      s390/kernel: lazy restore fpu registers · 9977e886
      Hendrik Brueckner 提交于
      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.

      Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and
      effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no
      distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel.
      
      The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before
      anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel
      shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e ("s390: add 31 bit warning
      message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit
      code. We didn't get any response.
      
      Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's
      remove the code.
      Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

      s390: add support for runtime instrumentation · e4b8b3f3
      Jan Glauber 提交于
      Allow user-space threads to use runtime instrumentation (RI). To enable RI
      for a thread there is a new s390 specific system call, sys_s390_runtime_instr,
      that takes as parameter a realtime signal number. If the RI facility is
      available the system call sets up a control block for the calling thread with
      the appropriate permissions for the thread to modify the control block.
      
      The user-space thread can then use the store and modify RI instructions to
      alter the control block and start/stop the instrumentation via RION/RIOFF.
      
      If the user specified program buffer runs full RI triggers an external
      interrupt. The external interrupt is translated to a real-time signal that
      is delivered to the thread that enabled RI on that CPU. The number of
      the real-time signal is the number specified in the RI system call. So,
      user-space can select any available real-time signal number in case the
      application itself uses real-time signals for other purposes.
      
      The kernel saves the RI control blocks on task switch only if the running
      thread was enabled for RI. Therefore, the performance impact on task switch
      should be negligible if RI is not used.
      
      RI is only enabled for user-space mode and is disabled for the supervisor
      state.

      s390/vtimer: rework virtual timer interface · 27f6b416
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The current virtual timer interface is inherently per-cpu and hard to
      use. The sole user of the interface is appldata which uses it to execute
      a function after a specific amount of cputime has been used over all cpus.
      
      Rework the virtual timer interface to hook into the cputime accounting.
      This makes the interface independent from the CPU timer interrupts, and
      makes the virtual timers global as opposed to per-cpu.
      Overall the code is greatly simplified. The downside is that the accuracy
      is not as good as the original implementation, but it is still good enough
      for appldata.

      [S390] rework idle code · 4c1051e3
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Whenever the cpu loads an enabled wait PSW it will appear as idle to the
      underlying host system. The code in default_idle calls vtime_stop_cpu
      which does the necessary voodoo to get the cpu time accounting right.
      The udelay code just loads an enabled wait PSW. To correct this rework
      the vtime_stop_cpu/vtime_start_cpu logic and move the difficult parts
      to entry[64].S, vtime_stop_cpu can now be called from anywhere and
      vtime_start_cpu is gone. The correction of the cpu time during wakeup
      from an enabled wait PSW is done with a critical section in entry[64].S.
      As vtime_start_cpu is gone, s390_idle_check can be removed as well.

      nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu() · 1268fbc7
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
      tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
      irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
      needlessly process any RCU job.
      
      Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
      have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
      idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

      nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stop · 2bbb6817
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
      mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
      true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
      the tick is stopped.
      
      To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
      tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
      
      If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
      tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
      must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
      need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
      
      Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
      tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
      
      - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
      to sleep.
      - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
      up.

      nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic · 280f0677
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
      the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
      places:
      
      - From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
      - From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
      idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
      case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
      action.
      
      There are only few minor differences between both that
      are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
      cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
      that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
      interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
      quiescent state from idle loop entry only.
      
      Split this function into:
      
      - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
      dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
      extended quiescent state.
      
      - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
      when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).
      
      To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
      into tick_nohz_idle_exit().
      
      This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
      for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
      dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
      further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
      loop.
