s390/cache: add cpu cache information to /proc/cpuinfo

2012-09-26T13:45:03+00:00

Add a line for each cpu cache to /proc/cpuinfo.
Since we only have information of private cpu caches in sysfs we
add a line for each cpu cache in /proc/cpuinfo which will also
contain information about shared caches.

For a z196 machine /proc/cpuinfo now looks like:

vendor_id       : IBM/S390
bogomips per cpu: 14367.00
features        : esan3 zarch stfle msa ldisp eimm dfp etf3eh highgprs

cache2          : level=2 type=Unified scope=Private size=1536K line_size=256 associativity=12
cache3          : level=3 type=Unified scope=Shared size=24576K line_size=256 associativity=12

s390: add support for transactional memory

2012-09-26T13:45:02+00:00

Allow user-space processes to use transactional execution (TX).
If the TX facility is available user space programs can use
transactions for fine-grained serialization based on the data
objects that are referenced during a transaction. This is
useful for lockless data structures and speculative compiler
optimizations.

s390: add support for runtime instrumentation

2012-09-26T13:45:02+00:00

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.
