      sparse-vmemmap: specify vmemmap population range in bytes · 0aad818b
      Johannes Weiner 提交于
      The sparse code, when asking the architecture to populate the vmemmap,
      specifies the section range as a starting page and a number of pages.
      
      This is an awkward interface, because none of the arch-specific code
      actually thinks of the range in terms of 'struct page' units and always
      translates it to bytes first.
      
      In addition, later patches mix huge page and regular page backing for
      the vmemmap.  For this, they need to call vmemmap_populate_basepages()
      on sub-section ranges with PAGE_SIZE and PMD_SIZE in mind.  But these
      are not necessarily multiples of the 'struct page' size and so this unit
      is too coarse.
      
      Just translate the section range into bytes once in the generic sparse
      code, then pass byte ranges down the stack.

      s390/mm: implement software dirty bits · abf09bed
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      The s390 architecture is unique in respect to dirty page detection,
      it uses the change bit in the per-page storage key to track page
      modifications. All other architectures track dirty bits by means
      of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous
      problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f
      "mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390".
      
      To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert
      s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All
      user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware
      read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by
      the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause
      the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit
      is removed.
      
      With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant
      for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for
      KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the
      related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage
      key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to
      provide page age information.
      
      For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty
      there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking
      already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages.
      Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without
      mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults.
      To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte
      primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes
      and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for
      tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache.

      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] kvm guest address space mapping · e5992f2e
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Add code that allows KVM to control the virtual memory layout that
      is seen by a guest. The guest address space uses a second page table
      that shares the last level pte-tables with the process page table.
      If a page is unmapped from the process page table it is automatically
      unmapped from the guest page table as well.
      
      The guest address space mapping starts out empty, KVM can map any
      individual 1MB segments from the process virtual memory to any 1MB
      aligned location in the guest virtual memory. If a target segment in
      the process virtual memory does not exist or is unmapped while a
      guest mapping exists the desired target address is stored as an
      invalid segment table entry in the guest page table.
      The population of the guest page table is fault driven.

      [S390] refactor page table functions for better pgste support · b2fa47e6
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Rework the architecture page table functions to access the bits in the
      page table extension array (pgste). There are a number of changes:
      1) Fix missing pgste update if the attach_count for the mm is <= 1.
      2) For every operation that affects the invalid bit in the pte or the
         rcp byte in the pgste the pcl lock needs to be acquired. The function
         pgste_get_lock gets the pcl lock and returns the current pgste value
         for a pte pointer. The function pgste_set_unlock stores the pgste
         and releases the lock. Between these two calls the bits in the pgste
         can be shuffled.
      3) Define two software bits in the pte _PAGE_SWR and _PAGE_SWC to avoid
         calling SetPageDirty and SetPageReferenced from pgtable.h. If the
         host reference backup bit or the host change backup bit has been
         set the dirty/referenced state is transfered to the pte. The common
         code will pick up the state from the pte.
      4) Add ptep_modify_prot_start and ptep_modify_prot_commit for mprotect.
      5) Remove pgd_populate_kernel, pud_populate_kernel, pmd_populate_kernel
         pgd_clear_kernel, pud_clear_kernel, pmd_clear_kernel and ptep_invalidate.
      6) Rename kvm_s390_test_and_clear_page_dirty to
         ptep_test_and_clear_user_dirty and add ptep_test_and_clear_user_young.
      7) Define mm_exclusive() and mm_has_pgste() helper to improve readability.

      [S390] s390: disable change bit override · 6af7eea2
      Christian Borntraeger 提交于
      commit 6a985c61
      ([S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mapping)
      deactivated the change bit recording for the kernel mapping to
      improve the performance. This works most of the time, but there
      are cases (e.g. kernel runs in home space, futex atomic compare xcmg)
      where we modify user memory with the kernel mapping instead of the
      user mapping.
      Instead of fixing these cases, this patch just deactivates change bit
      override to avoid future problems with other kernel code that might
      use the kernel mapping for user memory.

      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking... · 5a0e3ad6
      Tejun Heo 提交于
      include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
      
      percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
      included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
      in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
      universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.
      
      percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
      this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
      headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
      needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
      used as the basis of conversion.
      
        http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py
      
      The script does the followings.
      
      * Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
        only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
        gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.
      
      * When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
        blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
        to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
        core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
        alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
        doesn't seem to be any matching order.
      
      * If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
        because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
        an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
        file.
      
      The conversion was done in the following steps.
      
      1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
         over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
         and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
         files.
      
      2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
         some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
         embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
         inclusions to around 150 files.
      
      3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
         from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.
      
      4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
         e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
         APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.
      
      5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
         editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
         files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
         inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
         wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
         slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
         necessary.
      
      6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.
      
      7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
         were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
         distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
         more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
         build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).
      
         * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
         * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
         * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
         * s390 SMP allmodconfig
         * alpha SMP allmodconfig
         * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig
      
      8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
         a separate patch and serve as bisection point.
      
      Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
      6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
      If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
      headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
      the specific arch.

      [S390] fix recursive locking on page_table_lock · 50aa98ba
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      Suzuki Poulose reported the following recursive locking bug on s390:
      
      Here is the stack trace : (see Appendix I for more info)
      
        [<0000000000406ed6>] _spin_lock+0x52/0x94
        [<0000000000103bde>] crst_table_free+0x14e/0x1a4

        [<0000000000114f8c>] sysc_return+0x0/0x8
        [<00000200001642b2>] 0x200001642b2
      
      The page_table_lock is already acquired in __pmd_alloc (mm/memory.c) and
      it tries to populate the pud/pgd with a new pmd allocated. If another
      thread populates it before we get a chance, we free the pmd using
      pmd_free().
      
      On s390x, pmd_free(even pud_free ) is #defined to crst_table_free(),
      which acquires the page_table_lock to protect the crst_table index updates.
      
      Hence this ends up in a recursive locking of the page_table_lock.
      
      The solution suggested by Dave Hansen is to use a new spin lock in the mmu
      context to protect the access to the crst_list and the pgtable_list.

      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      This fixes the last remaining section mismatch warnings in s390

      with git commit 2069e978
      ("[S390] sparsemem vmemmap: initialize memmap.")
      
      Calling the generic vmemmap_alloc_block() function to get initialized
      memory is a nice idea, however that function is __meminit annotated
      and therefore the function might be gone if we try to call it later.
      This can happen if a DCSS segment gets added.
      
      So basically revert the patch and clear the memmap explicitly to fix
      the original bug.

      [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.
