[S390] cleanup trap handling

2011-12-27T10:27:12+00:00

Move the program interruption code and the translation exception identifier
to the pt_regs structure as 'int_code' and 'int_parm_long' and make the
first level interrupt handler in entry[64].S store the two values. That
makes it possible to drop 'prot_addr' and 'trap_no' from the thread_struct
and to reduce the number of arguments to a lot of functions. Finally
un-inline do_trap. Overall this saves 5812 bytes in the .text section of
the 64 bit kernel.

[S390] entry[64].S improvements

2011-12-27T10:27:12+00:00

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.

[S390] add TIF_SYSCALL thread flag

2011-10-30T14:16:43+00:00

Add an explicit TIF_SYSCALL bit that indicates if a task is inside
a system call. The svc_code in the pt_regs structure is now only
valid if TIF_SYSCALL is set. With this definition TIF_RESTART_SVC
can be replaced with TIF_SYSCALL. Overall do_signal is a bit more
readable and it saves a few lines of code.

[S390] signal race with restarting system calls

2011-10-30T14:16:43+00:00

For a ERESTARTNOHAND/ERESTARTSYS/ERESTARTNOINTR restarting system call
do_signal will prepare the restart of the system call with a rewind of
the PSW before calling get_signal_to_deliver (where the debugger might
take control). For A ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK restarting system call
do_signal will set -EINTR as return code.
There are two issues with this approach:
1) strace never sees ERESTARTNOHAND, ERESTARTSYS, ERESTARTNOINTR or
   ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK as the rewinding already took place or the
   return code has been changed to -EINTR
2) if get_signal_to_deliver does not return with a signal to deliver
   the restart via the repeat of the svc instruction is left in place.
   This opens a race if another signal is made pending before the
   system call instruction can be reexecuted. The original system call
   will be restarted even if the second signal would have ended the
   system call with -EINTR.

These two issues can be solved by dropping the early rewind of the
system call before get_signal_to_deliver has been called and by using
the TIF_RESTART_SVC magic to do the restart if no signal has to be
delivered. The only situation where the system call restart via the
repeat of the svc instruction is appropriate is when a SA_RESTART
signal is delivered to user space.

Unfortunately this breaks inferior calls by the debugger again. The
system call number and the length of the system call instruction is
lost over the inferior call and user space will see ERESTARTNOHAND/
ERESTARTSYS/ERESTARTNOINTR/ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK. To correct this a
new ptrace interface is added to save/restore the system call number
and system call instruction length.

[S390] lowcore cleanup

2011-10-30T14:16:42+00:00

Remove the save_area_64 field from the 0xe00 - 0xf00 area in the lowcore.
Use a free slot in the save_area array instead.

[S390] Add PSW restart shutdown trigger

2011-08-03T14:44:19+00:00

With this patch a new S390 shutdown trigger "restart" is added. If under
z/VM "systerm restart" is entered or under the HMC the "PSW restart" button
is pressed, the PSW located at 0 (31 bit) or 0x1a0 (64 bit) bit is loaded.
Now we execute do_restart() that processes the restart action that is
defined under /sys/firmware/shutdown_actions/on_restart. Currently the
following actions are possible: reipl (default), stop, vmcmd, dump, and
dump_reipl.

[S390] fix s390 assembler code alignments

2011-07-24T08:48:21+00:00

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.

[S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts

2011-05-23T08:24:29+00:00

On cpu hot remove a PFAULT CANCEL command is sent to the hypervisor
which in turn will cancel all outstanding pfault requests that have
been issued on that cpu (the same happens with a SIGP cpu reset).

The result is that we end up with uninterruptible processes where
the interrupt that would wake up these processes never arrives.

In order to solve this all processes which wait for a pfault
completion interrupt get woken up after a cpu hot remove. The worst
case that could happen is that they fault again and in turn need to
wait again.

[S390] kernel: Initialize register 14 when starting new CPU

2011-05-10T15:13:42+00:00

When starting a new CPU we currently jump to start_secondary() without
setting register 14 (the return address) correctly. Therefore on the stack
frame for start_secondary an invalid return address is stored. This leads
to wrong stack back traces in kernel dumps.

Example:

 #00 [1f33fe48] cpu_idle at 10614a
 #01 [1f33fe90] start_secondary at 54fa88
 #02 [1f33feb8] (null) at 0                 <--- invalid

To fix this start_secondary() is called now with basr/brasl that sets
register 14 correctly. The output of the stack backtrace looks then
like the following:

 #00 [1f33fe48] cpu_idle at 10614a
 #01 [1f33fe90] start_secondary at 54fa88
 #02 [1f33feb8] restart_base at 54f41e      <--- correct
