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 | user | vdso | kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode, lazy | user | 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 | 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.

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 LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15 GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14 ((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5 LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4 LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3 ((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3 ((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.

The validation of the CPU registers in the machine check handler is currently split into two parts. The first part is done at the start of the low level mcck_int_handler function, this includes the CPU timer register and the general purpose registers. The second part is done a bit later in s390_do_machine_check for all the other registers, including the control registers, floating pointer control, vector or floating pointer registers, the access registers, the guarded storage registers, the TOD programmable registers and the clock comparator. This is working fine to far but in theory a future extensions could cause the C code to use registers that are not validated yet. A better approach is to validate all CPU registers in "safe" assembler code before any C function is called.

The TOD epoch extension adds 8 epoch bits to the TOD clock to provide a continuous clock after 2042/09/17. The store-clock-extended (STCKE) instruction will store the epoch index in the first byte of the 16 bytes stored by the instruction. The read_boot_clock64 and the read_presistent_clock64 functions need to take the additional bits into account to give the correct result after 2042/09/17. The clock-comparator register will stay 64 bit wide. The comparison of the clock-comparator with the TOD clock is limited to bytes 1 to 8 of the extended TOD format. To deal with the overflow problem due to an epoch change the clock-comparator sign control in CR0 can be used to switch the comparison of the 64-bit TOD clock with the clock-comparator to a signed comparison. The decision between the signed vs. unsigned clock-comparator comparisons is done at boot time. Only if the TOD clock is in the second half of a 142 year epoch the signed comparison is used. This solves the epoch overflow issue as long as the machine is booted at least once in an epoch. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

This adds a new system call to enable the use of guarded storage for user space processes. The system call takes two arguments, a command and pointer to a guarded storage control block: s390_guarded_storage(int command, struct gs_cb *gs_cb); The second argument is relevant only for the GS_SET_BC_CB command. The commands in detail: 0 - GS_ENABLE Enable the guarded storage facility for the current task. The initial content of the guarded storage control block will be all zeros. After the enablement the user space code can use load-guarded-storage-controls instruction (LGSC) to load an arbitrary control block. While a task is enabled the kernel will save and restore the current content of the guarded storage registers on context switch. 1 - GS_DISABLE Disables the use of the guarded storage facility for the current task. The kernel will cease to save and restore the content of the guarded storage registers, the task specific content of these registers is lost. 2 - GS_SET_BC_CB Set a broadcast guarded storage control block. This is called per thread and stores a specific guarded storage control block in the task struct of the current task. This control block will be used for the broadcast event GS_BROADCAST. 3 - GS_CLEAR_BC_CB Clears the broadcast guarded storage control block. The guarded- storage control block is removed from the task struct that was established by GS_SET_BC_CB. 4 - GS_BROADCAST Sends a broadcast to all thread siblings of the current task. Every sibling that has established a broadcast guarded storage control block will load this control block and will be enabled for guarded storage. The broadcast guarded storage control block is used up, a second broadcast without a refresh of the stored control block with GS_SET_BC_CB will not have any effect.

On STP sync events the TOD clock will jump in time, either forward or backward. The TOD clocksource claims to be continuous but in case of an STP sync with a negative offset it is not. Subtract the offset injected by the STP sync check from the result of the TOD clocksource to make it continuous again. Add code to drift the offset towards zero with a fixed rate, steering 1 second in ~9 hours.

However if the number of double words in the ALS bitfield grows the current code is not very stable. E.g. before issuing the stfle command the memory to which it stores must be cleared, since the instruction may or may not clear memory contents where no bits are set.

Improve the save and restore behavior of FPU register contents to use the vector extension within the kernel. The kernel does not use floating-point or vector registers and, therefore, saving and restoring the FPU register contents are performed for handling signals or switching processes only. To prepare for using vector instructions and vector registers within the kernel, enhance the save behavior and implement a lazy restore at return to user space from a system call or interrupt. To implement the lazy restore, the save_fpu_regs() sets a CPU information flag, CIF_FPU, to indicate that the FPU registers must be restored. Saving and setting CIF_FPU is performed in an atomic fashion to be interrupt-safe. When the kernel wants to use the vector extension or wants to change the FPU register state for a task during signal handling, the save_fpu_regs() must be called first. The CIF_FPU flag is also set at process switch. At return to user space, the FPU state is restored. In particular, the FPU state includes the floating-point or vector register contents, as well as, vector-enablement and floating-point control. The FPU state restore and clearing CIF_FPU is also performed in an atomic fashion. For KVM, the restore of the FPU register state is performed when restoring the general-purpose guest registers before the SIE instructions is started. Because the path towards the SIE instruction is interruptible, the CIF_FPU flag must be checked again right before going into SIE. If set, the guest registers must be reloaded again by re-entering the outer SIE loop. This is the same behavior as if the SIE critical section is interrupted.

