The native 31 bit and the compat behaviour for the mmap system calls differ: In native 31 bit mode the passed in address for the mmap system call will be unmodified passed to sys_mmap_pgoff(). In compat mode however the passed in address will be modified with compat_ptr() which masks out the most significant bit. The result is that in native 31 bit mode each mmap request (with MAP_FIXED) will fail where the most significat bit is set, while in compat mode it may succeed. This odd behaviour was introduced with d3815898 "[S390] mmap: add missing compat_ptr conversion to both mmap compat syscalls". To restore a consistent behaviour accross native and compat mode this patch functionally reverts the above mentioned commit.

There are multiple errors in how sys_32_personality() handles personality flags stored in top three bytes. - directly comparing current->personality against PER_LINUX32 doesn't work in cases when any of the personality flags stored in the top three bytes are used. - directly forcefully setting personality to PER_LINUX32 or PER_LINUX discards any flags stored in the top three bytes Fix the first one by properly using personality() macro to compare only PER_MASK bytes. Fix the second one by setting only the bits that should be set, instead of overwriting the whole value.

If the last block of the HSA is read, EVSTATE_ALL_STORED is returned by SCLP. Because of a missing break in the switch statement two trace entries are written in this case: "all stored" and "part stored". This patch adds the missing break and also adds a "fall through" comment to improve the readability.

Tetsuo Handa reported that sporadically the system clock starts counting up too quickly which is enough to confuse the hangcheck timer to print a bogus stall warning. Commit 2a8c0883 "time: Move xtime_nsec adjustment underflow handling timekeeping_adjust" overlooked this exit path: } else return; which should really be a proper exit sequence, fixing the bug as a side effect. Also make the flow more readable by properly balancing curly braces.

Finally we can kill the 'sync_supers' kernel thread along with the '->write_super()' superblock operation because all the users are gone. Now every file-system is supposed to self-manage own superblock and its dirty state. The nice thing about killing this thread is that it improves power management. Indeed, 'sync_supers' is a source of monotonic system wake-ups - it woke up every 5 seconds no matter what - even if there were no dirty superblocks and even if there were no file-systems using this service (e.g., btrfs and journalled ext4 do not need it). So it was wasting power most of the time. And because the thread was in the core of the kernel, all systems had to have it. So I am quite happy to make it go away. Interestingly, this thread is a left-over from the pdflush kernel thread which was a self-forking kernel thread responsible for all the write-back in old Linux kernels. It was turned into per-block device BDI threads, and 'sync_supers' was a left-over. Thus, R.I.P, pdflush as well.
