      s390: add a system call for guarded storage · 916cda1a
      Martin Schwidefsky 提交于
      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.
