2009-08-23[S390] set preferred console based on conmodeHendrik Brueckner
setup_arch() unconditionally sets the preferred console to ttyS. This breaks the use of 3270 devices as the console. Provide a new function to set the default preferred console for s390. The preferred console depends on the conmode parameter that is used to switch between 3270 and 3215 terminal/console mode.

2009-08-07[S390] kernel: Storing machine flags early in lowcoreHendrik Brueckner
Currently, the machine_flags are stored late in the startup initialization which results in failing machine type checks (e.g. for MACHINE_IS_VM). To allow these checks, store the machine flags in the lowcore when the machine type has been detected. Moving the machine_flags to the lowcore has been introduced with git commit 25097bf153391f7be4c591d47061b3dc4990dac2 Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2009-07-24[S390] vdso: clock_gettime of CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID with noexec=onMartin Schwidefsky
The combination of noexec=on and a clock_gettime call with clock id CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID is broken. The vdso code switches to the access register mode to get access to the per-cpu data structure to execute the magic ectg instruction. After the ectg instruction the code always switches back to the primary mode but for noexec=on the correct mode is the secondary mode. The effect of the bug is that the user space program looses the access to all mappings without PROT_EXEC, e.g. the stack. The problem is fixed by restoring the mode that has been active before the switch to the access register mode. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2009-07-24[S390] hibernation: fix lowcore handlingHeiko Carstens
Our swsusp_arch_suspend() backend implementation disables prefixing by setting the contents of the prefix register to 0. However afterwards common code functions are called which might access percpu data structures. Since the lowcore contains e.g. the percpu base pointer this isn't a good idea. So fix this by copying the hibernating cpu's lowcore to absolute address zero. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2009-06-22[S390] kprobes: defer setting of ctlblk stateHeiko Carstens
get_krobe_ctlblk returns a per cpu kprobe control block which holds the state of the current cpu wrt to kprobe. When inserting/removing a kprobe the state of the cpu which replaces the code is changed to KPROBE_SWAP_INST. This however is done when preemption is still enabled. So the state of the current cpu doesn't necessarily reflect the real state. To fix this move the code that changes the state to non-preemptible context.

2009-06-18function-graph: add stack frame testSteven Rostedt
In case gcc does something funny with the stack frames, or the return from function code, we would like to detect that. An arch may implement passing of a variable that is unique to the function and can be saved on entering a function and can be tested when exiting the function. Usually the frame pointer can be used for this purpose. This patch also implements this for x86. Where it passes in the stack frame of the parent function, and will test that frame on exit. There was a case in x86_32 with optimize for size (-Os) where, for a few functions, gcc would align the stack frame and place a copy of the return address into it. The function graph tracer modified the copy and not the actual return address. On return from the funtion, it did not go to the tracer hook, but returned to the parent. This broke the function graph tracer, because the return of the parent (where gcc did not do this funky manipulation) returned to the location that the child function was suppose to. This caused strange kernel crashes. This test detected the problem and pointed out where the issue was. This modifies the parameters of one of the functions that the arch specific code calls, so it includes changes to arch code to accommodate the new prototype. Note, I notice that the parsic arch implements its own push_return_trace. This is now a generic function and the ftrace_push_return_trace should be used instead. This patch does not touch that code.

The cpu_possible_map by default is initialized with all ones in s390. If the kernel paramert possible_cpus=<x> is passed the cpu_possible_map is supposed to have x bits set. However the current code just sets the x bits without clearing the NR_CPUS bits that were already set. So we end up with an unchanged map that has all bits set. To fix this just clear the map before setting any new bits. This broke with def6cfb70bab83c0094bc0cedd27c4eda563043e "[S390] cpumask: Use accessors code."
