1d25240fcf [MOXA]: Fix this driver properly.
Actually, proper fix of that breakage is embarrassingly simple - it's yet
another gratitious leftover include of asm/segment.h, so incremental to the
previos would be removal of that BROKEN and removal of bogus include from
mxser.c itself.

9513e5e3f5 [PATCH] s390: spinlock corner case
On s390 the lock value used for spinlocks consists of the lower 32 bits of the
PSW that holds the lock.  If this address happens to be on a four gigabyte
boundary the lock is left unlocked.  This allows other cpus to grab the same
lock and enter a lock protected code path concurrently.  In theory this can
happen if the vmalloc area for the code of a module crosses a 4 GB boundary.

b6d09449d5 [PATCH] s390: pfault interrupt race
There is a race in pfault_interrupt.  That function gets called two times for
each pfault notification.  Once with a subcode of 0 to indicate that a real
page is not available and once with a subcode of 0x80 to indicate that the
page is present again.

Since the two external interrupts can be delivered on two different cpus the
order in which the two calls are made is unpredictable.  It is possible that
the subcode 0x80 interrupt is completed before the subcode 0x00 interrupt has
done the wake_up() call.

To avoid calling wake_up() on an already removed task structure proper task
structure reference counting is needed.  Increase the reference counter in the
subcode 0x00 interrupt before setting pfault_wait to zero and return the
reference after the wake_up call.

ae6aa2ea89 [PATCH] s390: machine check handler bugs
The new machine check handler still has a few bugs.

1) The system entry time has to be stored in the machine check handler,

2) the machine check return psw may not be stored at the usual place
   because it might overwrite the return psw of the interrupted context,

3) the return address for the call to s390_handle_mcck in the i/o interrupt
   handler is not correct,

4) the system call cleanup has to take the different save area of the
   machine check handler into account,

5) the machine check handler may not call UPDATE_VTIME before
   CREATE_STACK_FRAME, and

6) the io leave path needs a critical section cleanup to make sure that the
   TIF_MCCK_PENDING bit is really checked before switching back to user space.

07bf731e4b [PATCH] uml: skas0 stubs now check system call return values
Change syscall-stub's data to include a "expected retval".

Stub now checks syscalls retval and aborts execution of syscall list, if
retval != expected retval.

run_syscall_stub prints the data of the failed syscall, using the data pointer
and retval written by the stub to the beginning of the stack.

one_syscall_stub is removed, to simplify code, because only some instructions
are saved by one_syscall_stub, no host-syscall.

Using the stub with additional data (modify_ldt via stub)
is prepared also.

This change enables SKAS0/SKAS3 to work with all combinations of /proc/mm and

Also it changes the initialization of proc_mm and ptrace_faultinfo slightly,

or PTRACE_FAULTINFO by cmdline parameter can be implemented with a setup
resetting the related variable.

09ace81c1d [PATCH] uml: add host AIO support to block driver
This adds AIO support to the ubd driver.

The driver breaks a struct request into IO requests to the host, based on the
hardware segments in the request and on any COW blocks covered by the request.

The ubd IO thread is gone, since there is now an equivalent thread in the AIO
module.

There is provision for multiple outstanding requests now.  Requests aren't
retired until all pieces of it have been completed.  The AIO requests have a
shared count, which is decremented as IO operations come in until it reaches
0.  This can be possibly moved to the request struct - haven't looked at this
yet.

08964c565b [PATCH] uml: merge duplicated page table code
There is a lot of code which is duplicated between the 2 and 3 level
implementation, with the only difference that the 3-level implementation is a
bit more generalized (instead of accessing directly pte_t.pte, it uses the
appropriate access macros).

So this code is joined together.

As obvious, a "core code nice cleanup" is not a "stability-friendly patch" so
usual care applies.

c56004901f [PATCH] uml: TLB operation batching
This adds VM op batching to skas0.  Rather than having a context switch to and
from the userspace stub for each address space change, we write a number of
operations to the stub data page and invoke a different stub which loops over
them and executes them all in one go.

The operations are stored as [ system call number, arg1, arg2, ... ] tuples.

The set is terminated by a system call number of 0.  Single operations, i.e.
page faults, are handled in the old way, since that is slightly more
efficient.

For a kernel build, a minority (~1/4) of the operations are part of a set.
These sets averaged ~100 in length, so for this quarter, the context switching
overhead is greatly reduced.

1e40cd383c [PATCH] uml: fixes performance regression in activate_mm and thus exec()
Normally, activate_mm() is called from exec(), and thus it used to be a
no-op because we use a completely new "MM context" on the host (for
instance, a new process), and so we didn't need to flush any "TLB entries"
(which for us are the set of memory mappings for the host process from the
virtual "RAM" file).

Kernel threads, instead, are usually handled in a different way.  So, when
for AIO we call use_mm(), things used to break and so Benjamin implemented
activate_mm().  However, that is only needed for AIO, and could slow down
exec() inside UML, so be smart: detect being called for AIO (via
PF_BORROWED_MM) and do the full flush only in that situation.

Comment also the caller so that people won't go breaking UML without
noticing.  I also rely on the caller's locks for testing current->flags.

0221575903 [PATCH] uml: workaround GDB problems on debugging
Apparently, GDB gets confused when we do an execvp() on ourselves.

Since it's simply done to allocate further space for command line arguments
(which we'll use to allow gathering the startup command line for guest
processes through the host), allow the user to disable that to get a
debuggable UML binary.

640aa46e25 [PATCH] uml: SYSEMU: slight cleanup and speedup
As a follow-up to "UML Support - Ptrace: adds the host SYSEMU support, for
UML and general usage" (i.e.  uml-support-* in current mm).

Avoid unconditionally jumping to work_pending and code copying, just reuse
the already existing resume_userspace path.

One interesting note, from Charles P.  Wright, suggested that the API is
improvable with no downsides for UML (except that it will have to support
yet another host API, since dropping support for the current API, for UML,
is not reasonable from users' point of view).

ab1c23c244 [PATCH] SYSEMU: fix sysaudit / singlestep interaction
Paolo 'Blaisorblade' Giarrusso <blaisorblade@yahoo.it>

This is simply an adjustment for "Ptrace - i386: fix Syscall Audit interaction
with singlestep" to work on top of SYSEMU patches, too.  On this patch, I have
some doubts: I wonder why we need to alter that way ptrace_disable().

I left the patch this way because it has been extensively tested, but I don't
understand the reason.

The current PTRACE_DETACH handling simply clears child->ptrace; actually this
is not enough because entry.S just looks at the thread_flags; actually,
do_syscall_trace checks current->ptrace but I don't think depending on that is
good, at least for performance, so I think the clearing is done elsewhere.
For instance, on PTRACE_CONT it's done, but doing PTRACE_DETACH without
PTRACE_CONT is possible (and happens when gdb crashes and one kills it
manually).
