2015-06-25s390/kdump: fix nosmt kernel parameterMichael Holzheu1-4/+17
It turned out that SIGP set-multi-threading can only be done once. Therefore switching to a different MT level after switching to sclp.mtid_prev in the dump case fails. As a symptom specifying the "nosmt" parameter currently fails for the kdump kernel and the kernel starts with multi-threading enabled. So fix this and issue diag 308 subcode 1 call after collecting the CPU states for the dump. Also enhance the diag308_reset() function to be usable also with enabled lowcore protection and prefix register != 0. After the reset it is possible to switch the MT level again. We have to do the reset very early in order not to kill the already initialized console. Therefore instead of kmalloc() the corresponding memblock functions have to be used. To avoid copying the sclp cpu code into sclp_early, we now use the simple sigp loop method for CPU detection.

2015-03-25s390: remove 31 bit supportHeiko Carstens1-76/+0
Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel. The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit code. We didn't get any response. Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's remove the code. Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

2015-01-22s390: add SMT supportMartin Schwidefsky1-1/+2
The multi-threading facility is introduced with the z13 processor family. This patch adds code to detect the multi-threading facility. With the facility enabled each core will surface multiple hardware threads to the system. Each hardware threads looks like a normal CPU to the operating system with all its registers and properties. The SCLP interface reports the SMT topology indirectly via the maximum thread id. Each reported CPU in the result of a read-scp-information is a core representing a number of hardware threads. To reflect the reduced CPU capacity if two hardware threads run on a single core the MT utilization counter set is used to normalize the raw cputime obtained by the CPU timer deltas. This scaled cputime is reported via the taskstats interface. The normal /proc/stat numbers are based on the raw cputime and are not affected by the normalization.

2012-07-20s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file namesHeiko Carstens1-1/+1
Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless. Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly different statements and wanted to change them one after another whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template for new files. So unify all of them in one go. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
2012-06-05s390/sigp: use sigp order code defines in assembly codeHeiko Carstens1-1/+2
Use sigp order code defines in assembly code as well. With this change all places that use sigp constants should have been converted to use self describing defines instead of directly using constants.

2012-05-23s390/kdump: Use real mode for PSW restart and kexecMichael Holzheu1-0/+12
Currently the PSW restart handler and kexec are executed in real mode with DAT=off. For kexec/kdump the function setup_regs() is called that uses the per-cpu variable "crash_notes". Because there are situations when the per-cpu implementation uses vmalloc memory, calling setup_regs() in real mode can cause a program check interrupt. To fix that problem this patch changes the following: * Ensure that diag308_reset() does not change PSW bits to real mode * Enable DAT in __do_restart() after we switched to an online CPU * Enable DAT in __machine_kexec() after we switched to the IPL CPU * Call setup_regs() before we switch to real mode and call purgatory Reviewed-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2011-12-27[S390] entry[64].S improvementsMartin Schwidefsky1-8/+8
Another round of cleanup for entry[64].S, in particular the program check handler looks more reasonable now. The code size for the 31 bit kernel has been reduced by 616 byte and by 528 byte for the 64 bit version. Even better the code is a bit faster as well.

2011-08-03[S390] Use diagnose 308 for system resetMichael Holzheu1-0/+36
The diagnose 308 call is the prefered method for clearing all ongoing I/O. Therefore if it is available we use it instead of doing a manual reset. Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
2011-07-24[S390] fix s390 assembler code alignmentsJan Glauber1-12/+13
The alignment is missing for various global symbols in s390 assembly code. With a recent gcc and an instruction like stgrl this can lead to a specification exception if the instruction uses such a mis-aligned address. Specify the alignment explicitely and while add it define __ALIGN for s390 and use the ENTRY define to save some lines of code.

2010-02-26[S390] Cleanup struct _lowcore usage and defines.Heiko Carstens1-1/+1
Use asm offsets to make sure the offset defines to struct _lowcore and its layout don't get out of sync. Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON() which checks that the size of the structure is sane. And while being at it change those sites which use odd casts to access the current lowcore. These should use S390_lowcore instead.

2007-02-05[S390] Convert memory detection into C code.Heiko Carstens1-0/+150
Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone. Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an early call to sort_main_extable(). This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of head[31|64].S into C code.
