      x86: use standard PIT frequency · e1b4d114
      Ingo Molnar authored 
      the RDC and ELAN platforms use slighly different PIT clocks, resulting in
a timex.h hack that changes PIT_TICK_RATE during build time. But if a
tester enables any of these platform support .config options, the PIT
will be miscalibrated on standard PC platforms.

So use one frequency - in a subsequent patch we'll add a quirk to allow
x86 platforms to define different PIT frequencies.

      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:

      [S390] fix compat sigaltstack syscall table entry · e9a4e9d5
      Michael Holzheu authored 
      When 31 bit user space programs call sigaltstack on a 64 bit Linux
OS, the system call returns -1 with errno=EFAULT. The 31 bit pointer passed
to the system call is extended to 64 bit, but the high order bits are not
set to zero. The kernel detects the invalid user space pointer and
returns -EFAULT. To solve the problem, sys32_sigaltstack_wrapper()
instead of sys32_sigaltstack() has to be called. The wrapper function sets
the high order bits to zero.

      Use the personality() macro to mask out all bits that are not
relevant for the personality type.
The personality field contains bits for other things as well,
so without masking out the not relevalent bits the comparison
won't do what is expected.
