[S390] irq: external interrupt code passing

2012-03-11T15:59:29+00:00

The external interrupt handlers have a parameter called ext_int_code.
Besides the name this paramter does not only contain the ext_int_code
but in addition also the "cpu address" (POP) which caused the external
interrupt.
To make the code a bit more obvious pass a struct instead so the called
function can easily distinguish between external interrupt code and
cpu address. The cpu address field however is named "subcode" since
some external interrupt sources do not pass a cpu address but a
different parameter (or none at all).

[S390] rework idle code

2012-03-11T15:59:28+00:00

Whenever the cpu loads an enabled wait PSW it will appear as idle to the
underlying host system. The code in default_idle calls vtime_stop_cpu
which does the necessary voodoo to get the cpu time accounting right.
The udelay code just loads an enabled wait PSW. To correct this rework
the vtime_stop_cpu/vtime_start_cpu logic and move the difficult parts
to entry[64].S, vtime_stop_cpu can now be called from anywhere and
vtime_start_cpu is gone. The correction of the cpu time during wakeup
from an enabled wait PSW is done with a critical section in entry[64].S.
As vtime_start_cpu is gone, s390_idle_check can be removed as well.

[S390] rework smp code

2012-03-11T15:59:28+00:00

Define struct pcpu and merge some of the NR_CPUS arrays into it, including
__cpu_logical_map, current_set and smp_cpu_state. Split smp related
functions to those operating on physical cpus and the functions operating
on a logical cpu number. Make the functions for physical cpus use a
pointer to a struct pcpu. This hides the knowledge about cpu addresses in
smp.c, entry[64].S and swsusp_asm64.S, thus remove the sigp.h header.

The PSW restart mechanism is used to start secondary cpus, calling a
function on an online cpu, calling a function on the ipl cpu, and for
the nmi signal. Replace the different assembler functions with a
single function restart_int_handler. The new entry point calls a function
whose pointer is stored in the lowcore of the target cpu and it can wait
for the source cpu to stop. This covers all existing use cases.

Overall the code is now simpler and there are ~380 lines less code.

[S390] cleanup psw related bits and pieces

2011-10-30T14:16:43+00:00

Split out addressing mode bits from PSW_BASE_BITS, rename PSW_BASE_BITS
to PSW_MASK_BASE, get rid of psw_user32_bits, remove unused function
enabled_wait(), introduce PSW_MASK_USER, and drop PSW_MASK_MERGE macros.
Change psw_kernel_bits / psw_user_bits to contain only the bits that
are always set in the respective mode.

[S390] irq: have detailed statistics for interrupt types

2011-01-05T11:47:25+00:00

Up to now /proc/interrupts only has statistics for external and i/o
interrupts but doesn't split up them any further.
This patch adds a line for every single interrupt source so that it
is possible to easier tell what the machine is/was doing.
Part of the output now looks like this;

[S390] nohz/s390: fix arch_needs_cpu() return value on offline cpus

2010-12-01T09:08:17+00:00

This fixes the same problem as described in the patch "nohz: fix
printk_needs_cpu() return value on offline cpus" for the arch_needs_cpu()
primitive:

arch_needs_cpu() may return 1 if called on offline cpus. When a cpu gets
offlined it schedules the idle process which, before killing its own cpu,
will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().
That function in turn will call arch_needs_cpu() in order to check if the
local tick can be disabled. On offline cpus this function should naturally
return 0 since regardless if the tick gets disabled or not the cpu will be
dead short after. That is besides the fact that __cpu_disable() should already
have made sure that no interrupts on the offlined cpu will be delivered anyway.

In this case it prevents tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to call
select_nohz_load_balancer(). No idea if that really is a problem. However what
made me debug this is that on 2.6.32 the function get_nohz_load_balancer() is
used within __mod_timer() to select a cpu on which a timer gets enqueued.
If arch_needs_cpu() returns 1 then the nohz_load_balancer cpu doesn't get
updated when a cpu gets offlined. It may contain the cpu number of an offline
cpu. In turn timers get enqueued on an offline cpu and not very surprisingly
they never expire and cause system hangs.

This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses
get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might
be other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
in case a cpu goes offline.

This specific bug was indrocuded with 3c5d92a0 "nohz: Introduce
arch_needs_cpu".

In this case a cpu hotplug notifier is used to fix the issue in order to keep
the normal/fast path small. All we need to do is to clear the condition that
makes arch_needs_cpu() return 1 since it is just a performance improvement
which is supposed to keep the local tick running for a short period if a cpu
goes idle. Nothing special needs to be done except for clearing the condition.
