s390: Remove KMSG_COMPONENT macro

2025-11-24T10:45:21+00:00

The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel
message catalog" which never made it upstream.

Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace
all users with the string it defines. In almost all cases this leads to a
simple replacement like this:

 - #define KMSG_COMPONENT "appldata"
 - #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt
 + #define pr_fmt(fmt) "appldata: " fmt

Except for some special cases this is just mechanical/scripted work.

s390/stp: Remove leap second support

2025-07-21T10:41:55+00:00

With moving time steering to userspace, there's no need
to handle leap seconds inside the kernel. Remove it.

s390/time: Remove in-kernel time steering

2025-07-21T10:41:55+00:00

Remove the in-kernel time steering in favour of the new
ptp s390 driver, which allows the kernel clock to be steered
more precise.

s390/stp: Remove udelay from stp_sync_clock()

2025-07-10T12:42:10+00:00

When an stp sync check is handled on a system with multiple
cpus each cpu gets a machine check but only the first one
actually handles the sync operation. All other CPUs spin
waiting for the first one to finish with a short udelay().
But udelay can't be used here as the first CPU modifies tod_clock_base
before performing the sync op. During this timeframe
get_tod_clock_monotonic() might return a non-monotonic time.

The time spent waiting should be very short and udelay is a busy loop
anyways, therefore simply remove the udelay.

treewide: Switch/rename to timer_delete[_sync]()

2025-04-05T08:30:12+00:00

timer_delete[_sync]() replaces del_timer[_sync](). Convert the whole tree
over and remove the historical wrapper inlines.

Conversion was done with coccinelle plus manual fixups where necessary.

Merge tag 's390-6.15-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux

2025-03-29T18:59:43+00:00

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Add sorting of mcount locations at build time

 - Rework uaccess functions with C exception handling to shorten inline
   assembly size and enable full inlining. This yields near-optimal code
   for small constant copies with a ~40kb kernel size increase

 - Add support for a configurable STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS which allows to
   generate better code, but also allows to have type checking for debug
   builds

 - Optimize get_lowcore() for common callers with alternatives that
   nearly revert to the pre-relocated lowcore code, while also slightly
   reducing syscall entry and exit time

 - Convert MACHINE_HAS_* checks for single facility tests into cpu_has_*
   style macros that call test_facility(), and for features with
   additional conditions, add a new ALT_TYPE_FEATURE alternative to
   provide a static branch via alternative patching. Also, move machine
   feature detection to the decompressor for early patching and add
   debugging functionality to easily show which alternatives are patched

 - Add exception table support to early boot / startup code to get rid
   of the open coded exception handling

 - Use asm_inline for all inline assemblies with EX_TABLE or ALTERNATIVE
   to ensure correct inlining and unrolling decisions

 - Remove 2k page table leftovers now that s390 has been switched to
   always allocate 4k page tables

 - Split kfence pool into 4k mappings in arch_kfence_init_pool() and
   remove the architecture-specific kfence_split_mapping()

 - Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() in regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() to silence
   spurious KASAN warnings from opportunistic ftrace argument tracing

 - Force __atomic_add_const() variants on s390 to always return void,
   ensuring compile errors for improper usage

 - Remove s390's ioremap_wt() and pgprot_writethrough() due to
   mismatched semantics and lack of known users, relying on asm-generic
   fallbacks

 - Signal eventfd in vfio-ap to notify userspace when the guest AP
   configuration changes, including during mdev removal

 - Convert mdev_types from an array to a pointer in vfio-ccw and vfio-ap
   drivers to avoid fake flex array confusion

 - Cleanup trap code

 - Remove references to the outdated linux390@de.ibm.com address

 - Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code

vdso: Rework struct vdso_time_data and introduce struct vdso_clock

2025-03-08T13:37:41+00:00

To support multiple PTP clocks, the VDSO data structure needs to be
reworked. All clock specific data will end up in struct vdso_clock and in
struct vdso_time_data there will be an array of VDSO clocks.

Now that all preparatory changes are in place:

Split the clock related struct members into a separate struct
vdso_clock. Make sure all users are aware, that vdso_time_data is no longer
initialized as an array and vdso_clock is now the array inside
vdso_data. Remove the vdso_clock define, which mapped it to vdso_time_data
for the transition.

s390/time: Convert MACHINE_HAS_SCC to machine_has_scc()

2025-03-04T16:18:06+00:00

Use static branch(es) to implement and use machine_has_scc() instead
of a runtime check via MACHINE_HAS_SCC.

This comes with a cleanup of early time initialization: the initial
tod_clock_base value is now passed via the bootdata mechanism, instead
of using absolute lowcore as transport vehicle from the decompressor
to the kernel.

Also the early tod clock initialization is moved to the decompressor
which allows to use a static branch with machine_has_scc() within the
kernel.

s390/vdso: Switch to generic storage implementation

2025-02-21T08:54:02+00:00

The generic storage implementation provides the same features as the
custom one. However it can be shared between architectures, making
maintenance easier.
