PSW32_USER_BITS should define the primary address space for user space instead of the home address space. Symptom of this bug is that gdb doesn't work in compat mode. The bug was introduced with e258d719 "s390/uaccess: always run the kernel in home space" and f26946d7 "s390/compat: make psw32_user_bits a constant value again".

When calling set_{on,off}line of a ccwgroup device driver we hold the module reference of the owner. This is pretty useless - we don't want to prevent module unloading but driver unbinding. Use the driver core's device_lock instead. Reviewed-by:Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

Add the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag to process only sample-data-blocks that have the block-full-indicator bit set. Sample-data-blocks that are partially filled are discarded. Use this flag if the sampling buffer is likely to be shared among perf events that use different sampling modes. In such environments, flushing sample-data-blocks that are not completely filled, might cause invalid-data-formats. Setting PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS prevents potentially invalid sampling data to be processed but, in contrast, also discards valid samples in partially filled sample-data-blocks. Note that sample-data-blocks might not become full for small sampling frequencies or for workload that is scheduled for tiny intervals. To sample with the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag, set the perf->attr.config1 to 0x0004. For example: perf record -e cpum_sf/config=0xB000,config1=0x0004/ Signed-off-by:

Also support the diagnostic-sampling function in addition to the basic-sampling function. Diagnostic-sampling data entries contain hardware model specific sampling data and additional programs are required to analyze the data. To deliver diagnostic-sampling, as well, as basis-sampling data entries to user space, introduce support for sampling "raw data". If this particular perf sampling type (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW) is used, sampling data entries are copied to user space. External programs can then analyze these data. Signed-off-by:

The host-program-parameter (hpp) value of basic sample-data-entries designates a SIE control block that is set by the LPP instruction in sie64a(). Non-zero values indicate guest samples, a value of zero indicates a host sample. For perf samples, host and guest samples are distinguished using particular PERF_MISC_* flags. The perf layer calls perf_misc_flags() to set the flags based on the pt_regs content. For each sample-data-entry, the cpum_sf PMU creates a pt_regs structure with the sample-data information. An additional flag structure is added to easily distinguish between host and guest samples. Signed-off-by:

Improve the sampling buffer allocation and add a function to reallocate and increase the sampling buffer structure. The number of allocated buffer elements (sample-data-blocks) are accounted. You can control the minimum and maximum number these sample-data-blocks through the cpum_sfb_size kernel parameter. The number hardware sample overflows (if any) are also accounted and stored per perf event. During the PMU disable/enable calls, the accumulated overflow counter is analyzed and, if necessary, the sampling buffer is dynamically increased. Signed-off-by:

The early sclp detect functions gather the available SCLP facility information. The sclp_early_read_info_sccb_valid indicates whether the early sclp request was valid. However, one external reference to it checks for particular sclp facility bits and this should be sufficient. Another occurance is in the sclp_get_ipl_info() function that is called later. Because all information are available at the early stage, save the ipl information when detecting the sclp facilities. Hence, no more checks for sclp_early_read_info_sccb_valid are required.

Subchannel looping function for_each_subchannel_staged() allocates a subchannel-ID-bitmap to efficiently iterate over the list of known and unknown subchannels. Since this function is also used to iterate over known-subchannels only, optimize that case by not requiring the ID-bitmap allocation and falling back to simple bus_for_each_dev() looping.

The CIO layer scans for newly available I/O devices by performing a scan of available subchannels using the Store Subchannel (STSCH) instruction. Performing too many STSCH instructions in a tight loop can cause high Hypervisor overhead which can negatively impact the performance of the virtual machine as a whole. A subchannel scan is triggered for example during a hardware event that indicates that a channel path has become available. It is also triggered by the DASD device driver for each device that is set online. This patch reduces the number of STSCH instructions being performed by delaying the start of the actual subchannel scan by 1 second. Multiple scan requests that are scheduled during this time will be merged into a single scan loop. The trade-off consists of a short delay that is introduced between the time that the event is processed and a newly available device becoming usable. This delay should be acceptable since it only affects devices that have not been in use before. Signed-off-by:

The CIO layer scans for newly available I/O devices by performing a scan of available subchannels using the Store Subchannel (STSCH) instruction. This processing can take a significant amount of time during which no other task can run on the same CPU (unless CONFIG_PREEMPT has been enabled). As a result, scheduling latencies for other tasks are increased noticeably, especially on a single-CPU system. Fix this problem by explicitly allowing other tasks to be scheduled each time a subchannel has been processed. Signed-off-by:

The CIO layer processes hardware events that indicate that a channel path has become available by performing a scan of available subchannels using the Store Subchannel (STSCH) instruction. Performing too many STSCH instructions in a tight loop can cause high Hypervisor overhead which can negatively impact the performance of the virtual machine as a whole. This patch reduces the number of STSCH instructions performed while processing a resource accessibility event and while varying a CHPID online. In both cases, Linux first performs a STSCH instruction on each unused subchannel to see if the subchannel has become available. If the STSCH instruction indicates that the subchannel is available, a full evaluation of this subchannel is scheduled. Since the full evaluation includes performing a STSCH instruction, the initial STSCH is unnecessary and can be removed. Signed-off-by:
