The patch "s390/perf: add support for the CPU-Measurement Sampling Facility" added a new instance of the __cpuinit macro usage. We removed this a couple versions ago; we now want to remove the compat no-op stubs. Introducing new users is not what we want to see at this point in time, as it will break once the stubs are gone.

PSW32_USER_BITS should define the primary address space for user space instead of the home address space. Symptom of this bug is that gdb doesn't work in compat mode. The bug was introduced with e258d719 "s390/uaccess: always run the kernel in home space" and f26946d7 "s390/compat: make psw32_user_bits a constant value again".

When calling set_{on,off}line of a ccwgroup device driver we hold the module reference of the owner. This is pretty useless - we don't want to prevent module unloading but driver unbinding. Use the driver core's device_lock instead. Reviewed-by:Peter Oberparleiter <oberpar@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by:

Add the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag to process only sample-data-blocks that have the block-full-indicator bit set. Sample-data-blocks that are partially filled are discarded. Use this flag if the sampling buffer is likely to be shared among perf events that use different sampling modes. In such environments, flushing sample-data-blocks that are not completely filled, might cause invalid-data-formats. Setting PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS prevents potentially invalid sampling data to be processed but, in contrast, also discards valid samples in partially filled sample-data-blocks. Note that sample-data-blocks might not become full for small sampling frequencies or for workload that is scheduled for tiny intervals. To sample with the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag, set the perf->attr.config1 to 0x0004. For example: perf record -e cpum_sf/config=0xB000,config1=0x0004/ Signed-off-by:

Also support the diagnostic-sampling function in addition to the basic-sampling function. Diagnostic-sampling data entries contain hardware model specific sampling data and additional programs are required to analyze the data. To deliver diagnostic-sampling, as well, as basis-sampling data entries to user space, introduce support for sampling "raw data". If this particular perf sampling type (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW) is used, sampling data entries are copied to user space. External programs can then analyze these data. Signed-off-by:

The host-program-parameter (hpp) value of basic sample-data-entries designates a SIE control block that is set by the LPP instruction in sie64a(). Non-zero values indicate guest samples, a value of zero indicates a host sample. For perf samples, host and guest samples are distinguished using particular PERF_MISC_* flags. The perf layer calls perf_misc_flags() to set the flags based on the pt_regs content. For each sample-data-entry, the cpum_sf PMU creates a pt_regs structure with the sample-data information. An additional flag structure is added to easily distinguish between host and guest samples. Signed-off-by:

Improve the sampling buffer allocation and add a function to reallocate and increase the sampling buffer structure. The number of allocated buffer elements (sample-data-blocks) are accounted. You can control the minimum and maximum number these sample-data-blocks through the cpum_sfb_size kernel parameter. The number hardware sample overflows (if any) are also accounted and stored per perf event. During the PMU disable/enable calls, the accumulated overflow counter is analyzed and, if necessary, the sampling buffer is dynamically increased. Signed-off-by:

Hendrik Brueckner authored
The early sclp detect functions gather the available SCLP facility information. The sclp_early_read_info_sccb_valid indicates whether the early sclp request was valid. However, one external reference to it checks for particular sclp facility bits and this should be sufficient. Another occurance is in the sclp_get_ipl_info() function that is called later. Because all information are available at the early stage, save the ipl information when detecting the sclp facilities. Hence, no more checks for sclp_early_read_info_sccb_valid are required.
