31 bit and 64 bit diverge more and more and it is rather painful to keep both parts running. To make things simpler just remove the 31 bit support which nobody uses anyway. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

With this patch for kdump the s390 vector registers are stored into the prepared save areas in the old kernel and into the REGSET_VX_LOW and REGSET_VX_HIGH ELF notes for /proc/vmcore in the new kernel. The NT_S390_VXRS_LOW note contains the lower halves of the first 16 vector registers 0-15. The higher halves are stored in the floating point register ELF note. The NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH contains the full vector registers 16-31. The kernel provides a save area for storing vector register in case of machine checks. A pointer to this save are is stored in the CPU lowcore at offset 0x11b0. This save area is also used to save the registers for kdump. In case of a dumped crashed kdump those areas are used to extract the registers of the production system. The vector registers for remote CPUs are stored using the "store additional status at address" SIGP. For the dump CPU the vector registers are stored with the VSTM instruction. With this patch also zfcpdump stores the vector registers.

The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of instruction to operate on the vector registers. The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers. Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

The sysfs attributes /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/idle_count and /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/idle_time_us are reset to zero every time a CPU is set online. The idle and iowait fields in /proc/stat corresponding to idle_time_us are not reset. To make things consistent do not reset the data for the sys attributes.

Fix calculation to decide if a 4-level kernel page table is required. Git commit c972cc60 "s390/vmalloc: have separate modules area" added the separate module area which reduces the size of the vmalloc area but fails to take it into account for the 3 vs 4 level page table decision.

If the vmemmap array gets filled with large pages we allocate those pages with vmemmap_alloc_block(), which returns cleared pages. Only for single 4k pages we call our own vmem_alloc_pages() which does not return cleared pages. However we can also call vmemmap_alloc_block() to allocate the 4k pages. This way we can also make sure the vmemmap array is cleared after its population. Therefore we can remove the memset at the end of the function which would clear the vmmemmap array a second time on machines which do support EDAT1. On very large configurations this can save us several seconds. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

The event type masks can change asynchronously. These changes are reported by SCLP to the OS by state-change events which are retrieved with the read event data command. The SCLP driver has a request queue, there is a window where the read event data request has not completed yet but the SCLP console drivers are trying to queue output requests. As the masks are not updated yet the requests are discarded. The simplest fix is to queue the console requests independent of the event type masks and rely on SCLP to return with an error code if a specific event type is not available.

Use a memory barrier + store sequence instead of a load + compare and swap sequence to unlock a spinlock and an rw lock. For the spinlock case this saves us two memory reads and a not needed cpu serialization after the compare and swap instruction stored the new value. The kernel size (performance_defconfig) gets reduced by ~14k. Average execution time of a tight inlined spin_unlock loop drops from 5.8ns to 0.7ns on a zEC12 machine. An artificial stress test case where several counters are protected with a single spinlock and which are only incremented while holding the spinlock shows ~30% improvement on a 4 cpu machine.

Reduce the number of executed instructions within the mcount block if function tracing is enabled. We achieve that by using a non-standard C function call ABI. Since the called function is also written in assembler this is not a problem. This also allows to replace the unconditional store at the beginning of the mcount block with a larl instruction, which doesn't touch memory. In theory we could also patch the first instruction of the mcount block to enable and disable function tracing. However this would break kprobes. This could be fixed with implementing the "kprobes_on_ftrace" feature; however keeping the odd jprobes working seems not to be possible without a lot of code churn. Therefore keep the code easy and simply accept one wasted 1-cycle "larl" instruction per function prologue.

We have too many combinations for function tracing. Lets simply stick to the most advanced option, so we don't have to care of other combinations. This means we always select DYNAMIC_FTRACE if FUNCTION_TRACER is selected. In the s390 Makefile also remove CONFIG_FTRACE_SYSCALLS since that functionality got moved to architecture independent code in the meantime.

This code is based on a patch from Vojtech Pavlik. http://marc.info/?l=linux-s390&m=140438885114413&w=2 The actual implementation now differs significantly: Instead of adding a second function "ftrace_regs_caller" which would be nearly identical to the existing ftrace_caller function, the current ftrace_caller function is now an alias to ftrace_regs_caller and always passes the needed pt_regs structure and function_trace_op parameters unconditionally. Besides that also use asm offsets to correctly allocate and access the new struct pt_regs on the stack. While at it we can make use of new instruction to get rid of some indirect loads if compiled for new machines. The passed struct pt_regs can be changed by the called function and it's new contents will replace the current contents. Note: to change the return address the embedded psw member of the pt_regs structure must be changed. The psw member is right now incomplete, since the mask part is missing. For all current use cases this should be sufficent. Providing and restoring a sane mask would mean we need to add an epsw/lpswe pair to the mcount code. Only these two instruction would cost us ~120 cycles which currently seems not necessary.

When the function graph tracer is disabled we can skip three additional instructions. So let's just do this. So if function tracing is enabled but function graph tracing is runtime disabled, we get away with a single unconditional branch.

Currently the march flag gets only passed to C files, but not to assembler files. This means that we can't add new instructions like e.g. aghik to asm files, since the assembler doesn't know of the new instructions if the appropriate march flag isn't specified.
