Pull KVM update from Paolo Bonzini:
 "Fairly small update, but there are some interesting new features.

  Common:
     Optional support for adding a small amount of polling on each HLT
     instruction executed in the guest (or equivalent for other
     architectures).  This can improve latency up to 50% on some
     scenarios (e.g. O_DSYNC writes or TCP_RR netperf tests).  This
     also has to be enabled manually for now, but the plan is to
     auto-tune this in the future.

  ARM/ARM64:
     The highlights are support for GICv3 emulation and dirty page
     tracking

  s390:
     Several optimizations and bugfixes.  Also a first: a feature
     exposed by KVM (UUID and long guest name in /proc/sysinfo) before
     it is available in IBM's hypervisor! :)

  MIPS:
     Bugfixes.

  x86:
     Support for PML (page modification logging, a new feature in
     Broadwell Xeons that speeds up dirty page tracking), nested
     virtualization improvements (nested APICv---a nice optimization),
     usual round of emulation fixes.

     There is also a new option to reduce latency of the TSC deadline
     timer in the guest; this needs to be tuned manually.

     Some commits are common between this pull and Catalin's; I see you
     have already included his tree.

  Powerpc:
     Nothing yet.

     The KVM/PPC changes will come in through the PPC maintainers,
     because I haven't received them yet and I might end up being
     offline for some part of next week"

s390/kernel: Update /proc/sysinfo file with Extended Name and UUID

2015-02-09T11:44:11+00:00

A new architecture extends STSI 3.2.2 with UUID and long names. KVM
will provide the first implementation. This patch adds the additional
data  fields (Extended Name and UUID) from the 4KB block returned by
the STSI 3.2.2 command and reflect this information in the
/proc/sysinfo file accordingly.

s390: add SMT support

2015-01-22T11:16:01+00:00

The multi-threading facility is introduced with the z13 processor family.
This patch adds code to detect the multi-threading facility. With the
facility enabled each core will surface multiple hardware threads to the
system. Each hardware threads looks like a normal CPU to the operating
system with all its registers and properties.

The SCLP interface reports the SMT topology indirectly via the maximum
thread id. Each reported CPU in the result of a read-scp-information
is a core representing a number of hardware threads.

To reflect the reduced CPU capacity if two hardware threads run on a
single core the MT utilization counter set is used to normalize the
raw cputime obtained by the CPU timer deltas. This scaled cputime is
reported via the taskstats interface. The normal /proc/stat numbers
are based on the raw cputime and are not affected by the normalization.

s390: delete __cpuinit usage from all s390 files

2013-07-14T23:36:53+00:00

The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/s390 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  Currently s390 does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.

s390/sysinfo,stsi: change return code handling

2012-09-26T13:45:12+00:00

Change return code handling of the stsi() function:

In case function code 0 was specified the return value is the
current configuration level (already shifted). That way all
the code that actually copied the stsi_0() function can go
away.

Otherwise the return value is 0 (success) or negative to
indicate an error (currently only -EOPNOTSUPP).

Also stsi() is no longer an inline function. The function is
not performance critical, but every caller would generate an
exception table entry for this function.

s390/sysinfo,topology: fix cpu topology maximum nesting detection

2012-09-26T13:45:08+00:00

The maximum nesting of the cpu topology is evaluated when /proc/sysinfo
is the first time read. This happens without a lock and a concurrent
reader on a different cpu can see and use an invalid intermediate value.
Besides the fact that this race is quite unlikely the worst thing that
could happen is that /proc/sysinfo would contain bogus information about
the machine's cpu topology.
Nevertheless this should be fixed. So move the detection code to the
early machine detection code and since now the value is early available
use it in the topology code as well.

s390/sysinfo: convert /proc/sysinfo to seqfile

2012-09-26T13:45:07+00:00

The current proc implementation of the /proc/sysinfo file writes all
informations contained in all system information blocks to a single
page.
This is done by calling sprintf all the time in the expectation that
everything will fit into a single page. This however is not necessarily
true if the configuration of a machine is very large.
So convert /proc/sysinfo to avoid writing into random memory regions.

For readability reasons a couple of lines are longer than 80 characters.

s390/cpu: remove cpu "capabilities" sysfs attribute

2012-05-30T07:07:30+00:00

It has been a big mistage to add the capabilities attribute to the
cpus in sysfs:
First the attribute only contains the cpu capability of primary cpus,
which however is not necessarily (or better: unlikely) the type of
cpu the kernel runs on, which is typically an IFL.
In addition all information that is necessary is available in
/proc/sysinfo already. So this attribute partially duplicated
informations.
So programs should look into the sysinfo file to retrieve all
informations they are interested in.

Since with this kernel release also the powersavings cpu attributes
are removed this seems to be a good opportunity to remove another
broken interface.
