If oprofilefs_ulong_from_user() is called with count equals
zero, *val remains unchanged. Depending on the implementation it
might be uninitialized.Change oprofilefs_ulong_from_user()'s interface to return count
on success. Thus, we are able to return early if count equals
zero which avoids using *val uninitialized. Fixing all users of
oprofilefs_ulong_ from_user().This follows write syscall implementation when count is zero:
"If count is zero ... [and if] no errors are detected, 0 will be
returned without causing any other effect." (man 2 write)Reported-By: Mike Waychison

git commit 20b40a794baf3b4b "signal race with restarting system calls"
added code to the poke_user/poke_user_compat to reset the system call
restart information in the thread-info if the PSW address is changed.
The purpose of that change has been to workaround old gdbs that do
not know about the REGSET_SYSTEM_CALL. It turned out that this is not
a good idea, it makes the behaviour of the debuggee dependent on the
order of specific ptrace call, e.g. the REGSET_SYSTEM_CALL register
set needs to be written last. And the workaround does not really fix
old gdbs, inferior calls on interrupted restarting system calls do not
work either way.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

The last breaking event address is a read-only value, the regset misses the
.set function. If a PTRACE_SETREGSET is done for NT_S390_LAST_BREAK we
get an oops due to a branch to zero:Kernel BUG at 0000000000000002 verbose debug info unavailable

This patch makes sure we don't underindicate _PAGE_CHANGED in case
we have a race between an operation that changes the page and this
code path that hits us between page_get_storage_key and
page_set_storage_key. Note that we still have a potential
underindication on _PAGE_REFERENCED in the unlikely event that
the page was changed but not referenced _and_ someone references
the page in the race window. That's not considered to be a problem.Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte

The TIF_SYSCALL bit needs to be cleared if the debugger changes the state

Otherwise the system call will be restarted although the debugger set up

KVM on s390 always had a sync mmu. Any mapping change in userspace

There is a potential host deadlock in the tprot intercept handling.
We must not hold the mmap semaphore while resolving the guest
address. If userspace is remapping, then the memory detection in
the guest is broken anyway so we can safely separate the
address translation from walking the vmas.Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger

SIGP sense running may cause an intercept on higher level
virtualization, so handle it by checking the CPUSTAT_RUNNING flag.Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck
Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte
Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity -
CPUSTAT_RUNNING was implemented signifying that a vcpu is not stopped.
This is not, however, what the architecture says: RUNNING should be
set when the host is acting on the behalf of the guest operating
system.CPUSTAT_RUNNING has been changed to be set in kvm_arch_vcpu_load()
and to be unset in kvm_arch_vcpu_put().For signifying stopped state of a vcpu, a host-controlled bit has
been used and is set/unset basically on the reverse as the old
CPUSTAT_RUNNING bit (including pushing it down into stop handling
proper in handle_stop()).Cc: stable@kernel.org

'readelf -n' on the s390 vmlinux file generates lots of warnings about
corrupt notes. The reason is that the 'NOTE' program header has incorrect
file and memory sizes. The problem is that the section following the
NOTES section do not switch to a different phdr and they get added to
the NOTE program section. Add a dummy entry to the linker script that
switches to the data phdr before the start of the RODATA section.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Currently it can happen that the pre-allocated ELF header contains a wrong
memory map which would result in errors when copying /proc/vmcore.
