This adds a new system call to enable the use of guarded storage for user space processes. The system call takes two arguments, a command and pointer to a guarded storage control block: s390_guarded_storage(int command, struct gs_cb *gs_cb); The second argument is relevant only for the GS_SET_BC_CB command. The commands in detail: 0 - GS_ENABLE Enable the guarded storage facility for the current task. The initial content of the guarded storage control block will be all zeros. After the enablement the user space code can use load-guarded-storage-controls instruction (LGSC) to load an arbitrary control block. While a task is enabled the kernel will save and restore the current content of the guarded storage registers on context switch. 1 - GS_DISABLE Disables the use of the guarded storage facility for the current task. The kernel will cease to save and restore the content of the guarded storage registers, the task specific content of these registers is lost. 2 - GS_SET_BC_CB Set a broadcast guarded storage control block. This is called per thread and stores a specific guarded storage control block in the task struct of the current task. This control block will be used for the broadcast event GS_BROADCAST. 3 - GS_CLEAR_BC_CB Clears the broadcast guarded storage control block. The guarded- storage control block is removed from the task struct that was established by GS_SET_BC_CB. 4 - GS_BROADCAST Sends a broadcast to all thread siblings of the current task. Every sibling that has established a broadcast guarded storage control block will load this control block and will be enabled for guarded storage. The broadcast guarded storage control block is used up, a second broadcast without a refresh of the stored control block with GS_SET_BC_CB will not have any effect.

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax(). For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency. For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment. On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the hypervisor to give up the timeslice. In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies. In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant "cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield that can be called in places where yielding is more important than latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

Show the dynamic and static cpu mhz of each cpu. Since these values are per cpu this requires a fundamental extension of the format of /proc/cpuinfo. Historically we had only a single line per cpu and a summary at the top of the file. This format is hardly extendible if we want to add more per cpu information. Therefore this patch adds per cpu blocks at the end of /proc/cpuinfo: cpu : 0 cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504 cpu Mhz static : 5504 cpu : 1 cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504 cpu Mhz static : 5504 cpu : 2 cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504 cpu Mhz static : 5504 cpu : 3 cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504 cpu Mhz static : 5504 Right now each block contains only the dynamic and static cpu mhz, but it can be easily extended like on every other architecture. This extension is supposed to be compatible with the old format.

With git commit 4d92f502 ("s390: reintroduce diag 44 calls for cpu_relax()") I reintroduced a non-trivial cpu_relax() variant on s390. The difference to the previous variant however is that the new version is an out-of-line function, which will be traced if function tracing is enabled. Switching to different tracers includes instruction patching. Therefore this is done within stop_machine() "context" to prevent that any function tracing is going on while instructions are being patched. With the new out-of-line variant of cpu_relax() this is not true anymore, since cpu_relax() gets called in a busy loop by all waiting cpus within stop_machine() until function patching is finished. Therefore cpu_relax() must be marked notrace. This fixes kernel crashes when frequently switching between "function" and "function_graph" tracers. Moving cpu_relax() to a header file again, doesn't work because of header include order dependencies.

Christian Borntraeger reported that the now missing diag 44 calls (voluntary time slice end) does cause a performance regression for stop_machine() calls if a machine has more virtual cpus than the host has physical cpus. This patch mainly reverts 57f2ffe1 ("s390: remove diag 44 calls from cpu_relax()") with the exception that we still do not issue diag 44 calls if running with smt enabled. Due to group scheduling algorithms when running in LPAR this would lead to significant latencies. However, when running in LPAR we do not have more virtual than physical cpus.

The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of instruction to operate on the vector registers. The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers. Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x). This calculates the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor based on an offset. Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current processors percpu area. __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when writing data or on the right side of an assignment. __get_cpu_var() is defined as : #define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var))) __get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on other platforms) to avoid the address calculation. this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu variables. This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that use the offset. Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers are used when code is generated. At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so the macro is removed too. The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86 arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e. using a global register that may be set to the per cpu base. Transformations done to __get_cpu_var() 1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor. DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y); int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y); Converts to int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y); 2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings do not offset the cost and complications. For example, the fix in commit 5e427ec2 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time") is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created with improper use of the various __init prefixes. After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go the way of devinit and be phased out. Once all the users are gone, we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h. Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c) are flagged as __cpuinit -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings. As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid of these warnings. In any case, they are temporary and harmless. This removes all the arch/s390 uses of the __cpuinit macros from all C files. Currently s390 does not have any __CPUINIT used in assembly files.

The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read. One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid. On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE. CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics. This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update. As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles. Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to the problem.

The .start function and indirectly the .next function of the show_cpuinfo sequential operation uses NR_CPUS as limit instead of nr_cpu_ids. This can cause warnings like this: WARNING: at /usr/src/linux/include/linux/cpumask.h:107 Process lscpu (pid: 575, task: 000000007deb4338, ksp: 000000007794f588) Krnl PSW : 0704000180000000 0000000000106db4 (show_cpuinfo+0x108/0x234) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:0 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000003 0000000000791988 000000000071b478 0000000000000004 0000000000000001 0000000000000000 000000007d139500 0000000000000400 0000000000000000 000000000070e24c 000000007d48d600 0000000000000005 000000007d48d600 00000000004dfa10 0000000000106cf8 000000007794fcc0 Krnl Code: 0000000000106da8: 95001000 cli 0(%r1),0 0000000000106dac: a774ffac brc 7,106d04 0000000000106db0: a7f40001 brc 15,106db2 >0000000000106db4: 92011000 mvi 0(%r1),1 0000000000106db8: a7f4ffa6 brc 15,106d04 0000000000106dbc: c0e5000065b4 brasl %r14,113924 0000000000106dc2: c09000303a45 larl %r9,70e24c 0000000000106dc8: c020001eefd4 larl %r2,4e4d70 Replacing NR_CPUS with nr_cpu_ids fixes it.

When the seqfile /proc/cpuinfo gets accesses for each possible cpu loops_per_jiffy gets recalculated. However its value is only needed on first access. In addition loops_per_jiffy should be recalculated when the machine reports a capability change.

Use get_online_cpus() instead of preempt_disable() to make sure cpus don't go offline while accessing their per cpu data. The preempt_disable() stuff is old code which was used before get_online_cpus() was available.

Get rid of messages that indicate if a cpu went online or offline. There is nothing special about this anymore and these messages might flood the kernel log buffer which makes debugging harder since more important messages might be overwritten.

Up to now print_cpu_info() uses the cpu address stored in it's local lowcore to print a message to the console. The cpu address in the lowcore is (in this case) however not the physical cpu address of the local cpu. It's the address of the cpu that issued the sigp restart which started the local cpu. Fix this by using the store cpu address instruction instead. It's not that anybody really cares since this is broken since more than ten years...

The Extended Translation Facility 3 (ETF3) added instructions which allow conversions between different unicode character maps (UTF-8, UTF-32 ...). These instructions got enhanced with a later version of the ETF3 allowing malformed multibyte chars to be recognized and reported correctly. The attached patch reserves bit 8 in the elf hwcaps vector for the enhanced version of ETF3. The bit corresponds to the stfle bits 22 and 30 and will only be set if both of the stfle bits are set.
