31cb4bd31a [S390] Hypervisor filesystem (s390_hypfs) for z/VM
This is an extension of the already existing hypfs for LPAR (DIAG 204).
Data returned by DIAG 2fc is exported using the s390_hypfs when Linux
is running under z/VM. Information about cpus and memory is provided.
Data is put into different virtual files which can be accessed from user
space. All values are represented as ASCII strings

cced1dd42e [S390] Add crypto support for 3592 tape devices
3592 tape devices are able to write data encrpyted on tape mediums.
This z/Linux device driver support includes the following functions:
 * ioctl to switch on/off encryption
 * ioctl to query encryption status of drive
 * ioctls to set and query key encrypting keys (kekls)
 * long busy interrupt handling

1b27829489 [S390] Support for s390 Pseudo Random Number Generator
Starting with the z9 the CPU Cryptographic Assist Facility comes with
an integrated Pseudo Random Number Generator. The generator creates
random numbers by an algorithm similar to the ANSI X9.17 standard.
The pseudo-random numbers can be accessed via a character device driver
node called /dev/prandom. Similar to /dev/urandom any amount of bytes
can be read from the device without blocking.

d54853ef8c [S390] ETR support.
This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time
reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator
signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep
the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability
two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates
for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check
that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details
how to get the clock back in sync see the code below.

c1821c2e97 [S390] noexec protection
This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does
not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a
different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing
mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data.

As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate
page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses
(storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is
used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the
data addresses.
The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer
in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that
contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really
private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU
list).
Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into
both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of
a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the
data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a
page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV
with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn)
and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the
kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return
mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the
exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored
behind the signal stack frame.

This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space
mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing
modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works
for user space.
After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs
instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new
mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows
to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the
page tables need to be walked manually.

e3c699b38e [S390] dasd: fix bug in dasd initialization cleanup
The initialization of the dasd_eer code is one of the last steps of the
dasd driver initialization. When initialization fails in one of the
earlier steps, the dasd_exit function is called to clean up what has been
done so far. So the dasd_eer_exit function may be called, although the
dasd_eer_init function wasn't called before and dasd_eer_exit tries to
unregister a misc device that wasn't registered, which results in a BUG.

Make sure that dasd_eer_exit can be called without initialization. Use a
dynamically allocated struct miscdevice instead of a static one, so we
only try to unregister the device if it exists and was actually registered.

Change the bounce buffer logic of cpcmd. diag8 needs _real_ memory below
2GB. Therefore vmalloced data does not work. As the data might cross a

virt_to_page only in the check for a bounce buffer.

There was a redundant check for response==NULL. response < 2GB contains
this check as well.

I also removed the rlen==0 check, since rlen=0 and response!=NULL would
be a caller bug and response==NULL is already checked.

Lock odering must be preserved in order to prevent ABBA

to grab the glock after having started a transaction and thus is holding
the log lock. This is inconsistent with other code paths in
gfs that grab the resource group glock prior to staring
a tranactions.

One problem with this fix is that the resource group
lock is always grabbed now even if the inode still has
ref count and can not be marked for unlink.

Since fs/dlm/lockspace.c and fs/gfs2/locking/dlm/sysfs.c use
kernel_subsys, they should either DEPEND on it or SELECT it.

ee32e4f3d3 [GFS2] make lock_dlm drop_count tunable in sysfs
We want to be able to change or disable the default drop_count (number at
which the dlm asks gfs to limit the the number of locks it's holding).
Add it to the collection of sysfs tunables for an fs.

2f708649ba [GFS2] increase default lock limit
Increase the number of locks at which point the dlm begins asking gfs to
reduce its lock usage.  The default value is largely arbitrary, but the
current value of 50,000 ends up limiting performance unnecessarily for too
many users.

8bd9572769 [GFS2] Fix list corruption in lops.c
The patch below appears to fix the list corruption that we are seeing on
occasion. Although the transaction structure is private to a single
thread, when the queued structures are dismantled during an in-core
commit, its possible for a different thread to be trying to add the same
structure to another, new, transaction at the same time.

To avoid this, this patch takes the log spinlock during this operation.
