tty: hvc_xen: hide xen_console_remove when unused

2018-03-04T15:28:30Z

[ Upstream commit e36ae3439936e13c33f5841c7c2c1a9875acbb6d ] xencons_disconnect_backend() is only called from xen_console_remove(), which is conditionally compiled, so we get a harmless warning when CONFIG_HVC_XEN_FRONTEND is unset: hvc/hvc_xen.c:350:12: error: 'xen_console_remove' defined but not used [-Werror=unused-function] This moves the function down into the same #ifdef section to silence the warning.

xen/events: don't bind non-percpu VIRQs with percpu chip

2015-05-19T18:55:36Z

A non-percpu VIRQ (e.g., VIRQ_CONSOLE) may be freed on a different VCPU than it is bound to. This can result in a race between handle_percpu_irq() and removing the action in __free_irq() because handle_percpu_irq() does not take desc->lock. The interrupt handler sees a NULL action and oopses. Only use the percpu chip/handler for per-CPU VIRQs (like VIRQ_TIMER). # cat /proc/interrupts | grep virq 40: 87246 0 xen-percpu-virq timer0 44: 0 0 xen-percpu-virq debug0 47: 0 20995 xen-percpu-virq timer1 51: 0 0 xen-percpu-virq debug1 69: 0 0 xen-dyn-virq xen-pcpu 74: 0 0 xen-dyn-virq mce 75: 29 0 xen-dyn-virq hvc_console Signed-off-by: David Vrabel Cc:

After a resume the hypervisor/tools may change console event channel number. We should re-query it. Signed-off-by: Boris Ostrovsky Cc: Signed-off-by: David Vrabel

tty/hvc_opal: constify of_device_id array

s390/hvc_iucv: add simple wildcard matches to the iucv allow filter

2015-01-22T11:16:56Z

Introduce a wildcard character to filter a range of z/VM user IDs with a single filter entry. Only the leading portion up to the wildcard of an filter entry contributes to the match. This reduces the filter size and avoids configuration updates when deploying new terminal server instances. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Merge tag 'driver-core-3.19-rc1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/driver-core

2014-12-15T00:10:09Z

Pull driver core update from Greg KH: "Here's the set of driver core patches for 3.19-rc1. They are dominated by the removal of the .owner field in platform drivers. They touch a lot of files, but they are "simple" changes, just removing a line in a structure. Other than that, a few minor driver core and debugfs changes. There are some ath9k patches coming in through this tree that have been acked by the wireless maintainers as they relied on the debugfs changes.

tty-hvsi_lib: Deletion of an unnecessary check before the function call "tty_kref_put"

2014-11-27T03:35:49Z

The tty_kref_put() function tests whether its argument is NULL and then returns immediately. Thus the test around the call is not needed. This issue was detected by using the Coccinelle software. Signed-off-by: Markus Elfring Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

Pull powerpc updates from Michael Ellerman: "Here's a first pull request for powerpc updates for 3.18. The bulk of the additions are for the "cxl" driver, for IBM's Coherent Accelerator Processor Interface (CAPI). Most of it's in drivers/misc, which Greg & Arnd maintain, Greg said he was happy for us to take it through our tree. There's the usual minor cleanups and fixes, including a bit of noise in drivers from some of those. A bunch of updates to our EEH code, which has been getting more testing. Several nice speedups from Anton, including 20% in clear_page(). And a bunch of updates for freescale from Scott" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mpe/linux: (130 commits) cxl: Fix afu_read() not doing finish_wait() on signal or non-blocking cxl: Add documentation for userspace APIs cxl: Add driver to Kbuild and Makefiles cxl: Add userspace header file cxl: Driver code for powernv PCIe based cards for userspace access cxl: Add base builtin support powerpc/mm: Add hooks for cxl powerpc/opal: Add PHB to cxl mode call powerpc/mm: Add new hash_page_mm() powerpc/powerpc: Add new PCIe functions for allocating cxl interrupts cxl: Add new header for call backs and structs powerpc/powernv: Split out set MSI IRQ chip code powerpc/mm: Export mmu_kernel_ssize and mmu_linear_psize powerpc/msi: Improve IRQ bitmap allocator powerpc/cell: Make spu_flush_all_slbs() generic powerpc/cell: Move data segment faulting code out of cell platform powerpc/cell: Move spu_handle_mm_fault() out of cell platform powerpc/pseries: Use new defines when calling H_SET_MODE powerpc: Update contact info in Documentation files powerpc/perf/hv-24x7: Simplify catalog_read() ...
