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.

The current proc implementation of the /proc/sysinfo file writes all informations contained in all system information blocks to a single page. This is done by calling sprintf all the time in the expectation that everything will fit into a single page. This however is not necessarily true if the configuration of a machine is very large. So convert /proc/sysinfo to avoid writing into random memory regions. For readability reasons a couple of lines are longer than 80 characters.

Renaming the globally visible variable "user_mode" to "addressing_mode" in order to fix a name clash was not a good idea. (Commit 37fe1d73 "s390/mm: rename user_mode variable to addressing_mode") Looking at the code after a couple of weeks one thinks: addressing mode of what? So rename the variable again. This time to s390_user_mode. Which hopefully makes more sense. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

In some usage scenarios it is desireable to work with disk images or virtualized DASD devices. One problem that prevents such applications is the partition detection in ibm.c. Currently it works only for devices that support the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl, in other words, it only works for devices that belong to the DASD device driver. The information gained from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl is only for a small set of legacy cases abolutely necessary. All current VOL1, LNX1 and CMS1 type of disk labels can be interpreted correctly without this information, as long as the generic HDIO_GETGEO ioctl works and provides a correct disk geometry. This patch makes the ibm.c partition detection as independent as possible from the BIODASDINFO2 ioctl. Only the following two cases are still restricted to real DASDs: - An FBA DASD, or LDL formatted ECKD DASD without any disk label. - An old style LNX1 label (without large volume support) on a disk with inconsistent device geometry.

Change the default addressing mode so that user space runs in primary space and the kernel runs in home space. In addition remove the "switch_amode" kernel parameter so all users who already specified they want the new default behaviour will stay in the "switched" mode instead of in the opposite they intended. If there is a need to switch addressing modes, this can be done with the "user_mode" kernel parameter: user_mode=home Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

When a sigp instruction is issued it may store a status. This status is currently stored in a per cpu field of the target cpu. If multiple cpus issue a sigp instruction with the same target cpu and a status is stored the result is not necessarily as expected. Currently this is not an issue: - on cpu hotplug no sigps, except "restart" and "sense" are sent to the target cpu. - on external call we don't look at the status if it is stored - on sense running the condition code "status stored" is sufficient to tell if a cpu is running or not Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Add a line for each cpu cache to /proc/cpuinfo. Since we only have information of private cpu caches in sysfs we add a line for each cpu cache in /proc/cpuinfo which will also contain information about shared caches. For a z196 machine /proc/cpuinfo now looks like: vendor_id : IBM/S390 bogomips per cpu: 14367.00 features : esan3 zarch stfle msa ldisp eimm dfp etf3eh highgprs cache0 : level=1 type=Data scope=Private size=64K line_size=256 associativity=4 cache1 : level=1 type=Instruction scope=Private size=128K line_size=256 associativity=8 cache2 : level=2 type=Unified scope=Private size=1536K line_size=256 associativity=12 cache3 : level=3 type=Unified scope=Shared size=24576K line_size=256 associativity=12 cache4 : level=4 type=Unified scope=Shared size=196608K line_size=256 associativity=24 processor 0: version = FF, identification = 000123, machine = 2817 processor 1: version = FF, identification = 100123, machine = 2817 processor 2: version = FF, identification = 200123, machine = 2817 processor 3: version = FF, identification = 200123, machine = 2817 Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Allow user-space processes to use transactional execution (TX). If the TX facility is available user space programs can use transactions for fine-grained serialization based on the data objects that are referenced during a transaction. This is useful for lockless data structures and speculative compiler optimizations. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Allow user-space threads to use runtime instrumentation (RI). To enable RI for a thread there is a new s390 specific system call, sys_s390_runtime_instr, that takes as parameter a realtime signal number. If the RI facility is available the system call sets up a control block for the calling thread with the appropriate permissions for the thread to modify the control block. The user-space thread can then use the store and modify RI instructions to alter the control block and start/stop the instrumentation via RION/RIOFF. If the user specified program buffer runs full RI triggers an external interrupt. The external interrupt is translated to a real-time signal that is delivered to the thread that enabled RI on that CPU. The number of the real-time signal is the number specified in the RI system call. So, user-space can select any available real-time signal number in case the application itself uses real-time signals for other purposes. The kernel saves the RI control blocks on task switch only if the running thread was enabled for RI. Therefore, the performance impact on task switch should be negligible if RI is not used. RI is only enabled for user-space mode and is disabled for the supervisor state.

