9cd6742197 [S390] cio: Fix reference counting for online/offline.
The current code attempts to get an extra reference count
for online devices by doing a get_device() in ccw_device_online()
and a put_device() in ccw_device_done(). However, this
- incorrectly obtains an extra reference for disconnected
  devices becoming available again (since they are already
  online)
- needs special checks for css_init_done in order to handle
  the console device
- is not obvious and
- may incorretly drop a reference count in ccw_device_done() if
  that function is called after path verification for a device
  that just became not operational.

So let's just get the reference in ccw_device_set_online() and
drop it in ccw_device_set_offline(). (Unfortunately, we still
need the special case in io_subchannel_probe().)

44a01d5ba8 [S390] s390/hvc_console: z/VM IUCV hypervisor console support
This patch introduces a new hypervisor console (HVC) back-end that provides
terminal access over the z/VM inter-user communication vehicle (IUCV).

The z/VM IUCV communication is independent of the regular tcp/ip network
and allows access even if there is no network connection between two
z/VM guest virtual machines.
The z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end helps the user to access a
z/VM guest virtual machine that lacks of network connectivity; and thus,
provides a "full-screen" terminal alternative to 3215/3270 terminal sessions.

Use the hvc_iucv=[0..8] kernel boot parameter to specify the number of
HVC terminals using a z/VM IUCV back-end.

A recent version of the s390-tools package is required to establish a
terminal connection to a z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end.

7a0b4cbc7d [S390] qdio: fix error reporting for hipersockets
Hipersocket connections can encounter temporary busy conditions.
In case of the busy bit set we retry the SIGA operation immediatelly.
If the busy condition still persists after 100 ms we fail and report
the error to the upper layer. The second stage retry logic is removed.
In case of ongoing busy conditions the upper layer needs to reset the
connection.

The reporting of a SIGA error is now done synchronously to allow the
network driver to requeue the buffers. Also no error trace is created
for the temporary SIGA errors so the error message view is not flooded.

arch_setup_additional_pages currently gets two arguments, the binary

What actually does make sense is to pass an indication if the process
uses the elf interpreter or not. The glibc code will not use anything
from the vdso if the process does not use the dynamic linker, so for
statically linked binaries the architecture backend can choose not
to map the vdso.

8f2961c39e [S390] audit: get s390 ret_from_fork in sync with other architectures
On s390 we have ret_from_fork jump not to the "do all work we
normally do on return from syscall" as on x86, ppc, etc., but to the
"do all such work except audit".  Historical reasons - the codepath
triggered when we have AUDIT process flag set is separated from the
normall one and they converge at sysc_return, which is the common
part of post-syscall work.  And does not include calling audit_syscall_exit() -
that's done in the end of sysc_tracesys path, just before that path jumps
to sysc_return.

	IOW, the child returning from fork()/clone()/vfork() doesn't
call audit_syscall_exit() at all, so no matter what we do with its
audit context, we are not going to see the audit entry.

	The fix is simple: have ret_from_fork go to the point just past
the call of sys_.... in the 'we have AUDIT flag set' path.  There we
have (64bit variant; for 31bit the situation is the same):
sysc_tracenogo:
        tm      __TI_flags+7(%r9),(_TIF_SYSCALL_TRACE|_TIF_SYSCALL_AUDIT)
        jz      sysc_return
        la      %r2,SP_PTREGS(%r15)     # load pt_regs
        larl    %r14,sysc_return        # return point is sysc_return
        jg      do_syscall_trace_exit
which is precisely what we need - check the flag, bugger off to sysc_return
if not set, otherwise call do_syscall_trace_exit() and bugger off to
sysc_return.  r9 has just been properly set by ret_from_fork itself,
so we are fine.

	Tested on s390x, seems to work fine.  WARNING: it's been about
16 years since my last contact with 3X0 assembler[1], so additional
review would be very welcome.  I don't think I've managed to screw it
up, but...

