s390/vmalloc: have separate modules area

2012-10-09T12:17:01Z

Add a special module area on top of the vmalloc area, which may be only used for modules and bpf jit generated code. This makes sure that inter module branches will always happen without a trampoline and in addition having all the code within a 2GB frame is branch prediction unit friendly.

s390/mm: use pfmf instruction to initialize storage keys

2012-10-09T12:16:55Z

Make use of the pfmf instruction, if available, to initialize storage keys of whole 1MB or 2GB frames instead of initializing every single page with the sske instruction. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/kexec: remove CONFIG_KEXEC

2012-09-26T13:45:24Z

Since "Kconfig: split the s390 base menu" CONFIG_KEXEC gets always selected. Therefore there is no point in keeping CONFIG_KEXEC anywhere. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/mm: shorten addressing mode initialization

2012-09-26T13:45:06Z

Shorten the code for addressing mode initialization. Also add missing __init annotations, since this code is only used during kernel initialization. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/mm: rename addressing_mode to s390_user_mode

2012-09-26T13:45:05Z

Renaming the globally visible variable "user_mode" to "addressing_mode" in order to fix a name clash was not a good idea. (Commit 37fe1d73 "s390/mm: rename user_mode variable to addressing_mode") Looking at the code after a couple of weeks one thinks: addressing mode of what? So rename the variable again. This time to s390_user_mode. Which hopefully makes more sense. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/mm: change default addressing mode

2012-09-26T13:45:04Z

Change the default addressing mode so that user space runs in primary space and the kernel runs in home space. In addition remove the "switch_amode" kernel parameter so all users who already specified they want the new default behaviour will stay in the "switched" mode instead of in the opposite they intended. If there is a need to switch addressing modes, this can be done with the "user_mode" kernel parameter: user_mode=home 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

s390/hwcaps: do not report high gprs for 31 bit kernel

2012-09-10T07:53:52Z

The bit for high gprs in the AT_HWCAP auxiliary vector field and the highgprs tag in the output of /proc/cpuinfo should not be set for 31 bit kernels. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/mm: rename user_mode variable to addressing_mode

2012-07-30T09:03:11Z

Fix name clash with user_mode() define which is also used in common code. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
