PSW restart can be triggered on offline CPUs. If this happens, currently the PSW restart code fails, because functions like smp_processor_id() do not work on offline CPUs. This patch fixes this as follows: If PSW restart is triggered on an offline CPU, the PSW restart (sigp restart) is done a second time on another CPU that is online and the old CPU is stopped afterwards.

Currently only the address of the pre-allocated ELF header is passed with the elfcorehdr= kernel parameter. In order to reserve memory for the header in the 2nd kernel also the size is required. Current kdump architecture backends use different methods to do that, e.g. x86 uses the memmap= kernel parameter. On s390 there is no easy way to transfer this information. Therefore the elfcorehdr kernel parameter is extended to also pass the size. This now can also be used as standard mechanism by all future kdump architecture backends. The syntax of the kernel parameter is extended as follows: elfcorehdr=[size[KMG]@]offset[KMG] This change is backward compatible because elfcorehdr=size is still allowed. Acked-by:

On s390 there is a different KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT for the normal and the kdump kexec case. Therefore this patch introduces a new macro KEXEC_CRASH_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. This is set to KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT for all architectures that do not define KEXEC_CRASH_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. Acked-by:

The rcu page table free code uses a couple of bits in the page table pointer passed to tlb_remove_table to discern the different page table types. __tlb_remove_table extracts the type with an incorrect mask which leads to memory leaks. The correct mask is ((FRAG_MASK << 4) | FRAG_MASK). Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:

git commit 5e9a2692 "[S390] ptrace cleanup" introduced a regression for the case when both a user PER set (e.g. a storage alteration trace) and PTRACE_SINGLESTEP are active. The new code will overrule the user PER set with a instruction-fetch PER set over the whole address space for ptrace single stepping. The inferior process will be stopped after each instruction with an instruction fetch event. Any other events that may have occurred concurrently are not reported (e.g. storage alteration event) because the control bits for them are not set. The solution is to merge the PER control bits of the user PER set with the PER_EVENT_IFETCH control bit for PTRACE_SINGLESTEP. Cc: stable@kernel.org Signed-off-by:

In setlease, we use i_writecount to decide whether we can give out a read lease. In open, we break leases before incrementing i_writecount. There is therefore a window between the break lease and the i_writecount increment when setlease could add a new read lease. This would leave us with a simultaneous write open and read lease, which shouldn't happen. Signed-off-by:

The i_mutex lock use of generic _file_llseek hurts. Independent processes accessing the same file synchronize over a single lock, even though they have no need for synchronization at all. Under high utilization this can cause llseek to scale very poorly on larger systems. This patch does some rethinking of the llseek locking model: First the 64bit f_pos is not necessarily atomic without locks on 32bit systems. This can already cause races with read() today. This was discussed on linux-kernel in the past and deemed acceptable. The patch does not change that. Let's look at the different seek variants: SEEK_SET: Doesn't really need any locking. If there's a race one writer wins, the other loses. For 32bit the non atomic update races against read() stay the same. Without a lock they can also happen against write() now. The read() race was deemed acceptable in past discussions, and I think if it's ok for read it's ok for write too. => Don't need a lock. SEEK_END: This behaves like SEEK_SET plus it reads the maximum size too. Reading the maximum size would have the 32bit atomic problem. But luckily we already have a way to read the maximum size without locking (i_size_read), so we can just use that instead. Without i_mutex there is no synchronization with write() anymore, however since the write() update is atomic on 64bit it just behaves like another racy SEEK_SET. On non atomic 32bit it's the same as SEEK_SET. => Don't need a lock, but need to use i_size_read() SEEK_CUR: This has a read-modify-write race window on the same file. One could argue that any application doing unsynchronized seeks on the same file is already broken. But for the sake of not adding a regression here I'm using the file->f_lock to synchronize this. Using this lock is much better than the inode mutex because it doesn't synchronize between processes. => So still need a lock, but can use a f_lock. This patch implements this new scheme in generic_file_llseek. I dropped generic_file_llseek_unlocked and changed all callers. Signed-off-by:

This doesn't change anything for the compiler, but hch thought it would make the code clearer. I moved the reference counting into its own little inline. Signed-off-by:

Add inlines to all the submission path functions. While this increases code size it also gives gcc a lot of optimization opportunities in this critical hotpath. In particular -- together with some other changes -- this allows gcc to get rid of the unnecessary clearing of sdio at the beginning and optimize the messy parameter passing. Any non inlining of a function which takes a sdio parameter would break this optimization because they cannot be done if the address of a structure is taken. Note that benefits are only seen with CONFIG_OPTIMIZE_INLINING and CONFIG_CC_OPTIMIZE_FOR_SIZE both set to off. This gives about 2.2% improvement on a large database benchmark with a high IOPS rate.

Only a single b_private field in the map_bh buffer head is needed after the submission path. Move map_bh separately to avoid storing this information in the long term slab. This avoids the weird 104 byte hole in struct dio_submit which also needed to be memseted early. Signed-off-by:

A direct slab call is slightly faster than kmalloc and can be better cached per CPU. It also avoids rounding to the next kmalloc slab. In addition this enforces cache line alignment for struct dio to avoid any false sharing. Signed-off-by:

This large, but largely mechanic, patch moves all fields in struct dio that are only used in the submission path into a separate on stack data structure. This has the advantage that the memory is very likely cache hot, which is not guaranteed for memory fresh out of kmalloc. This also gives gcc more optimization potential because it can easier determine that there are no external aliases for these variables. The sdio initialization is a initialization now instead of memset. This allows gcc to break sdio into individual fields and optimize away unnecessary zeroing (after all the functions are inlined) Signed-off-by:
