2015-02-10s390/process: free vx save area when releasing tasksHendrik Brueckner1-0/+8

2013-10-24s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control registerMartin Schwidefsky1-4/+9
The FPC_VALID_MASK has been used to check the validity of the value to be loaded into the floating-point-control register. With the introduction of the floating-point extension facility and the decimal-floating-point additional bits have been defined which need to be checked in a non straight forward way. So far these bits have been ignored which can cause an incorrect results for decimal- floating-point operations, e.g. an incorrect rounding mode to be set after signal return. The static check with the FPC_VALID_MASK is replaced with a trial load of the floating-point-control value, see test_fp_ctl. In addition an information leak with the padding word between the floating-point-control word and the floating-point registers in the s390_fp_regs is fixed.

2012-09-26s390: add support for runtime instrumentationJan Glauber1-0/+7
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.

2012-07-20s390/vtimer: rework virtual timer interfaceMartin Schwidefsky1-1/+1
The current virtual timer interface is inherently per-cpu and hard to use. The sole user of the interface is appldata which uses it to execute a function after a specific amount of cputime has been used over all cpus. Rework the virtual timer interface to hook into the cputime accounting. This makes the interface independent from the CPU timer interrupts, and makes the virtual timers global as opposed to per-cpu. Overall the code is greatly simplified. The downside is that the accuracy is not as good as the original implementation, but it is still good enough for appldata.

2012-03-11[S390] rework idle codeMartin Schwidefsky1-6/+1
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.

Avoid calling wake_up() from our NMI "bottom halve" from RCU extended quiescent state in idle. wake_up() has RCU read-side critical sections but this will be completely ignored by RCU if the cpu is in extended quiescent state. Which means that whatever object is being accessed from within the read-side critical section can be freed concurrently from a different cpu.

2011-12-11nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stopFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after the tick is stopped. To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs: tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu(). If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit(). Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly: - rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put to sleep. - rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken up.

2011-12-11nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logicFrederic Weisbecker1-2/+2
The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two places: - From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode - From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in case the irq changed some internal state that requires this action. There are only few minor differences between both that are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended quiescent state from idle loop entry only. Split this function into: - tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU extended quiescent state. - tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called). To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed into tick_nohz_idle_exit(). This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle loop.

This is because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to copy_strings_kernel(). A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel(). do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as const should be fine.

Prepare for this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those headers directly instead of assuming availability. As this conversion needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is used as the basis of conversion. http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py The script does the followings. * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that only the necessary includes are there. ie. if only gfp is used, gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h. * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms to its surrounding. It's put in the include block which contains core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered - alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there doesn't seem to be any matching order. * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the file. The conversion was done in the following steps. 1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h and ~3000 slab.h inclusions. The script emitted errors for ~400 files. 2. Each error was manually checked. Some didn't need the inclusion, some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or embedding .c file was more appropriate for others. This step added inclusions to around 150 files. 3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits from #2 to make sure no file was left behind. 4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed. e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually. 5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell. Most gfp.h inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros. Each slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as necessary. 6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h. 7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures were fixed. CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq). * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config. * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig * ia64 SMP allmodconfig * s390 SMP allmodconfig * alpha SMP allmodconfig * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig 8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as a separate patch and serve as bisection point. Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step 6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch. If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of the specific arch.

* remove asm/atomic.h inclusion from linux/utsname.h -- not needed after kref conversion * remove linux/utsname.h inclusion from files which do not need it NOTE: it looks like fs/binfmt_elf.c do not need utsname.h, however due to some personality stuff it _is_ needed -- cowardly leave ELF-related headers and files alone.
