Currently we use the cpuid (via STIDP instruction) to recognize LPAR, z/VM and KVM. The architecture states, that bit 0-7 of STIDP returns all zero, and if STIDP is executed in a virtual machine, the VM operating system will replace bits 0-7 with FF. KVM should not use FE to distinguish z/VM from KVM for interested guests. The proper way to detect the hypervisor is the STSI (Store System Information) instruction, which return information about the hypervisors via function code 3, selector1=2, selector2=2. This patch changes the detection routine of Linux to use STSI instead of STIDP. This detection is earlier than bootmem, we have to use a static buffer. Since STSI expects a 4kb block (4kb aligned) this patch also changes the init.data alignment for s390. As this section will be freed during boot, this should be no problem. Patch is tested with LPAR, z/VM, KVM on LPAR, and KVM under z/VM. Signed-off-by:

The sie instruction requires address spaces to be switched to run proper. This patch verifies that this is the case in s390_enable_sie, otherwise the kernel would crash badly as soon as the process runs into sie. Signed-off-by:

The dasd device driver will now support ECKD devices with more then 65520 cylinders. In the traditional ECKD adressing scheme each track is addressed by a 16-bit cylinder and 16-bit head number. The new addressing scheme makes use of the fact that the actual number of heads is never larger then 15, so 12 bits of the head number can be redefined to be part of the cylinder address.

With a sufficiently new compiler and binutils, code which wasn't previously generating .eh_frame sections has begun to. Certain architectures (powerpc, in this case) may generate unexpected relocation formats in response to this, preventing modules from loading. While the new relocation types should probably be handled, revert to the previous behaviour with regards to generation of .eh_frame sections.

This patch fixes bug #12208: Bug-Entry : http://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=12208 Subject : uml is very slow on 2.6.28 host This turned out to be not a scheduler regression, but an already existing problem in ptrace being triggered by subtle scheduler changes. The problem is this: - task A is ptracing task B - task B stops on a trace event - task A is woken up and preempts task B - task A calls ptrace on task B, which does ptrace_check_attach() - this calls wait_task_inactive(), which sees that task B is still on the runq - task A goes to sleep for a jiffy - ... Since UML does lots of the above sequences, those jiffies quickly add up to make it slow as hell. This patch solves this by not rescheduling in read_unlock() after ptrace_stop() has woken up the tracer. Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Ingo Molnar for the feedback. Signed-off-by:

Also, since we fully construct phy_bus_id in the _probe() routine, we no longer need ->phy_address and ->mdio_bus fields in ucc_geth_info structure. I wish the patch would be a bit shorter, but it seems like the only way to fix the issue in a sane way. Luckily, the patch has been tested with real PHYs and fixed-link, so no further regressions expected. Reported-by:

This fixes a locking bug in the dm9000 driver. It calls request_irq() without setting IRQF_DISABLED ... which is correct for handlers that support IRQ sharing, since that behavior is not guaranteed for shared IRQs. However, its IRQ handler then wrongly assumes that IRQs are blocked. So the fix just uses the right spinlock primitives in the IRQ handler. NOTE: this is a classic example of the type of bug which lockdep currently masks by forcibly setting IRQF_DISABLED on IRQ handlers that did not request that flag. Signed-off-by:

If ecryptfs_encrypted_view or ecryptfs_xattr_metadata were being specified as mount options, a NULL pointer dereference of crypt_stat was possible during lookup. This patch moves the crypt_stat assignment into ecryptfs_lookup_and_interpose_lower(), ensuring that crypt_stat will not be NULL before we attempt to dereference it. Thanks to Dan Carpenter and his static analysis tool, smatch, for finding this bug. Signed-off-by:

When allocating the memory used to store the eCryptfs header contents, a single, zeroed page was being allocated with get_zeroed_page(). However, the size of an eCryptfs header is either PAGE_CACHE_SIZE or ECRYPTFS_MINIMUM_HEADER_EXTENT_SIZE (8192), whichever is larger, and is stored in the file's private_data->crypt_stat->num_header_bytes_at_front field. ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents() was using num_header_bytes_at_front to decide how many bytes should be written to the lower filesystem for the file header. Unfortunately, at least 8K was being written from the page, despite the chance of the single, zeroed page being smaller than 8K. This resulted in random areas of kernel memory being written between the 0x1000 and 0x1FFF bytes offsets in the eCryptfs file headers if PAGE_SIZE was 4K. This patch allocates a variable number of pages, calculated with num_header_bytes_at_front, and passes the number of allocated pages along to ecryptfs_write_metadata_to_contents(). Thanks to Florian Streibelt for reporting the data leak and working with me to find the problem. 2.6.28 is the only kernel release with this vulnerability. Corresponds to CVE-2009-0787 Signed-off-by:

This fixes a regression introduced when we switched to using the core pci_set_power_state(). The chip seems to need the state to be written over and over again until it sticks, so we do that. Note that the code is a bit blunt, without timeout, etc... but that's pretty much because I put back in there the code exactly as it used to be before the regression. I still add a call to pci_set_power_state() at the end so that ACPI gets called appropriately on x86. Signed-off-by:
