      s390: remove all code using the access register mode · 0aaba41b
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The vdso code for the getcpu() and the clock_gettime() call use the access
      register mode to access the per-CPU vdso data page with the current code.
      
      An alternative to the complicated AR mode is to use the secondary space
      mode. This makes the vdso faster and quite a bit simpler. The downside is
      that the uaccess code has to be changed quite a bit.
      
      Which instructions are used depends on the machine and what kind of uaccess
      operation is requested. The instruction dictates which ASCE value needs
      to be loaded into %cr1 and %cr7.
      
      The different cases:
      
      * User copy with MVCOS for z10 and newer machines
        The MVCOS instruction can copy between the primary space (aka user) and
        the home space (aka kernel) directly. For set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the kernel
        ASCE is loaded into %cr1. For set_fs(USER_DS) the user space is already
        loaded in %cr1.
      
      * User copy with MVCP/MVCS for older machines
        To be able to execute the MVCP/MVCS instructions the kernel needs to
        switch to primary mode. The control register %cr1 has to be set to the
        kernel ASCE and %cr7 to either the kernel ASCE or the user ASCE dependent
        on set_fs(KERNEL_DS) vs set_fs(USER_DS).
      
      * Data access in the user address space for strnlen / futex
        To use "normal" instruction with data from the user address space the
        secondary space mode is used. The kernel needs to switch to primary mode,
        %cr1 has to contain the kernel ASCE and %cr7 either the user ASCE or the
        kernel ASCE, dependent on set_fs.
      
      To load a new value into %cr1 or %cr7 is an expensive operation, the kernel
      tries to be lazy about it. E.g. for multiple user copies in a row with
      MVCP/MVCS the replacement of the vdso ASCE in %cr7 with the user ASCE is
      done only once. On return to user space a CPU bit is checked that loads the
      vdso ASCE again.
      
      To enable and disable the data access via the secondary space two new
      functions are added, enable_sacf_uaccess and disable_sacf_uaccess. The fact
      that a context is in secondary space uaccess mode is stored in the
      mm_segment_t value for the task. The code of an interrupt may use set_fs
      as long as it returns to the previous state it got with get_fs with another
      call to set_fs. The code in finish_arch_post_lock_switch simply has to do a
      set_fs with the current mm_segment_t value for the task.
      
      For CPUs with MVCOS:
      
      CPU running in                        | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE |
      --------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
      user space                            |  user     |  vdso     |

      kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode, lazy    |  user     |  user     |
      kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode            |  kernel   |  user     |

      kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode          |  kernel   |  kernel   |
      
      For CPUs without MVCOS:
      
      CPU running in                        | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE |
      --------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
      user space                            |  user     |  vdso     |
      kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode          |  user     |  vdso     |
      kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode lazy     |  kernel   |  user     |
      kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode            |  kernel   |  user     |
      kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode        |  kernel   |  vdso     |
      kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode, lazy  |  kernel   |  kernel   |
      kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode          |  kernel   |  kernel   |
      
      The lines with "lazy" refer to the state after a copy via the secondary
      space with a delayed reload of %cr1 and %cr7.
      
      There are three hardware address spaces that can cause a DAT exception,
      primary, secondary and home space. The exception can be related to
      four different fault types: user space fault, vdso fault, kernel fault,
      and the gmap faults.
      
      Dependent on the set_fs state and normal vs. sacf mode there are a number
      of fault combinations:
      
      1) user address space fault via the primary ASCE
      2) gmap address space fault via the primary ASCE
      3) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for machines with
         MVCOS and set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
      4) vdso address space faults via the secondary ASCE with an invalid
         address while running in secondary space in problem state
      5) user address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy
         based on the secondary space mode, e.g. futex_ops or strnlen_user
      6) kernel address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy
         with secondary space mode with set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
      7) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for user-copy
         with secondary space mode with set_fs(USER_DS) on machines without
         MVCOS.
      8) kernel address space fault via the home space ASCE
      
      Replace user_space_fault() with a new function get_fault_type() that
      can distinguish all four different fault types.
      
      With these changes the futex atomic ops from the kernel and the
      strnlen_user will get a little bit slower, as well as the old style
      uaccess with MVCP/MVCS. All user accesses based on MVCOS will be as
      fast as before. On the positive side, the user space vdso code is a
      lot faster and Linux ceases to use the complicated AR mode.

      s390/mm,kvm: improve detection of KVM guest faults · c771320e
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The identification of guest fault currently relies on the PF_VCPU flag.
      This is set in guest_entry_irqoff and cleared in guest_exit_irqoff.
      Both functions are called by __vcpu_run, the PF_VCPU flag is set for
      quite a lot of kernel code outside of the guest execution.
      
      Replace the PF_VCPU scheme with the PIF_GUEST_FAULT in the pt_regs and
      make the program check handler code in entry.S set the bit only for
      exception that occurred between the .Lsie_gmap and .Lsie_done labels.

      s390/noexec: execute kexec datamover without DAT · d0e810ee
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Rebooting into a new kernel with kexec fails (system dies) if tried on
      a machine that has no-execute support. Reason for this is that the so
      called datamover code gets executed with DAT on (MMU is active) and
      the page that contains the datamover is marked as non-executable.
      Therefore when branching into the datamover an unexpected program
      check happens and afterwards the machine is dead.
      
      This can be simply avoided by disabling DAT, which also disables any
      no-execute checks, just before the datamover gets executed.
      
      In fact the first thing done by the datamover is to disable DAT. The
      code in the datamover that disables DAT can be removed as well.
      
      Thanks to Michael Holzheu and Gerald Schaefer for tracking this down.

