.

Impact: cleanup
Each SMP arch defines these themselves. Move them to a central
location.
Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.
2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.
3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
so I just manipulate them both in sync.
4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
declarations.

new architecture that needs 32bit compat (if we'll ever get another).

We need an alignment of 16384 bytes for the initial kernel stack if
the kernel is configured for 16384 bytes stacks but the linker script
currently guarantees only an alignment of 8192 bytes.
So fix this and simply use THREAD_SIZE as alignment value which will
always do the right thing.

The faulting instruction is the storage key operation (iske) in
ptep_rcp_copy (called by pte_clear, called by unmap_vmas). iske
reads dirty and reference bit information for a physical page and
requires a valid physical address. 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.

[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

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.

We got a stack overflow with a small stack configuration on a 32 bit
system. It just looks like as 4kb isn't enough and too dangerous.
So lets get rid of 4kb stacks on 32 bit.
But one thing I completely dislike about the call trace below is that
just for debugging or tracing purposes sprintf gets called (cio_start_key):
/* process condition code */
sprintf(dbf_txt, "ccode:%d", ccode);
CIO_TRACE_EVENT(4, dbf_txt);
But maybe its just me who thinks that this could be done better.

allyesconfig and allmodconfig built kernels have a tape IPL record.
A the vmreader record makes much more sense, since hardly anybody will
ever IPL a kernel from tape. So change the default.
As I side effect I can test these kernels without fiddling around with
the kernel config ;)

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.

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

This patch implements a new freezer subsystem in the control groups
framework. It provides a way to stop and resume execution of all tasks in
a cgroup by writing in the cgroup filesystem.
The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a file named
freezer.state. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup. Reading will return the current state.
* Examples of usage :
# mkdir /containers/freezer
# mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
# mkdir /containers/0
# echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks
to get status of the freezer subsystem :
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
to freeze all tasks in the container :
# echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FREEZING
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FROZEN
to unfreeze all tasks in the container :
# echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
This is the basic mechanism which should do the right thing for user space
task in a simple scenario.
It's important to note that freezing can be incomplete. In that case we
return EBUSY. This means that some tasks in the cgroup are busy doing
something that prevents us from completely freezing the cgroup at this
time. After EBUSY, the cgroup will remain partially frozen -- reflected
by freezer.state reporting "FREEZING" when read. The state will remain
"FREEZING" until one of these things happens:
1) Userspace cancels the freezing operation by writing "RUNNING" to
the freezer.state file
2) Userspace retries the freezing operation by writing "FROZEN" to
the freezer.state file (writing "FREEZING" is not legal
and returns EIO)
3) The tasks that blocked the cgroup from entering the "FROZEN"
state disappear from the cgroup's set of tasks.

This patch series introduces a cgroup subsystem that utilizes the swsusp
freezer to freeze a group of tasks. It's immediately useful for batch job
management scripts. It should also be useful in the future for
implementing container checkpoint/restart.
The freezer subsystem in the container filesystem defines a cgroup file
named freezer.state. Reading freezer.state will return the current state
of the cgroup. Writing "FROZEN" to the state file will freeze all tasks
in the cgroup. Subsequently writing "RUNNING" will unfreeze the tasks in
the cgroup.
* Examples of usage :
# mkdir /containers/freezer
# mount -t cgroup -ofreezer freezer /containers
# mkdir /containers/0
# echo $some_pid > /containers/0/tasks
to get status of the freezer subsystem :
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
RUNNING
to freeze all tasks in the container :
# echo FROZEN > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FREEZING
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state
FROZEN
to unfreeze all tasks in the container :
# echo RUNNING > /containers/0/freezer.state
# cat /containers/0/freezer.state

This patch:
The first step in making the refrigerator() available to all
architectures, even for those without power management.
The purpose of such a change is to be able to use the refrigerator() in a
new control group subsystem which will implement a control group freezer.

There is nothing architecture specific about remove_memory().

hotplug memory remove. Instead of duplicating it in every architecture,
collapse them into arch neutral function.

Nothing arch specific in get/settimeofday. The details of the timeval
conversion varied a little from arch to arch, but all with the same
results.
Also add an extern declaration for sys_tz to linux/time.h because externs
in .c files are fowned upon. I'll kill the externs in various other files
in a sparate patch.

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.
This patch replaces the arch-specific cp_compat_stat implementations with
a common one based on the x86-64 one.

This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.
This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.

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.
