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/vtime: Get rid of redundant WARN_ON

2014-12-18T08:55:56+00:00

in the cpu time accounting function vtime_account_irq_enter
(vtime_account_system) we use a WARN_ON_ONCE(!irqs_disabled()).
This is redundant as the function virt_timer_forward is always
called and has a BUG_ON(!irqs_disabled()).

This saves several nanoseconds in my specific testcase (KVM entry/exit)
and probably all other callers like (soft)irq entry/exit.

s390/time: use stck clock fast for do_account_vtime

2014-10-27T12:27:01+00:00

The last high frequency call site of the STCK instruction is
do_account_vtime. Replace it with the faster STCKF instruction.

s390/idle: consolidate idle functions and definitions

2014-10-09T07:14:03+00:00

Move the C functions and definitions related to the idle state handling
to arch/s390/include/asm/idle.h and arch/s390/kernel/idle.c. The function
s390_get_idle_time is renamed to arch_cpu_idle_time and vtime_stop_cpu to
enabled_wait.

s390/nohz: use a per-cpu flag for arch_needs_cpu

2014-10-09T07:14:02+00:00

Move the nohz_delay bit from the s390_idle data structure to the
per-cpu flags. Clear the nohz delay flag in __cpu_disable and
remove the cpu hotplug notifier that used to do this.

s390/vtime: correct idle time calculation

2013-10-31T08:52:52+00:00

Use the ACCESS_ONCE macro for both accesses to idle->sequence in the
loops to calculate the idle time. If only one access uses the macro,
the compiler is free to cache the value for the second access which
can cause endless loops.

s390/uaccess: always run the kernel in home space

2013-10-24T15:16:57+00:00

Simplify the uaccess code by removing the user_mode=home option.
The kernel will now always run in the home space mode.

vtime: Describe overriden functions in dedicated arch headers

2013-08-14T15:14:53+00:00

If the arch overrides some generic vtime APIs, let it describe
these on a dedicated and standalone header. This way it becomes
convenient to include it in vtime generic headers without irrelevant
stuff in such a low level header.

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.
