Christian Borntraeger reported that the now missing diag 44 calls (voluntary time slice end) does cause a performance regression for stop_machine() calls if a machine has more virtual cpus than the host has physical cpus. This patch mainly reverts 57f2ffe1 ("s390: remove diag 44 calls from cpu_relax()") with the exception that we still do not issue diag 44 calls if running with smt enabled. Due to group scheduling algorithms when running in LPAR this would lead to significant latencies. However, when running in LPAR we do not have more virtual than physical cpus. Reported-and-tested-by:

Upcoming versions of secure key management facilities (CCA and EP11) require information about the maximum number of supported ap domains in order to service TKE requests properly. With IBM z13 the number of available domains (so far 16) has increased up to 85. This number varies depending on machine types and models. Therefore the new sysfs attribute 'ap_max_domain_id' provides this limit of supported ap domains. Upcoming releases for CCA and EP11 will use this new information. Without this problem fix it is not possible to retrieve reliable information about the maximum number of supported ap domains. Thus, customers are not able to perform key management for CCA and EP11 coprocessor adapters. Signed-off-by:

Add the compare-and-delay instruction to the spin-lock and rw-lock retry loops. A CPU executing the compare-and-delay instruction stops until the lock value has changed. This is done to make the locking code for contended locks to behave better in regard to the multi- hreading facility. A thread of a core executing a compare-and-delay will allow the other threads of a core to get a larger share of the core resources. Signed-off-by:

Commit 725908110a1f ("s390: add SMT support") added a check for CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP. But the Kconfig symbol ZFCPDUMP was removed in v3.16 through commit bf28a597 ("s390/dump: Remove CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP"). So this check will always evaluate to false. No one noticed probably because the code also checks for CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP which "also enables s390 zfcpdump". Dump the unneeded check.

The multi-threading facility is introduced with the z13 processor family. This patch adds code to detect the multi-threading facility. With the facility enabled each core will surface multiple hardware threads to the system. Each hardware threads looks like a normal CPU to the operating system with all its registers and properties. The SCLP interface reports the SMT topology indirectly via the maximum thread id. Each reported CPU in the result of a read-scp-information is a core representing a number of hardware threads. To reflect the reduced CPU capacity if two hardware threads run on a single core the MT utilization counter set is used to normalize the raw cputime obtained by the CPU timer deltas. This scaled cputime is reported via the taskstats interface. The normal /proc/stat numbers are based on the raw cputime and are not affected by the normalization. Signed-off-by: -

For C language, it treats array parameter as a pointer, so sizeof for an array parameter is equal to sizeof for a pointer, which causes compiler warning (with allmodconfig by gcc 5): ./arch/s390/include/asm/timex.h: In function 'get_tod_clock_ext': ./arch/s390/include/asm/timex.h:76:32: warning: 'sizeof' on array function parameter 'clk' will return size of 'char *' [-Wsizeof-array-argument] typedef struct { char _[sizeof(clk)]; } addrtype; ^ Can use macro CLOCK_STORE_SIZE instead of all related hard code numbers, which also can avoid this warning. And also add a tab to CLOCK_TICK_RATE definition to match coding styles. [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com]: Chen's patch actually fixes a bug within the get_tod_clock_ext() inline assembly where we incorrectly tell the compiler that only 8 bytes of memory get changed instead of 16 bytes. This would allow gcc to generate incorrect code. Right now this doesn't seem to be the case. Also slightly changed the patch a bit. - renamed CLOCK_STORE_SIZE to STORE_CLOCK_EXT_SIZE - changed get_tod_clock_ext() to receive a char pointer parameter Signed-off-by:

Kernel oops caused by invalid parameter at TAPQ instruction: On older systems where the QCI instruction is not available all possible domains are probed via TAPQ instruction. The range for the probe has been extended with the > 16 domain support now leading to a possible specification exception when this instruction is called for probing higher values within the new range. This may happen during insmod and/or ap bus reset only on machines without a QCI instruction (z10, z196, z114), zEC12 and newer systems are not affected. The fix modifies the domain checking function to limit the allowed range if no QCI info is available. Signed-off-by:

Dave Hansen reports that commit fb7332a9 ("mmu_gather: move minimal range calculations into generic code") caused a performance problem: "tlb_finish_mmu() goes up about 9x in the profiles (~0.4%->3.6%) and tlb_flush_mmu_free() takes about 3.1% of CPU time with the patch applied, but does not show up at all on the commit before" and the reason is that Will moved the test for whether we need to flush from tlb_flush_mmu() into tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly(). But that meant that tlb_flush_mmu_free() basically lost that check. Move it back into tlb_flush_mmu() where it belongs, so that it covers both tlb_flush_mmu_tlbonly() _and_ tlb_flush_mmu_free().
