      mutex: have non-spinning mutexes on s390 by default · 36cd3c9f
      由 Heiko Carstens 提交于 
      Impact: performance regression fix for s390

The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on
virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in
mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled
away by the hypervisor.

We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the
state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by
the hypervisor.

For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390.

We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of
a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure
out if the target cpu is physically backed.

However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with
a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

      generic debug pagealloc · 6a11f75b
      由 Akinobu Mita 提交于 
      CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390.  This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().

This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

      [S390] cio: introduce notifier for boxed state · 47593bfa
      由 Sebastian Ott 提交于 
      If a ccw device did not respond in time during internal io, we set it
into boxed state. With this patch we have the following behaviour:
 * the ccw driver will get a notification if the device was online and
   goes into the boxed state
 * if the device was disconnected and got boxed nothing special is to be
   done (it will be handled in reprobing later)
 * if the device got boxed while initial sensing it will be unregistered

      generic compat_sys_ustat · 2b1c6bd7
      由 Christoph Hellwig 提交于 
      Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
currently only x86 and mips provide one.  Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
and switch all architectures over to it.  Instead of doing various
user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
it's trivial.  This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.

Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes
stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of
data writen by the syscall.
