2007-07-10	[S390] Bogomips calculation for 64 bit.	Martin Schwidefsky	1	-2/+2
	The bogomips calculation triggered via reading from /proc/cpuinfo can return incorrect values if the qrnnd assembly is called with a pointer in %r2 with any of the upper 32 bits set. Fix this by using 64 bit division / remainder operation provided by gcc instead of calling the assembly. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2007-04-25	[S390]: Fix build on 31-bit.	David S. Miller	1	-1/+1
	Allow s390 to properly override the generic __div64_32() implementation by: 1) Using obj-y for div64.o in s390's makefile instead of lib-y 2) Adding the weak attribute to the generic implementation. Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
2007-02-05	[S390] Calibrate delay and bogomips.	Martin Schwidefsky	1	-1/+1
	Preset the bogomips number to the cpu capacity value reported by store system information in SYSIB 1.2.2. This value is constant for a particular machine model and can be used to determine relative performance differences between machines. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2006-12-04	[S390] Add dynamic size check for usercopy functions.	Gerald Schaefer	1	-1/+1
	Use a wrapper for copy_to/from_user to chose the best usercopy method. The mvcos instruction is better for sizes greater than 256 bytes, if mvcos is not available a page table walk is better for sizes greater than 1024 bytes. Also removed the redundant copy_to/from_user_std_small functions. Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <geraldsc@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2006-09-28	[S390] __div64_32 for 31 bit.	Martin Schwidefsky	1	-0/+1
	The clocksource infrastructure introduced with commit ad596171ed635c51a9eef829187af100cbf8dcf7 broke 31 bit s390. The reason is that the do_div() primitive for 31 bit always had a restriction: it could only divide an unsigned 64 bit integer by an unsigned 31 bit integer. The clocksource code now uses do_div() with a base value that has the most significant bit set. The result is that clock->cycle_interval has a funny value which causes the linux time to jump around like mad. The solution is "obvious": implement a proper __div64_32 function for 31 bit s390.

2006-09-20	[S390] Use alternative user-copy operations for new hardware.	Gerald Schaefer	1	-0/+1
	This introduces new user-copy operations which are optimized for copying more than 256 Bytes on new hardware. Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <geraldsc@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2006-09-20	[S390] Make user-copy operations run-time configurable.	Gerald Schaefer	1	-2/+1
	Introduces a struct uaccess_ops which allows setting user-copy operations at run-time. Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <geraldsc@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2006-02-01	[PATCH] s390: Remove CVS generated information	Heiko Carstens	1	-1/+1
	- Remove all CVS generated information like e.g. revision IDs from drivers/s390 and include/asm-s390 (none present in arch/s390). - Add newline at end of arch/s390/lib/Makefile to avoid diff message.

2006-01-14	[PATCH] s390: spinlock fixes	Martin Schwidefsky	1	-1/+2

2006-01-06	[PATCH] s390: cleanup Kconfig	Martin Schwidefsky	1	-3/+2
	Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options. We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X, ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT. Replace these 6 options by S390, 64BIT and COMPAT.

2005-07-27	[PATCH] s390: spin lock retry	Martin Schwidefsky	1	-2/+2
	Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of retries before a cpu is yielded. The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is 1000.

2005-04-16	Linux-2.6.12-rc2	Linus Torvalds	1	-0/+9
	Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
