exit_thread: accept a task parameter to be exited

2016-05-21T00:58:30+00:00

We need to call exit_thread from copy_process in a fail path.  So make it
accept task_struct as a parameter.

[v2]
* s390: exit_thread_runtime_instr doesn't make sense to be called for
  non-current tasks.
* arm: fix the comment in vfp_thread_copy
* change 'me' to 'tsk' for task_struct
* now we can change only archs that actually have exit_thread

s390: add missing include statements

2016-05-10T11:24:52+00:00

arch_mmap_rnd, cpu_have_feature, and arch_randomize_brk are all
defined as globally visible variables.
However the files they are defined in do not include the header files
with the declaration. To avoid a possible mismatch add the missing
include statements so we have proper type checking in place.

s390/fpu: allocate 'struct fpu' with the task_struct

2016-04-21T07:51:15+00:00

Analog to git commit 0c8c0f03e3a292e031596484275c14cf39c0ab7a
"x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'"
move the struct fpu to the end of the struct thread_struct,
set CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT and add the
setup_task_size() function to calculate the correct size
fo the task struct.

For the performance_defconfig this increases the size of
struct task_struct from 7424 bytes to 7936 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==1)
or 7552 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==0). The dynamic allocation of the
struct fpu is removed. The slab cache uses an 8KB block for the
task struct in all cases, there is enough room for the struct fpu.
For MACHINE_HAS_VX==1 each task now needs 512 bytes less memory.

s390: remove all usages of PSW_ADDR_INSN

2016-01-19T11:14:03+00:00

Yet another leftover from the 31 bit era. The usual operation
"y = x & PSW_ADDR_INSN" with the PSW_ADDR_INSN mask is a nop for
CONFIG_64BIT.

Therefore remove all usages and hope the code is a bit less confusing.

s390: remove all usages of PSW_ADDR_AMODE

2016-01-19T11:14:02+00:00

This is a leftover from the 31 bit area. For CONFIG_64BIT the usual
operation "y = x | PSW_ADDR_AMODE" is a nop. Therefore remove all
usages of PSW_ADDR_AMODE and make the code a bit less confusing.

s390: avoid cache aliasing under z/VM and KVM

2015-11-16T11:04:18+00:00

commit 1f6b83e5e4d3 ("s390: avoid z13 cache aliasing") checks for the
machine type to optimize address space randomization and zero page
allocation to avoid cache aliases.

This check might fail under a hypervisor with migration support.
z/VMs "Single System Image and Live Guest Relocation" facility will
"fake" the machine type of the oldest system in the group. For example
in a group of zEC12 and Z13 the guest appears to run on a zEC12
(architecture fencing within the relocation domain)

Remove the machine type detection and always use cache aliasing
rules that are known to work for all machines. These are the z13
aliasing rules.

s390: remove runtime instrumentation interrupts

2015-11-03T13:40:51+00:00

The external interrupts for runtime instrumentation buffer-full
and runtime instrumentation halted are unused and have no current
user. Remove the support and ignore the second parameter of the
s390_runtime_instr system call from now on.

s390/fpu: add static FPU save area for init_task

2015-10-14T12:32:08+00:00

Previously, the init task did not have an allocated FPU save area and
saving an FPU state was not possible.  Now if the vector extension is
always enabled, provide a static FPU save area to save FPU states of
vector instructions that can be executed quite early.

s390/fpu: always enable the vector facility if it is available

2015-10-14T12:32:08+00:00

If the kernel detects that the s390 hardware supports the vector
facility, it is enabled by default at an early stage.  To force
it off, use the novx kernel parameter.  Note that there is a small
time window, where the vector facility is enabled before it is
forced to be off.

With enabling the vector facility by default, the FPU save and
restore functions can be improved.  They do not longer require
to manage expensive control register updates to enable or disable
the vector enablement control for particular processes.

s390/kernel: remove save_fpu_regs() parameter and use __LC_CURRENT instead

2015-08-03T08:04:37+00:00

All calls to save_fpu_regs() specify the fpu structure of the current task
pointer as parameter.  The task pointer of the current task can also be
retrieved from the CPU lowcore directly.  Remove the parameter definition,
load the __LC_CURRENT task pointer from the CPU lowcore, and rebase the FPU
structure onto the task structure.  Apply the same approach for the
load_fpu_regs() function.
