      s390/time: correct use of store clock fast · 8c071b0f
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The result of the store-clock-fast (STCKF) instruction is a bit fuzzy.
      It can happen that the value stored on one CPU is smaller than the value
      stored on another CPU, although the order of the stores is the other
      way around. This can cause deltas of get_tod_clock() values to become
      negative when they should not be.
      
      We need to be more careful with store-clock-fast, this patch partially
      reverts git commit e4b7b4238e666682555461fa52eecd74652f36bb "time:
      always use stckf instead of stck if available". The get_tod_clock()
      function now uses the store-clock-extended (STCKE) instruction.
      get_tod_clock_fast() can be used if the fuzziness of store-clock-fast
      is acceptable e.g. for wait loops local to a CPU.

      s390/mm: implement software referenced bits · 0944fe3f
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The last remaining use for the storage key of the s390 architecture
      is reference counting. The alternative is to make page table entries
      invalid while they are old. On access the fault handler marks the
      pte/pmd as young which makes the pte/pmd valid if the access rights
      allow read access. The pte/pmd invalidations required for software
      managed reference bits cost a bit of performance, on the other hand
      the RRBE/RRBM instructions to read and reset the referenced bits are
      quite expensive as well.

      Fix TLB gather virtual address range invalidation corner cases · 2b047252
      Linus Torvalds 提交于
      Ben Tebulin reported:
      
       "Since v3.7.2 on two independent machines a very specific Git
        repository fails in 9/10 cases on git-fsck due to an SHA1/memory
        failures.  This only occurs on a very specific repository and can be
        reproduced stably on two independent laptops.  Git mailing list ran
        out of ideas and for me this looks like some very exotic kernel issue"
      
      and bisected the failure to the backport of commit 53a59fc6 ("mm:
      limit mmu_gather batching to fix soft lockups on !CONFIG_PREEMPT").
      
      That commit itself is not actually buggy, but what it does is to make it
      much more likely to hit the partial TLB invalidation case, since it
      introduces a new case in tlb_next_batch() that previously only ever
      happened when running out of memory.
      
      The real bug is that the TLB gather virtual memory range setup is subtly
      buggered.  It was introduced in commit 597e1c35 ("mm/mmu_gather:
      enable tlb flush range in generic mmu_gather"), and the range handling
      was already fixed at least once in commit e6c495a9 ("mm: fix the TLB
      range flushed when __tlb_remove_page() runs out of slots"), but that fix
      was not complete.
      
      The problem with the TLB gather virtual address range is that it isn't
      set up by the initial tlb_gather_mmu() initialization (which didn't get
      the TLB range information), but it is set up ad-hoc later by the
      functions that actually flush the TLB.  And so any such case that forgot
      to update the TLB range entries would potentially miss TLB invalidates.
      
      Rather than try to figure out exactly which particular ad-hoc range
      setup was missing (I personally suspect it's the hugetlb case in
      zap_huge_pmd(), which didn't have the same logic as zap_pte_range()
      did), this patch just gets rid of the problem at the source: make the
      TLB range information available to tlb_gather_mmu(), and initialize it
      when initializing all the other tlb gather fields.
      
      This makes the patch larger, but conceptually much simpler.  And the end
      result is much more understandable; even if you want to play games with
      partial ranges when invalidating the TLB contents in chunks, now the
      range information is always there, and anybody who doesn't want to
      bother with it won't introduce subtle bugs.
      
      Ben verified that this fixes his problem.

      vtime: Describe overriden functions in dedicated arch headers · a5725ac2
      Frederic Weisbecker 提交于
      If the arch overrides some generic vtime APIs, let it describe
      these on a dedicated and standalone header. This way it becomes
      convenient to include it in vtime generic headers without irrelevant
      stuff in such a low level header.
