This is a note to let you know that I have just added a patch titled s390/lowcore: reserve 96 bytes for IRB in lowcore to the linux-3.13.y-queue branch of the 3.13.y.z extended stable tree which can be found at: http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/linux.git;a=shortlog;h=refs/heads/linux-3.13.y-queue This patch is scheduled to be released in version 3.13.11.5. If you, or anyone else, feels it should not be added to this tree, please reply to this email. For more information about the 3.13.y.z tree, see https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/Dev/ExtendedStable Thanks. -Kamal ------ From cbe22fce600179338ceacbaf7ec6982fc0e702e8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Date: Mon, 26 May 2014 21:55:08 +0200 Subject: s390/lowcore: reserve 96 bytes for IRB in lowcore commit 993072ee67aa179c48c85eb19869804e68887d86 upstream. The IRB might be 96 bytes if the extended-I/O-measurement facility is used. This feature is currently not used by Linux, but struct irb already has the emw defined. So let's make the irb in lowcore match the size of the internal data structure to be future proof. We also have to add a pad, to correctly align the paste. The bigger irb field also circumvents a bug in some QEMU versions that always write the emw field on test subchannel and therefore destroy the paste definitions of this CPU. Running under these QEMU version broke some timing functions in the VDSO and all users of these functions, e.g. some JREs.
