      [S390] debug: enable exception-trace debug facility · ab3c68ee
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      The exception-trace facility on x86 and other architectures prints
      traces to dmesg whenever a user space application crashes.
      s390 has such a feature since ages however it is called
      userprocess_debug and is enabled differently.
      This patch makes sure that whenever one of the two procfs files
      
      /proc/sys/kernel/userprocess_debug
      /proc/sys/debug/exception-trace
      
      is modified the contents of the second one changes as well.
      That way we keep backwards compatibilty but also support the same
      interface like other architectures do.
      Besides that the output of the traces is improved since it will now
      also contain the corresponding filename of the vma (when available)
      where the process caused a fault or trap.

      [S390] Improve address space mode selection. · b11b5334
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and
      s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values:
        1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0
        2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0
        3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1
      They get replaced by
        1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE
        2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE
        3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE
      The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets
      you choose the address space mode the user space processes should
      use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option
      is removed.

      locking: Make inlining decision Kconfig based · 6beb0009
      Thomas Gleixner 提交于
      commit 892a7c67 (locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks) implements the
      selection of which lock functions are inlined based on defines in
      arch/.../spinlock.h: #define __always_inline__LOCK_FUNCTION
      
      Despite of the name __always_inline__* the lock functions can be built
      out of line depending on config options. Also if the arch does not set
      some inline defines the generic code might set them; again depending on
      config options.
      
      This makes it unnecessary hard to figure out when and which lock
      functions are inlined. Aside of that it makes it way harder and
      messier for -rt to manipulate the lock functions.
      
      Convert the inlining decision to CONFIG switches. Each lock function
      is inlined depending on CONFIG_INLINE_*. The configs implement the
      existing dependencies. The architecture code can select ARCH_INLINE_*
      to signal that it wants the corresponding lock function inlined.
      ARCH_INLINE_* is necessary as Kconfig ignores "depends on"
      restrictions when a config element is selected.
      
      No functional change.

      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. )

      s390: switch to dynamic percpu allocator · 9a0ef292
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      64bit s390 shares the same problem with alpha regarding percpu symbol
      addressing from modules.  It needs assembly magic to force GOTENT
      reference when building module as the percpu address will be outside
      the usual 4G range from the module text.  This can be solved by using
      weak percpu variable definitions.
      
      This patch makes s390 use weak definitions and switch to dynamic
      percpu allocator.  Please note that weak attribute is not added if
      !SMP as percpu variables behave exactly the same as normal variables
      on UP.
      
      Compile tested.  Generation of GOTENT reference verified.
      
      This patch is based on Ivan Kokshaysky's alpha percpu patch.

      percpu: use dynamic percpu allocator as the default percpu allocator · e74e3962
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      This patch makes most !CONFIG_HAVE_SETUP_PER_CPU_AREA archs use
      dynamic percpu allocator.  The first chunk is allocated using
      embedding helper and 8k is reserved for modules.  This ensures that
      the new allocator behaves almost identically to the original allocator
      as long as static percpu variables are concerned, so it shouldn't
      introduce much breakage.
      
      s390 and alpha use custom SHIFT_PERCPU_PTR() to work around addressing
      range limit the addressing model imposes.  Unfortunately, this breaks
      if the address is specified using a variable, so for now, the two
      archs aren't converted.
      
      The following architectures are affected by this change.
      
      * sh
      * arm
      * cris
      * mips
      * sparc(32)
      * blackfin
      * avr32
      * parisc (broken, under investigation)
      * m32r
      * powerpc(32)
      
      As this change makes the dynamic allocator the default one,
      CONFIG_HAVE_DYNAMIC_PER_CPU_AREA is replaced with its invert -
      CONFIG_HAVE_LEGACY_PER_CPU_AREA, which is added to yet-to-be converted
      archs.  These archs implement their own setup_per_cpu_areas() and the
      conversion is not trivial.
      
      * powerpc(64)
      * sparc(64)
      * ia64
      * alpha
      * s390
      
      Boot and batch alloc/free tests on x86_32 with debug code (x86_32
      doesn't use default first chunk initialization).  Compile tested on
      sparc(32), powerpc(32), arm and alpha.
      
      Kyle McMartin reported that this change breaks parisc.  The problem is
      still under investigation and he is okay with pushing this patch
      forward and fixing parisc later.

      mutex: have non-spinning mutexes on s390 by default · 36cd3c9f
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Impact: performance regression fix for s390
      
      The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on
      virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in
      mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled
      away by the hypervisor.
      
      We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the
      state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by
      the hypervisor.
      
      For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390.
      
      We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of
      a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure
      out if the target cpu is physically backed.
      
      However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with
      a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

      Impact: cleanup
      
      Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
      location.
      
      Twists:
      1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
         CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.
      
      2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
         Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.
      
      3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
         so I just manipulate them both in sync.
      
      4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'

      We got a stack overflow with a small stack configuration on a 32 bit

      So lets get rid of 4kb stacks on 32 bit.
      
      But one thing I completely dislike about the call trace below is that
      just for debugging or tracing purposes sprintf gets called (cio_start_key):
      
      	/* process condition code */
      	sprintf(dbf_txt, "ccode:%d", ccode);
      	CIO_TRACE_EVENT(4, dbf_txt);
      
      But maybe its just me who thinks that this could be done better.

      [S390] Change default IPL method to IPL_VM. · 46e7951f
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      allyesconfig and allmodconfig built kernels have a tape IPL record.
      A the vmreader record makes much more sense, since hardly anybody will
      ever IPL a kernel from tape. So change the default.
      As I side effect I can test these kernels without fiddling around with
      the kernel config ;)
