Marcel Selhorst ebb81fdb3d [PATCH] tpm: Support for Infineon TPM
This patch provides a new device driver for the Infineon SLD 9630 TT Trusted
Platform Module (TPM 1.1b) [1] which is embedded on Intel- mainboards or in
HP/ Fujitsu-Siemens / Toshiba-Notebooks.  A nearly complete list where this
module is integrated in can be found in [2].

This kernel module acts as a communication gateway between the linux kernel
and the hardware chip and fits the TPM-specific interfaces created by IBM in
drivers/char/tpm/tpm.h

Further information about this module and a list of succesfully tested and
therefore supported hardware can be found at our project page [3].

Peter Staubach c293621bbf [PATCH] stale POSIX lock handling
I believe that there is a problem with the handling of POSIX locks, which
the attached patch should address.

The problem appears to be a race between fcntl(2) and close(2).  A
multithreaded application could close a file descriptor at the same time as
it is trying to acquire a lock using the same file descriptor.  I would
suggest that that multithreaded application is not providing the proper
synchronization for itself, but the OS should still behave correctly.

SUS3 (Single UNIX Specification Version 3, read: POSIX) indicates that when
a file descriptor is closed, that all POSIX locks on the file, owned by the
process which closed the file descriptor, should be released.

The trick here is when those locks are released.  The current code releases
all locks which exist when close is processing, but any locks in progress
are handled when the last reference to the open file is released.

There are three cases to consider.

One is the simple case, a multithreaded (mt) process has a file open and
races to close it and acquire a lock on it.  In this case, the close will
release one reference to the open file and when the fcntl is done, it will
release the other reference.  For this situation, no locks should exist on
the file when both the close and fcntl operations are done.  The current
system will handle this case because the last reference to the open file is
being released.

The second case is when the mt process has dup(2)'d the file descriptor.
The close will release one reference to the file and the fcntl, when done,
will release another, but there will still be at least one more reference
to the open file.  One could argue that the existence of a lock on the file
after the close has completed is okay, because it was acquired after the
close operation and there is still a way for the application to release the
lock on the file, using an existing file descriptor.

The third case is when the mt process has forked, after opening the file
and either before or after becoming an mt process.  In this case, each
process would hold a reference to the open file.  For each process, this
degenerates to first case above.  However, the lock continues to exist
until both processes have released their references to the open file.  This
lock could block other lock requests.

The changes to release the lock when the last reference to the open file
aren't quite right because they would allow the lock to exist as long as
there was a reference to the open file.  This is too long.

The new proposed solution is to add support in the fcntl code path to
detect a race with close and then to release the lock which was just
acquired when such as race is detected.  This causes locks to be released
in a timely fashion and for the system to conform to the POSIX semantic
specification.

This was tested by instrumenting a kernel to detect the handling locks and
then running a program which generates case #3 above.  A dangling lock
could be reliably generated.  When the changes to detect the close/fcntl
race were added, a dangling lock could no longer be generated.

The FBA discipline does not use retries for failed requests.  A request fails
after the first unsuccessful start attempt.  There are some rare conditions
(e.g.  CIO path recovery) in which the start of an i/o on a fba device can
fail.  A tiny amount of retries is therefore reasonable.

Cornelia Huck 1d3ac7aadb [PATCH] s390: debug data for ifcc/ccc
Fix debug data in case of an interface-control or channel-control check: don't
log the not yet accumulated interrupt-response-block, but the one we just
received.

Heiko Carstens 99b2d8df1d [PATCH] s390: external call performance
The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other CPUs.  When
running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get delivered immediately but
within a fixed polling invervall.  This can lead to delays where the system
appears to do nothing.  Replace the SIGP external call order with the SIGP
emergency call order since this one gets delivered immediately.

The atomic64 primitives are supposed to have 64-bit parameters instead of int.

Martin Schwidefsky afff7e2b3b [PATCH] s390: find_next_{zero}_bit fixes
The find_next_{zero}_bit primitives on s390* should never return a bit number
bigger then the bit field size.  In the case of a bitfield that doesn't end on
a word boundary, an offset that makes the search start at the last word of the
bit field and the last word doesn't contain any zero/one bits the search is
continued with a call to find_first_bit with a negative size.  The search
normally ends pretty quickly because the words following the bit field contain
a mix of zeros and ones.  But the bit number that is returned in this case is
too big.

To fix this and additional if to check for this case is needed.  To make the
code easier to read I removed the assembler parts from the
find_next_{zero}_bit functions, the C-ified code is as good.

Martin Schwidefsky 951f22d5b1 [PATCH] s390: spin lock retry
Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax().  Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.

The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive.  For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer.  The default retry count is
1000.
