This patch moves common functions from kprobes.c to probes.c. Thus its possible for uprobes to use them without enabling kprobes. Signed-off-by:

Set the write-lock bit in the out-of-line rwlock code to indicate that a writer is waiting. Additional readers will no be able to get the lock until at least one writer got the lock. Additional writers have to wait for the first writer to release the lock again. Signed-off-by: -

If the vmemmap array gets filled with large pages we allocate those pages with vmemmap_alloc_block(), which returns cleared pages. Only for single 4k pages we call our own vmem_alloc_pages() which does not return cleared pages. However we can also call vmemmap_alloc_block() to allocate the 4k pages. This way we can also make sure the vmemmap array is cleared after its population. Therefore we can remove the memset at the end of the function which would clear the vmmemmap array a second time on machines which do support EDAT1. On very large configurations this can save us several seconds. Signed-off-by:

Add an owner field to the arch_rwlock_t to be able to pass the timeslice of a virtual CPU with diagnose 0x9c to the lock owner in case the rwlock is write-locked. The undirected yield in case the rwlock is acquired writable but the lock is read-locked is removed. Signed-off-by: -

The event type masks can change asynchronously. These changes are reported by SCLP to the OS by state-change events which are retrieved with the read event data command. The SCLP driver has a request queue, there is a window where the read event data request has not completed yet but the SCLP console drivers are trying to queue output requests. As the masks are not updated yet the requests are discarded. The simplest fix is to queue the console requests independent of the event type masks and rely on SCLP to return with an error code if a specific event type is not available. Signed-off-by: -

Use a memory barrier + store sequence instead of a load + compare and swap sequence to unlock a spinlock and an rw lock. For the spinlock case this saves us two memory reads and a not needed cpu serialization after the compare and swap instruction stored the new value. The kernel size (performance_defconfig) gets reduced by ~14k. Average execution time of a tight inlined spin_unlock loop drops from 5.8ns to 0.7ns on a zEC12 machine. An artificial stress test case where several counters are protected with a single spinlock and which are only incremented while holding the spinlock shows ~30% improvement on a 4 cpu machine.

Reduce the number of executed instructions within the mcount block if function tracing is enabled. We achieve that by using a non-standard C function call ABI. Since the called function is also written in assembler this is not a problem. This also allows to replace the unconditional store at the beginning of the mcount block with a larl instruction, which doesn't touch memory. In theory we could also patch the first instruction of the mcount block to enable and disable function tracing. However this would break kprobes. This could be fixed with implementing the "kprobes_on_ftrace" feature; however keeping the odd jprobes working seems not to be possible without a lot of code churn. Therefore keep the code easy and simply accept one wasted 1-cycle "larl" instruction per function prologue. Signed-off-by:

We have too many combinations for function tracing. Lets simply stick to the most advanced option, so we don't have to care of other combinations. This means we always select DYNAMIC_FTRACE if FUNCTION_TRACER is selected. In the s390 Makefile also remove CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS since that functionality got moved to architecture independent code in the meantime. Signed-off-by:

This code is based on a patch from Vojtech Pavlik. http://marc.info/?l=linux-s390&m=140438885114413&w=2 The actual implementation now differs significantly: Instead of adding a second function "ftrace_regs_caller" which would be nearly identical to the existing ftrace_caller function, the current ftrace_caller function is now an alias to ftrace_regs_caller and always passes the needed pt_regs structure and function_trace_op parameters unconditionally. Besides that also use asm offsets to correctly allocate and access the new struct pt_regs on the stack. While at it we can make use of new instruction to get rid of some indirect loads if compiled for new machines. The passed struct pt_regs can be changed by the called function and it's new contents will replace the current contents. Note: to change the return address the embedded psw member of the pt_regs structure must be changed. The psw member is right now incomplete, since the mask part is missing. For all current use cases this should be sufficent. Providing and restoring a sane mask would mean we need to add an epsw/lpswe pair to the mcount code. Only these two instruction would cost us ~120 cycles which currently seems not necessary.

When the function graph tracer is disabled we can skip three additional instructions. So let's just do this. So if function tracing is enabled but function graph tracing is runtime disabled, we get away with a single unconditional branch. Signed-off-by:

Currently the march flag gets only passed to C files, but not to assembler files. This means that we can't add new instructions like e.g. aghik to asm files, since the assembler doesn't know of the new instructions if the appropriate march flag isn't specified. So also pass the march flag when compiling assembler files as well. Signed-off-by:

John W. Linville says: ==================== pull request: wireless 2014-09-05 Please pull this batch of fixes intended for the 3.17 stream... For the mac80211 bits, Johannes says: "Here are a few fixes for mac80211. One has been discussed for a while and adds a terminating NUL-byte to the alpha2 sent to userspace, which shouldn't be necessary but since many places treat it as a string we couldn't move to just sending two bytes. In addition to that, we have two VLAN fixes from Felix, a mesh fix, a fix for the recently introduced RX aggregation offload, a revert for a broken patch (that luckily didn't really cause any harm) and a small fix for alignment in debugfs." For the iwlwifi bits, Emmanuel says: "I revert a patch that disabled CTS to self in dvm because users reported issues. The revert is CCed to stable since the offending patch was sent to stable too. I also bump the firmware API versions since a new firmware is coming up. On top of that, Marcel fixes a bug I introduced while fixing a bug in our Kconfig file."

It is possible that the interface is already gone after joining the list of anycast on this interface as we don't hold a refcount for the device, in this case we are safe to ignore the error. What's more important, for API compatibility we should not change this behavior for applications even if it were correct.
