* s390/vdso: optimize getcpu system callMartin Schwidefsky2016-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | Add the CPU number to the per-cpu vdso data page and add the __kernel_getcpu function to the vdso object to retrieve the CPU number in user space.

* s390: rename struct _lowcore to struct lowcoreHeiko Carstens2016-01-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | Finally get rid of the leading underscore. I tried this already two or three years ago, however Michael Holzheu objected since this would break the crash utility (again). However Michael integrated support for the new name into the crash utility back then, so it doesn't break if the name will be changed now. So finally get rid of the ever confusing leading underscore.

* s390: remove 31 bit supportHeiko Carstens2015-03-25
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel. The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit code. We didn't get any response. Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's remove the code. Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

* [S390] rework smp codeMartin Schwidefsky2012-03-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Define struct pcpu and merge some of the NR_CPUS arrays into it, including __cpu_logical_map, current_set and smp_cpu_state. Split smp related functions to those operating on physical cpus and the functions operating on a logical cpu number. Make the functions for physical cpus use a pointer to a struct pcpu. This hides the knowledge about cpu addresses in smp.c, entry[64].S and swsusp_asm64.S, thus remove the sigp.h header. The PSW restart mechanism is used to start secondary cpus, calling a function on an online cpu, calling a function on the ipl cpu, and for the nmi signal. Replace the different assembler functions with a single function restart_int_handler. The new entry point calls a function whose pointer is stored in the lowcore of the target cpu and it can wait for the source cpu to stop. This covers all existing use cases. Overall the code is now simpler and there are ~380 lines less code. Reviewed-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] vdso: use ntp adjusted clock multiplierHendrik Brueckner2010-04-22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit "timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp" (0696b711e) introduced the new parameter "mult" to update_vsyscall(). This parameter contains the internal NTP adjusted clock multiplier. The s390x vdso did not use this adjusted multiplier. Instead, it used the constant clock multiplier for gettimeofday() and clock_gettime() variants. This may result in observable time warps as explained in commit 0696b711e. Make the NTP adjusted clock multiplier available to the s390x vdso implementation and use it for time calculations.

* [S390] correct vdso version stringMartin Schwidefsky2010-02-26
| | | | | | | | | The glibc vdso code for s390 uses the version string 2.6.29, the kernel uses the version string 2.6.26. No wonder the vdso code is never used. The first kernel version to contain the vdso code is 2.6.29 which makes this the correct version. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [PATCH] fast vdso implementation for CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_IDMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-31
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.
