The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.

The unit of the cputime accouting values that are stored per process is currently a microsecond. The CPU timer has a maximum granularity of 2**-12 microseconds. There is no benefit in storing the per process values in the lesser precision and there is the disadvantage that the backend has to do the rounding to microseconds. The better solution is to use the maximum granularity of the CPU timer as cputime unit. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Newer s390 models have a breaking-event-address-recording register. Each time an instruction causes a break in the sequential instruction execution, the address is saved in that hardware register. On a program interrupt the address is copied to the lowcore address 272-279, which makes it software accessible. This patch changes the program check handler and the stack overflow checker to copy the value into the pt_regs argument. The oops output is enhanced to show the last known breaking address. It might give additional information if the stack trace is corrupted. The feature is only available on 64 bit. The new oops output looks like: [---------snip----------] Modules linked in: vmcp sunrpc qeth_l2 dm_mod qeth ccwgroup CPU: 2 Not tainted 2.6.24zlive-host #8 Process modprobe (pid: 4788, task: 00000000bf3d8718, ksp: 00000000b2b0b8e0) Krnl PSW : 0704200180000000 000003e000020028 (vmcp_init+0x28/0xe4 [vmcp]) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:2 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000004000002 000003e000020000 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 000000000015734c ffffffffffffffff 000003e0000b3b00 0000000000000000 000003e00007ca30 00000000b5bb5d40 00000000b5bb5800 000003e0000b3b00 000003e0000a2000 00000000003ecf50 00000000b2b0bd50 00000000b2b0bcb0 Krnl Code: 000003e000020018: c0c000040ff4 larl %r12,3e0000a2000 000003e00002001e: e3e0f0000024 stg %r14,0(%r15) 000003e000020024: a7f40001 brc 15,3e000020026 >000003e000020028: e310c0100004 lg %r1,16(%r12) 000003e00002002e: c020000413dc larl %r2,3e0000a27e6 000003e000020034: c0a00004aee6 larl %r10,3e0000b5e00 000003e00002003a: a7490001 lghi %r4,1 000003e00002003e: a75900f0 lghi %r5,240 Call Trace: ([<000000000014b300>] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x2c/0x40) [<000000000015735c>] sys_init_module+0x19d8/0x1b08 [<0000000000110afc>] sysc_noemu+0x10/0x16 [<000002000011cda2>] 0x2000011cda2 Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<000003e000020024>] vmcp_init+0x24/0xe4 [vmcp] [---------snip----------] Signed-off-by: NChristian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first 32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

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.

In case of re-IPL and diag308 doesn't work we have to reset all devices manually and wait synchronously that each reset finished. This patch adds the necessary infrastucture and the first exploiter of it. Subsystems that need to add a function that needs to be called at re-IPL may register/unregister this function via struct reset_call { struct reset_call *next; void (*fn)(void); }; void register_reset_call(struct reset_call *reset); void unregister_reset_call(struct reset_call *reset); When the registered function get called the context is: - all cpus beside the current one are stopped - all machine checks and interrupts are disabled - prefixing is disabled - a default machine check handler is available for use The registered functions may not take any locks are sleep. For the common I/O layer part of this patch: Introduce a reset_call css_reset that does the following: - clear all subchannels - perform a rchp on all channel paths and wait for the resulting machine checks This replaces the calls to clear_all_subchannels() and cio_reset_channel_paths() for kexec and ccw reipl. reipl_ccw_dev() now uses reipl_find_schid() to determine the subchannel id for a given device id. Also remove cio_reset_channel_paths() and friends since they are not needed anymore.

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.

The new machine check handler still has a few bugs. 1) The system entry time has to be stored in the machine check handler, 2) the machine check return psw may not be stored at the usual place because it might overwrite the return psw of the interrupted context, 3) the return address for the call to s390_handle_mcck in the i/o interrupt handler is not correct, 4) the system call cleanup has to take the different save area of the machine check handler into account, 5) the machine check handler may not call UPDATE_VTIME before CREATE_STACK_FRAME, and 6) the io leave path needs a critical section cleanup to make sure that the TIF_MCCK_PENDING bit is really checked before switching back to user space.

Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock before doing the cpu_relax(). Add a system control to set the number of retries before a cpu is yielded. The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is 1000.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
