[S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts

2011-05-23T08:24:29+00:00

On cpu hot remove a PFAULT CANCEL command is sent to the hypervisor
which in turn will cancel all outstanding pfault requests that have
been issued on that cpu (the same happens with a SIGP cpu reset).

The result is that we end up with uninterruptible processes where
the interrupt that would wake up these processes never arrives.

In order to solve this all processes which wait for a pfault
completion interrupt get woken up after a cpu hot remove. The worst
case that could happen is that they fault again and in turn need to
wait again.

s390: remove task_show_regs

2011-02-15T15:34:16+00:00

task_show_regs used to be a debugging aid in the early bringup days
of Linux on s390. /proc//status is a world readable file, it
is not a good idea to show the registers of a process. The only
correct fix is to remove task_show_regs.

[S390] smp: remove cpu hotplug messages

2011-01-05T11:47:31+00:00

Get rid of messages that indicate if a cpu went online or offline.
There is nothing special about this anymore and these messages might
flood the kernel log buffer which makes debugging harder since more
important messages might be overwritten.

[S390] remove ieee_instruction_pointer from thread_struct

2010-10-25T14:10:20+00:00

The ieee_instruction_pointer can not be read from user space anymore
since git commit 613e1def6b52c399a8b72a5e11bc2e57d2546fb8, the ptrace
interface always returns zero. Remove it from the thread_struct. It
is still present in the user_regs_struct for compatability reasons.

[S390] use inline assembly contraints available with gcc 3.3.3

2010-02-26T21:37:30+00:00

Drop support to compile the kernel with gcc versions older than 3.3.3.
This allows us to use the "Q" inline assembly contraint on some more
inline assemblies without duplicating a lot of complex code (e.g. __xchg
and __cmpxchg). The distinction for older gcc versions can be removed
which saves a few lines and simplifies the code.

[S390] s390: move machine flags to lowcore

2009-04-14T13:37:21+00:00

Currently the storage of the machine flags is a globally exported unsigned
long long variable. By moving the storage location into the lowcore struct we
allow assembler code to check machine_flags directly even without needing a
register. Addtionally the lowcore and therefore the machine flags too will be
in cache most of the time.
