...
While doing the checkpoint-restore in the user space one need to determine
whether various kernel objects (like mm_struct-s of file_struct-s) are
shared between tasks and restore this state.
The 2nd step can be solved by using appropriate CLONE_ flags and the
unshare syscall, while there's currently no ways for solving the 1st one.
One of the ways for checking whether two tasks share e.g. mm_struct is to
provide some mm_struct ID of a task to its proc file, but showing such
info considered to be not that good for security reasons.
Thus after some debates we end up in conclusion that using that named
'comparison' syscall might be the best candidate. So here is it --
__NR_kcmp.
It takes up to 5 arguments - the pids of the two tasks (which
characteristics should be compared), the comparison type and (in case of
comparison of files) two file descriptors.
Lookups for pids are done in the caller's PID namespace only.
At moment only x86 is supported and tested.

kill_off_processes() might miss a valid process, this is because checking

its mm via use_mm(), but other threads may still have a valid mm.
To catch this we use find_lock_task_mm(), which walks up all threads and
returns an appropriate task (with task lock held).

Pull Sparc updates from David S. Miller:
1) Remove the idiotic situation wherein Leon was a special case in all
of the TLB/cache handling code.
The worst side effect of this bogosity is that you couldn't build a
kernel with Leon support enabled (to get better build coverage), and
test boot it on a non-LEON cpu.
Leon is, in all core respects, programatically identical to the
32-bit SRMMU. Except that they put the TLB registers in a different
alternate address space location.
Through code patching (for fast paths) and run time checks, this
issue is now a thing of the past.
From Sam Ravnborg.
2) There was a mis-merge of arch/sparc/Kconfig for one of the
clockevents changes that went in, causing 32-bit sparc to start
failing to build.
I merged in your tree to get those clockevents changes (and added a
note to the merge commit) then added Stephen Rothwell's fix for the
merge error.
3) Software quad floating point emulation was not working properly on
more recent Niagara chips, because the way the situation is reported
by the cpu has changed.
Nobody noticed because gcc emits calls to software emulation
routines in glibc.

Function pat_pagerange_is_ram() scales poorly to large address
ranges, because it probes the resource tree for each page.
On a 2.6 GHz Opteron, this function consumes 34 ms for a 1 GB range.
It is called twice during untrack_pfn_vma(), slowing process
cleanup and handicapping the OOM killer.
This replacement consumes less than 1ms, under the same conditions.

Now that hopefully all cmpxchg/xchg bugs have been fixed select
HAVE_CMPXCHG_LOCAL option which uncovered a couple of bugs on s390.
The only call site which is affected seems to be within mm/vmstat.c.

For 1 and 2 byte operands for xchg and cmpxchg the old and new values
get or'ed into the larger 4 byte old value before the compare and swap
instruction gets executed. This is done without using the proper byte
mask before or'ing the values.
If the caller passed in negative old or new values these got sign
extended by the caller. Which in turn means that either the old value
never matches, or, even worse, unrelated bytes would be changed in memory.
Luckily there don't seem to be any callers around yet, since that would
have resulted in the specification exception fixed in an earlies patch.

When accessing a 1 or 2 byte memory operand we cannot use the
passed address since the compare and swap instruction only works
for 4 byte aligned memory operands.
Hence we calculate an aligned address so that compare and swap works
correctly. However we don't pass the calculated address to the inline
assembly. This results in incorrect memory accesses and in a
specification exception if used on non 4 byte aligned memory operands.
Since this didn't happen until now, there don't seem to be
too many users of cmpxchg on unaligned addresses.

The cmpxchg macros and functions are a bit different than on other
architectures. In particular the macros do not store the return
value of a __cmpxchg function call in a variable before returning the
value.
This causes compile warnings that only occur on s390 like this one:
net/ipv4/af_inet.c: In function 'build_ehash_secret':
net/ipv4/af_inet.c:241:2: warning: value computed is not used [-Wunused-value]
To get rid of these warnings use the same construct that we already use
for the xchg macro, which was introduced for the same reason.

All cmpxchg functions imply a memory barrier.
cmpxch64 did not have one for 31 bit code, so add it.

It has been a big mistage to add the capabilities attribute to the
cpus in sysfs:
First the attribute only contains the cpu capability of primary cpus,
which however is not necessarily (or better: unlikely) the type of
cpu the kernel runs on, which is typically an IFL.
In addition all information that is necessary is available in
/proc/sysinfo already. So this attribute partially duplicated
informations.
So programs should look into the sysinfo file to retrieve all
informations they are interested in.
Since with this kernel release also the powersavings cpu attributes
are removed this seems to be a good opportunity to remove another
broken interface.

If the IPL CPU is offline, currently the pcpu_delegate() function
used by smp_call_ipl_cpu() does not work because pcpu_delegate()
modifies the lowcore of the target CPU. In case of an offline
IPL CPU currently the prefix register is zero but pcpu->lowcore
still points to the old prefix page. Therefore the lowcore changes
done by pcpu_delegate() have no effect.
With this fix pcpu_delegate() now uses memcpy_absolute() and therefore
also prepares the absolute zero lowcore if the target CPU has prefix
register zero.
