      s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names · a53c8fab
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
      cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
      
      Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
      different statements and wanted to change them one after another
      whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
      people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
      for new files.
      So unify all of them in one go.

      [S390] rework smp code · 8b646bd7
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Define struct pcpu and merge some of the NR_CPUS arrays into it, including
      __cpu_logical_map, current_set and smp_cpu_state. Split smp related
      functions to those operating on physical cpus and the functions operating
      on a logical cpu number. Make the functions for physical cpus use a
      pointer to a struct pcpu. This hides the knowledge about cpu addresses in
      smp.c, entry[64].S and swsusp_asm64.S, thus remove the sigp.h header.
      
      The PSW restart mechanism is used to start secondary cpus, calling a
      function on an online cpu, calling a function on the ipl cpu, and for
      the nmi signal. Replace the different assembler functions with a
      single function restart_int_handler. The new entry point calls a function
      whose pointer is stored in the lowcore of the target cpu and it can wait
      for the source cpu to stop. This covers all existing use cases.
      
      Overall the code is now simpler and there are ~380 lines less code.

      [S390] topology: get rid of ifdefs · 83a24e32
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Remove all ifdefs from topology code and also only compile it for the
      CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK case. The new code selects SCHED_MC if SCHED_BOOK is
      selected. SCHED_MC without SCHED_BOOK is not possible anymore.
      Furthermore various sysfs attributes are not available anymore for the
      !SCHED_BOOK case. In particular all attributes that correspond to
      CPU polarization.
      But since all real world kernels have SCHED_BOOK selected anyway this
      doesn't matter too much.

      [S390] Vertical cpu management. · c10fde0d
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      If vertical cpu polarization is active then the hypervisor will
      dispatch certain cpus for a longer time than other cpus for maximum
      performance. For example if a guest would have three virtual cpus,
      each of them with a share of 33 percent, then in case of vertical
      cpu polarization all of the processing time would be combined to a
      single cpu which would run all the time, while the other two cpus
      would get nearly no cpu time.
      
      There are three different types of vertical cpus: high, medium and
      low. Low cpus hardly get any real cpu time, while high cpus get a
      full real cpu. Medium cpus get something in between.
      
      In order to switch between the two possible modes (default is
      horizontal) a 0 for horizontal polarization or a 1 for vertical
      polarization must be written to the dispatching sysfs attribute:
      
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/dispatching
      
      The polarization of each single cpu can be figured out by the
      polarization sysfs attribute of each cpu:
      
      /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/polarization
      
      horizontal, vertical:high, vertical:medium, vertical:low or unknown.
      
      When switching polarization the polarization attribute may contain
      the value unknown until the configuration change is done and the
      kernel has figured out the new polarization of each cpu.
      
      Note that running a system with different types of vertical cpus may
      result in significant performance regressions. If possible only one
      type of vertical cpus should be used. All other cpus should be
      offlined.

      [S390] noexec protection · c1821c2e
      Gerald Schaefer 提交于
      This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does
      not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a
      different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing
      mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data.
      
      As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate
      page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses
      (storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is
      used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the
      data addresses.
      The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer
      in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that
      contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really
      private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU
      list).
      Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into
      both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of
      a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the
      data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a
      page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV
      with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn)
      and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the
      kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return
      mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the
      exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored
      behind the signal stack frame.
      
      This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space
      mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing
      modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works
      for user space.
      After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs
      instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new
      mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows
      to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the
      page tables need to be walked manually.

      [S390] Inline assembly cleanup. · 94c12cc7
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common
      coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register
      asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps  as well. The atomic ops,
      bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc
      is used.  That results in slightly better code.
      
      Thanks to Christian Borntraeger for proof reading the changes.
