2008-12-25[S390] qdio: fix error reporting for hipersocketsJan Glauber
Hipersocket connections can encounter temporary busy conditions. In case of the busy bit set we retry the SIGA operation immediatelly. If the busy condition still persists after 100 ms we fail and report the error to the upper layer. The second stage retry logic is removed. In case of ongoing busy conditions the upper layer needs to reset the connection. The reporting of a SIGA error is now done synchronously to allow the network driver to requeue the buffers. Also no error trace is created for the temporary SIGA errors so the error message view is not flooded.

2008-12-25[S390] arch_setup_additional_pages argumentsMartin Schwidefsky
arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary format descripton and an indication if the process uses an executable stack or not. The second argument is not used by anybody, it could be removed without replacement. What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not to map the vdso.

2008-12-25[S390] vmcp: remove BKLChristian Borntraeger
The vmcp driver uses the session->mutex for concurrent access of the data structures. Therefore, the BKL in vmcp_open does not protect against any other function in the driver. The BLK in vmcp_open would protect concurrent access to the module init but all necessary steps ave finished before misc_register is called. We can safely remove the lock_kernel from vcmp.

2008-12-25[S390] audit: get s390 ret_from_fork in sync with other architecturesAl Viro
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...

2008-12-25[S390] cpu topology: fix cpu_core_map initializationHeiko Carstens
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.

2008-12-24x86: disable X86_PTRACE_BTSIngo Molnar
there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28: config X86_PTRACE_BTS bool "Branch Trace Store" it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into a new task without clearing it. Fixes exist but they came too late: c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code. Signed-off-by: Ingo Molnar <mingo@elte.hu>

2008-12-23edac: fix edac core deadlock when removing a deviceHarry Ciao
When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure. Since we have no idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be proceseed. This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the completion of this wq_barrier. The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when it is found. EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the works of all current edac devices. They share the same callback function of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device. This is exactly where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock. In below call trace of rmmod > ... > edac_device_del_device > edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue, device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by edac_device_del_device(). So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up. edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical region of device_ctls_mutex. Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device() and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released. Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed. If this is the case, then it should bail out immediately. Since not all of existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be contained to edac device being removed. The current edac_dev.op_state can be used to serve this purpose. The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and tested on actual hardware. Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver would result in below deadlock: root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac EDAC DEBUG: mv64x60_dma_err_remove() EDAC DEBUG: edac_device_del_device() EDAC DEBUG: find_edac_device_by_dev() (hang for a moment) INFO: task edac-poller:2030 blocked for more than 120 seconds.

Impact: Prevent kernel crash with posix timer clockid CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW commit 2d42244ae71d6c7b0884b5664cf2eda30fb2ae68 (clocksource: introduce CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW) introduced a new clockid, which is only available to read out the raw not NTP adjusted system time. The above commit did not prevent that a posix timer can be created with that clockid. The timer_create() syscall succeeds and initializes the timer to a non existing hrtimer base. When the timer is deleted either by timer_delete() or by the exit() cleanup the kernel crashes. Prevent the creation of timers for CLOCK_MONOTONIC_RAW by setting the posix clock function to no_timer_create which returns an error code.
