* [S390] zfcpdump support.Michael Holzheu2007-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.Gerald Schaefer2007-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [S390] nss: Free unused memory in kernel image.Heiko Carstens2007-02-21
| | | | | | | | | | 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. Free this, so we have appr. an extra MB of memory available. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] Convert memory detection into C code.Heiko Carstens2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [S390] Fix FCP dump feature detection.Heiko Carstens2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | 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. Bug was introduced with d57de5a36791cb1b7285649c62f183b0d3505f7d.

* [S390] Memory detection fixes.Heiko Carstens2006-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | | VMALLOC_END on 31bit should be 0x8000000UL instead of 0x7fffffffL. The page mask which is used to make sure memory_end is on 4MB/2MB boundary is wrong and not needed. Therefore remove it. Make sure a vmalloc area does also exist and work on (future) machines with 4TB and more memory.

* [S390] Use diag260 for memory size detection.Heiko Carstens2006-12-04
| | | | | | | | | | Avoid the tprot loop if diag260 works and reports that there are no holes in memory. The tprot instruction can lead to a significant delay in the ipl process if the virtual guest has a lot of memory and the host is under memory pressure.

* [S390] initrd vs. bootmem bitmap.Heiko Carstens2006-09-20
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] s390: external call performanceHeiko Carstens2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] s390: spin lock retryMartin Schwidefsky2005-07-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [PATCH] s390: memory detection > 32GBHeiko Carstens2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* Linux-2.6.12-rc2v2.6.12-rc2Linus Torvalds2005-04-16
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!
