stop_machine() seemed to be the only important place for yielding during cpu_relax(). This was fixed by using cpu_relax_yield(). Therefore, we can now redefine cpu_relax() to be a barrier instead on s390, making s390 identical to all other architectures.

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.

For a nested KVM guest the outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables for the nested guest. This patch adds the basic support to the guest address space (gmap) code. For each guest address space the inner KVM host creates, the first outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables. The address space is identified by the ASCE loaded into the control register 1 at the time the inner SIE instruction for the second nested KVM guest is executed. The outer KVM host creates the shadow tables starting with the table identified by the ASCE on a on-demand basis. The outer KVM host will get repeated faults for all the shadow tables needed to run the second KVM guest. While a shadow page table for the second KVM guest is active the access to the origin region, segment and page tables needs to be restricted for the first KVM guest. For region and segment and page tables the first KVM guest may read the memory, but write attempt has to lead to an unshadow. This is done using the page invalid and read-only bits in the page table of the first KVM guest. If the first guest re-accesses one of the origin pages of a shadow, it gets a fault and the affected parts of the shadow page table hierarchy needs to be removed again. PGSTE tables don't have to be shadowed, as all interpretation assist can't deal with the invalid bits in the shadow pte being set differently than the original ones provided by the first KVM guest.

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.

Analog to git commit 0c8c0f03 "x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'" move the struct fpu to the end of the struct thread_struct, set CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT and add the setup_task_size() function to calculate the correct size fo the task struct. For the performance_defconfig this increases the size of struct task_struct from 7424 bytes to 7936 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==1) or 7552 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==0). The dynamic allocation of the struct fpu is removed. The slab cache uses an 8KB block for the task struct in all cases, there is enough room for the struct fpu. For MACHINE_HAS_VX==1 each task now needs 512 bytes less memory. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

There is a race with multi-threaded applications between context switch and pagetable upgrade. In switch_mm() a new user_asce is built from mm->pgd and mm->context.asce_bits, w/o holding any locks. A concurrent mmap with a pagetable upgrade on another thread in crst_table_upgrade() could already have set new asce_bits, but not yet the new mm->pgd. This would result in a corrupt user_asce in switch_mm(), and eventually in a kernel panic from a translation exception. Fix this by storing the complete asce instead of just the asce_bits, which can then be read atomically from switch_mm(), so that it either sees the old value or the new value, but no mixture. Both cases are OK. Having the old value would result in a page fault on access to the higher level memory, but the fault handler would see the new mm->pgd, if it was a valid access after the mmap on the other thread has completed. So as worst-case scenario we would have a page fault loop for the racing thread until the next time slice. Also remove dead code and simplify the upgrade/downgrade path, there are no upgrades from 2 levels, and only downgrades from 3 levels for compat tasks. There are also no concurrent upgrades, because the mmap_sem is held with down_write() in do_mmap, so the flush and table checks during upgrade can be removed.

We have four different stack tracers of which three had bugs. So it's time to merge them to a single stack tracer which allows to specify a call back function which will be called for each step. This patch changes behavior a bit: - the "nosched" and "in_sched_functions" check within save_stack_trace_tsk did work only for the last stack frame within a context. Now it considers the check for each stack frame like it should. - both the oprofile variant and the perf_events variant did save a return address twice if a zero back chain was detected, which indicates an interrupt frame. The new dump_trace function will call the oprofile and perf_events backends with the psw address that is contained within the corresponding pt_regs structure instead. - the original show_trace and save_context_stack functions did already use the psw address of the pt_regs structure if a zero back chain was detected. However now we ignore the psw address if it is a user space address. After all we trace the kernel stack and not the user space stack. This way we also get rid of the garbage user space address in case of warnings and / or panic call traces. So this should make life easier since now there is only one stack tracer left which we can break.

When using systemtap it was observed that our udelay implementation is rather suboptimal if being called from a kprobe handler installed by systemtap. The problem observed when a kprobe was installed on lock_acquired(). When the probe was hit the kprobe handler did call udelay, which set up an (internal) timer and reenabled interrupts (only the clock comparator interrupt) and waited for the interrupt. This is an optimization to avoid that the cpu is busy looping while waiting that enough time passes. The problem is that the interrupt handler still does call irq_enter()/irq_exit() which then again can lead to a deadlock, since some accounting functions may take locks as well. If one of these locks is the same, which caused lock_acquired() to be called, we have a nice deadlock. This patch reworks the udelay code for the interrupts disabled case to immediately leave the low level interrupt handler when the clock comparator interrupt happens. That way no C code is being called and the deadlock cannot happen anymore.