The kernel build for s390 fails for gcc compilers with version 3.x, set the minimum required version of gcc to version 4.3. As the atomic builtins are available with all gcc 4.x compilers, use the __sync_val_compare_and_swap and __sync_bool_compare_and_swap functions to replace the complex macro and inline assembler magic in include/asm/cmpxchg.h. The compiler can just-do-it and generates better code with the builtins. While we are at it use __sync_bool_compare_and_swap for the _raw_compare_and_swap function in the spinlock code as well.

If the function tracer is enabled, allow to set kprobes on the first instruction of a function (which is the function trace caller): If no kprobe is set handling of enabling and disabling function tracing of a function simply patches the first instruction. Either it is a nop (right now it's an unconditional branch, which skips the mcount block), or it's a branch to the ftrace_caller() function. If a kprobe is being placed on a function tracer calling instruction we encode if we actually have a nop or branch in the remaining bytes after the breakpoint instruction (illegal opcode). This is possible, since the size of the instruction used for the nop and branch is six bytes, while the size of the breakpoint is only two bytes. Therefore the first two bytes contain the illegal opcode and the last four bytes contain either "0" for nop or "1" for branch. The kprobes code will then execute/simulate the correct instruction. Instruction patching for kprobes and function tracer is always done with stop_machine(). Therefore we don't have any races where an instruction is patched concurrently on a different cpu. Besides that also the program check handler which executes the function trace caller instruction won't be executed concurrently to any stop_machine() execution. This allows to keep full fault based kprobes handling which generates correct pt_regs contents automatically.

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.

The current uaccess code uses a page table walk in some circumstances, e.g. in case of the in atomic futex operations or if running on old hardware which doesn't support the mvcos instruction. However it turned out that the page table walk code does not correctly lock page tables when accessing page table entries. In other words: a different cpu may invalidate a page table entry while the current cpu inspects the pte. This may lead to random data corruption. Adding correct locking however isn't trivial for all uaccess operations. Especially copy_in_user() is problematic since that requires to hold at least two locks, but must be protected against ABBA deadlock when a different cpu also performs a copy_in_user() operation. So the solution is a different approach where we change address spaces: User space runs in primary address mode, or access register mode within vdso code, like it currently already does. The kernel usually also runs in home space mode, however when accessing user space the kernel switches to primary or secondary address mode if the mvcos instruction is not available or if a compare-and-swap (futex) instruction on a user space address is performed. KVM however is special, since that requires the kernel to run in home address space while implicitly accessing user space with the sie instruction. So we end up with: User space: - runs in primary or access register mode - cr1 contains the user asce - cr7 contains the user asce - cr13 contains the kernel asce Kernel space: - runs in home space mode - cr1 contains the user or kernel asce -> the kernel asce is loaded when a uaccess requires primary or secondary address mode - cr7 contains the user or kernel asce, (changed with set_fs()) - cr13 contains the kernel asce In case of uaccess the kernel changes to: - primary space mode in case of a uaccess (copy_to_user) and uses e.g. the mvcp instruction to access user space. However the kernel will stay in home space mode if the mvcos instruction is available - secondary space mode in case of futex atomic operations, so that the instructions come from primary address space and data from secondary space In case of kvm the kernel runs in home space mode, but cr1 gets switched to contain the gmap asce before the sie instruction gets executed. When the sie instruction is finished cr1 will be switched back to contain the user asce. A context switch between two processes will always load the kernel asce for the next process in cr1. So the first exit to user space is a bit more expensive (one extra load control register instruction) than before, however keeps the code rather simple. In sum this means there is no need to perform any error prone page table walks anymore when accessing user space. The patch seems to be rather large, however it mainly removes the the page table walk code and restores the previously deleted "standard" uaccess code, with a couple of changes. The uaccess without mvcos mode can be enforced with the "uaccess_primary" kernel parameter.

The code to use the ECTG instruction to calculate the cputime for the current thread is currently used only for the per-thread CPU-clock with the clockid -2 (PID=0, VIRT=1). Use the same code for the clockid CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID to speed up the more common clockid as well.
