The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.

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.

Currently the vmalloc area starts at a dynamic address depending on the memory size. There was also an 8MB security hole after the physical memory to catch out-of-bounds accesses. We can simplify the code by putting the vmalloc area explicitely at the top of the kernel mapping and setting the vmalloc size to a fixed value of 128MB/128GB for 31bit/64bit systems. Part of the vmalloc area will be used for the vmem_map. This leaves an area of 96MB/1GB for normal vmalloc allocations.

Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and configured state. Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state. For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used. To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute. In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to the attribute. Only cpus in configured state can be brought online. In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan" must be used. Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of cpus and will create directories for new cpus. On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).

Current support for TRACE_IRQFLAGS and lockdep_sys_exit is broken. IRQ flag tracing is broken for program checks. Even worse is that the newly introduced calls to lockdep_sys_exit are in the critical section code which is not supposed to call any C functions. In addition the checks if locks are still held are also done when returning to kernel code which is broken as well. Fix all this by disabling interrupts and machine checks at the exit paths and then do the appropriate checks and calls.

The first 32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from Linux.
