[PATCH] s390: lcs driver bug fixes and improvements [1/2]
Several problems occured with lcs device driver:
- device not operational anymore after cable pull/plug-in.
- unpredictable results occured, e.g. kernel panic
using cards of type QD8F.
- STOPLAN and delete multicast address command
were not proper recognized by OSA card under heavy network workload.
- channel/device error checks missing in interrupt handler.
To fix all problems at once recovery of lcs devices has been improved.
missing error checks in lcs interrupt handler has been added.
Once a hardware problem occurs lcs will recover the device now properly.

This loop that sets up the hash_table has problems.
Careful examination will show that the last time through, everything but
the first line is pointless. This is because all it does is change 'cur'

warning bells... That last time through the loop,
size += conf->strip_zone[cur].size
can index off the end of the strip_zone array. Depending on what it finds
there, it might exit the loop cleanly, or it might spin going further and
further beyond the array until it hits an unmapped address.
This patch rearranges the code so that the last, pointless, iteration of
the loop never happens. i.e. the one statement of the last loop that is
needed is moved the the end of the previous loop - or to before the loop
starts - and the loop counter starts from 1 instead of 0.

these pages at endpoints are not PG_buddy (they were zeroed out by bootmem
allocator and not part of zone). Of course the negative here is we could
waste a little memory but the positive is eliminating all the old checks
for zone boundary conditions.
SPARSEMEM won't encounter this issue because of MAX_ORDER size constraint
when SPARSEMEM is configured. ia64 VIRTUAL_MEM_MAP doesn't need the logic
either because the holes and endpoints are handled differently. This
leaves checking alloc_remap and other arches which privately allocate for
node_mem_map.

[PATCH] kbuild: check SHT_REL sections
I found that modpost can not detect section mismatch on mips and i386. On
mips64, the modpost (with r_info layout fix) can detect it. The current
modpst only checks SHT_RELA section but I suppose SHT_REL section should be
checked also. This patch does not contain r_info layout fix. I'll post an
updated r_info layout fix on next mail.
Check SHT_REL sections as like as SHT_RELA sections to detect section
mismatch.

[PATCH] s390: next_timer_interrupt overflow in stop_hz_timer
The 32 bit unsigned substraction (next - jiffies) in stop_hz_timer can
overflow if jiffies gets advanced between next_timer_interrupt and the read
under the xtime lock. The cast to a u64 then results in a large value
which causes the cpu to wait too long. Fix this by casting next and
jiffies independently to u64 before subtracting them.

[PATCH] Fix a NO_IDLE_HZ timer bug
Under certain timing conditions, a race during boot occurs where timer
ticks are being processed on remote CPUs. The remote timer ticks can
increment jiffies, and if this happens during a window when a timeout is
very close to expiring but a local tick has not yet been delivered, you can
end up with
1) No softirq pending
2) A local timer wheel which is not synced to jiffies
3) No high resolution timer active
4) A local timer which is supposed to fire before the current jiffies value.
In this circumstance, the comparison in next_timer_interrupt overflows,
because the base of the comparison for high resolution timers is jiffies,
but for the softirq timer wheel, it is relative the the current base of the
wheel (jiffies_base).

[PATCH] kprobes: bad manipulation of 2 byte opcode on x86_64
Problem:
If we put a probe onto a callq instruction and the probe is executed,
kernel panic of Bad RIP value occurs.
Root cause:
If resume_execution() found 0xff at first byte of p->ainsn.insn, it must
check the _second_ byte. But current resume_execution check _first_ byte
again.
I changed it checks second byte of p->ainsn.insn.
Kprobes on i386 don't have this problem, because the implementation is a
little bit different from x86_64.
