This breaks out the ptrace handling from get_signal_to_deliver into a new subroutine. The actual code there doesn't change, and it gets inlined into nearly identical compiled code. This makes the function substantially shorter and thus easier to read, and it nicely isolates the ptrace magic. Signed-off-by:

When I ran a test program to fork mass processes and at the same time 'cat /cgroup/tasks', I got the following oops: ------------[ cut here ]------------ kernel BUG at lib/list_debug.c:72! invalid opcode: 0000 [#1] SMP Pid: 4178, comm: a.out Not tainted (2.6.25-rc9 #72) ...

After digging into the code and debugging, I finlly found out a race situation: do_exit() ->cgroup_exit() ->if (!list_empty(&tsk->cg_list)) list_del(&tsk->cg_list); cgroup_iter_start() ->cgroup_enable_task_cg_list() ->list_add(&tsk->cg_list, ..); In this case the list won't be deleted though the process has exited. We got two bug reports in the past, which seem to be the same bug as this one: http://lkml.org/lkml/2008/3/5/332 http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/17/224 Actually sometimes I got oops on list_del, sometimes oops on list_add.

Newer s390 models have a breaking-event-address-recording register. Each time an instruction causes a break in the sequential instruction execution, the address is saved in that hardware register. On a program interrupt the address is copied to the lowcore address 272-279, which makes it software accessible. This patch changes the program check handler and the stack overflow checker to copy the value into the pt_regs argument. The oops output is enhanced to show the last known breaking address. It might give additional information if the stack trace is corrupted. The feature is only available on 64 bit. The new oops output looks like: [---------snip----------] Modules linked in: vmcp sunrpc qeth_l2 dm_mod qeth ccwgroup CPU: 2 Not tainted 2.6.24zlive-host #8 Process modprobe (pid: 4788, task: 00000000bf3d8718, ksp: 00000000b2b0b8e0) Krnl PSW : 0704200180000000 000003e000020028 (vmcp_init+0x28/0xe4 [vmcp]) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:2 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000004000002 000003e000020000 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 000000000015734c ffffffffffffffff 000003e0000b3b00 0000000000000000 000003e00007ca30 00000000b5bb5d40 00000000b5bb5800 000003e0000b3b00 000003e0000a2000 00000000003ecf50 00000000b2b0bd50 00000000b2b0bcb0 Krnl Code: 000003e000020018: c0c000040ff4 larl %r12,3e0000a2000 000003e00002001e: e3e0f0000024 stg %r14,0(%r15) 000003e000020024: a7f40001 brc 15,3e000020026 >000003e000020028: e310c0100004 lg %r1,16(%r12) 000003e00002002e: c020000413dc larl %r2,3e0000a27e6 000003e000020034: c0a00004aee6 larl %r10,3e0000b5e00 000003e00002003a: a7490001 lghi %r4,1 000003e00002003e: a75900f0 lghi %r5,240 Call Trace: ([<000000000014b300>] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x2c/0x40) [<000000000015735c>] sys_init_module+0x19d8/0x1b08 [<0000000000110afc>] sysc_noemu+0x10/0x16 [<000002000011cda2>] 0x2000011cda2 Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<000003e000020024>] vmcp_init+0x24/0xe4 [vmcp] [---------snip----------] Signed-off-by:Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

The current uaccess page table walk code assumes at a few places that any access is a user space access. This is not correct if somebody has issued a set_fs(KERNEL_DS) in advance. Add code which checks which address space we are in and with this make sure we access the correct address space. This way we get also rid of the dirty if (!currrent-mm) return -EFAULT; hack in futex_atomic_cmpxchg_pt. Signed-off-by:

Most noteable part of this commit is the new local header file entry.h which contains all the function declarations of functions that get only called from asm code or are arch internal.

I generally dislike adding optional linux/* includes in asm/* includes - I'm nervous about this causing include loops. However, there's a separate point to be discussed here. That is, what interfaces are expected of every architecture in the kernel. If generic code wants to be able to set the affinity of interrupts, then that needs to become part of the interfaces listed in linux/interrupt.h rather than linux/irq.h. So what I suggest is this approach instead (against Linus' tree of a couple of days ago) - we move irq_set_affinity() and irq_can_set_affinity() to linux/interrupt.h, change the linux/irq.h includes to linux/interrupt.h and include asm/irq_regs.h where needed (asm/irq_regs.h is supposed to be rarely used include since not much touches the stacked parent context registers.)

The api for hardware random number generators is currently limited to devices that never fail. If the hardware is registered as a source for random numbers it has to work. This prevents the use of i/o based random number devices where the i/o might fail. Add a check for errors after the read from a hardware random number device. This patch is required to support large random numbers retrieved from the CEX2C cards on System z. Signed-off-by:

If vertical cpu polarization is active then the hypervisor will dispatch certain cpus for a longer time than other cpus for maximum performance. For example if a guest would have three virtual cpus, each of them with a share of 33 percent, then in case of vertical cpu polarization all of the processing time would be combined to a single cpu which would run all the time, while the other two cpus would get nearly no cpu time. There are three different types of vertical cpus: high, medium and low. Low cpus hardly get any real cpu time, while high cpus get a full real cpu. Medium cpus get something in between. In order to switch between the two possible modes (default is horizontal) a 0 for horizontal polarization or a 1 for vertical polarization must be written to the dispatching sysfs attribute: /sys/devices/system/cpu/dispatching The polarization of each single cpu can be figured out by the polarization sysfs attribute of each cpu: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/polarization horizontal, vertical:high, vertical:medium, vertical:low or unknown. When switching polarization the polarization attribute may contain the value unknown until the configuration change is done and the kernel has figured out the new polarization of each cpu. Note that running a system with different types of vertical cpus may result in significant performance regressions. If possible only one type of vertical cpus should be used. All other cpus should be offlined. Signed-off-by:

If user space opens a unit record device node then vmur is leaving the kernel with lock open_mutex still held to prevent other processes from opening the device simultaneously. This causes lockdep to complain about a lock held when returning to user space. Now the mutex is replaced by a wait queue to serialize device open. Signed-off-by:

When a tape device is set online, offline and online again, the following error message is printed on the console: "sysfs: duplicate filename 'non-rewinding' can not be created". The reason is that when setting a device online, the tape driver creates a sysfs symlink from the tape device to the tape class device. Unfortunately the symlink is not removed correctly, when the device is set offline. Instead of passing the tape device object to sysfs_remove_link, the class device object is used. This patch fixes this problem and uses the correct tape device object now. Signed-off-by:

Problem: Usually every FCP device has its own indicator field the adapter uses to signal outstanding work. Once a certain limit of devices is reached, a common indicator field is used. In certain scenarios qdio resets this common indicator field, but handles only part of the FCP-devices sharing the common indicator field. Thus inbound traffic on the non-processed shared FCP-devices is not recognized immediately. Solution: Make sure common indicator field is reset only, if all FCP-devices sharing the indicator are processed. Signed-off-by:

Currently, we don't do much on no path or no device situations during normal user I/O, since we rely on reports regarding those events by the machine. If we trigger a path verification to bring our device state up-to-date, we (a) may recover from path failures earlier and (b) better handle situations where the hardware/hypervisor doesn't give us enough notifications.