Improve the save and restore behavior of FPU register contents to use the vector extension within the kernel. The kernel does not use floating-point or vector registers and, therefore, saving and restoring the FPU register contents are performed for handling signals or switching processes only. To prepare for using vector instructions and vector registers within the kernel, enhance the save behavior and implement a lazy restore at return to user space from a system call or interrupt. To implement the lazy restore, the save_fpu_regs() sets a CPU information flag, CIF_FPU, to indicate that the FPU registers must be restored. Saving and setting CIF_FPU is performed in an atomic fashion to be interrupt-safe. When the kernel wants to use the vector extension or wants to change the FPU register state for a task during signal handling, the save_fpu_regs() must be called first. The CIF_FPU flag is also set at process switch. At return to user space, the FPU state is restored. In particular, the FPU state includes the floating-point or vector register contents, as well as, vector-enablement and floating-point control. The FPU state restore and clearing CIF_FPU is also performed in an atomic fashion. For KVM, the restore of the FPU register state is performed when restoring the general-purpose guest registers before the SIE instructions is started. Because the path towards the SIE instruction is interruptible, the CIF_FPU flag must be checked again right before going into SIE. If set, the guest registers must be reloaded again by re-entering the outer SIE loop. This is the same behavior as if the SIE critical section is interrupted.

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 arch_mutex_cpu_relax() function, introduced by 34b133f8, is hacky and ugly. It was added a few years ago to address the fact that common cpu_relax() calls include yielding on s390, and thus impact the optimistic spinning functionality of mutexes. Nowadays we use this function well beyond mutexes: rwsem, qrwlock, mcs and lockref. Since the macro that defines the call is in the mutex header, any users must include mutex.h and the naming is misleading as well. This patch (i) renames the call to cpu_relax_lowlatency ("relax, but only if you can do it with very low latency") and (ii) defines it in each arch's asm/processor.h local header, just like for regular cpu_relax functions. On all archs, except s390, cpu_relax_lowlatency is simply cpu_relax, and thus we can take it out of mutex.h. While this can seem redundant, I believe it is a good choice as it allows us to move out arch specific logic from generic locking primitives and enables future(?) archs to transparently define it, similarly to System Z.

The oi and ni instructions used in entry[64].S to set and clear bits in the thread-flags are not guaranteed to be atomic in regard to other CPUs. Split the TIF bits into CPU, pt_regs and thread-info specific bits. Updates on the TIF bits are done with atomic instructions, updates on CPU and pt_regs bits are done with non-atomic instructions.

The IDTE instruction used to flush TLB entries for a specific address space uses the address-space-control element (ASCE) to identify affected TLB entries. The upgrade of a page table adds a new top level page table which changes the ASCE. The TLB entries associated with the old ASCE need to be flushed and the ASCE for the address space needs to be replaced synchronously on all CPUs which currently use it. The concept of a lazy ASCE update with an exception handler is broken. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Fix the following bugs: - When returning from a signal the signal handler copies the saved psw mask from user space and uses parts of it. Especially it restores the RI bit unconditionally. If however the machine doesn't support RI, or RI is disabled for the task, the last lpswe instruction which returns to user space will generate a specification exception. To fix this check if the RI bit is allowed to be set and kill the task if not. - In the compat mode signal handler code the RI bit of the psw mask gets propagated to the mask of the return psw: if user space enables RI in the signal handler, RI will also be enabled after the signal handler is finished. This is a different behaviour than with 64 bit tasks. So change this to match the 64 bit semantics, which restores the original RI bit value. - Fix similar oddities within the ptrace code as well.

Linus suggested to replace #ifndef CONFIG_HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX #define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax() #endif with just a simple #ifndef arch_mutex_cpu_relax # define arch_mutex_cpu_relax() cpu_relax() #endif to get rid of CONFIG_HAVE_CPU_RELAX_SIMPLE. So architectures can simply define arch_mutex_cpu_relax if they want an architecture specific function instead of having to add a select statement in their Kconfig in addition.
