The inline assembly in__arch_swab16p causes compile errors of the form:

*error*: *invalid* '*asm*': operand number missing after %-*letter*

The assembly uses the %O<n>/%R<n> notation but the first operand misses
the operand number, it needs to be "%O1" instead of "%O".

The stfle() function writes into lowcore memory when stfl_fac_list
is initialized with "S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list = 0". For older
compilers this triggers a lowcore exception. With newer compilers
and "-OXX" compile option the bug does not show up because
the "S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list" initialization is removed by the
compiler. The reason for thatis the incorrect "=m"
(S390_lowcore.stfl_fac_list) constraint in the stfl inline assembly.

The following shows the disassembly of the stfle() optimized code
that is inlined in the lgr_info_get() function:

is enabled.

Git commit 36409f63 "use generic RCU
page-table freeing code" introduced a tlb flushing bug. Partially revert
the above git commit and go back to s390 specific page table flush code.

For s390 the TLB can contain three types of entries, "normal" TLB
page-table entries, TLB combined region-and-segment-table (CRST) entries
and real-space entries. Linux does not use real-space entries which
leaves normal TLB entries and CRST entries. The CRST entries are
intermediate steps in the page-table translation called translation paths.
For example a 4K page access in a three-level page table setup will
create two CRST TLB entries and one page-table TLB entry. The advantage
of that approach is that a page access next to the previous one can reuse
the CRST entries and needs just a single read from memory to create the
page-table TLB entry. The disadvantage is that the TLB flushing rules are
more complicated, before any page-table may be freed the TLB needs to be
flushed.

In short: the generic RCU page-table freeing code is incorrect for the
CRST entries, in particular the check for mm_users < 2 is troublesome.

This is applicable to 3.0+ kernels.

Commit f02e8a65 ("module: Sort exported symbols") sorts symbols
placing each of them in its own elf section.  This sorting and merging
into the canonical sections are done by the linker.

Unfortunately modpost to generate Module.symvers file parses vmlinux.o
(which is not linked yet) and all modules object files (which aren't
linked yet).  These aren't sanitized by the linker yet.  That breaks
modpost that can't detect license properly for modules.

This patch makes modpost aware of the new exported symbols structure.

[ This above is a slightly corrected version of the explanation of the
  problem, copied from commit 62a26356 ("modpost: Fix modpost's

  object files, but not for vmlinux.o.  This patch fixes modpost for

The task handoff notifier leaks task_struct since it never gets freed
after the callback returns NOTIFY_OK, which means it is responsible for
doing so.

It turns out the lowmemorykiller actually doesn't need this notifier at
all.  It's used to prevent unnecessary killing by waiting for a thread
to exit as a result of lowmem_shrink(), however, it's possible to do
this in the same way the kernel oom killer works by setting TIF_MEMDIE
and avoid killing if we're still waiting for it to exit.

The kernel oom killer will already automatically set TIF_MEMDIE for
threads that are attempting to allocate memory that have a fatal signal.
The thread selected by lowmem_shrink() will have such a signal after the
lowmemorykiller sends it a SIGKILL, so this won't result in an
unnecessary use of memory reserves for the thread to exit.

This has the added benefit that we don't have to rely on
CONFIG_PROFILING to prevent needlessly killing tasks.

Add abort flag and use it to terminate processing when an exchange
is timed out or is reset. The abort flag is used in place of the
transport_generic_free_cmd function call in the reset and timeout
cases, because calling that function in that context would free
memory that was in use. The aborted flag allows the lifetime to
be managed in a more normal way, while truncating the processing.

This change eliminates a source of memory corruption which
manifested in a variety of ugly ways.

I have a new optimized x86 "strncpy_from_user()" that will use these
same helper functions for all the same reasons the name lookup code uses
them.  This is preparation for that.

This moves them into an architecture-specific header file.  It's
architecture-specific for two reasons:

 - some of the functions are likely to want architecture-specific
   implementations.  Even if the current code happens to be "generic" in
   the sense that it should work on any little-endian machine, it's
   likely that the "multiply by a big constant and shift" implementation
   is less than optimal for an architecture that has a guaranteed fast
   bit count instruction, for example.

 - I expect that if architectures like sparc want to start playing
   around with this, we'll need to abstract out a few more details (in
   particular the actual unaligned accesses).  So we're likely to have
   more architecture-specific stuff if non-x86 architectures start using
   this.

   (and if it turns out that non-x86 architectures don't start using
   this, then having it in an architecture-specific header is still the
   right thing to do, of course)

    TX queue right before returning from the transmit method.

    Besides being useless work, it makes several facilities unusable, in
    particular things like the equalizers.  Well behaved devices should
    only stop the TX queue when they really are full, and in PPP's case
    when it gets backlogged to the downstream device.
