s390: Use pr_warn instead of pr_warning

2016-03-07T12:12:04+00:00

Convert the uses of pr_warning to pr_warn so there are fewer uses of the old pr_warning. Miscellanea: o Align arguments o Coalesce formats Signed-off-by: Joe Perches Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: remove all usages of PSW_ADDR_INSN

2016-01-19T11:14:03+00:00

Yet another leftover from the 31 bit era. The usual operation "y = x & PSW_ADDR_INSN" with the PSW_ADDR_INSN mask is a nop for CONFIG_64BIT. Therefore remove all usages and hope the code is a bit less confusing. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand

s390: time: Provide read_boot_clock64() and read_persistent_clock64()

2015-05-22T17:36:29+00:00

As part of addressing the "y2038 problem" for in-kernel uses, this patch converts read_boot_clock() to read_boot_clock64() and read_persistent_clock() to read_persistent_clock64() using timespec64.

s390/debug: avoid function call for debug_sprintf_*

2014-12-08T08:42:29+00:00

debug_sprintf_event/exception are called even for debug events with a disabling debug level. All other functions already do the check in a wrapper function. Lets do the same here. Due to the var_args the compiler rejects to make this function inline. So let's wrap this via a macro. This patch saves around 80 ns on my z196 for a KVM round trip (we have two debug statements for entry and exit) when KVM is build as a module. The savings for built-in drivers is smaller as we then avoid the PLT overhead for a function call.

s390: convert use of typedef ctl_table to struct ctl_table

s390/time: correct use of store clock fast

2013-10-22T07:16:40+00:00

The result of the store-clock-fast (STCKF) instruction is a bit fuzzy. It can happen that the value stored on one CPU is smaller than the value stored on another CPU, although the order of the stores is the other way around. This can cause deltas of get_tod_clock() values to become negative when they should not be. We need to be more careful with store-clock-fast, this patch partially reverts git commit e4b7b4238e666682555461fa52eecd74652f36bb "time: always use stckf instead of stck if available". The get_tod_clock() function now uses the store-clock-extended (STCKE) instruction. get_tod_clock_fast() can be used if the fuzziness of store-clock-fast is acceptable e.g. for wait loops local to a CPU.

Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs

Pull vfs pile (part one) from Al Viro: "Assorted stuff - cleaning namei.c up a bit, fixing ->d_name/->d_parent locking violations, etc. The most visible changes here are death of FS_REVAL_DOT (replaced with "has ->d_weak_revalidate()") and a new helper getting from struct file to inode. Some bits of preparation to xattr method interface changes. Misc patches by various people sent this cycle *and* ocfs2 fixes from several cycles ago that should've been upstream right then.

s390/debug: Fix s390dbf lockdep problem in debug_(un)register_view()

2013-01-08T09:57:03+00:00

The debug_register/unregister_view() functions call debugfs_remove() while holding the debug_info spinlock. Because debugfs_remove() takes a mutex and therefore can sleep this is not allowed. To fix the problem we give up the debug_info lock before calling debugfs_remove(). The following shows the lockdep message: [ INFO: possible circular locking dependency detected ] ------------------------------------------------------- rmmod/4379 is trying to acquire lock: (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#2){+.+.+.}, at: [<00000000003acae2>] debugfs_remove+0x5e/0xa but task is already holding lock: (&(&rc->lock)->rlock){-.-...}, at: [<000000000010a5ae>] debug_unregister_view+0x3a/0xd which lock already depends on the new lock. -> #0 (&sb->s_type->i_mutex_key#2){+.+.+.}: [<00000000001b1644>] validate_chain+0x880/0x1154 [<00000000001b4d6c>] __lock_acquire+0x414/0xc44 [<00000000001b5c16>] lock_acquire+0xbe/0x178 [<0000000000614016>] mutex_lock_nested+0x66/0x36c [<00000000003acae2>] debugfs_remove+0x5e/0xac [<000000000010a620>] debug_unregister_view+0xac/0xd0 [<000003ff8002f140>] qeth_core_exit+0x48/0xf08 [qeth] [<00000000001c35a4>] SyS_delete_module+0x1a4/0x260 [<0000000000618134>] sysc_noemu+0x22/0x28 [<000003fffd4704da>] 0x3fffd4704da Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
