Let's get rid of another sparse false positive: drivers/s390/crypto/ap_bus.c:416:64: warning: cast truncates bits from constant value (102030405060708 becomes 5060708) So instead of using a cast let's use an and-mask.

2013-07-19s390/zcrypt: Alias for new zcrypt device driver base moduleIngo Tuchscherer
The zcrypt device driver has been split into base/bus module, api-module, card modules and message type modules. The base module has been renamed from z90crypt to ap. A module alias (with the well-known z90crypt identifier) will be introduced that enable users to use their existing way to load the zcrypt device driver.

2013-06-26s390/airq: simplify adapter interrupt codeMartin Schwidefsky
There are three users of adapter interrupts: AP, QDIO and PCI. Each registers a single adapter interrupt with independent ISCs. Define a "struct airq" with the interrupt handler, a pointer and a mask for the local summary indicator and the ISC for the adapter interrupt source. Convert the indicator array with its fixed number of adapter interrupt sources per ISE to an array of hlists. This removes the limitation to 32 adapter interrupts per ISC and allows for arbitrary memory locations for the local summary indicator. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2013-01-08s390/irq: remove split irq fields from /proc/statHeiko Carstens
Now that irq sum accounting for /proc/stat's "intr" line works again we have the oddity that the sum field (first field) contains only the sum of the second (external irqs) and third field (I/O interrupts). The reason for that is that these two fields are already sums of all other fields. So if we would sum up everything we would count every interrupt twice. This is broken since the split interrupt accounting was merged two years ago: 052ff461c8427629aee887ccc27478fc7373237c "[S390] irq: have detailed statistics for interrupt types". To fix this remove the split interrupt fields from /proc/stat's "intr" line again and only have them in /proc/interrupts. This restores the old behaviour, seems to be the only sane fix and mimics a behaviour from other architectures where /proc/interrupts also contains more than /proc/stat's "intr" line does.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless. Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly different statements and wanted to change them one after another whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened.

2010-03-30include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking ↵Tejun Heo
implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being included when building most .c files. percpu.h includes slab.h which in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies. percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed. Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

2009-12-07[S390] zcrypt: special command support for cex3 exploitationFelix Beck
Support for special command is implemented in the AP Bus in the NQAP function __ap_send. This is extended for a further parameter special. When set, the special bit, in GR0 will be set. Therefor the ap_message struct is extended for a further bit. Thus calling functions of __ap_send can use the special parameter in ap_message to give to __ap_send. Affected is in the first place ap_queue_message, which is called by the actual card driver. The second part of this support is that the card driver for the CEX3C needs to set this special bit, when an according CPRB is sent to the driver.

2009-09-22[S390] zcrypt: Do not add/remove devices in s/r callbacksFelix Beck
Devices are no longer removed or added in the suspend and resume callbacks. Instead they are marked unregistered in suspend. In the resume callback the ap_scan_bus method is scheduled. The bus scan function will remove the old device and add new ones. This way all the device handling will be done in only one function. Additionaly the case where the domain might change during suspend/resume is caught. In that case the devices qid needs to re-calculated in order of having it found by the scan method.
