Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky: "This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in regard to the s390 architecture. It is a bit bigger than usual, mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches. The interesting bits are: - Quite a bit of work on the tracing front. Uprobes is enabled and 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 IPTE range facility is added. - The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be able to use the interlocked-access instructions. - The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added. - The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process. - Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration. - The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used. - Bug fixes" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (39 commits) s390/ftrace: simplify enabling/disabling of ftrace_graph_caller s390/ftrace: remove 31 bit ftrace support s390/kdump: add support for vector extension s390/disassembler: add vector instructions s390: add support for vector extension s390/zcrypt: Toleration of new crypto hardware s390/idle: consolidate idle functions and definitions s390/nohz: use a per-cpu flag for arch_needs_cpu s390/vtime: do not reset idle data on CPU hotplug s390/dasd: add support for control unit initiated reconfiguration s390/dasd: fix infinite loop during format s390/mm: make use of ipte range facility s390/setup: correct 4-level kernel page table detection s390/topology: call set_sched_topology early s390/uprobes: architecture backend for uprobes s390/uprobes: common library for kprobes and uprobes s390/rwlock: use the interlocked-access facility 1 instructions s390/rwlock: improve writer fairness s390/rwlock: remove interrupt-enabling rwlock variant. s390/mm: remove change bit override support ...

2014-10-14checkpatch: look for common misspellingsKees Cook2-1/+1085
Check for misspellings, based on Debian's lintian list. Several false positives were removed, and several additional words added that were common in the kernel: backword backwords invalide valide recieves singed unsinged While going back and fixing existing spelling mistakes isn't a high priority, it'd be nice to try to catch them before they hit the tree.

2014-10-14checkpatch: warn on macros with flow control statementsJoe Perches1-0/+18
Macros with flow control statements (goto and return) are not very nice to read as any flow movement is unexpected. Try to highlight them and emit a warning on their definition. Avoid warning on macros that use argument concatenation as those macros commonly create another function where the concatenation is used in the function name definition like: #define FOO_FUNC(name, rtn_type) \ rtn_type func##name(arg1, ...) \ { \ rtn_type rtn; \ [code...] \ return rtn; \ } Signed-off-by: Joe Perches <joe@perches.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@linux-foundation.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@linux-foundation.org>

This is the fix for a long-standing cpuset bug which existed from 2009. cpuset makes use of PF_SPREAD_{PAGE|SLAB} flags to modify the task's memory allocation behavior according to the settings of the cpuset it belongs to; unfortunately, when those flags have to be changed, cpuset did so directly even whlie the target task is running, which is obviously racy as task->flags may be modified by the task itself at any time.

2014-08-29checkpatch: relax check for length of git commit IDsJoe Perches1-2/+2
Checkpatch currently warns if a git commit ID (in the changelog, usually) is less than 12 characters or more than 16. The "more than 16" is excessive. Change the check so we accept IDs from 12 to 40 chars in length.

2014-08-27kbuild: handle module compression while running 'make modules_install'.Bertrand Jacquin1-1/+2
Since module-init-tools (gzip) and kmod (gzip and xz) support compressed modules, it could be useful to include a support for compressing modules right after having them installed. Doing this in kbuild instead of per distro can permit to make this kind of usage more generic. This patch add a Kconfig entry to "Enable loadable module support" menu and let you choose to compress using gzip (default) or xz. Both gzip and xz does not used any extra -[1-9] option since Andi Kleen and Rusty Russell prove no gain is made using them. gzip is called with -n argument to avoid storing original filename inside compressed file, that way we can save some more bytes. On a v3.16 kernel, 'make allmodconfig' generated 4680 modules for a total of 378MB (no strip, no sign, no compress), the following table shows observed disk space gain based on the allmodconfig .config : | time | +-------------+-----------------+ | manual .ko | make | size | percent | compression | modules_install | | gain +-------------+-----------------+------+-------- - | | 18.61s | 378M | GZIP | 3m16s | 3m37s | 102M | 73.41% XZ | 5m22s | 5m39s | 77M | 79.83% The gain for restricted environnement seems to be interesting while uncompress can be time consuming but happens only while loading a module, that is generally done only once. This is fully compatible with signed modules while the signed module is compressed. module-init-tools or kmod handles decompression and provide to other layer the uncompressed but signed payload.

Avoid the variable length array (vla), just use PATH_MAX instead. This not only makes this code clang friedly, it also leads to a code size reduction: text data bss dec hex filename 51765 2224 12416 66405 10365 scripts/mod/modpost.old 51677 2224 12416 66317 1030d scripts/mod/modpost.new Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

Internally used symbols of modpost don't need to be externally visible; make them static. Also constify the string arrays so they resist in the r/o section instead of being runtime writable. Those changes lead to a small size reduction as can be seen below: text data bss dec hex filename 51381 2640 12416 66437 10385 scripts/mod/modpost.old 51765 2224 12416 66405 10365 scripts/mod/modpost.new Signed-off-by: Mathias Krause <minipli@googlemail.com> Signed-off-by: Rusty Russell <rusty@rustcorp.com.au>

2014-08-26builddeb: put the dbg files into the correct directoryMichal Marek1-12/+10
Since the conversion of objtree to use relative pathnames (commit 7e1c04779e, "kbuild: Use relative path for $(objtree)"), the debug info files have been ending up in /debian/dbgtmp/ in the regular linux-image package instead of the debug files package.

2014-08-22kconfig: nconfig: fix multi-byte UTF handlingBrian Norris1-1/+2
Currently, Kconfig descriptions that use multi-byte UTF-8 characters (such as MTD_NAND_CAFE) will have their menu entries dropped from the 'make nconfig' ncurses menu, and all subsequent entries in the same window will be omitted. This seems to be due to the ncurses 'menu' library, which does not traditionally handle UTF-8 >8-bit characters properly. The ncursesw library ('w' is for "wide") is written to handle these UTF-8 characters, and is practically a drop-in replacement at the source level. Use it by default, if available.

The emacs --regex for DEFINE_HASHTABLE produced a warning because of an unmatched '\('. Further, the whole entry did not work, because the regex needs to match from the beginning of a line, including keywords like 'static'. Finally, '\w' should not be used, because it stops at underscores which are often part of variable names in C, resulting in wrong entries in the tags file.
