s390/memory hotplug: prevent offline of active memory increments

2013-05-08T03:08:18+00:00

commit 94c163663fc1dcfc067a5fb3cc1446b9469975ce upstream.

In case a machine supports memory hotplug all active memory increments
present at IPL time have been initialized with a "usecount" of 1.
This is wrong if the memory increment size is larger than the memory
section size of the memory hotplug code. If that is the case the
usecount must be initialized with the number of memory sections that
fit into one memory increment.
Otherwise it is possible to put a memory increment into standby state
even if there are still active sections.
Afterwards addressing exceptions might happen which cause the kernel
to panic.
However even worse, if a memory increment was put into standby state
and afterwards into active state again, it's contents would have been
zeroed, leading to memory corruption.

This was only an issue for machines that support standby memory and
have at least 256GB memory.

This is broken since commit fdb1bb15 "[S390] sclp/memory hotplug: fix
initial usecount of increments".

KVM: s390: Handle hosts not supporting s390-virtio.

2013-02-28T13:38:31+00:00

commit 55c171a6d90dc0574021f9c836127cfd1a7d2e30 upstream.

Running under a kvm host does not necessarily imply the presence of
a page mapped above the main memory with the virtio information;
however, the code includes a hard coded access to that page.

Instead, check for the presence of the page and exit gracefully
before we hit an addressing exception if it does not exist.

s390/chsc: fix SEI usage

2013-01-16T14:57:54+00:00

cbc0dd1 "s390/pci: CHSC PCI support for error and availability events"
introduced a new SEI notification type as part of pci support.
The way SEI was called with nt2 and nt0 consecutive broke the nt0
stuff used for channel subsystem notifications.

The reason why this was broken with the mentioned patch is that you
cannot selectively disable type 0 notifications (so even when asked
for type 2 only, type 0 could be presented).

The way to do it is to tell SEI which types of notification you can
process and -this is the important part- look at the SEI result which
notification type you actually received.

s390/3215: partially revert tty close handling fix

2013-01-08T09:57:08+00:00

Partially revert ae289dc1f "s390/3215: fix tty close handling", since this
leads sometimes to hanging agetty processes and therefore systems that get
stuck while starting.

This was magically fixed (bisected) by a common code patch from Alan Cox:
36b3c070 "tty: Move the handling of the tty release logic", however it was
unrelated.

Since the removed code worked for a decade, nobody knows anymore why it was
in there in the first place and debugging the observed hang is non-trivial
(at least for me :) ), let's just re-add the removed code before we see
other side effects.

s390/irq: remove split irq fields from /proc/stat

2013-01-08T09:57:07+00:00

Now that irq sum accounting for /proc/stat's "intr" line works again we
have the oddity that the sum field (first field) contains only the sum
of the second (external irqs) and third field (I/O interrupts).
The reason for that is that these two fields are already sums of all other
fields. So if we would sum up everything we would count every interrupt
twice.
This is broken since the split interrupt accounting was merged two years
ago: 052ff461c8427629aee887ccc27478fc7373237c "[S390] irq: have detailed
statistics for interrupt types".
To fix this remove the split interrupt fields from /proc/stat's "intr"
line again and only have them in /proc/interrupts.

This restores the old behaviour, seems to be the only sane fix and mimics
a behaviour from other architectures where /proc/interrupts also contains
more than /proc/stat's "intr" line does.

s390/irq: enable irq sum accounting for /proc/stat again

2013-01-08T09:57:06+00:00

For more than two years, since f2c66cd8eeddedb440f33bc0f5cec1ed7ae376cb
"/proc/stat: scalability of irq num per cpu" the output of /proc/stat is
broken.
The first field in the "intr" line should contain the sum of all interrupts,
however since the above mentioned change it is always zero.

The reason for that is that a per cpu irq sum variable had been introduced
which got incremented when calling kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu(). However
on s390 we directly incremented only the per cpu per irq counter by accessing
the array element via kstat_cpu(smp_processor_id()).irqs[...].
So fix this and use the kstat_incr_irqs_this_cpu() wrapper which increments
both: the per cpu per irq counter and the per cpu irq sum counter.

s390/qdio: rename the misleading PCI flag of qdio devices

2012-12-11T13:52:49+00:00

For each detected qdio device a line like to following is printed:
qdio: 0.0.4102 OSA on SC 1045 using AI:1 QEBSM:0 PCI:1 TDD:1 SIGA: W AP

The PCI flag is misleading as this stands for "program controlled interrupt".
Rename it to PRI "program requested interrupt" which is more accurate and
does not interfere with another popular piece of technology.

Leave the pci string in the code since changing that would result in a huge
patch.
