Currently the storage of the machine flags is a globally exported unsigned long long variable. By moving the storage location into the lowcore struct we allow assembler code to check machine_flags directly even without needing a register. Addtionally the lowcore and therefore the machine flags too will be in cache most of the time.

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.

The old dfp detection wanted to check bit 43 (dfp high performance), but due to a wrong calculation always used to check bit 42. Additionally the "userspace expectation" is, that the dfp capability bit is set is if facility bit 42 (decimal floating point facility available) and bit 44 (perform floating point operation facility avail). The patch fixes the bit calculation and extends the check to work like: elf hw cap dfp bit = facility bits 42 (dfp) & 44 (pfpo) available Signed-off-by: NChristian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Standby memory detected with the sclp interface gets always registered with add_memory calls without considering the limitationt that the "mem=" kernel paramater implies. So fix this and only register standby memory that is below the specified limit. This fixes zfcpdump since it uses "mem=32M". In case there is appr. 2GB standby memory present all of usable memory would be used for the struct pages needed for standby memory.

The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the kernel.

add_active_range() expects start_pfn + size as end_pfn value, i.e. not the pfn of the last page frame but the one behind that. We used the pfn of the last page frame so far, which can lead to a BUG_ON in move_freepages(), when the kernelcore parameter is specified (page_zone(start_page) != page_zone(end_page)).

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> From: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> This lets us use defines for the magic bits in machine flags instead of using plain numbers all over the place. In addition on newer machines features/facilities are indicated by the result of the stfl instruction. So we use these bits instead of trying to execute new instructions and check wether we get an exception or not. Also the mvpg instruction is always available when in zArch mode, whereas the idte instruction is only available in zArch mode. This results in some minor optimizations.

The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to reserve space in the page table: s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table. Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE. This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static. Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions between crashkernel area and already used memory. This patch: Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE. If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already has been reserved in the past. This is to avoid conflicts. Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition inside reserve_bootmem_core().

In case of a kernel panic it is currently possible to specify that a dump should be created, the system should be rebooted or stopped. Virtual sysfs files under the directory /sys/firmware/ are used for that configuration. In addition to that, there are kernel parameters 'vmhalt', 'vmpoff' and 'vmpanic', which can be used to specify z/VM commands, which are automatically executed in case of halt, power off or a kernel panic. This patch combines both functionalities and allows to specify the z/VM CP commands also via sysfs attributes. In addition to that, it enhances the existing handling of shutdown triggers (e.g. halt or panic) and associated shutdown actions (e.g. dump or reipl) and makes it more flexible.
