s390/idle: consolidate idle functions and definitions

2014-10-09T07:14:03+00:00

Move the C functions and definitions related to the idle state handling
to arch/s390/include/asm/idle.h and arch/s390/kernel/idle.c. The function
s390_get_idle_time is renamed to arch_cpu_idle_time and vtime_stop_cpu to
enabled_wait.

s390: split TIF bits into CIF, PIF and TIF bits

2014-05-20T06:58:47+00:00

The oi and ni instructions used in entry[64].S to set and clear bits
in the thread-flags are not guaranteed to be atomic in regard to other
CPUs. Split the TIF bits into CPU, pt_regs and thread-info specific
bits. Updates on the TIF bits are done with atomic instructions,
updates on CPU and pt_regs bits are done with non-atomic instructions.

s390/mm: optimize randomize_et_dyn for !PF_RANDOMIZE

2013-12-18T16:36:38+00:00

Skip the call to brk_rnd() if the PF_RANDOMIZE flag is not set for
the process. This avoids the costly get_random_int() call. Modify
arch_randomize_brk() as well to make it look like randomize_et_dyn().

s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control register

2013-10-24T15:17:11+00:00

The FPC_VALID_MASK has been used to check the validity of the value
to be loaded into the floating-point-control register. With the
introduction of the floating-point extension facility and the
decimal-floating-point additional bits have been defined which need
to be checked in a non straight forward way. So far these bits have
been ignored which can cause an incorrect results for decimal-
floating-point operations, e.g. an incorrect rounding mode to be
set after signal return.

The static check with the FPC_VALID_MASK is replaced with a trial
load of the floating-point-control value, see test_fp_ctl.

In addition an information leak with the padding word between the
floating-point-control word and the floating-point registers in
the s390_fp_regs is fixed.

s390/uaccess: always run the kernel in home space

2013-10-24T15:16:57+00:00

Simplify the uaccess code by removing the user_mode=home option.
The kernel will now always run in the home space mode.

s390/time: return with irqs disabled from psw_idle

2013-08-28T07:19:23+00:00

Modify the psw_idle waiting logic in entry[64].S to return with
interrupts disabled. This avoids potential issues with udelay
and interrupt loops as interrupts are not reenabled after
clock comparator interrupts.
