If an exception happens the PSW either points to the instruction that
caused the exception or to the instruction that follows the exception
causing instruction, depending on the exception type.
Since the inkernel disassembler adds a ">" in front of the disassembly
many people assume incorrectly that the instruction that is pointed to
must be the cause of the exception. To make people aware that this is
not necessarily the case add a different character in front of the
disassembled instruction that precedes the current instructions.The output now looks like this:

A 31-bit kernel always sets the high order bit in the return address
for a signal handler.
git commit d4e81b35b882d96f "[S390] allow all addressing modes" makes
sure that the high order bit is set in the signal return address for
standard signals of a 31-bit compat process but fails to do the same
for real-time signals. To make things consistent the bit needs to be
set by setup_rt_frame32 as well.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

The panic function will first print the panic message to the console,
then stop additional cpus with smp_send_stop and finally call the
function on the panic notifier list.
In case of an I/O based console the panic message will cause I/O to
be started and a function on the panic notifier list will wait for the
completion of the I/O. That does not work if an I/O completion interrupt
has already been delivered to a cpu that is then stopped by smp_send_stop.
To break this cyclic dependency add code to smp_send_stop that gives
the additional cpu the opportunity to complete outstanding interrupts.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Move the program interruption code and the translation exception identifier
to the pt_regs structure as 'int_code' and 'int_parm_long' and make the
first level interrupt handler in entry[64].S store the two values. That
makes it possible to drop 'prot_addr' and 'trap_no' from the thread_struct
and to reduce the number of arguments to a lot of functions. Finally
un-inline do_trap. Overall this saves 5812 bytes in the .text section of

The kernel address space of a 64 bit kernel currently uses a three level
page table and the vmemmap array has a fixed address and a fixed maximum
size. A three level page table is good enough for systems with less than
3.8TB of memory, for bigger systems four page table levels need to be
used. Each page table level costs a bit of performance, use 3 levels for
normal systems and 4 levels only for the really big systems.
To avoid bloating sparse.o too much set MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to 46 for a
maximum of 64TB of memory.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

The current code in setup_boot_command_line() uses a heuristic to
detect an EBCDIC command line. It checks if any of the bytes in
the command line has bit one (0x80) set. In that case it is assumed
that we have an EBCDIC string and the complete command line is
converted.On s390 there are cases where the boot loader provides a kernel
command line that is NULL terminated, but has random data after
the NULL termination. In that case, setup_boot_command_line()
might misinterpret an ASCII string for an EBCDIC string. A
subsequent string conversion can then damage the ASCII string.This patch solves the problem by checking for NULL termination.
If no EBCDIC character has been found until the the NULL
termination has been found, we now assume that we have an ASCII
string.Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.Split this function into:
- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.Signed-off-by: Frederic Weisbecker

git commit 20b40a794baf3b4b "signal race with restarting system calls"
added code to the poke_user/poke_user_compat to reset the system call
restart information in the thread-info if the PSW address is changed.
The purpose of that change has been to workaround old gdbs that do
not know about the REGSET_SYSTEM_CALL. It turned out that this is not
a good idea, it makes the behaviour of the debuggee dependent on the
order of specific ptrace call, e.g. the REGSET_SYSTEM_CALL register
set needs to be written last. And the workaround does not really fix
old gdbs, inferior calls on interrupted restarting system calls do not
work either way.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
