Replacing a 2K page table with a 4K page table while a VMA is active for the affected memory region is fundamentally broken. Rip out the page table reallocation code and replace it with a simple system control 'vm.allocate_pgste'. If the system control is set the page tables for all processes are allocated as full 4K pages, even for processes that do not need it. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Introduce KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_GFP to allow the architecture code to override the gfp flags of the allocation for the kexec control page. The loop in kimage_alloc_normal_control_pages allocates pages with GFP_KERNEL until a page is found that happens to have an address smaller than the KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT. On systems with a large memory size but a small KEXEC_CONTROL_MEMORY_LIMIT the loop will keep allocating memory until the oom killer steps in.

This fixes the "offset2lib" weakness in ASLR for arm, arm64, mips, powerpc, and x86. The problem is that if there is a leak of ASLR from the executable (ET_DYN), it means a leak of shared library offset as well (mmap), and vice versa. Further details and a PoC of this attack is available here: http://cybersecurity.upv.es/attacks/offset2lib/offset2lib.html With this patch, a PIE linked executable (ET_DYN) has its own ASLR region: $ ./show_mmaps_pie 54859ccd6000-54859ccd7000 r-xp ... /tmp/show_mmaps_pie 54859ced6000-54859ced7000 r--p ... /tmp/show_mmaps_pie 54859ced7000-54859ced8000 rw-p ... /tmp/show_mmaps_pie 7f75be764000-7f75be91f000 r-xp ... /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 7f75be91f000-7f75beb1f000 ---p ... /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 7f75beb1f000-7f75beb23000 r--p ... /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 7f75beb23000-7f75beb25000 rw-p ... /lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libc.so.6 7f75beb25000-7f75beb2a000 rw-p ... 7f75beb2a000-7f75beb4d000 r-xp ... /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 7f75bed45000-7f75bed46000 rw-p ... 7f75bed46000-7f75bed47000 r-xp ... 7f75bed47000-7f75bed4c000 rw-p ... 7f75bed4c000-7f75bed4d000 r--p ... /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 7f75bed4d000-7f75bed4e000 rw-p ... /lib64/ld-linux-x86-64.so.2 7f75bed4e000-7f75bed4f000 rw-p ... 7fffb3741000-7fffb3762000 rw-p ...

This patch makes interrupt handling compliant to the z/Architecture Principles of Operation with regard to interrupt priorities. Add a bitmap for pending floating interrupts. Each bit relates to a interrupt type and its list. A turned on bit indicates that a list contains items (interrupts) which need to be delivered. When delivering interrupts on a cpu we can merge the existing bitmap for cpu-local interrupts and floating interrupts and have a single mechanism for delivery. Currently we have one list for all kinds of floating interrupts and a corresponding spin lock. This patch adds a separate list per interrupt type. An exception to this are service signal and machine check interrupts, as there can be only one pending interrupt at a time.

Remove the s390 architecture implementation of probe_kernel_write() and instead use a new function s390_kernel_write() to modify kernel text and data everywhere. The s390 implementation of probe_kernel_write() was potentially broken since it modified memory in a read-modify-write fashion, which read four bytes, modified the requested bytes within those four bytes and wrote the result back. If two cpus would modify the same four byte area at different locations within that area, this could lead to corruption. Right now the only places which called probe_kernel_write() did run within stop_machine_run. Therefore the scenario can't happen right now, however that might change at any time. To fix this rename probe_kernel_write() to s390_kernel_write() which can have special semantics, like only call it while running within stop_machine().

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.

The Store System Information (STSI) instruction currently collects all information it relays to the caller in the kernel. Some information, however, is only available in user space. An example of this is the guest name: The kernel always sets "KVMGuest", but user space knows the actual guest name. This patch introduces a new exit, KVM_EXIT_S390_STSI, guarded by a capability that can be enabled by user space if it wants to be able to insert such data. User space will be provided with the target buffer and the requested STSI function code.

Define and allocate space for both the host and guest views of the vector registers for a given vcpu. The 32 vector registers occupy 128 bits each (512 bytes total), but architecturally are paired with 512 additional bytes of reserved space for future expansion. The kvm_sync_regs structs containing the registers are union'ed with 1024 bytes of padding in the common kvm_run struct. The addition of 1024 bytes of new register information clearly exceeds the existing union, so an expansion of that padding is required. When changing environments, we need to appropriately save and restore the vector registers viewed by both the host and guest, into and out of the sync_regs space. The floating point registers overlay the upper half of vector registers 0-15, so there's a bit of data duplication here that needs to be carefully avoided.

