f26d583e41 [PATCH] s390: deadlock in appldata
The system might hang when using appldata_mem with high I/O traffic and a
large number of devices.  The spinlocks bdev_lock and swaplock are acquired
via calls to si_meminfo() and si_swapinfo() from a tasklet, i.e.  interrupt
context, which can lead to a deadlock.  Replace tasklet with work queue.

595bf2aaca [PATCH] s390: in_interrupt vs. in_atomic
The condition for no context in do_exception checks for hard and soft
interrupts by using in_interrupt() but not for preemption.  This is bad for
the users of __copy_from/to_user_inatomic because the fault handler might call
schedule although the preemption count is != 0.  Use in_atomic() instead
in_interrupt().

c5c3a6d8fe [PATCH] s390: uml ptrace fixes
To make UML build and run on s390, I needed to do these two little
changes:

1) UML includes some of the subarch's (s390) headers. I had to
   change one of them with the following one-liner, to make this
   compile. AFAICS, this change doesn't break compilation of s390
   itself.

2) UML needs to intercept syscalls via ptrace to invalidate the syscall,
   read syscall's parameters and write the result with the result of
   UML's syscall processing. Also, UML needs to make sure, that the host
   does no syscall restart processing. On i386 for example, this can be
   done by writing -1 to orig_eax on the 2nd syscall interception
   (orig_eax is the syscall number, which after the interception is used
   as a "interrupt was a syscall" flag only.
   Unfortunately, s390 holds syscall number and syscall result in gpr2 and
   its "interrupt was a syscall" flag (trap) is unreachable via ptrace.
   So I changed the host to set trap to -1, if the syscall number is changed
   to an invalid value on the first syscall interception.

778959db97 [PATCH] s390: ptrace peek and poke
The special cases of peek and poke on acrs[15] and the fpc register are not
handled correctly.  A poke on acrs[15] will clobber the 4 bytes after the
access registers in the thread_info structure.  That happens to be the kernel
stack pointer.  A poke on the fpc with an invalid value is not caught by the
validity check.  On the next context switch the broken fpc value will cause a
program check in the kernel.  Improving the checks in peek and poke fixes
this.

15439d74f6 [PATCH] s390: cmm guest sender id
An arbitrary guest must not be allowed to trigger cmm actions.  Only one
specific guest namely the one that serves as the resource monitor may send cmm
messages.  Add a parameter that allows to specify the guest that may send
messages.  z/VMs resource manager has the name 'VMRMSVM' which is the default.

c9e3735359 [PATCH] s390: fix memory holes and cleanup setup_arch
The memory setup didn't take care of memory holes and this makes the memory
management think there would be more memory available than there is in
reality.  That causes the OOM killer to kill processes even if there is enough
memory left that can be written to the swap space.

The patch fixes this by using free_area_init_node with an array of memory
holes instead of free_area_init.  Further the patch cleans up the code in
setup.c by splitting setup_arch into smaller pieces.

2fd6f58ba6 [AUDIT] Don't allow ptrace to fool auditing, log arch of audited syscalls.
We were calling ptrace_notify() after auditing the syscall and arguments,
but the debugger could have _changed_ them before the syscall was actually
invoked. Reorder the calls to fix that.

While we're touching ever call to audit_syscall_entry(), we also make it
take an extra argument: the architecture of the syscall which was made,
because some architectures allow more than one type of syscall.

Also add an explicit success/failure flag to audit_syscall_exit(), for
the benefit of architectures which return that in a condition register
rather than only returning a single register.

Change type of syscall return value to 'long' not 'int'.

1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
