      s390: KVM guest: detect when running on kvm · fa587743
      Carsten Otte 提交于
      This patch adds functionality to detect if the kernel runs under the KVM
      hypervisor. A macro MACHINE_IS_KVM is exported for device drivers. This
      allows drivers to skip device detection if the systems runs non-virtualized.
      We also define a preferred console to avoid having the ttyS0, which is a line
      mode only console.

      KVM: s390: arch backend for the kvm kernel module · b0c632db
      Heiko Carstens 提交于
      This patch contains the port of Qumranet's kvm kernel module to IBM zSeries
       (aka s390x, mainframe) architecture. It uses the mainframe's virtualization
      instruction SIE to run virtual machines with up to 64 virtual CPUs each.
      This port is only usable on 64bit host kernels, and can only run 64bit guest
      kernels. However, running 31bit applications in guest userspace is possible.
      
      The following source files are introduced by this patch
      arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c    similar to arch/x86/kvm/x86.c, this implements all
                                  arch callbacks for kvm. __vcpu_run calls back into
                                  sie64a to enter the guest machine context
      arch/s390/kvm/sie64a.S      assembler function sie64a, which enters guest
                                  context via SIE, and switches world before and after                            that
      include/asm-s390/kvm_host.h contains all vital data structures needed to run
                                  virtual machines on the mainframe
      include/asm-s390/kvm.h      defines kvm_regs and friends for user access to
                                  guest register content
      arch/s390/kvm/gaccess.h     functions similar to uaccess to access guest memory
      arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.h    header file for kvm-s390 internals, extended by

      s390: KVM preparation: provide hook to enable pgstes in user pagetable · 402b0862
      Carsten Otte 提交于
      The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
      virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
      function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
      reserve space in the page table:
      s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
      dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
      and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.
      
      Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.
      
      This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.
      
      Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
      review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
      include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
      call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

      proc: seqfile convert proc_pid_status to properly handle pid namespaces · df5f8314
      Eric W. Biederman 提交于
      Currently we possibly lookup the pid in the wrong pid namespace.  So
      seq_file convert proc_pid_status which ensures the proper pid namespaces is
      passed in.

      Introduce flags for reserve_bootmem() · 72a7fe39
      Bernhard Walle 提交于
      This patchset adds a flags variable to reserve_bootmem() and uses the
      BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE flag in crashkernel reservation code to detect collisions
      between crashkernel area and already used memory.
      
      This patch:
      
      Change the reserve_bootmem() function to accept a new flag BOOTMEM_EXCLUSIVE.
      If that flag is set, the function returns with -EBUSY if the memory already
      has been reserved in the past.  This is to avoid conflicts.
      
      Because that code runs before SMP initialisation, there's no race condition
      inside reserve_bootmem_core().

      timerfd: new timerfd API · 4d672e7a
      Davide Libenzi 提交于
      This is the new timerfd API as it is implemented by the following patch:
      
      int timerfd_create(int clockid, int flags);
      int timerfd_settime(int ufd, int flags,
      		    const struct itimerspec *utmr,
      		    struct itimerspec *otmr);
      int timerfd_gettime(int ufd, struct itimerspec *otmr);
      
      The timerfd_create() API creates an un-programmed timerfd fd.  The "clockid"
      parameter can be either CLOCK_MONOTONIC or CLOCK_REALTIME.
      
      The timerfd_settime() API give new settings by the timerfd fd, by optionally
      retrieving the previous expiration time (in case the "otmr" parameter is not
      NULL).
      
      The time value specified in "utmr" is absolute, if the TFD_TIMER_ABSTIME bit
      is set in the "flags" parameter.  Otherwise it's a relative time.
      
      The timerfd_gettime() API returns the next expiration time of the timer, or
      {0, 0} if the timerfd has not been set yet.
      
      Like the previous timerfd API implementation, read(2) and poll(2) are
      supported (with the same interface).  Here's a simple test program I used to
      exercise the new timerfd APIs:
