2009-03-26[S390] Ensure that ipl panic notifier is called late.Michael Holzheu
The s390 ipl panic notifier will stop the system or trigger a system dump. This should be done as final action on the panic path. All other panic notifiers should be executed before. Currently we use priority 0 for the ipl notifier. In order to be called late, this patch changes the priority to INT_MIN which is the lowest possible priority.

2009-03-26[S390] fix dfp elf hwcap/facility bit detectionChristian Ehrhardt
The old dfp detection wanted to check bit 43 (dfp high performance), but due to a wrong calculation always used to check bit 42. Additionally the "userspace expectation" is, that the dfp capability bit is set is if facility bit 42 (decimal floating point facility available) and bit 44 (perform floating point operation facility avail). The patch fixes the bit calculation and extends the check to work like: elf hw cap dfp bit = facility bits 42 (dfp) & 44 (pfpo) available Signed-off-by: Christian Ehrhardt <ehrhardt@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2009-03-26[S390] Fix hypervisor detection for KVMChristian Borntraeger
Currently we use the cpuid (via STIDP instruction) to recognize LPAR, z/VM and KVM. The architecture states, that bit 0-7 of STIDP returns all zero, and if STIDP is executed in a virtual machine, the VM operating system will replace bits 0-7 with FF. KVM should not use FE to distinguish z/VM from KVM for interested guests. The proper way to detect the hypervisor is the STSI (Store System Information) instruction, which return information about the hypervisors via function code 3, selector1=2, selector2=2. This patch changes the detection routine of Linux to use STSI instead of STIDP. This detection is earlier than bootmem, we have to use a static buffer. Since STSI expects a 4kb block (4kb aligned) this patch also changes the init.data alignment for s390. As this section will be freed during boot, this should be no problem. Patch is tested with LPAR, z/VM, KVM on LPAR, and KVM under z/VM. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2009-01-23[S390] cputime: fix lowcore initialization on cpu hotplugHeiko Carstens
On (initial) cpu hotplug the lowcore values for user_timer and system_timer don't get initialized like they would get on each process schedule. On initial start of secondary cpus this leads to the situation where per thread user/system_timer values are larger than the corresponding contents of the lowcore. When later calculating time spent in user/system context the result can be negative. So for cpu hotplug we should manually initialize lowcore values.

2009-01-23[S390] fix compat sigaltstack syscall table entryMichael Holzheu
When 31 bit user space programs call sigaltstack on a 64 bit Linux OS, the system call returns -1 with errno=EFAULT. The 31 bit pointer passed to the system call is extended to 64 bit, but the high order bits are not set to zero. The kernel detects the invalid user space pointer and returns -EFAULT. To solve the problem, sys32_sigaltstack_wrapper() instead of sys32_sigaltstack() has to be called. The wrapper function sets the high order bits to zero.

2008-12-31[PATCH] fast vdso implementation for CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_IDMartin Schwidefsky
The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.

2008-12-31[PATCH] improve idle cputime accountingMartin Schwidefsky
Distinguish the cputime of the idle process where idle is actually using cpu cycles from the cputime where idle is sleeping on an enabled wait psw. The former is accounted as system time, the later as idle time. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
