      [S390] tlb flush fix. · ba8a9229
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The current tlb flushing code for page table entries violates the
      s390 architecture in a small detail. The relevant section from the
      principles of operation (SA22-7832-02 page 3-47):
      
         "A valid table entry must not be changed while it is attached
         to any CPU and may be used for translation by that CPU except to
         (1) invalidate the entry by using INVALIDATE PAGE TABLE ENTRY or
         INVALIDATE DAT TABLE ENTRY, (2) alter bits 56-63 of a page-table
         entry, or (3) make a change by means of a COMPARE AND SWAP AND
         PURGE instruction that purges the TLB."
      
      That means if one thread of a multithreaded applciation uses a vma
      while another thread does an unmap on it, the page table entries of
      that vma needs to get removed with IPTE, IDTE or CSP. In some strange
      and rare situations a cpu could check-stop (die) because a entry has
      been pushed out of the TLB that is still needed to complete a
      (milli-coded) instruction. I've never seen it happen with the current
      code on any of the supported machines, so right now this is a
      theoretical problem. But I want to fix it nevertheless, to avoid
      headaches in the futures.
      
      To get this implemented correctly without changing common code the
      primitives ptep_get_and_clear, ptep_get_and_clear_full and
      ptep_set_wrprotect need to use the IPTE instruction to invalidate the
      pte before the new pte value gets stored. If IPTE is always used for
      the three primitives three important operations will have a performace
      hit: fork, mprotect and exit_mmap. Time for some workarounds:
      
      * 1: ptep_get_and_clear_full is used in unmap_vmas to remove page
      tables entries in a batched tlb gather operation. If the mmu_gather
      context passed to unmap_vmas has been started with full_mm_flush==1
      or if only one cpu is online or if the only user of a mm_struct is the
      current process then the fullmm indication in the mmu_gather context is
      set to one. All TLBs for mm_struct are flushed by the tlb_gather_mmu
      call. No new TLBs can be created while the unmap is in progress. In
      this case ptep_get_and_clear_full clears the ptes with a simple store.
      
      * 2: ptep_get_and_clear is used in change_protection to clear the
      ptes from the page tables before they are reentered with the new
      access flags. At the end of the update flush_tlb_range clears the
      remaining TLBs. In general the ptep_get_and_clear has to issue IPTE
      for each pte and flush_tlb_range is a nop. But if there is only one
      user of the mm_struct then ptep_get_and_clear uses simple stores
      to do the update and flush_tlb_range will flush the TLBs.
      
      * 3: Similar to 2, ptep_set_wrprotect is used in copy_page_range
      for a fork to make all ptes of a cow mapping read-only. At the end of
      of copy_page_range dup_mmap will flush the TLBs with a call to
      flush_tlb_mm.  Check for mm->mm_users and if there is only one user
      avoid using IPTE in ptep_set_wrprotect and let flush_tlb_mm clear the
      TLBs.
      
      Overall for single threaded programs the tlb flush code now performs
      better, for multi threaded programs it is slightly worse. In particular
      exit_mmap() now does a single IDTE for the mm and then just frees every
      page cache reference and every page table page directly without a delay
      over the mmu_gather structure.

      [S390] kernel: Fix dump on panic for DASDs under LPAR. · e3d3683d
      Michael Holzheu 提交于
      Currently the ccw method is used to ipl the DASD dump record under LPAR.
      This mechanism is not reliable, which can cause dump failures. This fix
      now uses the diag 308 ipl method for all machines, which have diag308
      subcode 5 and 4 support.

      [S390] Add per-cpu idle time / idle count sysfs attributes. · fae8b22d
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Add two new sysfs entries per cpu: idle_count and idle_time.
      idle_count contains the number of times a cpu went into idle state.
      idle_time contains the time a cpu spent in idle state in microseconds.
      This can be used e.g. by powertop to tell how often idle state is
      entered and left.