      There are several bugs with control register handling with respect to
      transactional execution:
      
      - on task switch update_per_regs() is only called if the next task has
        an mm (is not a kernel thread). This however is incorrect. This
        breaks e.g. for user mode helper handling, where the kernel creates
        a kernel thread and then execve's a user space program. Control
        register contents related to transactional execution won't be
        updated on execve. If the previous task ran with transactional
        execution disabled then the new task will also run with
        transactional execution disabled, which is incorrect. Therefore call
        update_per_regs() unconditionally within switch_to().
      
      - on startup the transactional execution facility is not enabled for
        the idle thread. This is not really a bug, but an inconsistency to
        other facilities. Therefore enable the facility if it is available.
      
      - on fork the new thread's per_flags field is not cleared. This means
        that a child process inherits the PER_FLAG_NO_TE flag. This flag can
        be set with a ptrace request to disable transactional execution for
        the current process. It should not be inherited by new child
        processes in order to be consistent with the handling of all other
        PER related debugging options. Therefore clear the per_flags field in
        copy_thread_tls().

      License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license · b2441318
      Greg Kroah-Hartman 提交于
      Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
      makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
      
      By default all files without license information are under the default
      license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
      
      Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
      SPDX license identifier.  The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
      shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
      
      This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
      Philippe Ombredanne.
      
      How this work was done:
      
      Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
      the use cases:
       - file had no licensing information it it.
       - file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
       - file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
      
      Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
      where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
      had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
      
      The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
      a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
      output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
      tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.  Philippe prepared the
      base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
      
      The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
      assessed.  Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
      results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
      to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
      immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
       - Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
       - Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
         lines of source
       - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
         lines).
      
      All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
      
      The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
      identifiers to apply.
      
       - when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
         considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
         COPYING file license applied.
      
         For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0                                              11139
      
         and resulted in the first patch in this series.
      
         If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
         Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0".  Results of that was:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|-------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                        930
      
         and resulted in the second patch in this series.
      
       - if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
         of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
         any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
         it (per prior point).  Results summary:
      
         SPDX license identifier                            # files
         ---------------------------------------------------|------
         GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note                       270
         GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                      169
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause)    21
         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    17

         ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause)    5
         LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note                       4

         ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT)             1
      
         and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
      
       - when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
         the concluded license(s).
      
       - when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
         license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
         licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
      
       - In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
         resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
         which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
      
       - When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
         confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
       - If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
         the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
         in time.
      
      In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
      spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
      source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
      by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
      
      Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
      FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
      disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.  The
      Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
      they are related.
      
      Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
      for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
      files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
      in about 15000 files.
      
      In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
      copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
      correct identifier.
      
      Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
      inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
      version early this week with:
       - a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
         license ids and scores
       - reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
         files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
       - reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
         was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
         SPDX license was correct
      
      This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction.  This
      worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
      different types of files to be modified.
      
      These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg.  Thomas wrote a script to
      parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
      format that the file expected.  This script was further refined by Greg
      based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
      distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
      comment types.)  Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
      generate the patches.

      s390/kvm: fix detection of guest machine checks · 0a5e2ec2
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The new detection code for guest machine checks added a check based
      on %r11 to .Lcleanup_sie to distinguish between normal asynchronous
      interrupts and machine checks. But the funtion is called from the
      program check handler as well with an undefined value in %r11.
      
      The effect is that all program exceptions pointing to the SIE instruction
      will set the CIF_MCCK_GUEST bit. The bit stays set for the CPU until the
       next machine check comes in which will incorrectly be interpreted as a
      guest machine check.
      
      The simplest fix is to stop using .Lcleanup_sie in the program check
      handler and duplicate a few instructions.
      
      Fixes: c929500d ("s390/nmi: s390: New low level handling for machine check happening in guest")

      s390/spinlock: introduce spinlock wait queueing · b96f7d88
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The queued spinlock code for s390 follows the principles of the common
      code qspinlock implementation but with a few notable differences.
      
      The format of the spinlock_t locking word differs, s390 needs to store
      the logical CPU number of the lock holder in the spinlock_t to be able
      to use the diagnose 9c directed yield hypervisor call.
      
      The inline code sequences for spin_lock and spin_unlock are nice and
      short. The inline portion of a spin_lock now typically looks like this:
      
      	lhi	%r0,0			# 0 indicates an empty lock
      	l	%r1,0x3a0		# CPU number + 1 from lowcore
      	cs	%r0,%r1,<some_lock>	# lock operation
      	jnz	call_wait		# on failure call wait function
      locked:
      	...
      call_wait:
      	la	%r2,<some_lock>
      	brasl	%r14,arch_spin_lock_wait
      	j	locked
      
      A spin_unlock is as simple as before:
      
      	lhi	%r0,0
      	sth	%r0,2(%r2)		# unlock operation
      
      After a CPU has queued itself it may not enable interrupts again for the
      arch_spin_lock_flags() variant. The arch_spin_lock_wait_flags wait function
      is removed.
      
      To improve performance the code implements opportunistic lock stealing.
      If the wait function finds a spinlock_t that indicates that the lock is
      free but there are queued waiters, the CPU may steal the lock up to three
      times without queueing itself. The lock stealing update the steal counter
      in the lock word to prevent more than 3 steals. The counter is reset at
      the time the CPU next in the queue successfully takes the lock.
      
      While the queued spinlocks improve performance in a system with dedicated
      CPUs, in a virtualized environment with continuously overcommitted CPUs
      the queued spinlocks can have a negative effect on performance. This
      is due to the fact that a queued CPU that is preempted by the hypervisor
      will block the queue at some point even without holding the lock. With
      the classic spinlock it does not matter if a CPU is preempted that waits
      for the lock. Therefore use the queued spinlock code only if the system
      runs with dedicated CPUs and fall back to classic spinlocks when running
      with shared CPUs.
