2009-06-12[S390] maccess: arch specific probe_kernel_write() implementationHeiko Carstens
Add an s390 specific probe_kernel_write() function which allows to write to the kernel text segment even if write protection is enabled. This is implemented using the lra (load real address) and stura (store using real address) instructions.

2009-06-12[S390] maccess: add weak attribute to probe_kernel_writeHeiko Carstens
probe_kernel_write() gets used to write to the kernel address space. E.g. to patch the kernel (kgdb, ftrace, kprobes...). Some architectures however enable write protection for the kernel text section, so that writes to this region would fault. This patch allows to specify an architecture specific version of probe_kernel_write() which allows to handle and bypass write protection of the text segment. That way it is still possible to catch random writes to kernel text and explicitly allow writes via this interface.

2009-06-12[S390] profile_tick called twiceMartin Schwidefsky
profile_tick is called twice for every clock comparator interrupt. The generic clock event code does it in tick_sched_timer and the s390 backend code in clock_comparator_work. That is one too many, remove the one in the arch backend code. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2009-06-12[S390] dasd: forward internal errors to dasd_sleep_on callerStefan Weinhuber
If a DASD requests is started with dasd_sleep_on and fails, then the calling function may need to know the reason for the failure. In cases of hardware errors it can inspect the sense data in the irb, but when the reason is internal (e.g. start_IO failed) then it needs a meaningfull return code.

2009-06-12[S390] dasd: sync after async probeSebastian Ott
Some functions called as a late_initcall depend on completely initialized devices. Since commit f3445a1a656bc26b07946cc6d20de1ef07c8d116 the dasd driver uses the new async framework and relies on the fact that synchronization is done in prepare_namespace which is called after the late_initcalls. Fix this by calling async_synchronize_full at the end of the related init functions.

2009-06-12[S390] vmalloc: add vmalloc kernel parameter supportHeiko Carstens
With the kernel parameter 'vmalloc=<size>' the size of the vmalloc area can be specified. This can be used to increase or decrease the size of the area. Works in the same way as on some other architectures. This can be useful for features which make excessive use of vmalloc and wouldn't work otherwise. The default sizes remain unchanged: 96MB for 31 bit kernels and 1GB for 64 bit kernels.

2009-06-12[S390] 3270: lock dependency fixesMartin Schwidefsky
Lockdep found a problem with the lock order of the view lock and the ccw device lock. raw3270_activate_view/raw3270_deactivate_view first take the ccw device lock then call the activate/deactivate functions of the view which take view lock. The update functions of the con3270/tty3270 view will first take the view lock, then take the ccw device lock. To fix this the activate/deactivate functions are changed to avoid taking the view lock by moving the functions calls that modify the 3270 output buffer to the update function which is called by a timer.

2009-06-12[S390] 3270: do not register with tty_register_deviceMartin Schwidefsky
The tty3270_notifier that calls tty_register_device / tty_unregister_device is harmful in two ways: 1) the device node that is create is wrong because the minor numbers for 3270 tty start with 1 and tty_notifier passes the minor as index. 2) If 1) is corrected you'll get a warning: WARNING: at fs/sysfs/dir.c:462 sysfs_add_one+0x4c/0x60() sysfs: duplicate filename '227:1' can not be created The 227:1 link is already created by raw3270_create_attributes to refer to ../../class/tty/tty<devno>.

2009-06-12memcg: fix page_cgroup fatal error in FLATMEMKAMEZAWA Hiroyuki
Now, SLAB is configured in very early stage and it can be used in init routine now. But replacing alloc_bootmem() in FLAT/DISCONTIGMEM's page_cgroup() initialization breaks the allocation, now. (Works well in SPARSEMEM case...it supports MEMORY_HOTPLUG and size of page_cgroup is in reasonable size (< 1 << MAX_ORDER.) This patch revive FLATMEM+memory cgroup by using alloc_bootmem. In future, We stop to support FLATMEM (if no users) or rewrite codes for flatmem completely.But this will adds more messy codes and overheads.

2009-06-12GFS2: Add tracepointsSteven Whitehouse
This patch adds the ability to trace various aspects of the GFS2 filesystem. The trace points are divided into three groups, glocks, logging and bmap. These points have been chosen because they allow inspection of the major internal functions of GFS2 and they are also generic enough that they are unlikely to need any major changes as the filesystem evolves.

2009-06-11[PATCH] net core: Some interface flags not returned by SIOCGIFFLAGSJohn Dykstra
Commit b00055aacdb172c05067612278ba27265fcd05ce " [NET] core: add RFC2863 operstate" defined new interface flag values. Its documentation specified that these flags could be accessed from user space via SIOCGIFFLAGS. However, this does not work because the new flags do not fit in that ioctl's argument width. Change the documentation to match the code's behavior. Also change the source to explicitly show the truncation. This _should_ have no effect on executable code, and did not with gcc 4.2.4 generating x86 code. A new ioctl could be defined to return all interface flags to user space. However, since this has been broken for three years with no one complaining, there doesn't seem much need. They are still accessible via netlink.
