arch/hotplug: Call into idle with a proper state

2016-03-01T19:36:57Z

Let the non boot cpus call into idle with the corresponding hotplug state, so the hotplug core can handle the further bringup. That's a first step to convert the boot side of the hotplugged cpus to do all the synchronization with the other side through the state machine. For now it'll only start the hotplug thread and kick the full bringup of the cpu. Signed-off-by: Thomas Gleixner Cc: linux-arch@vger.kernel.org Cc: Rik van Riel Cc: Rafael Wysocki Cc: "Srivatsa S.

s390: remove superfluous memblock_alloc() return value checks

2016-01-19T11:14:02Z

memblock_alloc() and memblock_alloc_base() will panic on their own if they can't find free memory. Therefore remove some pointless checks. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Acked-by: Michael Holzheu Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: rename struct _lowcore to struct lowcore

2016-01-11T11:27:15Z

Finally get rid of the leading underscore. I tried this already two or three years ago, however Michael Holzheu objected since this would break the crash utility (again). However Michael integrated support for the new name into the crash utility back then, so it doesn't break if the name will be changed now. So finally get rid of the ever confusing leading underscore.

s390/smp: save timestamp on external calls

2015-12-18T13:59:31Z

This is supposed to make debugging easier: if within a dump we can see that an external call or emergency signal IPI is pending but all cpus are idle, we have no idea for how long the interrupt is outstanding. Therefore save a timestamp into the per cpu pcpu array of the target cpu whenever such an IPI is sent. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/dump: cleanup CPU save area handling

2015-11-27T08:24:14Z

Introduce save_area_alloc(), save_area_boot_cpu(), save_area_add_regs() and save_area_add_vxrs to deal with storing the CPU state in case of a system dump. Remove struct save_area and save_area_ext, and create a new struct save_area as a local definition to arch/s390/kernel/crash_dump.c. Copy each individual field from the hardware status area to the save area, storing the minimum of required data. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/dump: rework CPU register dump code

2015-11-27T08:24:14Z

To collect the CPU registers of the crashed system allocated a single page with memblock_alloc_base and use it as a copy buffer. Replace the stop-and-store-status sigp with a store-status-at-address sigp in smp_save_dump_cpus() and smp_store_status(). In both cases the target CPU is already stopped and store-status-at-address avoids the detour via the absolute zero page. For kexec simplify s390_reset_system and call store_status() before the prefix register of the boot CPU has been set to zero. Use STPX to store the prefix register and remove dump_prefix_page.

s390/dump: remove SAVE_AREA_BASE

2015-11-27T08:24:14Z

Replace the SAVE_AREA_BASE offset calculations in reipl.S with the assembler constant for the location of each register status area. Use __LC_FPREGS_SAVE_AREA instead of SAVE_AREA_BASE in the three remaining code locations and remove the definition of SAVE_AREA_BASE. Acked-by: Michael Holzheu Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/dump: streamline oldmem copy functions

2015-11-27T08:24:12Z

Introduce two copy functions for the memory of the dumped system, copy_oldmem_kernel() to copy to the virtual kernel address space and copy_oldmem_user() to copy to user space. Acked-by: Michael Holzheu Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/kdump: remove code to create ELF notes in the crashed system

2015-11-27T08:24:12Z

The s390 architecture can store the CPU registers of the crashed system after the kdump kernel has been started and this is the preferred way. Remove the remaining code fragments that deal with storing CPU registers while the crashed system is still active. Acked-by: Michael Holzheu Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/cpumf: rework program parameter setting to detect guest samples

2015-10-14T12:32:12Z

The program parameter can be used to mark hardware samples with some token. Previously, it was used to mark guest samples only. Improve the program parameter doubleword by combining two parts, the leftmost LPP part and the rightmost PID part. Set the PID part for processes by using the task PID. To distinguish host and guest samples for the kernel (PID part is zero), the guest must always set the program paramater to a non-zero value. Use the leftmost bit in the LPP part of the program parameter to be able to detect guest kernel samples. [brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com]: Split __LC_CURRENT and introduced __LC_LPP. Corrected __LC_CURRENT users and adjusted assembler parts. And updated the commit message accordingly.
