      [S390] smp: fix sigp sense handling · b3dcf3de
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      sigp sense only returns the status of a cpu if it is non zero. If the
      status of the sensed cpu is all zeros condition code 0 (accpeted) is
      set and no status bits are returned.
      The current code however assumes that a status was returned and tests
      bits in it. This means uninitalized data is accessed with random
      results.
      Worst case is that the code that checks if cpu is offline on cpu
      hotplug assumes that the target cpu is offline while it is still
      running. This leads potentially to memory corruption since resources
      that are still needed by the target cpu will be freed and could be
      resused while still in use.

      [S390] smp: fix sigp stop handling · f8501ba7
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      According to the architecture a cpu must not necessarily enter stopped
      state after completion of a sigp instruction with "stop" order code.
      So remove the BUG() statement after self sending sigp stop to avoid
      that it ever gets reached.
      Also add a sigp busy check to make sure that the order gets delivered.

      [S390] smp: fix prefix handling of offlined cpus · 4f8048ee
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Offlined cpus still have valid prefix register contents. Dumpers
      will store the register contents of a cpu to the location where its
      prefix register points to.
      For offlined cpus the area (lowcore) has been freed and the dumper
      would write the uninteresting contents of the offline cpu to a memory
      location which might be in use by some other component and destroy
      valueable information.
      To fix this set the prefix register of offline cpus to absolute
      address zero again. This prevents the current dumpers to write to
      random memory locations.

      perf: Do the big rename: Performance Counters -> Performance Events · cdd6c482
      Ingo Molnar 提交于
      Bye-bye Performance Counters, welcome Performance Events!
      
      In the past few months the perfcounters subsystem has grown out its
      initial role of counting hardware events, and has become (and is
      becoming) a much broader generic event enumeration, reporting, logging,
      monitoring, analysis facility.
      
      Naming its core object 'perf_counter' and naming the subsystem
      'perfcounters' has become more and more of a misnomer. With pending
      code like hw-breakpoints support the 'counter' name is less and
      less appropriate.
      
      All in one, we've decided to rename the subsystem to 'performance
      events' and to propagate this rename through all fields, variables
      and API names. (in an ABI compatible fashion)
      
      The word 'event' is also a bit shorter than 'counter' - which makes
      it slightly more convenient to write/handle as well.
      
      Thanks goes to Stephane Eranian who first observed this misnomer and
      suggested a rename.
      
      User-space tooling and ABI compatibility is not affected - this patch
      should be function-invariant. (Also, defconfigs were not touched to
      keep the size down.)
      
      This patch has been generated via the following script:
      
        FILES=$(find * -type f | grep -vE 'oprofile|[^K]config')
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/PERF_EVENT_/PERF_RECORD_/g' \
          -e 's/PERF_COUNTER/PERF_EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g' \
          -e 's/nb_counters/nb_events/g' \
          -e 's/swcounter/swevent/g' \
          -e 's/tpcounter_event/tp_event/g' \
          $FILES
      
        for N in $(find . -name perf_counter.[ch]); do
          M=$(echo $N | sed 's/perf_counter/perf_event/g')
          mv $N $M
        done
      
        FILES=$(find . -name perf_event.*)
      
        sed -i \
          -e 's/COUNTER_MASK/REG_MASK/g' \
          -e 's/COUNTER/EVENT/g' \
          -e 's/\<event\>/event_id/g' \
          -e 's/counter/event/g' \
          -e 's/Counter/Event/g' \
          $FILES
      
      ... to keep it as correct as possible. This script can also be
      used by anyone who has pending perfcounters patches - it converts
      a Linux kernel tree over to the new naming. We tried to time this
      change to the point in time where the amount of pending patches
      is the smallest: the end of the merge window.
      
      Namespace clashes were fixed up in a preparatory patch - and some
      stylistic fallout will be fixed up in a subsequent patch.
      
      ( NOTE: 'counters' are still the proper terminology when we deal
        with hardware registers - and these sed scripts are a bit
        over-eager in renaming them. I've undone some of that, but
        in case there's something left where 'counter' would be
        better than 'event' we can undo that on an individual basis
        instead of touching an otherwise nicely automated patch. )
