oprofile, s390: Fix uninitialized memory access when writing to oprofilefs

2012-08-27T12:49:23Z

If oprofilefs_ulong_from_user() is called with count equals zero, *val remains unchanged. Depending on the implementation it might be uninitialized. Fixing users of oprofilefs_ulong_ from_user().

s390: make use of user_mode() macro where possible

2012-07-30T09:03:12Z

We use the user_mode() helper already at several places but also have the open coded variant at other places. Convert the code to always use the helper function. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names

2012-07-20T09:15:04Z

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless. Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly different statements and wanted to change them one after another whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template for new files. So unify all of them in one go. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

s390/irq: split irq stats for cpu-measurement alert facilities

2012-05-23T15:06:52Z

CPU-measurement alerts are generated for different CPU-measurement facilities, for example, the sampling and counter facilities. Split the irq stats according to available facilities. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells: "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion dependencies. I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can and made sure that they don't break. The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2(). This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h. The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h. It holds a number of low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg. memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that aren't used in many places (eg. switch_to()). These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces: (1) asm/barrier.h Move memory barriers here. This already done for MIPS and Alpha. (2) asm/switch_to.h Move switch_to() and related stuff here. (3) asm/exec.h Move arch_align_stack() here. Other process execution related bits could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h. (4) asm/cmpxchg.h Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg(). (5) asm/bug.h Move die() and related bits. (6) asm/auxvec.h Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here. Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis." Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat weakened by that. We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it.. * tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system: (38 commits) Delete all instances of asm/system.h Remove all #inclusions of asm/system.h Add #includes needed to permit the removal of asm/system.h Move all declarations of free_initmem() to linux/mm.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for OpenRISC Split arch_align_stack() out from asm-generic/system.h Split the switch_to() wrapper out of asm-generic/system.h Move the asm-generic/system.h xchg() implementation to asm-generic/cmpxchg.h Create asm-generic/barrier.h Make asm-generic/cmpxchg.h #include asm-generic/cmpxchg-local.h Disintegrate asm/system.h for Xtensa Disintegrate asm/system.h for Unicore32 [based on ver #3, changed by gxt] Disintegrate asm/system.h for Tile Disintegrate asm/system.h for Sparc Disintegrate asm/system.h for SH Disintegrate asm/system.h for Score Disintegrate asm/system.h for S390 Disintegrate asm/system.h for PowerPC Disintegrate asm/system.h for PA-RISC Disintegrate asm/system.h for MN10300 ...

[S390] oprofile: Allow multiple users of the measurement alert interrupt

2012-03-23T10:13:24Z

Prepare the measurement facility which is currently only used by oprofile for multiple users. To achieve that the measurement alert interrupt control bit needs to be protected. The measurement alert definitions are moved to a header file and an interrupt mask is added so that users can discard interrupts if they are for a different measurement subsystem.

[S390] irq: external interrupt code passing

2012-03-11T15:59:29Z

The external interrupt handlers have a parameter called ext_int_code. Besides the name this paramter does not only contain the ext_int_code but in addition also the "cpu address" (POP) which caused the external interrupt. To make the code a bit more obvious pass a struct instead so the called function can easily distinguish between external interrupt code and cpu address. The cpu address field however is named "subcode" since some external interrupt sources do not pass a cpu address but a different parameter (or none at all).
