* [S390] Improve address space mode selection.Martin Schwidefsky2009-12-071-4/+5
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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>

* Use macros for .data.page_aligned section.Tim Abbott2009-09-211-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch changes the remaining direct references to .data.page_aligned in C and assembly code to use the macros in include/linux/linkage.h.

* [S390] vdso: kernel parameter syntaxMartin Schwidefsky2009-06-121-2/+13
| | | | | | | | | 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>
* [S390] smp: fix memory leak on __cpu_upHeiko Carstens2009-03-261-2/+0

| | | | | | | | | | | | | !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. And that would be a bug. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [PATCH] fast vdso implementation for CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_IDMartin Schwidefsky2008-12-311-3/+120
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [S390] introduce vdso on s390Martin Schwidefsky2008-12-251-0/+234
