s390: adapt entry.S to the move of thread_struct

2015-07-20T11:22:18+00:00

git commit 0c8c0f03e3a292e031596484275c14cf39c0ab7a "x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'" moved the thread_struct to the end of the task_struct. This causes some of the offsets used in entry.S to overflow their instruction operand field. To fix this use aghi to create a dedicated pointer for the thread_struct.

s390: Remove signal translation and exec_domain

As execution domain support is gone we can remove signal translation from the signal code and remove exec_domain from thread_info. Signed-off-by: Richard Weinberger

s390: remove 31 bit support

2015-03-25T10:49:33+00:00

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/cmpxchg: use compiler builtins

2014-11-03T12:29:47+00:00

The kernel build for s390 fails for gcc compilers with version 3.x, set the minimum required version of gcc to version 4.3. As the atomic builtins are available with all gcc 4.x compilers, use the __sync_val_compare_and_swap and __sync_bool_compare_and_swap functions to replace the complex macro and inline assembler magic in include/asm/cmpxchg.h. The compiler can just-do-it and generates better code with the builtins. While we are at it use __sync_bool_compare_and_swap for the _raw_compare_and_swap function in the spinlock code as well.

s390/ftrace,kprobes: allow to patch first instruction

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

If the function tracer is enabled, allow to set kprobes on the first instruction of a function (which is the function trace caller): If no kprobe is set handling of enabling and disabling function tracing of a function simply patches the first instruction. Either it is a nop (right now it's an unconditional branch, which skips the mcount block), or it's a branch to the ftrace_caller() function. If a kprobe is being placed on a function tracer calling instruction we encode if we actually have a nop or branch in the remaining bytes after the breakpoint instruction (illegal opcode). This is possible, since the size of the instruction used for the nop and branch is six bytes, while the size of the breakpoint is only two bytes. Therefore the first two bytes contain the illegal opcode and the last four bytes contain either "0" for nop or "1" for branch. The kprobes code will then execute/simulate the correct instruction. Instruction patching for kprobes and function tracer is always done with stop_machine(). Therefore we don't have any races where an instruction is patched concurrently on a different cpu. Besides that also the program check handler which executes the function trace caller instruction won't be executed concurrently to any stop_machine() execution. This allows to keep full fault based kprobes handling which generates correct pt_regs contents automatically. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
