s390/hwcaps: do not report high gprs for 31 bit kernel

2012-09-10T07:53:52+00:00

The bit for high gprs in the AT_HWCAP auxiliary vector field and the
highgprs tag in the output of /proc/cpuinfo should not be set for
31 bit kernels.

Merge tag 'kvm-3.6-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/virt/kvm/kvm

2012-07-24T19:01:20+00:00

Pull KVM updates from Avi Kivity:
 "Highlights include
  - full big real mode emulation on pre-Westmere Intel hosts (can be
    disabled with emulate_invalid_guest_state=0)
  - relatively small ppc and s390 updates
  - PCID/INVPCID support in guests
  - EOI avoidance; 3.6 guests should perform better on 3.6 hosts on
    interrupt intensive workloads)
  - Lockless write faults during live migration
  - EPT accessed/dirty bits support for new Intel processors"

Fix up conflicts in:
 - Documentation/virtual/kvm/api.txt:

   Stupid subchapter numbering, added next to each other.

 - arch/powerpc/kvm/booke_interrupts.S:

   PPC asm changes clashing with the KVM fixes

 - arch/s390/include/asm/sigp.h, arch/s390/kvm/sigp.c:

   subsequent edits in the KVM tree.

s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names

2012-07-20T09:15:04+00:00

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

s390/smp: make absolute lowcore / cpu restart parameter accesses more robust

2012-06-14T07:09:02+00:00

Setting the cpu restart parameters is done in three different fashions:
- directly setting the four parameters individually
- copying the four parameters with memcpy (using 4 * sizeof(long))
- copying the four parameters using a private structure

In addition code in entry*.S relies on a certain order of the restart
members of struct _lowcore.

Make all of this more robust to future changes by adding a
mem_absolute_assign(dest, val) define, which assigns val to dest
using absolute addressing mode. Also the load multiple instructions
in entry*.S have been split into separate load instruction so the
order of the struct _lowcore members doesn't matter anymore.

In addition move the prototypes of memcpy_real/absolute from uaccess.h
to processor.h. These memcpy* variants are not related to uaccess at all.
string.h doesn't seem to match as well, so lets use processor.h.

Also replace the eight byte array in struct _lowcore which represents a
misaliged u64 with a u64. The compiler will always create code that
handles the misaligned u64 correctly.

s390/kernel: Introduce memcpy_absolute() function

2012-05-30T07:04:49+00:00

This patch introduces the new function memcpy_absolute() that allows to
copy memory using absolute addressing. This means that the prefix swap
does not apply when this function is used.

With this patch also all s390 kernel code that accesses absolute zero
now uses the new memcpy_absolute() function. The old and less generic
copy_to_absolute_zero() function is removed.

[S390] kernel: Add OS info memory interface

2012-03-11T15:59:29+00:00

In order to allow kdump based stand-alone dump, some information
has to be passed from the old kernel to the new dump kernel. This
is done via a the struct "os_info" that contains the following fields:
 * crashkernel base and size
 * reipl block
 * vmcoreinfo
 * init function
A pointer to os_info is stored at a well known storage location
and the whole structure as well as all fields are secured with
checksums.
