2010-02-26[S390] Cleanup struct _lowcore usage and defines.Heiko Carstens
Use asm offsets to make sure the offset defines to struct _lowcore and its layout don't get out of sync. Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON() which checks that the size of the structure is sane. And while being at it change those sites which use odd casts to access the current lowcore. These should use S390_lowcore instead.

2009-12-07[S390] Improve address space mode selection.Martin Schwidefsky
Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values: 1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0 2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0 3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1 They get replaced by 1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE 2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE 3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets you choose the address space mode the user space processes should use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option is removed. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2009-06-12[S390] vdso: kernel parameter syntaxMartin Schwidefsky
The syntax of the vdso kernel parameter is documented as vdso=[on|off]. The implementation uses vdso=[0|1], an invalid parameter string disables the vdso support. Fix the mismatch by adding vdso=[on|off] as additional parameter syntax. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

If sigp_set_prefix fails on __cpu_up we leak the lowcore structures and async+panic stacks for the failed cpu. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

!CONFIG_SMP: arch/s390/kernel/vdso.c: In function 'vdso_init': arch/s390/kernel/vdso.c:325: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of 'vdso_alloc_per_cpu' Also move the code out of the BUG_ON statement since it won't be executed on !CONFIG_BUG.

2008-12-31[PATCH] fast vdso implementation for CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_IDMartin Schwidefsky
The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.
