The kernel provided vdso functions do not get a stack frame from the
calling function and therefore may not change the stack contents, unless
they allocate space on their own.This problem was exposed with 070b7be633dc "s390/vdso: replace stck with
stcke" which writes 16 bytes instead of 8 bytes into the stack frame. These
additional 8 bytes however were indeed used by the caller (glibc) to save
data and therefore this data was corrupted by the vdso code.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

Pull audit updates from Eric Paris:
"So this change across a whole bunch of arches really solves one basic
problem. We want to audit when seccomp is killing a process. seccomp
hooks in before the audit syscall entry code. audit_syscall_entry
took as an argument the arch of the given syscall. Since the arch is
part of what makes a syscall number meaningful it's an important part
of the record, but it isn't available when seccomp shoots the
syscall...For most arch's we have a better way to get the arch (syscall_get_arch)
So the solution was two fold: Implement syscall_get_arch() everywhere
there is audit which didn't have it. Use syscall_get_arch() in the
seccomp audit code. Having syscall_get_arch() everywhere meant it was
a useless flag on the stack and we could get rid of it for the typical
syscall entry.The other changes inside the audit system aren't grand, fixed some
records that had invalid spaces. Better locking around the task comm
field. Removing some dead functions and structs. Make some things
static. Really minor stuff"* git://git.infradead.org/users/eparis/audit: (31 commits)

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"* 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu: (38 commits)

"This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in

the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
- To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the

able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
- The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.

With this patch for kdump the s390 vector registers are stored into the
prepared save areas in the old kernel and into the REGSET_VX_LOW and
REGSET_VX_HIGH ELF notes for /proc/vmcore in the new kernel.The NT_S390_VXRS_LOW note contains the lower halves of the first 16 vector
registers 0-15. The higher halves are stored in the floating point register
ELF note. The NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH contains the full vector registers 16-31.The kernel provides a save area for storing vector register in case of
machine checks. A pointer to this save are is stored in the CPU lowcore
at offset 0x11b0. This save area is also used to save the registers for
kdump. In case of a dumped crashed kdump those areas are used to extract
the registers of the production system.The vector registers for remote CPUs are stored using the "store additional
status at address" SIGP. For the dump CPU the vector registers are stored
with the VSTM instruction.With this patch also zfcpdump stores the vector registers.

Pull networking updates from David Miller:
"Most notable changes in here:1) By far the biggest accomplishment, thanks to a large range of
contributors, is the addition of multi-send for transmit. This is
the result of discussions back in Chicago, and the hard work of
several individuals.Now, when the ->ndo_start_xmit() method of a driver sees
skb->xmit_more as true, it can choose to defer the doorbell
telling the driver to start processing the new TX queue entires.skb->xmit_more means that the generic networking is guaranteed to
call the driver immediately with another SKB to send.There is logic added to the qdisc layer to dequeue multiple
packets at a time, and the handling mis-predicted offloads in
software is now done with no locks held.Finally, pktgen is extended to have a "burst" parameter that can
be used to test a multi-send implementation.Several drivers have xmit_more support: i40e, igb, ixgbe, mlx4,
virtio_netAdding support is almost trivial, so export more drivers to
support this optimization soon.I want to thank, in no particular or implied order, Jesper

driver in particular (EEE support, auto power down, etc.) from
Florian Fainelli.5) Allow raw buffers to be used for flow dissection, allowing drivers
to determine the optimal "linear pull" size for devices that DMA
into pools of pages. The objective is to get exactly the
necessary amount of headers into the linear SKB area pre-pulled,
but no more. The new interface drivers use is eth_get_headlen().

is available. Currently this works only for DEBUG_PAGE_ALLOC where
several up to 2 ^ MAX_ORDER may be invalidated at once.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

Fix calculation to decide if a 4-level kernel page table is required.
Git commit c972cc60c23f5a63 "s390/vmalloc: have separate modules area"
added the separate module area which reduces the size of the vmalloc
area but fails to take it into account for the 3 vs 4 level page table
decision.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

The call to topology_init is too late for the set_sched_topology call.
The initial scheduling domain structure has already been established
with default topology array. Use the smp_cpus_done() call to get the
s390 specific topology array registered early enough.Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # v3.16+

Make use of the load-and-add, load-and-or and load-and-and instructions
to atomically update the read-write lock without a compare-and-swap loop.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Set the write-lock bit in the out-of-line rwlock code to indicate that
a writer is waiting. Additional readers will no be able to get the lock
until at least one writer got the lock. Additional writers have to wait
for the first writer to release the lock again.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
