sigp sense only returns the status of a cpu if it is non zero. If the
status of the sensed cpu is all zeros condition code 0 (accpeted) is
set and no status bits are returned.
The current code however assumes that a status was returned and tests
bits in it. This means uninitalized data is accessed with random
results.
Worst case is that the code that checks if cpu is offline on cpu
hotplug assumes that the target cpu is offline while it is still
running. This leads potentially to memory corruption since resources
that are still needed by the target cpu will be freed and could be
resused while still in use.

According to the architecture a cpu must not necessarily enter stopped
state after completion of a sigp instruction with "stop" order code.
So remove the BUG() statement after self sending sigp stop to avoid
that it ever gets reached.
Also add a sigp busy check to make sure that the order gets delivered.

Offlined cpus still have valid prefix register contents. Dumpers
will store the register contents of a cpu to the location where its
prefix register points to.
For offlined cpus the area (lowcore) has been freed and the dumper
would write the uninteresting contents of the offline cpu to a memory
location which might be in use by some other component and destroy
valueable information.
To fix this set the prefix register of offline cpus to absolute
address zero again. This prevents the current dumpers to write to
random memory locations.

Most of the syscalls metadata processing is done from arch.
But these operations are mostly generic accross archs. Especially now
that we have a common variable name that expresses the number of
syscalls supported by an arch: NR_syscalls, the only remaining bits
that need to reside in arch is the syscall nr to addr translation.
v2: Compare syscalls symbols only after the "sys" prefix so that we
avoid spurious mismatches with archs that have syscalls wrappers,
in which case syscalls symbols have "SyS" prefixed aliases.

This patch adds an EX_TABLE entry to mvc{p|s|os} usercopy functions that
may be called with KERNEL_DS. In combination with collaborative memory
management, kernel pages marked as unused may trigger an adressing exception
in the usercopy functions. This fixes an unhandled addressing exception bug
where strncpy_from_user() is used with len > strnlen and KERNEL_DS, crossing
a page boundary to an unused page.

Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
|

When udelay() gets called with a delay that would expire before the
next clock event it reprograms the clock comparator.
When the interrupt happens the clock comparator won't be resetted
therefore the interrupt condition doesn't get cleared.
The result is an endless timer interrupt loop until the next clock
event would expire (stored in lowcore).
So udelay() usually would wait much longer for small delays than it
should.
Fix this by disabling the local tick which makes sure that the clock
comparator will be resetted when a timer interrupt happens.

The s390 version of module_frob_arch_sections allocates additional
syminfos for got and plt offsets. These syminfos are freed on
sucessful module load. If the module fails to load (e.g. missing
dependency when using insmod instead of modprobe) this area is not
freed.
This patch lets module_free free this area. Please note, we have to
set the pointer to NULL since module_free is called several times
from the generic code.

Currently, when the physical resume CPU is not equal to the physical suspend
CPU, we swap the CPUs logically, by modifying the logical/physical CPU mapping.
This has two major drawbacks: First the change is visible from user space (e.g.
CPU sysfs files) and second it is hard to ensure that nowhere in the kernel
the physical CPU ID is stored before suspend.
To fix this, we now really swap the physical CPUs, if the resume CPU is not
the pysical suspend CPU. We restart the suspend CPU and stop the resume CPU
using SIGP restart and SIGP stop. If the suspend CPU is no longer available,
we write a message and load a disabled wait PSW.

Add a flag for mmap that will be used to request a huge page region that
will look like anonymous memory to user space. This is accomplished by
using a file on the internal vfsmount. MAP_HUGETLB is a modifier of
MAP_ANONYMOUS and so must be specified with it. The region will behave
the same as a MAP_ANONYMOUS region using small pages.
The patch also adds the MAP_STACK flag, which was previously defined only
on some architectures but not on others. Since MAP_STACK is meant to be a
hint only, architectures can define it without assigning a specific
meaning to it.

Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
monitoring, analysis facility.
Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
less appropriate.
All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
suggested a rename.
User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
keep the size down.)
This patch has been generated via the following script:
FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
sed -i \
-e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
-e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
-e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
-e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
-e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
-e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
$FILES
for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
mv $N $M
done
FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
sed -i \
-e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
-e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
-e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
-e 's/counter/event/g' \
-e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
$FILES
... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
