      xen: handle highmem pages correctly when shrinking a domain · ff4ce8c3
      Ian Campbell authored 
      Commit 1058a75f ("xen: actually release
memory when shrinking domain") causes a crash if the page being released
is a highmem page.

If a page is highmem then there is no need to unmap it.

      x86, mm: fix pte_free() · 42ef73fe
      Peter Zijlstra authored 
      On -rt we were seeing spurious bad page states like:

Bad page state in process 'firefox'
page:c1bc2380 flags:0x40000000 mapping:c1bc2390 mapcount:0 count:0
Trying to fix it up, but a reboot is needed

[<c0218875>] do_page_fault+0x36f/0x88a

This is the case where a concurrent fault already installed the PTE and
we get to free the newly allocated one.

This is due to pgtable_page_ctor() doing the spin_lock_init(&page->ptl)
which is overlaid with the {private, mapping} struct.

union {
    struct {
        unsigned long private;
        struct address_space *mapping;
    };
    spinlock_t ptl;
    struct kmem_cache *slab;
    struct page *first_page;
};

Normally the spinlock is small enough to not stomp on page->mapping, but
PREEMPT_RT=y has huge 'spin'locks.

But lockdep kernels should also be able to trigger this splat, as the
lock tracking code grows the spinlock to cover page->mapping.

The obvious fix is calling pgtable_page_dtor() like the regular pte free
path __pte_free_tlb() does.

It seems all architectures except x86 and nm10300 already do this, and
nm10300 doesn't seem to use pgtable_page_ctor(), which suggests it
doesn't do SMP or simply doesnt do MMU at all or something.

      [S390] Add missing compat system call wrappers. · e34a6280
      Michael Holzheu authored 
      Add wrapper functions for the following compat system calls:
* readahead
* sendfile64
* tkill
* tgkill
* keyctl
This ensures that the high order bits of the parameter registers are correctly
sign extended.

      [S390] etr/stp: fix possible deadlock · 179cb81a
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      Precreate stop_machine threads in case the machine supports ETR/STP.
Otherwise we might deadlock if a time sync operation gets scheduled
and the creation of stop_machine threads would cause disk I/O.
This is just the minimal fix.
The real fix would be to only precreate stop_machine threads if
ETR/STP is actually used. But that would be a rather large and
complicated patch.

      [S390] cputime: fix lowcore initialization on cpu hotplug · f9a2f797
      Heiko Carstens authored 
      On (initial) cpu hotplug the lowcore values for user_timer and
system_timer don't get initialized like they would get on each
process schedule.
On initial start of secondary cpus this leads to the situation
where per thread user/system_timer values are larger than the
corresponding contents of the lowcore. When later calculating
time spent in user/system context the result can be negative.

So for cpu hotplug we should manually initialize lowcore values.

Fixes this bug:
