From: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> The sysc_restore_trace_psw and io_restore_trace_psw storage locations are created in the .text section. When creating and IPLing from a named saved system (NSS), writing to these locations causes a protection exception (because the .text section is mapped as shared read-only in the NSS). To permit write access, move the storage locations into the .data section. The problem occurs only when CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS is set. The git commmit that has introduced these variables is: 411788ea7fca01ee803af8225ac35807b4d02050 Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@xxxxxxxxxx> --- arch/s390/kernel/entry.S | 16 ++++++++++++++-- arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S | 4 ++++ 2 files changed, 18 insertions(+), 2 deletions(-) Index: quilt-2.6/arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S =================================================================== --- quilt-2.6.orig/arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S +++ quilt-2.6/arch/s390/kernel/entry64.S @@ -284,10 +284,12 @@ sysc_leave: sysc_done: #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS + .section .data,"aw",@progbits .align 8 .globl sysc_restore_trace_psw sysc_restore_trace_psw: .quad 0, sysc_restore_trace + .previous #endif # @@ -595,10 +597,12 @@ io_leave: io_done: #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS + .section .data,"aw",@progbits .align 8 .globl io_restore_trace_psw io_restore_trace_psw: .quad 0, io_restore_trace + .previous #endif # Index: quilt-2.6/arch/s390/kernel/entry.S =================================================================== --- quilt-2.6.orig/arch/s390/kernel/entry.S +++ quilt-2.6/arch/s390/kernel/entry.S @@ -278,7 +278,8 @@ sysc_return: bnz BASED(sysc_work) # there is work to do (signals etc.) sysc_restore: #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS - la %r1,BASED(sysc_restore_trace_psw) + la %r1,BASED(sysc_restore_trace_psw_addr) + l %r1,0(%r1) lpsw 0(%r1) sysc_restore_trace: TRACE_IRQS_CHECK @@ -289,10 +290,15 @@ sysc_leave: sysc_done: #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS +sysc_restore_trace_psw_addr: + .long sysc_restore_trace_psw + + .section .data,"aw",@progbits .align 8 .globl sysc_restore_trace_psw sysc_restore_trace_psw: .long 0, sysc_restore_trace + 0x80000000 + .previous #endif # @@ -606,7 +612,8 @@ io_return: bnz BASED(io_work) # there is work to do (signals etc.) io_restore: #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS - la %r1,BASED(io_restore_trace_psw) + la %r1,BASED(io_restore_trace_psw_addr) + l %r1,0(%r1) lpsw 0(%r1) io_restore_trace: TRACE_IRQS_CHECK @@ -617,10 +624,15 @@ io_leave: io_done: #ifdef CONFIG_TRACE_IRQFLAGS +io_restore_trace_psw_addr: + .long io_restore_trace_psw + + .section .data,"aw",@progbits .align 8 .globl io_restore_trace_psw io_restore_trace_psw: .long 0, io_restore_trace + 0x80000000 + .previous #endif # -- blue skies, Martin.