Expose cpu cache topology via sysfs. The created sysfs directory structure is compatible to what x86, ia64 and powerpc have. On s390 we expose only information about cpu caches which are private to a cpu via sysfs . Caches which are shared between cpus do not have a sysfs representation. The reason for that is that the file "shared_cpu_map" is mandatory and only if running under LPAR it is possible to tell which cpus share which cache. Second level hypervisors however do not and cannot expose that information to guests. In order to have a consistent view we made the choice to always only expose information about private cpu caches via sysfs. Example for a z196 cpu (cpu1 in /sys/devices/cpu): cpu1/cache/index0/size -- 64K cpu1/cache/index0/type -- Data cpu1/cache/index0/level -- 1 cpu1/cache/index0/number_of_sets -- 64 cpu1/cache/index0/shared_cpu_map -- 00000000,00000002 cpu1/cache/index0/shared_cpu_list -- 1 cpu1/cache/index0/coherency_line_size -- 256 cpu1/cache/index0/ways_of_associativity -- 4 cpu1/cache/index1/size -- 128K cpu1/cache/index1/type -- Instruction cpu1/cache/index1/level -- 1 cpu1/cache/index1/number_of_sets -- 64 cpu1/cache/index1/shared_cpu_map -- 00000000,00000002 cpu1/cache/index1/shared_cpu_list -- 1 cpu1/cache/index1/coherency_line_size -- 256 cpu1/cache/index1/ways_of_associativity -- 8 cpu1/cache/index2/size -- 1536K cpu1/cache/index2/type -- Unified cpu1/cache/index2/level -- 2 cpu1/cache/index2/number_of_sets -- 512 cpu1/cache/index2/shared_cpu_map -- 00000000,00000002 cpu1/cache/index2/shared_cpu_list -- 1 cpu1/cache/index2/coherency_line_size -- 256 cpu1/cache/index2/ways_of_associativity -- 12 Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Our memcpy and memcmp variants were implemented by calling the corresponding gcc builtin variants. However gcc is free to replace a call to __builtin_memcmp with a call to memcmp which, when called, will result in an endless recursion within memcmp. So let's provide asm variants and also fix the variants that are used for uncompressing the kernel image. In addition remove all other occurences of builtin function calls.

Pull more networking fixes from David Miller: 1) Eric Dumazet discovered and fixed what turned out to be a family of bugs. These functions were using pskb_may_pull() which might need to reallocate the linear SKB data buffer, but the callers were not expecting this possibility. The callers have cached pointers to the packet header areas, and would need to reload them if we were to continue using pskb_may_pull(). So they could end up reading garbage. It's easier to just change these RAW4/RAW6/MIP6 routines to use skb_header_pointer() instead of pskb_may_pull(), which won't modify the linear SKB data area. 2) Dave Jone's syscall spammer caught a case where a non-TCP socket can call down into the TCP keepalive code. The case basically involves creating a raw socket with sk_protocol == IPPROTO_TCP, then calling setsockopt(sock_fd, SO_KEEPALIVE, ...) Fixed by Eric Dumazet. 3) Bluetooth devices do not get configured properly while being powered on, resulting in always using legacy pairing instead of SSP. Fix from Andrzej Kaczmarek. 4) Bluetooth cancels delayed work erroneously, put stricter checks in place. From Andrei Emeltchenko. 5) Fix deadlock between cfg80211_mutex and reg_regdb_search_mutex in cfg80211, from Luis R. Rodriguez. 6) Fix interrupt double release in iwlwifi, from Emmanuel Grumbach. 7) Missing module license in bcm87xx driver, from Peter Huewe. 8) Team driver can lose port changed events when adding devices to a team, fix from Jiri Pirko. 9) Fix endless loop when trying ot unregister PPPOE device in zombie state, from Xiaodong Xu. 10) batman-adv layer needs to set MAC address of software device earlier, otherwise we call tt_local_add with it uninitialized. 11) Fix handling of KSZ8021 PHYs, it's matched currently by KS8051 but that doesn't program the device properly.
