Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky: "The most notable change for this pull request is the ftrace rework from Heiko. It brings a small performance improvement and the ground work to support a new gcc option to replace the mcount blocks with a single nop. Two new s390 specific system calls are added to emulate user space mmio for PCI, an artifact of the how PCI memory is accessed. Two patches for the memory management with changes to common code. For KVM mm_forbids_zeropage is added which disables the empty zero page for an mm that is used by a KVM process. And an optimization, pmdp_get_and_clear_full is added analog to ptep_get_and_clear_full. Some micro optimization for the cmpxchg and the spinlock code. And as usual bug fixes and cleanups" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (46 commits) s390/cputime: fix 31-bit compile s390/scm_block: make the number of reqs per HW req configurable s390/scm_block: handle multiple requests in one HW request s390/scm_block: allocate aidaw pages only when necessary s390/scm_block: use mempool to manage aidaw requests s390/eadm: change timeout value s390/mm: fix memory leak of ptlock in pmd_free_tlb s390: use local symbol names in entry[64].S s390/ptrace: always include vector registers in core files s390/simd: clear vector register pointer on fork/clone s390: translate cputime magic constants to macros s390/idle: convert open coded idle time seqcount s390/idle: add missing irq off lockdep annotation s390/debug: avoid function call for debug_sprintf_* s390/kprobes: fix instruction copy for out of line execution s390: remove diag 44 calls from cpu_relax() s390/dasd: retry partition detection s390/dasd: fix list corruption for sleep_on requests s390/dasd: fix infinite term I/O loop s390/dasd: remove unused code ...

net: sock: allow eBPF programs to be attached to sockets

2014-12-06T05:47:32Z

introduce new setsockopt() command: setsockopt(sock, SOL_SOCKET, SO_ATTACH_BPF, &prog_fd, sizeof(prog_fd)) where prog_fd was received from syscall bpf(BPF_PROG_LOAD, attr, ...) and attr->prog_type == BPF_PROG_TYPE_SOCKET_FILTER setsockopt() calls bpf_prog_get() which increments refcnt of the program, so it doesn't get unloaded while socket is using the program. The same eBPF program can be attached to multiple sockets. User task exit automatically closes socket which calls sk_filter_uncharge() which decrements refcnt of eBPF program Signed-off-by: Alexei Starovoitov Signed-off-by: David S. Miller

s390/kernel: add system calls for PCI memory access

2014-11-19T08:46:43Z

Add the new __NR_s390_pci_mmio_write and __NR_s390_pci_mmio_read system calls to allow user space applications to access device PCI I/O memory pages on s390x platform. [ Martin Schwidefsky: some code beautification ] Signed-off-by: Alexey Ishchuk Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

net: introduce SO_INCOMING_CPU

2014-11-11T18:00:06Z

Alternative to RPS/RFS is to use hardware support for multiple queues. Then split a set of million of sockets into worker threads, each one using epoll() to manage events on its own socket pool. Ideally, we want one thread per RX/TX queue/cpu, but we have no way to know after accept() or connect() on which queue/cpu a socket is managed. We normally use one cpu per RX queue (IRQ smp_affinity being properly set), so remembering on socket structure which cpu delivered last packet is enough to solve the problem. After accept(), connect(), or even file descriptor passing around processes, applications can use : int cpu; socklen_t len = sizeof(cpu); getsockopt(fd, SOL_SOCKET, SO_INCOMING_CPU, &cpu, &len); And use this information to put the socket into the right silo for optimal performance, as all networking stack should run on the appropriate cpu, without need to send IPI (RPS/RFS).

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky: "This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in regard to the s390 architecture. It is a bit bigger than usual, mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches. The interesting bits are: - Quite a bit of work on the tracing front. Uprobes is enabled and the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled. - To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the IPTE range facility is added. - The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be able to use the interlocked-access instructions. - The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added. - The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process. - Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration. - The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used. - Bug fixes" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (39 commits) s390/ftrace: simplify enabling/disabling of ftrace_graph_caller s390/ftrace: remove 31 bit ftrace support s390/kdump: add support for vector extension s390/disassembler: add vector instructions s390: add support for vector extension s390/zcrypt: Toleration of new crypto hardware s390/idle: consolidate idle functions and definitions s390/nohz: use a per-cpu flag for arch_needs_cpu s390/vtime: do not reset idle data on CPU hotplug s390/dasd: add support for control unit initiated reconfiguration s390/dasd: fix infinite loop during format s390/mm: make use of ipte range facility s390/setup: correct 4-level kernel page table detection s390/topology: call set_sched_topology early s390/uprobes: architecture backend for uprobes s390/uprobes: common library for kprobes and uprobes s390/rwlock: use the interlocked-access facility 1 instructions s390/rwlock: improve writer fairness s390/rwlock: remove interrupt-enabling rwlock variant. s390/mm: remove change bit override support ...

s390: add support for vector extension

2014-10-09T07:14:13Z

The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of instruction to operate on the vector registers. The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers. Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Pull KVM updates from Paolo Bonzini: "Fixes and features for 3.18. Apart from the usual cleanups, here is the summary of new features: - s390 moves closer towards host large page support - PowerPC has improved support for debugging (both inside the guest and via gdbstub) and support for e6500 processors - ARM/ARM64 support read-only memory (which is necessary to put firmware in emulated NOR flash) - x86 has the usual emulator fixes and nested virtualization improvements (including improved Windows support on Intel and Jailhouse hypervisor support on AMD), adaptive PLE which helps overcommitting of huge guests. Also included are some patches that make KVM more friendly to memory hot-unplug, and fixes for rare caching bugs. Two patches have trivial mm/ parts that were acked by Rik and Andrew.

KVM: s390: synchronize more registers with kvm_run

2014-08-25T12:35:53Z

In order to reduce the number of syscalls when dropping to user space, this patch enables the synchronization of the following "registers" with kvm_run: - ARCH0: CPU timer, clock comparator, TOD programmable register, guest breaking-event register, program parameter - PFAULT: pfault parameters (token, select, compare) The registers are grouped to reduce the overhead when syncing. As this grows the number of sync registers quite a bit, let's move the code synchronizing registers with kvm_run from kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_run() into separate helper routines.
