Heiko Carstens 88e012856d [S390] smp: fix cpu_possible_map initialization
The cpu_possible_map by default is initialized with all ones in s390.
If the kernel paramert possible_cpus=<x> is passed the cpu_possible_map
is supposed to have x bits set.
However the current code just sets the x bits without clearing the NR_CPUS
bits that were already set. So we end up with an unchanged map that has
all bits set.
To fix this just clear the map before setting any new bits.

This broke with def6cfb70b

Christian Ehrhardt 25097bf153 [S390] s390: move machine flags to lowcore
Currently the storage of the machine flags is a globally exported unsigned
long long variable. By moving the storage location into the lowcore struct we
allow assembler code to check machine_flags directly even without needing a
register. Addtionally the lowcore and therefore the machine flags too will be
in cache most of the time.

Impact: use new API

Use the accessors rather than frobbing bits directly.  Most of this is

Rusty Russell 93632d1bf7 [S390] cpumask: prepare for iterators to only go to nr_cpu_ids/nr_cpumask_bits.
Impact: cleanup, futureproof

In fact, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids.  So use that instead of NR_CPUS in various
places (I also updated the immediate sites to use the new cpumask_
operators).

This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

Rusty Russell 98a79d6a50 cpumask: centralize cpu_online_map and cpu_possible_map
Impact: cleanup

Each SMP arch defines these themselves.  Move them to a central
location.

Twists:
1) Some archs (m32, parisc, s390) set possible_map to all 1, so we add a
   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

Use sysdev_class_create_file() to create create sysdev class attributes
instead of sysfs_create_file(). Using sysfs_create_file() wasn't a very
good idea since the show and store functions have a different amount of
parameters for sysfs files and sysdev class files.
In particular the pointer to the buffer is the last argument and
therefore accesses to random memory regions happened.
Still worked surprisingly well until we got a kernel panic.

Manfred Spraul e545a6140b kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier
Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.

The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.

Andi Kleen 4a0b2b4dbe sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated

passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86

with git commit 2069e978d5
("[S390] sparsemem vmemmap: initialize memmap.")

Calling the generic vmemmap_alloc_block() function to get initialized
memory is a nice idea, however that function is __meminit annotated
and therefore the function might be gone if we try to call it later.
This can happen if a DCSS segment gets added.

So basically revert the patch and clear the memmap explicitly to fix
the original bug.

Heiko Carstens c10fde0d9e [S390] Vertical cpu management.
If vertical cpu polarization is active then the hypervisor will
dispatch certain cpus for a longer time than other cpus for maximum
performance. For example if a guest would have three virtual cpus,
each of them with a share of 33 percent, then in case of vertical
cpu polarization all of the processing time would be combined to a
single cpu which would run all the time, while the other two cpus
would get nearly no cpu time.

There are three different types of vertical cpus: high, medium and
low. Low cpus hardly get any real cpu time, while high cpus get a
full real cpu. Medium cpus get something in between.

In order to switch between the two possible modes (default is
horizontal) a 0 for horizontal polarization or a 1 for vertical
polarization must be written to the dispatching sysfs attribute:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/dispatching

The polarization of each single cpu can be figured out by the
polarization sysfs attribute of each cpu:

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/polarization

horizontal, vertical:high, vertical:medium, vertical:low or unknown.

When switching polarization the polarization attribute may contain
the value unknown until the configuration change is done and the
kernel has figured out the new polarization of each cpu.

Note that running a system with different types of vertical cpus may
result in significant performance regressions. If possible only one
type of vertical cpus should be used. All other cpus should be
offlined.

Carsten Otte dab5209cd8 [S390] add smp_call_function_mask
This patch adds the s390 variant for smp_call_function_mask(). The
implementation is pretty straight forward using the wrapper
__smp_call_function_map() which already takes a cpumask_t argument.

Michael Holzheu 99ca4e582d [S390] kernel: Shutdown Actions Interface
In case of a kernel panic it is currently possible to specify that a dump
should be created, the system should be rebooted or stopped. Virtual sysfs
files under the directory /sys/firmware/ are used for that configuration.
In addition to that, there are kernel parameters 'vmhalt', 'vmpoff'
and 'vmpanic', which can be used to specify z/VM commands, which are
automatically executed in case of halt, power off or a kernel panic.
This patch combines both functionalities and allows to specify the z/VM CP
commands also via sysfs attributes. In addition to that, it enhances the
existing handling of shutdown triggers (e.g. halt or panic) and associated
shutdown actions (e.g. dump or reipl) and makes it more flexible.

