The IRB might be 96 bytes if the extended-I/O-measurement facility is used. This feature is currently not used by Linux, but struct irb already has the emw defined. So let's make the irb in lowcore match the size of the internal data structure to be future proof. We also have to add a pad, to correctly align the paste. The bigger irb field also circumvents a bug in some QEMU versions that always write the emw field on test subchannel and therefore destroy the paste definitions of this CPU. Running under these QEMU version broke some timing functions in the VDSO and all users of these functions, e.g. some JREs.

Remove the check for the extract-cpu-time facility within early startup code. Both kernel and user space work if the facility is not installed. The vdso code has a run time check if the ectg is available. Besides that there is no known user.

Martin Schwidefsky authored
The out of line _raw_read_lock_wait_flags/_raw_write_lock_wait_flags functions for the arch_read_lock_flags/arch_write_lock_flags calls fail to re-enable the interrupts after another unsuccessful try to get the lock with compare-and-swap. The following wait would be done with interrupts disabled which is suboptimal. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

In case a lock is contended it is better to do a load-and-test first before trying to get the lock with compare-and-swap. This helps to avoid unnecessary cache invalidations of the cacheline for the lock if the CPU has to wait for the lock. For an uncontended lock doing the compare-and-swap directly is a bit better, if the CPU does not have the cacheline in its cache yet the compare-and-swap will get it read-write immediately while a load-and-test would get it read-only first. Always to the load-and-test first to avoid the cacheline invalidations for the contended case outweight the potential read-only to read-write cacheline upgrade for the uncontended case.

This shortens the code by ~17k (performace_defconfig, march=z196). The number of exception table entries however increases from 164 entries to 2500 entries (+~18k).

Always switch to the kernel ASCE in switch_mm. Load the secondary space ASCE in finish_arch_post_lock_switch after checking that any pending page table operations have completed. The primary ASCE is loaded in entry[64].S. With this the update_primary_asce call can be removed from the switch_to macro and from the start of switch_mm function.

Currently the smp_stop_cpu() function for SMP kernels enters a busy loop when "begin" is entered on the z/VM console after Linux is halted. To avoid this behavior, use the non-SMP variant of smp_stop_cpu() which stops the CPU again after "begin" is entered. As a side effect we now have consistent behavior for SMP and non-SMP Linux.

Refactor the memblock code and extend the memblock API to make it more flexible. With the extended API it is simple to define and work with additional memory lists. The static functions memblock_add_region and __memblock_remove are renamed to memblock_add_range and meblock_remove_range and added to the memblock API. The __next_free_mem_range and __next_free_mem_range_rev functions are replaced with calls to the more generic list walkers __next_mem_range and __next_mem_range_rev. To walk an arbitrary memory list two new macros for_each_mem_range and for_each_mem_range_rev are added. These new macros are used to define for_each_free_mem_range and for_each_free_mem_range_reverse.

Pull parisc fixes from Helge Deller: "There are two patches in here: The first patch greatly improves latency and corrects the memory ordering in our light-weight atomic locking syscall. The second patch ratelimits printing of userspace segfaults in the same way as it's done on other platforms. This fixes a possible DOS on parisc since it prevents the syslog to grow too fast. For example, when the debian acl2 package was built on our debian buildd servers, this package produced lots of gigabytes in syslog in very short time and thus filled our harddisks, which then turned the server nearly completely unaccessible and unresponsive" * 'parisc-3.15-4' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/deller/parisc-linux: parisc: Improve LWS-CAS performance parisc: ratelimit userspace segfault printing

The attached change significantly improves the performance of the LWS-CAS code in syscall.S. This allows a number of packages to build (e.g., zeromq3, gtest and libxs) that previously failed because slow LWS-CAS performance under contention. In particular, interrupts taken while the lock was taken degraded performance significantly. The change does the following: 1) Disables interrupts around the CAS operation, and 2) Changes the loads and stores to use the ordered completer, "o", on PA 2.0. "o" and "ma" with a zero offset are equivalent. The latter is accepted on both PA 1.X and 2.0. The use of ordered loads and stores probably makes no difference on all existing hardware, but it seemed pedantically correct. In particular, the CAS operation must complete before LDCW lock is released. As written before, a processor could reorder the operations. I don't believe the period interrupts are disabled is long enough to significantly increase interrupt latency. For example, the TLB insert code is longer. Worst case is a memory fault in the CAS operation. Signed-off-by: John David Anglin <dave.anglin@bell.net> Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.13+ Signed-off-by: Helge Deller <deller@gmx.de>
