NET_SKB_PAD has been increased from 32 to 64 and later to
max(32, L1_CACHE_BYTES). This led to a 25% throughput decrease for
streaming workloads accompanied by a 37% CPU cost increase on s390.
Define a architecture specific NET_SKB_PAD with the old value of 32.

The 'output' variable is passed from decompress_kernel to
check_ipl_parmblock before it is initialized. That disables the
safe guard against the overwrite of the ipl parameter block.
Fix this by passing the correct value to check_ipl_parmblock.

crypto: sha-s390 - Reset index after processing partial block
|
|
task_show_regs used to be a debugging aid in the early bringup days
of Linux on s390. /proc/<pid>/status is a world readable file, it
is not a good idea to show the registers of a process. The only
correct fix is to remove task_show_regs.

The partial block handling in sha-s390 is broken when we get a
partial block that is followed by an update which fills it with
bytes left-over. Instead of storing the newly left-over bytes
at the start of the buffer, it will be stored immediately after
the previous partial block.
This patch fixes this by resetting the index pointer.

IA64 support forces us to abstract the allocation of the kvm structure.
But instead of mixing this up with arch-specific initialization and
doing the same on destruction, split both steps. This allows to move
generic destruction calls into generic code.
It also fixes error clean-up on failures of kvm_create_vm for IA64.

The vdso object is currently always mapped with mm->mmap_base used as
requested address. In case of flexible mmap layout this means it gets
mapped above mmap_base and therefore potentially stealing a bit of
address space that is reserved for the stack.
In case of flexible mmap layout the object should be mapped below
mmap base. For legacy mmap layout above.
To fix this just don't request any specific address and let the mmap
code figure out an address that fits.

Consider stack address randomization when calulating mmap_base for
flexible mmap layout . Because of address randomization the stack
address can be up to 8MB lower than STACK_TOP.
When calculating mmap_base this isn't taken into account, which could
lead to the case that the gap between the real stack top and mmap_base
is lower than what ulimit specifies for the maximum stack size.

The spinning mutex implementation uses cpu_relax() in busy loops as a
compiler barrier. Depending on the architecture, cpu_relax() may do more
than needed in this specific mutex spin loops. On System z we also give
up the time slice of the virtual cpu in cpu_relax(), which prevents
effective spinning on the mutex.
This patch replaces cpu_relax() in the spinning mutex code with
arch_mutex_cpu_relax(), which can be defined by each architecture that
selects HAVE_ARCH_MUTEX_CPU_RELAX. The default is still cpu_relax(), so
this patch should not affect other architectures than System z for now.

Introduce a scan treshold for the qdio outbound queues. By setting the
threshold the driver can tell qdio after how much used SBALs qdio
should schedule the outbound tasklet that scans the queue for finished
SBALs. The threshold is specific by the drivers because a
Hipersockets device is much faster in utilizing outbound buffers than a
ZFCP or OSA device.
The default values after how many used SBALs the tasklet should run are:
OSA: > 31 SBALs
Hipersockets: > 7 SBALs
zfcp: > 55 SBALs
