For a nested KVM guest the outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables for the nested guest. This patch adds the basic support to the guest address space (gmap) code. For each guest address space the inner KVM host creates, the first outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables. The address space is identified by the ASCE loaded into the control register 1 at the time the inner SIE instruction for the second nested KVM guest is executed. The outer KVM host creates the shadow tables starting with the table identified by the ASCE on a on-demand basis. The outer KVM host will get repeated faults for all the shadow tables needed to run the second KVM guest. While a shadow page table for the second KVM guest is active the access to the origin region, segment and page tables needs to be restricted for the first KVM guest. For region and segment and page tables the first KVM guest may read the memory, but write attempt has to lead to an unshadow. This is done using the page invalid and read-only bits in the page table of the first KVM guest. If the first guest re-accesses one of the origin pages of a shadow, it gets a fault and the affected parts of the shadow page table hierarchy needs to be removed again. PGSTE tables don't have to be shadowed, as all interpretation assist can't deal with the invalid bits in the shadow pte being set differently than the original ones provided by the first KVM guest.

There is a race with multi-threaded applications between context switch and pagetable upgrade. In switch_mm() a new user_asce is built from mm->pgd and mm->context.asce_bits, w/o holding any locks. A concurrent mmap with a pagetable upgrade on another thread in crst_table_upgrade() could already have set new asce_bits, but not yet the new mm->pgd. This would result in a corrupt user_asce in switch_mm(), and eventually in a kernel panic from a translation exception. Fix this by storing the complete asce instead of just the asce_bits, which can then be read atomically from switch_mm(), so that it either sees the old value or the new value, but no mixture. Both cases are OK. Having the old value would result in a page fault on access to the higher level memory, but the fault handler would see the new mm->pgd, if it was a valid access after the mmap on the other thread has completed. So as worst-case scenario we would have a page fault loop for the racing thread until the next time slice. Also remove dead code and simplify the upgrade/downgrade path, there are no upgrades from 2 levels, and only downgrades from 3 levels for compat tasks. There are also no concurrent upgrades, because the mmap_sem is held with down_write() in do_mmap, so the flush and table checks during upgrade can be removed.

The fork of a process with four page table levels is broken since git commit 6252d702 "[S390] dynamic page tables." All new mm contexts are created with three page table levels and an asce limit of 4TB. If the parent has four levels dup_mmap will add vmas to the new context which are outside of the asce limit. The subsequent call to copy_page_range will walk the three level page table structure of the new process with non-zero pgd and pud indexes. This leads to memory clobbers as the pgd_index *and* the pud_index is added to the mm->pgd pointer without a pgd_deref in between. The init_new_context() function is selecting the number of page table levels for a new context. The function is used by mm_init() which in turn is called by dup_mm() and mm_alloc(). These two are used by fork() and exec(). The init_new_context() function can distinguish the two cases by looking at mm->context.asce_limit, for fork() the mm struct has been copied and the number of page table levels may not change. For exec() the mm_alloc() function set the new mm structure to zero, in this case a three-level page table is created as the temporary stack space is located at STACK_TOP_MAX = 4TB. This fixes CVE-2016-2143.

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.

Store the target address for the gmap segments in a radix tree instead of using invalid segment table entries. gmap_translate becomes a simple radix_tree_lookup, gmap_fault is split into the address translation with gmap_translate and the part that does the linking of the gmap shadow page table with the process page table. A second radix tree is used to keep the pointers to the segment table entries for segments that are mapped in the guest address space. On unmap of a segment the pointer is retrieved from the radix tree and is used to carry out the segment invalidation in the gmap shadow page table. As the radix tree can only store one pointer, each host segment may only be mapped to exactly one guest location.

Git commit 36409f63 "use generic RCU page-table freeing code" introduced a tlb flushing bug. Partially revert the above git commit and go back to s390 specific page table flush code. For s390 the TLB can contain three types of entries, "normal" TLB page-table entries, TLB combined region-and-segment-table (CRST) entries and real-space entries. Linux does not use real-space entries which leaves normal TLB entries and CRST entries. The CRST entries are intermediate steps in the page-table translation called translation paths. For example a 4K page access in a three-level page table setup will create two CRST TLB entries and one page-table TLB entry. The advantage of that approach is that a page access next to the previous one can reuse the CRST entries and needs just a single read from memory to create the page-table TLB entry. The disadvantage is that the TLB flushing rules are more complicated, before any page-table may be freed the TLB needs to be flushed. In short: the generic RCU page-table freeing code is incorrect for the CRST entries, in particular the check for mm_users < 2 is troublesome. This is applicable to 3.0+ kernels.

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

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.

The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case. Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines. The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been used to fetch the instruction. This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current noexec support.

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.

