The sccbs for init/read/sdias/early have to be located below 2 GB, and they are currently defined as a static buffer. With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, this will no longer guarantee the location below 2 GB, so use a dynamic GFP_DMA allocation instead. The sclp_early_sccb buffer needs special handling, as it can be used very early, and by both the decompressor and also the decompressed kernel. Therefore, a fixed 4 KB buffer is introduced at 0x11000, the former PARMAREA_END. The new PARMAREA_END is now 0x12000, and it is renamed to HEAD_END, as it is rather the end of head.S and not the end of the parmarea.

To lower memory footprint and speed up kasan initialisation detect EDAT availability and use large pages if possible. As we know how much memory is needed for initialisation, another simplistic large page allocator is introduced to avoid memory fragmentation. Since facilities list is retrieved anyhow, detect noexec support and adjust pages attributes. Handle noexec kernel option to avoid inconsistent kasan shadow memory pages flags.

The hardware sampler creates samples that are processed at a later point in time. The PID and TID values of the perf samples that are created for hardware samples are initialized with values from the current task. Hence, the PID and TID values are not correct and perf samples are associated with wrong processes. The PID and TID values are obtained from the Host Program Parameter (HPP) field in the basic-sampling data entries. These PIDs are valid in the init PID namespace. Ensure that the PIDs in the perf samples are resolved considering the PID namespace in which the perf event was created. To correct the PID and TID values in the created perf samples, a special overflow handler is installed. It replaces the default overflow handler and does not become effective if any other overflow handler is used. With the special overflow handler most of the perf samples are associated with the right processes. For processes, that are no longer exist, the association might still be wrong.

Given that memory savings are minimal if kernel images are shared and in addition updates of shared images are painful, the NSS feature can be removed.

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.

If memory is fragmented it is unlikely that large order memory allocations succeed. This has been an issue with the vmcp device driver since a long time, since it requires large physical contiguous memory ares for large responses. To hopefully resolve this issue make use of the contiguous memory allocator (cma). This patch adds a vmcp specific vmcp cma area with a default size of 4MB. The size can be changed either via the VMCP_CMA_SIZE config option at compile time or with the "vmcp_cma" kernel parameter (e.g. "vmcp_cma=16m"). For any vmcp response buffers larger than 16k memory from the cma area will be allocated. If such an allocation fails, there is a fallback to the buddy allocator.

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.

Bit 0x100 of a page table, segment table of region table entry can be used to disallow code execution for the virtual addresses associated with the entry. There is one tricky bit, the system call to return from a signal is part of the signal frame written to the user stack. With a non-executable stack this would stop working. To avoid breaking things the protection fault handler checks the opcode that caused the fault for 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn) and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) and injects a system call. This is preferable to the alternative solution with a stub function in the vdso because it works for vdso=off and statically linked binaries as well.

Various functions in entry.S perform test-under-mask instructions to test for particular bits in memory.

Introduce the TSTMSK assembler macro to specify a mask constant and let the macro calculate the offset and the byte mask to generate a test-under-mask instruction. The benefit is that existing symbolic constants can now be used for tests. Also the macro checks for zero mask values and mask values that consist of multiple bytes.

The zEC12 machines introduced the local-clearing control for the IDTE and IPTE instruction. If the control is set only the TLB of the local CPU is cleared of entries, either all entries of a single address space for IDTE, or the entry for a single page-table entry for IPTE. Without the local-clearing control the TLB flush is broadcasted to all CPUs in the configuration, which is expensive. The reset of the bit mask of the CPUs that need flushing after a non-local IDTE is tricky. As TLB entries for an address space remain in the TLB even if the address space is detached a new bit field is required to keep track of attached CPUs vs. CPUs in the need of a flush. After a non-local flush with IDTE the bit-field of attached CPUs is copied to the bit-field of CPUs in need of a flush. The ordering of operations on cpu_attach_mask, attach_count and mm_cpumask(mm) is such that an underindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is prevented but an overindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is possible.

This can be a problem since the memory detection may cause a fully populated host page table for the guest, even for those parts of the memory that the guest will never use afterwards. So fix this and only detect memory up to a user supplied "mem=" limit if specified.

The variable real_memory_size has odd semantics and has been used in a broken way by e.g. the old kvm code. Therefore get rid of it before anybody else makes use of it.

The set-program-parameter (SPP) instruction has been renamed to load-program-parameter (LPP) (see SA23-2260). Reflect this change and rename all macro/instruction references. Also remove the duplicate SPP/LPP entry in the kernel disassembler instruction list.

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. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

MACHINE_HAS_PFMF and MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE actually have the same semantics: the cpu has the EDAT1 facility installed in zArch mode. So remove one of the feature flags in machine_flags and rename the other one to EDAT1. The two old macros simply get mapped to MACHINE_HAS_EDAT1.
