s390/module: enable generic CPU feature modalias using s390 ELF hwcaps

2015-07-22T07:58:02+00:00

Add support for the generic CPU feature modalias implementation that wires
up optional CPU features to udev-based module autoprobing.

The  file provides definitions to map CPU features to
s390 ELF hardware capabilities.

s390/ftrace: fix crashes when switching tracers / add notrace to cpu_relax()

2015-03-02T19:35:53+00:00

With git commit 4d92f50249eb ("s390: reintroduce diag 44 calls for
cpu_relax()") I reintroduced a non-trivial cpu_relax() variant on s390.

The difference to the previous variant however is that the new version is
an out-of-line function, which will be traced if function tracing is enabled.

Switching to different tracers includes instruction patching. Therefore this
is done within stop_machine() "context" to prevent that any function tracing
is going on while instructions are being patched.
With the new out-of-line variant of cpu_relax() this is not true anymore,
since cpu_relax() gets called in a busy loop by all waiting cpus within
stop_machine() until function patching is finished.
Therefore cpu_relax() must be marked notrace.

This fixes kernel crashes when frequently switching between "function" and
"function_graph" tracers.

Moving cpu_relax() to a header file again, doesn't work because of header
include order dependencies.

s390: reintroduce diag 44 calls for cpu_relax()

2015-01-29T08:19:16+00:00

Christian Borntraeger reported that the now missing diag 44 calls (voluntary
time slice end) does cause a performance regression for stop_machine() calls
if a machine has more virtual cpus than the host has physical cpus.

This patch mainly reverts 57f2ffe14fd125c2 ("s390: remove diag 44 calls from
cpu_relax()") with the exception that we still do not issue diag 44 calls if
running with smt enabled. Due to group scheduling algorithms when running in
LPAR this would lead to significant latencies.
However, when running in LPAR we do not have more virtual than physical cpus.

Merge branch 'for-3.18-consistent-ops' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tj/percpu

2014-10-15T05:48:18+00:00

Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
"Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
and had their own accessors. The distinction has been gone for many
years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
operations over time. During the process, we also accumulated other
inconsistent operations.

This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
duplicate accessor situation. __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

This converts most of the uses but not all. Christoph will follow up
with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
remove the obsolete accessors"

s390: add support for vector extension

2014-10-09T07:14:13+00:00

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.

s390/vtime: do not reset idle data on CPU hotplug

2014-10-09T07:13:58+00:00

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.

s390: Replace __get_cpu_var uses

2014-08-26T17:45:52+00:00

__get_cpu_var() is used for multiple purposes in the kernel source. One of
them is address calculation via the form &__get_cpu_var(x).  This calculates
the address for the instance of the percpu variable of the current processor
based on an offset.

Other use cases are for storing and retrieving data from the current
processors percpu area.  __get_cpu_var() can be used as an lvalue when
writing data or on the right side of an assignment.

__get_cpu_var() is defined as :

#define __get_cpu_var(var) (*this_cpu_ptr(&(var)))

__get_cpu_var() always only does an address determination. However, store
and retrieve operations could use a segment prefix (or global register on
other platforms) to avoid the address calculation.

this_cpu_write() and this_cpu_read() can directly take an offset into a
percpu area and use optimized assembly code to read and write per cpu
variables.

This patch converts __get_cpu_var into either an explicit address
calculation using this_cpu_ptr() or into a use of this_cpu operations that
use the offset.  Thereby address calculations are avoided and less registers
are used when code is generated.

At the end of the patch set all uses of __get_cpu_var have been removed so
the macro is removed too.

The patch set includes passes over all arches as well. Once these operations
are used throughout then specialized macros can be defined in non -x86
arches as well in order to optimize per cpu access by f.e.  using a global
register that may be set to the per cpu base.

Transformations done to __get_cpu_var()

1. Determine the address of the percpu instance of the current processor.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int *x = &__get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(&y);

2. Same as #1 but this time an array structure is involved.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y[20]);
	int *x = __get_cpu_var(y);

    Converts to

	int *x = this_cpu_ptr(y);

3. Retrieve the content of the current processors instance of a per cpu
variable.

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	int x = __get_cpu_var(y)

   Converts to

	int x = __this_cpu_read(y);

4. Retrieve the content of a percpu struct

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(struct mystruct, y);
	struct mystruct x = __get_cpu_var(y);

   Converts to

	memcpy(&x, this_cpu_ptr(&y), sizeof(x));

5. Assignment to a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y)
	__get_cpu_var(y) = x;

   Converts to

	this_cpu_write(y, x);

6. Increment/Decrement etc of a per cpu variable

	DEFINE_PER_CPU(int, y);
	__get_cpu_var(y)++

   Converts to

	this_cpu_inc(y)

s390: delete __cpuinit usage from all s390 files

2013-07-14T23:36:53+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/s390 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  Currently s390 does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.

s390/cache: add cpu cache information to /proc/cpuinfo

2012-09-26T13:45:03+00:00

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.