Background: I've implemented 1K/2K page tables for s390. These sub-page page tables are required to properly support the s390 virtualization instruction with KVM. The SIE instruction requires that the page tables have 256 page table entries (pte) followed by 256 page status table entries (pgste). The pgstes are only required if the process is using the SIE instruction. The pgstes are updated by the hardware and by the hypervisor for a number of reasons, one of them is dirty and reference bit tracking. To avoid wasting memory the standard pte table allocation should return 1K/2K (31/64 bit) and 2K/4K if the process is using SIE. Problem: Page size on s390 is 4K, page table size is 1K or 2K. That means the s390 version for pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a struct page. Trouble is that with the CONFIG_HIGHPTE feature on x86 pte_alloc_one cannot return a pointer to a pte either, since that would require more than 32 bit for the return value of pte_alloc_one (and the pte * would not be accessible since its not kmapped). Solution: The only solution I found to this dilemma is a new typedef: a pgtable_t. For s390 pgtable_t will be a (pte *) - to be introduced with a later patch. For everybody else it will be a (struct page *). The additional problem with the initialization of the ptl lock and the NR_PAGETABLE accounting is solved with a constructor pgtable_page_ctor and a destructor pgtable_page_dtor. The page table allocation and free functions need to call these two whenever a page table page is allocated or freed. pmd_populate will get a pgtable_t instead of a struct page pointer. To get the pgtable_t back from a pmd entry that has been installed with pmd_populate a new function pmd_pgtable is added. It replaces the pmd_page call in free_pte_range and apply_to_pte_range.

The current tlb flushing code for page table entries violates the s390 architecture in a small detail. The relevant section from the principles of operation (SA22-7832-02 page 3-47): "A valid table entry must not be changed while it is attached to any CPU and may be used for translation by that CPU except to (1) invalidate the entry by using INVALIDATE PAGE TABLE ENTRY or INVALIDATE DAT TABLE ENTRY, (2) alter bits 56-63 of a page-table entry, or (3) make a change by means of a COMPARE AND SWAP AND PURGE instruction that purges the TLB." That means if one thread of a multithreaded applciation uses a vma while another thread does an unmap on it, the page table entries of that vma needs to get removed with IPTE, IDTE or CSP. In some strange and rare situations a cpu could check-stop (die) because a entry has been pushed out of the TLB that is still needed to complete a (milli-coded) instruction. I've never seen it happen with the current code on any of the supported machines, so right now this is a theoretical problem. But I want to fix it nevertheless, to avoid headaches in the futures. To get this implemented correctly without changing common code the primitives ptep_get_and_clear, ptep_get_and_clear_full and ptep_set_wrprotect need to use the IPTE instruction to invalidate the pte before the new pte value gets stored. If IPTE is always used for the three primitives three important operations will have a performace hit: fork, mprotect and exit_mmap. Time for some workarounds: * 1: ptep_get_and_clear_full is used in unmap_vmas to remove page tables entries in a batched tlb gather operation. If the mmu_gather context passed to unmap_vmas has been started with full_mm_flush==1 or if only one cpu is online or if the only user of a mm_struct is the current process then the fullmm indication in the mmu_gather context is set to one. All TLBs for mm_struct are flushed by the tlb_gather_mmu call. No new TLBs can be created while the unmap is in progress. In this case ptep_get_and_clear_full clears the ptes with a simple store. * 2: ptep_get_and_clear is used in change_protection to clear the ptes from the page tables before they are reentered with the new access flags. At the end of the update flush_tlb_range clears the remaining TLBs. In general the ptep_get_and_clear has to issue IPTE for each pte and flush_tlb_range is a nop. But if there is only one user of the mm_struct then ptep_get_and_clear uses simple stores to do the update and flush_tlb_range will flush the TLBs. * 3: Similar to 2, ptep_set_wrprotect is used in copy_page_range for a fork to make all ptes of a cow mapping read-only. At the end of of copy_page_range dup_mmap will flush the TLBs with a call to flush_tlb_mm. Check for mm->mm_users and if there is only one user avoid using IPTE in ptep_set_wrprotect and let flush_tlb_mm clear the TLBs. Overall for single threaded programs the tlb flush code now performs better, for multi threaded programs it is slightly worse. In particular exit_mmap() now does a single IDTE for the mm and then just frees every page cache reference and every page table page directly without a delay over the mmu_gather structure.

Currently diag 14 can be called within the vmur kernel module from addresses above 2GB. This leads to specification exceptions. This patch moves diag10, diag14 and diag210 into the new diag.c file.

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.

Virtual memmap support for s390. Inspired by the ia64 implementation. Unlike ia64 we need a mechanism which allows us to dynamically attach shared memory regions. These memory regions are accessed via the dcss device driver. dcss implements the 'direct_access' operation, which requires struct pages for every single shared page. Therefore this implementation provides an interface to attach/detach shared memory: int add_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size); int remove_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size); The purpose of the add_shared_memory function is to add the given memory range to the 1:1 mapping and to make sure that the corresponding range in the vmemmap is backed with physical pages. It also initialises the new struct pages. remove_shared_memory in turn only invalidates the page table entries in the 1:1 mapping. The page tables and the memory used for struct pages in the vmemmap are currently not freed. They will be reused when the next segment will be attached. Given that the maximum size of a shared memory region is 2GB and in addition all regions must reside below 2GB this is not too much of a restriction, but there is room for improvement.
