The maximum nesting of the cpu topology is evaluated when /proc/sysinfo is the first time read. This happens without a lock and a concurrent reader on a different cpu can see and use an invalid intermediate value. Besides the fact that this race is quite unlikely the worst thing that could happen is that /proc/sysinfo would contain bogus information about the machine's cpu topology. Nevertheless this should be fixed. So move the detection code to the early machine detection code and since now the value is early available use it in the topology code as well.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless. Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly different statements and wanted to change them one after another whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template for new files. So unify all of them in one go. Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

Define struct pcpu and merge some of the NR_CPUS arrays into it, including __cpu_logical_map, current_set and smp_cpu_state. Split smp related functions to those operating on physical cpus and the functions operating on a logical cpu number. Make the functions for physical cpus use a pointer to a struct pcpu. This hides the knowledge about cpu addresses in smp.c, entry[64].S and swsusp_asm64.S, thus remove the sigp.h header. The PSW restart mechanism is used to start secondary cpus, calling a function on an online cpu, calling a function on the ipl cpu, and for the nmi signal. Replace the different assembler functions with a single function restart_int_handler. The new entry point calls a function whose pointer is stored in the lowcore of the target cpu and it can wait for the source cpu to stop. This covers all existing use cases. Overall the code is now simpler and there are ~380 lines less code. Reviewed-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Remove all ifdefs from topology code and also only compile it for the CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK case. The new code selects SCHED_MC if SCHED_BOOK is selected. SCHED_MC without SCHED_BOOK is not possible anymore. Furthermore various sysfs attributes are not available anymore for the !SCHED_BOOK case. In particular all attributes that correspond to CPU polarization. But since all real world kernels have SCHED_BOOK selected anyway this doesn't matter too much.

This moves the 'cpu sysdev_class' over to a regular 'cpu' subsystem and converts the devices to regular devices. The sysdev drivers are implemented as subsystem interfaces now. After all sysdev classes are ported to regular driver core entities, the sysdev implementation will be entirely removed from the kernel. Userspace relies on events and generic sysfs subsystem infrastructure from sysdev devices, which are made available with this conversion.

Export the cpu configuration topology via sysinfo. Two new lines are introduced: CPU Topology HW: 0 0 0 4 6 4 CPU Topology SW: 0 0 0 0 4 24 The HW line describes the cpu topology nesting levels when the maximum nesting level is used to get the corresponding SYSIB. The SW line describes what Linux is actually using. In this case it supports only two levels (CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK off) and therefore the hardware folded the two lower levels in the SYSIB response block.

Common code doesn't call arch_update_cpu_topology() anymore on cpu hotplug. But our architecture backend relied on that in order to update the cpu_core_map. For machines without cpu topology support this leads uninitialized cpu_core_maps for later on added cpus. To solve this just initialize the maps with cpu_possible_map, since that will be always valid for machines without topology support.

When we get a notification that cpu topology changed, we schedule a work struct which just calls arch_reinit_sched_domains. This function in turn calls get_online_cpus() which results int the lockdep warning below. After all it turnded out that it's not legal to call get_online_cpus() from the context of a multi-threaded work queue. It could deadlock this way: process 0 (events/cpu-x): -> run_workqueue -> removes my work_struct from the work queue -> calls work_struct->fn -> get_online_cpus() -> locks on cpu_hotplug.lock since process 1 below is doing cpu hotplug process 1: -> cpu_down (for cpu-x) -> cpu_hotplug_begin (holds cpu_hotplug.lock now) -> cpu-x dead -> notifier_call_chain with CPU_DEAD -> cleanup_workqueue_thread -> flush_cpu_workqueue (succeeds) -> kthread_stop for events/cpu-x -> now kthread_stop waits for my work_struct to complete from within process 0. -> dead. A single threaded workqueue wouldn't have such problems, however there is no such common queue available and it's not worth to create one for the very rare calls to arch_reinit_sched_domains. So we just create a kernel thread from our work struct which calls arch_reinit_sched_domains and are done with it.

If vertical cpu polarization is active then the hypervisor will dispatch certain cpus for a longer time than other cpus for maximum performance. For example if a guest would have three virtual cpus, each of them with a share of 33 percent, then in case of vertical cpu polarization all of the processing time would be combined to a single cpu which would run all the time, while the other two cpus would get nearly no cpu time. There are three different types of vertical cpus: high, medium and low. Low cpus hardly get any real cpu time, while high cpus get a full real cpu. Medium cpus get something in between. In order to switch between the two possible modes (default is horizontal) a 0 for horizontal polarization or a 1 for vertical polarization must be written to the dispatching sysfs attribute: /sys/devices/system/cpu/dispatching The polarization of each single cpu can be figured out by the polarization sysfs attribute of each cpu: /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/polarization horizontal, vertical:high, vertical:medium, vertical:low or unknown. When switching polarization the polarization attribute may contain the value unknown until the configuration change is done and the kernel has figured out the new polarization of each cpu. Note that running a system with different types of vertical cpus may result in significant performance regressions. If possible only one type of vertical cpus should be used. All other cpus should be offlined. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
