s390: TASK_SIZE for kernel threads

2017-06-20T12:04:26Z

commit fb94a687d96c570d46332a4a890f1dcb7310e643 upstream. Return a sensible value if TASK_SIZE if called from a kernel thread. This gets us around an issue with copy_mount_options that does a magic size calculation "TASK_SIZE - (unsigned long)data" while in a kernel thread and data pointing to kernel space.

KVM: s390: fix task size check

2017-06-20T12:04:26Z

The gmap_map_segment function uses PGDIR_SIZE in the check for the maximum address in the tasks address space. This incorrectly limits the amount of memory usable for a kvm guest to 4TB. The correct limit is (1UL << 53). As the TASK_SIZE has different values (4TB vs 8PB) dependent on the existance of the fourth page table level, create a new define 'TASK_MAX_SIZE' for (1UL << 53).

s390/cache: add cpu cache information to /proc/cpuinfo

2012-09-26T13:45:03Z

Add a line for each cpu cache to /proc/cpuinfo. Since we only have information of private cpu caches in sysfs we add a line for each cpu cache in /proc/cpuinfo which will also contain information about shared caches. For a z196 machine /proc/cpuinfo now looks like: vendor_id : IBM/S390 bogomips per cpu: 14367.00 features : esan3 zarch stfle msa ldisp eimm dfp etf3eh highgprs cache0 : level=1 type=Data scope=Private size=64K line_size=256 associativity=4 cache1 : level=1 type=Instruction scope=Private size=128K line_size=256 associativity=8 cache2 : level=2 type=Unified scope=Private size=1536K line_size=256 associativity=12 cache3 : level=3 type=Unified scope=Shared size=24576K line_size=256 associativity=12 cache4 : level=4 type=Unified scope=Shared size=196608K line_size=256 associativity=24 processor 0: version = FF, identification = 000123, machine = 2817 processor 1: version = FF, identification = 100123, machine = 2817 processor 2: version = FF, identification = 200123, machine = 2817 processor 3: version = FF, identification = 200123, machine = 2817 Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: add support for transactional memory

2012-09-26T13:45:02Z

Allow user-space processes to use transactional execution (TX). If the TX facility is available user space programs can use transactions for fine-grained serialization based on the data objects that are referenced during a transaction. This is useful for lockless data structures and speculative compiler optimizations. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
