      s390: kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h · 3994a52b
      Paul Gortmaker 提交于
      Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
      a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
      support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
      when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
      
      This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
      in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
      in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
      adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
      headers we are effectively using.
      
      Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
      export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each change instance
      for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
      revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

      s390: remove 31 bit support · 5a79859a
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and
      effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no
      distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel.
      
      The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before
      anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel
      shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e ("s390: add 31 bit warning
      message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit
      code. We didn't get any response.
      
      Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's
      remove the code.
      Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

      arm64,ia64,ppc,s390,sh,tile,um,x86,mm: remove default gate area · a6c19dfe
      Andy Lutomirski 提交于
      The core mm code will provide a default gate area based on
      FIXADDR_USER_START and FIXADDR_USER_END if
      !defined(__HAVE_ARCH_GATE_AREA) && defined(AT_SYSINFO_EHDR).
      
      This default is only useful for ia64.  arm64, ppc, s390, sh, tile, 64-bit
      UML, and x86_32 have their own code just to disable it.  arm, 32-bit UML,
      and x86_64 have gate areas, but they have their own implementations.
      
      This gets rid of the default and moves the code into ia64.
      
      This should save some code on architectures without a gate area: it's now
      possible to inline the gate_area functions in the default case.

      coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag · 909af768
      Jason Baron 提交于
      The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
      qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
      can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
      /proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
      of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
      case).
      
      Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
      the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
      the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
      enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
      for this flag.
      
      The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
      'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
      'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
      continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
      region.
      
      The qemu code which implements this features is at:
      
        http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch
      
      In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
      patch.
      
      I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
      security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
      dumped.
      
      This patch:
      
      The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
      indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
      can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
      the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
      arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

      [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] vdso: dont map at mmap_base · e7828bbd
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      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.

      [S390] Improve address space mode selection. · b11b5334
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      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.
