      [S390] Fix alignment of initial kernel stack. · 0778dc3a
      Heiko Carstens authored
      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.

      [S390] pgtable.h: Fix oops in unmap_vmas for KVM processes · 2944a5c9
      Christian Borntraeger authored
      When running several kvm processes with lots of memory overcommitment,
      we have seen an oops during process shutdown:

      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.

      [S390] fix/cleanup sched_clock · 8107d829
      Christian Borntraeger authored
      CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME reveals that sched_clock has a wrong offset during boot:
      ..
      [    0.000000]   Movable zone: 0 pages used for memmap

      [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.

      [S390] fix system call parameter functions. · 59da2139
      Martin Schwidefsky authored
      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.