Heiko Carstens 48483b3290 [S390] Get rid of additional_cpus kernel parameter.
It caused only a lot of confusion. From now on cpu hotplug of up to
NR_CPUS will work by default. If somebody wants to limit that then
the possible_cpus parameter can be used.

Heiko Carstens 08d0796827 [S390] Standby cpu activation/deactivation.
Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and
configured state.
Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state.
For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used.
To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute.
In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to
the attribute.
Only cpus in configured state can be brought online.
In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to
logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus
will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan"
must be used.
Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of
cpus and will create directories for new cpus.

On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all
cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).

Martin Schwidefsky ba8a9229ab [S390] tlb flush fix.
The current tlb flushing code for page table entries violates the
s390 architecture in a small detail. The relevant section from the
principles of operation (SA22-7832-02 page 3-47):

   "A valid table entry must not be changed while it is attached
   to any CPU and may be used for translation by that CPU except to
   (1) invalidate the entry by using INVALIDATE PAGE TABLE ENTRY or
   INVALIDATE DAT TABLE ENTRY, (2) alter bits 56-63 of a page-table
   entry, or (3) make a change by means of a COMPARE AND SWAP AND
   PURGE instruction that purges the TLB."

That means if one thread of a multithreaded applciation uses a vma
while another thread does an unmap on it, the page table entries of
that vma needs to get removed with IPTE, IDTE or CSP. In some strange
and rare situations a cpu could check-stop (die) because a entry has
been pushed out of the TLB that is still needed to complete a
(milli-coded) instruction. I've never seen it happen with the current
code on any of the supported machines, so right now this is a
theoretical problem. But I want to fix it nevertheless, to avoid
headaches in the futures.

To get this implemented correctly without changing common code the
primitives ptep_get_and_clear, ptep_get_and_clear_full and
ptep_set_wrprotect need to use the IPTE instruction to invalidate the
pte before the new pte value gets stored. If IPTE is always used for
the three primitives three important operations will have a performace
hit: fork, mprotect and exit_mmap. Time for some workarounds:

* 1: ptep_get_and_clear_full is used in unmap_vmas to remove page
tables entries in a batched tlb gather operation. If the mmu_gather
context passed to unmap_vmas has been started with full_mm_flush==1
or if only one cpu is online or if the only user of a mm_struct is the
current process then the fullmm indication in the mmu_gather context is
set to one. All TLBs for mm_struct are flushed by the tlb_gather_mmu
call. No new TLBs can be created while the unmap is in progress. In
this case ptep_get_and_clear_full clears the ptes with a simple store.

* 2: ptep_get_and_clear is used in change_protection to clear the
ptes from the page tables before they are reentered with the new
access flags. At the end of the update flush_tlb_range clears the
remaining TLBs. In general the ptep_get_and_clear has to issue IPTE
for each pte and flush_tlb_range is a nop. But if there is only one
user of the mm_struct then ptep_get_and_clear uses simple stores
to do the update and flush_tlb_range will flush the TLBs.

* 3: Similar to 2, ptep_set_wrprotect is used in copy_page_range
for a fork to make all ptes of a cow mapping read-only. At the end of
of copy_page_range dup_mmap will flush the TLBs with a call to
flush_tlb_mm.  Check for mm->mm_users and if there is only one user
avoid using IPTE in ptep_set_wrprotect and let flush_tlb_mm clear the
TLBs.

Overall for single threaded programs the tlb flush code now performs
better, for multi threaded programs it is slightly worse. In particular
exit_mmap() now does a single IDTE for the mm and then just frees every
page cache reference and every page table page directly without a delay
over the mmu_gather structure.

Heiko Carstens fae8b22d3e [S390] Add per-cpu idle time / idle count sysfs attributes.
Add two new sysfs entries per cpu: idle_count and idle_time.
idle_count contains the number of times a cpu went into idle state.
idle_time contains the time a cpu spent in idle state in microseconds.
This can be used e.g. by powertop to tell how often idle state is
entered and left.
