The reipl device information is passed from the kernel to zfcpdump
using a pointer in the lowcore (0xe00) that points to the reipl
information Currently if that pointer is not zero, we copy the reipl
information. If the pointer is not initialized and points outside
the accessible memory, it can happen that the memory copy fails.
In that case we currently stop the initialization of zcore which leads
to a failing kernel dump. The correct behavior is to disable the reipl
after dump and continue with zcore intialization.

Commit "timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp" (0696b711e)
introduced the new parameter "mult" to update_vsyscall(). This parameter
contains the internal NTP adjusted clock multiplier.
The s390x vdso did not use this adjusted multiplier. Instead, it used
the constant clock multiplier for gettimeofday() and clock_gettime()
variants. This may result in observable time warps as explained in
commit 0696b711e.
Make the NTP adjusted clock multiplier available to the s390x vdso
implementation and use it for time calculations.

The virtio balloon driver can dig into the reservation pools of the OS
to satisfy a balloon request. This is not advisable and other balloon
drivers (drivers/xen/balloon.c) avoid this as well.
The patch also adds changes to avoid printing a warning if allocation
fails, since we retry after sometime anyway.

When the dt3155 driver is built-in (not as a loadable module),
these build errors happen:

so remove the #ifdef MODULE check since it's not needed. Also remove
the CONFIG_PCI check since the Kconfig file already requires that.

There is a typo here. We should be testing "*dentry" instead of
"dentry". If "*dentry" is an ERR_PTR, it gets dereferenced in either

creds_are_invalid() reads both cred->usage and cred->subscribers and then
compares them to make sure the number of processes subscribed to a cred struct
never exceeds the refcount of that cred struct.
The problem is that this can cause a race with both copy_creds() and
exit_creds() as the two counters, whilst they are of atomic_t type, are only
atomic with respect to themselves, and not atomic with respect to each other.
This means that if creds_are_invalid() can read the values on one CPU whilst
they're being modified on another CPU, and so can observe an evolving state in
which the subscribers count now is greater than the usage count a moment
before.
Switching the order in which the counts are read cannot help, so the thing to
do is to remove that particular check.
I had considered rechecking the values to see if they're in flux if the test
fails, but I can't guarantee they won't appear the same, even if they've
changed several times in the meantime.
Note that this can only happen if CONFIG_DEBUG_CREDENTIALS is enabled.
The problem is only likely to occur with multithreaded programs, and can be
tested by the tst-eintr1 program from glibc's "make check". The symptoms look
like:
CRED: Invalid credentials
CRED: At include/linux/cred.h:240
CRED: Specified credentials: ffff88003dda5878 [real][eff]
CRED: ->magic=43736564, put_addr=(null)

CRED: ->*gid = { 0,0,0,0 }
CRED: ->security is ffff88003d72f538
CRED: ->security {359, 359}

Note the ->usage=766 and subscr=766. The values appear the same because
they've been re-read since the check was made.
