procfs: do not confuse jiffies with cputime64_t

2011-12-30T00:31:57+00:00

Commit 2a95ea6c0d129b4 ("procfs: do not overflow get_{idle,iowait}_time
for nohz") did not take into account that one some architectures jiffies
and cputime use different units.

This causes get_idle_time() to return numbers in the wrong units, making
the idle time fields in /proc/stat wrong.

Instead of converting the usec value returned by
get_cpu_{idle,iowait}_time_us to units of jiffies, use the new function
usecs_to_cputime64 to convert it to the correct unit of cputime64_t.

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

2011-12-19T16:18:43+00:00

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

Change oprofilefs_ulong_from_user()'s interface to return count
on success. Thus, we are able to return early if count equals
zero which avoids using *val uninitialized. Fixing all users of
oprofilefs_ulong_ from_user().

This follows write syscall implementation when count is zero:
"If count is zero ... [and if] no errors are detected, 0 will be
returned without causing any other effect." (man 2 write)

[S390] remove reset of system call restart on psw changes

2011-12-01T12:32:17+00:00

git commit 20b40a794baf3b4b "signal race with restarting system calls"
added code to the poke_user/poke_user_compat to reset the system call
restart information in the thread-info if the PSW address is changed.
The purpose of that change has been to workaround old gdbs that do
not know about the REGSET_SYSTEM_CALL. It turned out that this is not
a good idea, it makes the behaviour of the debuggee dependent on the
order of specific ptrace call, e.g. the REGSET_SYSTEM_CALL register
set needs to be written last. And the workaround does not really fix
old gdbs, inferior calls on interrupted restarting system calls do not
work either way.

[S390] add missing .set function for NT_S390_LAST_BREAK regset

2011-12-01T12:32:17+00:00

The last breaking event address is a read-only value, the regset misses the
.set function. If a PTRACE_SETREGSET is done for NT_S390_LAST_BREAK we
get an oops due to a branch to zero:

Kernel BUG at 0000000000000002 verbose debug info unavailable

[S390] fix page change underindication in pgste_update_all

2011-12-01T12:32:17+00:00

This patch makes sure we don't underindicate _PAGE_CHANGED in case
we have a race between an operation that changes the page and this
code path that hits us between page_get_storage_key and
page_set_storage_key. Note that we still have a potential
underindication on _PAGE_REFERENCED in the unlikely event that
the page was changed but not referenced _and_ someone references
the page in the race window. That's not considered to be a problem.

[S390] ptrace inferior call interactions with TIF_SYSCALL

2011-12-01T12:32:17+00:00

The TIF_SYSCALL bit needs to be cleared if the debugger changes the state
of the ptraced process in regard to the presence of a system call.
Otherwise the system call will be restarted although the debugger set up
an inferior call.

[S390] kdump: Replace is_kdump_kernel() with OLDMEM_BASE check

2011-12-01T12:32:17+00:00

In order to have the same behavior for kdump based stand-alone dump
as for the kexec method, the is_kdump_kernel() check (only true for
the kexec method) has to be replaced by the OLDMEM_BASE check (true
for both methods).

2011-11-17T14:25:52+00:00

KVM on s390 always had a sync mmu. Any mapping change in userspace
mapping was always reflected immediately in the guest mapping.
- In older code the guest mapping was just an offset
- In newer code the last level page table is shared

KVM: s390: Fix tprot locking

2011-11-17T14:25:48+00:00

There is a potential host deadlock in the tprot intercept handling.
We must not hold the mmap semaphore while resolving the guest
address. If userspace is remapping, then the memory detection in
the guest is broken anyway so we can safely separate the
address translation from walking the vmas.
