2008-12-31[PATCH] fast vdso implementation for CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_IDMartin Schwidefsky
The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.

2008-12-25[S390] Remove initial kernel stack backchain initialization.Heiko Carstens
Early init code clears the backchain of the initial kernel stack frame. This is not necessary since it is pre initialized with zeros. Plus it was broken on 64 bit since it cleared only four of eight bytes. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-12-25[S390] Add processor type march=z10 and a processor type safety check.Martin Schwidefsky
This patch adds the code generation option for IBM System z10 and adds a check in head[31,64].S to prevents the execution of a kernel compiled for a new processor type on an old machine. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-04-30[S390] System z large page support.Gerald Schaefer
This adds hugetlbfs support on System z, using both hardware large page support if available and software large page emulation on older hardware. Shared (large) page tables are implemented in software emulation mode, by using page->index of the first tail page from a compound large page to store page table information.

2008-04-30[S390] Convert machine feature detection code to C.Heiko Carstens
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> From: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> This lets us use defines for the magic bits in machine flags instead of using plain numbers all over the place. In addition on newer machines features/facilities are indicated by the result of the stfl instruction. So we use these bits instead of trying to execute new instructions and check wether we get an exception or not. Also the mvpg instruction is always available when in zArch mode, whereas the idte instruction is only available in zArch mode. This results in some minor optimizations.

2008-01-26[S390] Fix tlb flushing with idte.Martin Schwidefsky
The clear-by-asce operation of the idte instruction gets an asce (address-space-control-element) as argument to specify which TLBs need to get flushed. The current code passes a plain pointer to the start of the pgd without the additional bits which would make the pointer an asce. The current machines don't mind the difference but a future model might want to use the designation type control bits in the asce as a filter for the TLBs to flush.

2007-04-27[S390] zfcpdump support.Michael Holzheu
s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first 32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

2007-03-05[S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.Gerald Schaefer
Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched (kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space). Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than 0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory is accessed using the base register related to the access register, the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

2007-02-21[S390] nss: Free unused memory in kernel image.Heiko Carstens
With CONFIG_SHARED_KERNEL the kernel text segment that might be in a read only memory sections starts at 1MB. Memory between 0x12000 and 0x100000 is unused then.

2007-02-05[S390] Convert memory detection into C code.Heiko Carstens
Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone. Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an early call to sort_main_extable(). This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of head[31|64].S into C code.

2007-02-05[S390] Fix FCP dump feature detection.Heiko Carstens
FCP dump feature detection works only if the sclp command in head.S was succesful. Since the sclp command is skipped if diag260 works, we don't have any dump feature detection anymore.

2006-09-20[S390] initrd vs. bootmem bitmap.Heiko Carstens
Move initrd if the bitmap of the bootmem allocator would overwrite it. In addition this patch sets the default size and address of the initrd to 0. Therefore all boot loaders must set the initrd size and address correctly. This is especially relevant for ftp boot via HMC/SE, where this change requires a special patch file entry in the .ins file which sets these two values contained at address 0x10408 and 0x10410.

2005-07-27[PATCH] s390: external call performanceHeiko Carstens
The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other CPUs. When running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get delivered immediately but within a fixed polling invervall. This can lead to delays where the system appears to do nothing. Replace the SIGP external call order with the SIGP emergency call order since this one gets delivered immediately.

2005-07-27[PATCH] s390: spin lock retryMartin Schwidefsky
Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of retries before a cpu is yielded. The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is 1000.

2005-06-21[PATCH] s390: memory detection > 32GBHeiko Carstens
The kernel takes a very long time to boot if the memory size is bigger then 32767 MB. The memory size is contained in a structure created by an sclp call. The kernel accesses the field with a LH instrution which performs a sign extension of a 16 bit word. In the case of a memory size with bit 2^15 set this results in a very large value and the memory detection just loops for a long time. In addition if more then 64 GB are used on a 64 bit system the memory size is read from an incorrect storage location. Use zero-extention to read the 16 bit memory size and the correct offset to read the 4 byte memory size on 64 bit.

2005-04-16Linux-2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
