Introduce a module parameter to specify the number of requests we try to handle with one HW request. Suggested-by: Peter Oberparleiter <peter.oberparleiter@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Sebastian Ott <sebott@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Handle up to 8 block layer requests per HW request. These requests can be processed in parallel on the device leading to better throughput (and less interrupts). The overhead for additional requests is small since we don't blindly allocate new aidaws but try to use what's left of the previous one.

AOBs (the structure describing the HW request) need to be 4K aligned but very little of that page is actually used. With this patch we place aidaws at the end of the AOB page and only allocate a separate page for aidaws when we have to (lists of aidaws must not cross page boundaries).

On machines with support for vector registers the signal frame includes an area for the vector registers and the ptrace regset interface allow read and write. This is true even if the task never used any vector instruction. Only elf core dumps do not include the vector registers, to make things consistent always include the vector register note in core dumps create on a machine with vector register support.

The copy_thread function fails to reset the p->thread.vxrs pointer. This causes the child to use the same vector register save area, causing both data corruptions and multiple frees of the memory for the save area after the tasks sharing the save area terminate.

debug_sprintf_event/exception are called even for debug events with a disabling debug level. All other functions already do the check in a wrapper function. Lets do the same here. Due to the var_args the compiler rejects to make this function inline. So let's wrap this via a macro. This patch saves around 80 ns on my z196 for a KVM round trip (we have two debug statements for entry and exit) when KVM is build as a module. The savings for built-in drivers is smaller as we then avoid the PLT overhead for a function call.

When we generate the instruction for out of line execution the length of the to be copied instruction was evaluated from a not initialized memory location. Therefore we ended up with a random (2, 4 or 6) number of bytes being copied instead of taking the real instruction length into account. This works surprisingly well most of the time, but still not always.

Simplify cpu_relax() to a simple barrier(). Performance wise this doesn't seem to make any big difference anymore, since nearly all lock variants have directed yield semantics in the meantime.

During device activation all paths could be lost and since the device is not active it has no indication of this fact - hence the CQR will time-out. The following cancelation might fail with -EINVAL because CIO took over control and started path verification. In this case mark the CQR as being CLEARED since it could not be running any more.

The common code ftrace_return_address(n), which is just a wrapper for __builtin_return_address(n), will only work for n > 0 if CONFIG_FRAME_POINTER is set to 'y'. Otherwise it will return 0. Since on s390 we will never have that config option set to 'y' ftrace_return_address() won't work at all for n > 0. Luckily we always compile the kernel with -mkernel-backchain which in turn means that __builtin_return_address(n) will always work. So let ftrace_return_address(n) map to __builtin_return_address(n).

Translation exceptions should never happen, since that implies that either we screwed up the page tables or missed to properly flush the TLB. In both cases we should not just simply kill user space or walk the kernel exception tables. Instead an oops or a panic (panic_on_oops) is the better answer.

It always confuses me to see the mixed instruction length code and interruption code on user space faults, while the message clearly says it is the interruption code. So split the value and print both values separately. Also add the ILC output to the die() message, so thar user and kernel space faults contain the same information.

s390s arch_setup_msi_irqs function ensures that we don't return with more irqs than the PCI architecture allows and that a single PCI function doesn't consume more irqs than the kernel is configured for. At least the last check doesn't help much and should take the sum of all irqs into account. Since that's already done by irq_alloc_desc we can remove this check. As for the first check we should use the value provided by the firmware which can be less than what the PCI architecture allows.

The kernel build for s390 fails for gcc compilers with version 3.x, set the minimum required version of gcc to version 4.3. As the atomic builtins are available with all gcc 4.x compilers, use the __sync_val_compare_and_swap and __sync_bool_compare_and_swap functions to replace the complex macro and inline assembler magic in include/asm/cmpxchg.h. The compiler can just-do-it and generates better code with the builtins. While we are at it use __sync_bool_compare_and_swap for the _raw_compare_and_swap function in the spinlock code as well.

If the function tracer is enabled, allow to set kprobes on the first instruction of a function (which is the function trace caller): If no kprobe is set handling of enabling and disabling function tracing of a function simply patches the first instruction. Either it is a nop (right now it's an unconditional branch, which skips the mcount block), or it's a branch to the ftrace_caller() function. If a kprobe is being placed on a function tracer calling instruction we encode if we actually have a nop or branch in the remaining bytes after the breakpoint instruction (illegal opcode). This is possible, since the size of the instruction used for the nop and branch is six bytes, while the size of the breakpoint is only two bytes. Therefore the first two bytes contain the illegal opcode and the last four bytes contain either "0" for nop or "1" for branch. The kprobes code will then execute/simulate the correct instruction. Instruction patching for kprobes and function tracer is always done with stop_machine(). Therefore we don't have any races where an instruction is patched concurrently on a different cpu. Besides that also the program check handler which executes the function trace caller instruction won't be executed concurrently to any stop_machine() execution. This allows to keep full fault based kprobes handling which generates correct pt_regs contents automatically.
