[S390] nmi: fix clock comparator revalidation

2010-11-25T08:52:59Z

On each machine check all registers are revalidated. The save area for the clock comparator however only contains the upper most seven bytes of the former contents, if valid. Therefore the machine check handler uses a store clock instruction to get the current time and writes that to the clock comparator register which in turn will generate an immediate timer interrupt. However within the lowcore the expected time of the next timer interrupt is stored. If the interrupt happens before that time the handler won't be called. In turn the clock comparator won't be reprogrammed and therefore the interrupt condition stays pending which causes an interrupt loop until the expected time is reached. On NOHZ machines this can result in unresponsive machines since the time of the next expected interrupted can be a couple of days in the future. To fix this just revalidate the clock comparator register with the expected value. In addition the special handling for udelay must be changed as well.

[S390] uaccess: make sure copy_from_user_overflow is builtin

[S390] spinlock: check virtual cpu running status

2010-02-26T21:37:31Z

This patch introduces a new function that checks the running status of a cpu in a hypervisor. This status is not virtualized, so the check is only correct if running in an LPAR. On acquiring a spinlock, if the cpu holding the lock is scheduled by the hypervisor, we do a busy wait on the lock. If it is not scheduled, we yield over to that cpu.

[S390] uaccess: implement strict user copy checks

2010-02-26T21:37:29Z

Same as on x86 and sparc, besides the fact that enabling the option will just emit compile time warnings instead of errors. Keeps allyesconfig kernels compiling. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] Move __cpu_logical_map to smp.c

2010-01-13T19:44:45Z

Finally move it to the place where it belongs to and make get rid of it for !CONFIG_SMP. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Not strictly necessary for -rt as -rt does not have non sleeping rwlocks, but it's odd to not have a consistent naming convention. No functional change. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Acked-by: Peter Zijlstra Acked-by: David S. Miller Acked-by: Ingo Molnar Cc: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org

locking: Convert raw_spinlock to arch_spinlock

2009-12-14T22:55:32Z

The raw_spin* namespace was taken by lockdep for the architecture specific implementations. raw_spin_* would be the ideal name space for the spinlocks which are not converted to sleeping locks in preempt-rt. Linus suggested to convert the raw_ to arch_ locks and cleanup the name space instead of using an artifical name like core_spin, atomic_spin or whatever No functional change.

[S390] Use do_exception() in pagetable walk usercopy functions.

2009-12-07T11:51:34Z

The pagetable walk usercopy functions have used a modified copy of the do_exception() function for fault handling. This lead to inconsistencies with recent changes to do_exception(), e.g. performance counters. This patch changes the pagetable walk usercopy code to call do_exception() directly, eliminating the redundancy. A new parameter is added to do_exception() to specify the fault address.