5439050f9f [S390] cpu topology: fix cpu_core_map initialization
Common code doesn't call arch_update_cpu_topology() anymore on
cpu hotplug. But our architecture backend relied on that in order to
update the cpu_core_map. For machines without cpu topology support
this leads uninitialized cpu_core_maps for later on added cpus.

To solve this just initialize the maps with cpu_possible_map, since
that will be always valid for machines without topology support.

there's a new ptrace arch level feature in .28:

  config X86_PTRACE_BTS
  bool "Branch Trace Store"

it has broken fork() handling: the old DS area gets copied over into
a new task without clearing it.

Fixes exist but they came too late:

  c5dee61: x86, bts: memory accounting
  bf53de9: x86, bts: add fork and exit handling

and are queued up for v2.6.29. This shows that the facility is still not
tested well enough to release into a stable kernel - disable it for now and
reactivate in .29. In .29 the hardware-branch-tracer will use the DS/BTS
facilities too - hopefully resulting in better code.

d519c8d9cc edac: fix edac core deadlock when removing a device
When deleting an edac device, we have to wait for its edac_dev.work to be
completed before deleting the whole edac_dev structure.  Since we have no
idea which work in current edac_poller's workqueue is the work we are
conerned about, we wait for all work in the edac_poller's workqueue to be
proceseed.  This is done via flush_cpu_workqueue() which inserts a
wq_barrier into the tail of the workqueue and then sleeping on the
completion of this wq_barrier.  The edac_poller will wake up sleepers when
it is found.

EDAC core creates only one kernel worker thread, edac_poller, to run the
works of all current edac devices.  They share the same callback function
of edac_device_workq_function(), which would grab the mutex of
device_ctls_mutex first before it checks the device.  This is exactly
where edac_poller and rmmod would have a great chance to deadlock.

In below call trace of rmmod > ... >
edac_device_del_device >
edac_device_workq_teardown > flush_workqueue > flush_cpu_workqueue,

device_ctls_mutex would have already been grabbed by
edac_device_del_device().  So, on one hand rmmod would sleep on the
completion of a wq_barrier, holding device_ctls_mutex; on the other hand
edac_poller would be blocked on the same mutex when it's running any one
of works of existing edac evices(Note, this edac_dev.work is likely to be
totally irrelevant to the one that is being removed right now)and never
would have a chance to run the work of above wq_barrier to wake rmmod up.

edac_device_workq_teardown() should not be called within the critical
region of device_ctls_mutex.  Just like is done in edac_pci_del_device()
and edac_mc_del_mc(), where edac_pci_workq_teardown() and
edac_mc_workq_teardown() are called after related mutex are released.

Moreover, an edac_dev.work should check first if it is being removed.  If
this is the case, then it should bail out immediately.  Since not all of
existing edac devices are to be removed, this "shutting flag" should be
contained to edac device being removed.  The current edac_dev.op_state can
be used to serve this purpose.

The original deadlock problem and the solution have been witnessed and
tested on actual hardware.  Without the solution, rmmod an edac driver
would result in below deadlock:

root@localhost:/root> rmmod mv64x60_edac
EDAC DEBUG: mv64x60_dma_err_remove()
EDAC DEBUG: edac_device_del_device()
EDAC DEBUG: find_edac_device_by_dev()

(hang for a moment)

20ca9b3f4c cgroups: avoid accessing uninitialized data in failure path
If cgroup_get_rootdir() failed, free_cg_links() will be called in the
failure path, but tmp_cg_links hasn't been initialized at that time.

I introduced this bug in the 2.6.27 merge window.

f00a189257 w1: fix slave selection on big-endian systems
During test of the w1-gpio driver i found that in "w1.c:679
w1_slave_found()" the device id is converted to little-endian with
"cpu_to_le64()", but its not converted back to cpu format in "w1_io.c:293
w1_reset_select_slave()".

Based on a patch created by Andreas Hummel.