Most facility related decisions in KVM have to take into account: - the facilities offered by the underlying run container (LPAR/VM) - the facilities supported by the KVM code itself - the facilities requested by a guest VM This patch adds the KVM driver requested facilities to the test routine. It additionally renames struct s390_model_fac to kvm_s390_fac and its field names to be more meaningful. The semantics of the facilities stored in the KVM architecture structure is changed. The address arch.model.fac->list now points to the guest facility list and arch.model.fac->mask points to the KVM facility mask. This patch fixes the behaviour of KVM for some facilities for guests that ignore the guest visible facility bits, e.g. guests could use transactional memory intructions on hosts supporting them even if the chosen cpu model would not offer them. The userspace interface is not affected by this change. Signed-off-by: NMichael Mueller <mimu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NChristian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com>

The hardware folks told me that for page clearing "when you exactly know what to do, hand written xc+pfd is usally faster then mvcl for page clearing, as it saves millicode overhead and parameter parsing and checking" as long as you dont need the cache bypassing. Turns out that gcc already does a proper xc,pfd loop. A small test on z196 that does buff = mmap(NULL, bufsize,PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,AP_PRIVATE| MAP_ANONYMOUS,0,0); for ( i = 0; i < bufsize; i+= 256) buff[i] = 0x5; gets 20% faster (touches every cache line of a page) and buff = mmap(NULL, bufsize,PROT_EXEC|PROT_WRITE|PROT_READ,AP_PRIVATE| MAP_ANONYMOUS,0,0); for ( i = 0; i < bufsize; i+= 4096) buff[i] = 0x5; is within noise ratio (touches one cache line of a page). As the clear_page is usually called for first memory accesses we can assume that at least one cache line is used afterwards, so this change should be always better. Another benchmark, a make -j 40 of my testsuite in tmpfs with hot caches on a 32cpu system: -- unpatched -- -- patched -- real 0m1.017s real 0m0.994s (~2% faster, but in noise) user 0m5.339s user 0m5.016s (~6% faster) sys 0m0.691s sys 0m0.632s (~8% faster) Let use the same define to memset as the asm-generic variant Signed-off-by: NChristian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

If an attacker can cause a controlled kernel stack overflow, overwriting the restart block is a very juicy exploit target. This is because the restart_block is held in the same memory allocation as the kernel stack. Moving the restart block to struct task_struct prevents this exploit by making the restart_block harder to locate. Note that there are other fields in thread_info that are also easy targets, at least on some architectures. It's also a decent simplification, since the restart code is more or less identical on all architectures.

Convert the per cpu topology cpu masks to a per cpu variable. At least for machines which do have less possible cpus than NR_CPUS this can save a bit of memory (z/VM: max 64 vs 512 for performance_defconfig). This reduces the kernel image size by 100k.

There is no reason to initialize the topology cpu masks already while setup_arch() is being called. It is sufficient to initialize the masks before the scheduler becomes SMP aware. Therefore a pre-SMP initcall aka early_initcall is suffucient. This also allows to convert the cpu_topology array into a per cpu variable with a later patch. Without this patch this wouldn't be possible since the per cpu memory areas are not allocated while setup_arch is executed.

LKP has triggered a compiler warning after my recent patch "mm: account pmd page tables to the process": mm/mmap.c: In function 'exit_mmap': >> mm/mmap.c:2857:2: warning: right shift count >= width of type [enabled by default] The code: > 2857 WARN_ON(mm_nr_pmds(mm) > 2858 round_up(FIRST_USER_ADDRESS, PUD_SIZE) >> PUD_SHIFT); In this, on tile, we have FIRST_USER_ADDRESS defined as 0. round_up() has the same type -- int. PUD_SHIFT. I think the best way to fix it is to define FIRST_USER_ADDRESS as unsigned long. On every arch for consistency. Signed-off-by: NKirill A.

With this feature, you can read the CPU performance metrics provided by the z/VM diagnose 0C. This then allows to get the management time for each online CPU of the guest where the diagnose is executed. The new debugfs file /sys/kernel/debug/s390_hypfs/diag_0c exports the diag0C binary data to user space via an open/read/close interface. The binary data consists out of a header structure followed by an array that contains the diagnose 0c data for each online CPU.

This patch enables cpu model support in kvm/s390 via the vm attribute interface. During KVM initialization, the host properties cpuid, IBC value and the facility list are stored in the architecture specific cpu model structure. During vcpu setup, these properties are taken to initialize the related SIE state. This mechanism allows to adjust the properties from user space and thus to implement different selectable cpu models. This patch uses the IBC functionality to block instructions that have not been implemented at the requested CPU type and GA level compared to the full host capability. Userspace has to initialize the cpu model before vcpu creation. A cpu model change of running vcpus is not possible.
