For most cases a protection exception in the host (e.g. copy on write or dirty tracking) on the sie instruction will indicate an instruction length of 4. Turns out that there are some corner cases (e.g. runtime instrumentation) where this is not necessarily true and the ILC is unpredictable. Let's replace our 4 byte rewind_pad with 3 byte nops to prepare for all possible ILCs.

git commit c5328901 "[S390] entry[64].S improvements" removed the update of the exit_timer lowcore field from the critical section cleanup of the .Lsysc_restore/.Lsysc_done and .Lio_restore/.Lio_done blocks. If the PSW is updated by the critical section cleanup to point to user space again, the interrupt entry code will do a vtime calculation after the cleanup completed with an exit_timer value which has *not* been updated. Due to this incorrect system time deltas are calculated. If an interrupt occured with an old PSW between .Lsysc_restore/.Lsysc_done or .Lio_restore/.Lio_done update __LC_EXIT_TIMER with the system entry time of the interrupt.

There are three different code levels in regard to the identification of guest samples. They differ in the way the LPP instruction is used. 1) Old kernels without the LPP instruction. The guest program parameter is always zero. 2) Newer kernels load the process pid into the program parameter with LPP. The guest program parameter is non-zero if the guest executes in a process != idle. 3) The latest kernels load ((1UL << 31) | pid) with LPP to make the value non-zero even for the idle task. The guest program parameter is non-zero if the guest is running. All kernels load the process pid to CR4 on context switch. The CPU sampling code uses the value in CR4 to decide between guest and host samples in case the guest program parameter is zero. The three cases: 1) CR4==pid, gpp==0 2) CR4==pid, gpp==pid 3) CR4==pid, gpp==((1UL << 31) | pid) The load-control instruction to load the pid into CR4 is expensive and the goal is to remove it. To distinguish the host CR4 from the guest pid for the idle process the maximum value 0xffff for the PASN is used. This adds a fourth case for a guest OS with an updated kernel: 4) CR4==0xffff, gpp=((1UL << 31) | pid) The host kernel will have CR4==0xffff and will use (gpp!=0 || CR4!==0xffff) to identify guest samples. This works nicely with all 4 cases, the only possible issue would be a guest with an old kernel (gpp==0) and a process pid of 0xffff. Well, don't do that..

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.

Update a task's patch state when returning from a system call or user space interrupt, or after handling a signal. This greatly increases the chances of a patch operation succeeding. If a task is I/O bound, it can be patched when returning from a system call. If a task is CPU bound, it can be patched when returning from an interrupt. If a task is sleeping on a to-be-patched function, the user can send SIGSTOP and SIGCONT to force it to switch. Since there are two ways the syscall can be restarted on return from a signal handling process, it is important to clear the flag before do_signal() is called. Otherwise we could miss the migration if we used SIGSTOP/SIGCONT procedure or fake signal to migrate patching blocking tasks. If we place our hook to sysc_work label in entry before TIF_SIGPENDING is evaluated we kill two birds with one stone. The task is correctly migrated in all return paths from a syscall.

A program check inside the kernel takes a slightly different path in entry.S compare to a normal user fault. A recent change moved the store of the breaking event address into the path taken for in-kernel program checks as well, but %r14 has not been setup to point to the correct location. A wild store is the consequence. Move the store of the breaking event address to the code path for user space faults.

Unbalanced set_fs usages (e.g. early exit from a function and a forgotten set_fs(USER_DS) call) may lead to a situation where the secondary asce is the kernel space asce when returning to user space. This would allow user space to modify kernel space at will. This would only be possible with the above mentioned kernel bug, however we can detect this and fix the secondary asce before returning to user space. Therefore a new TIF_ASCE_SECONDARY which is used within set_fs. When returning to user space check if TIF_ASCE_SECONDARY is set, which would indicate a bug. If it is set print a message to the console, fixup the secondary asce, and then return to user space.

Bit 0x100 of a page table, segment table of region table entry can be used to disallow code execution for the virtual addresses associated with the entry. There is one tricky bit, the system call to return from a signal is part of the signal frame written to the user stack. With a non-executable stack this would stop working. To avoid breaking things the protection fault handler checks the opcode that caused the fault for 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn) and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) and injects a system call. This is preferable to the alternative solution with a stub function in the vdso because it works for vdso=off and statically linked binaries as well.

The last branch in user space is lost as soon as a branch in kernel space is executed after e.g. an svc.

For system damage machine checks or machine checks due to invalid PSW fields the system will be stopped. In order to get an oops message out before killing the system the machine check handler branches to .Lmcck_panic, switches to the panic stack and then does the usual machine check handling. The switch to the panic stack is incomplete, the stack pointer in %r15 is replaced, but the pt_regs pointer in %r11 is not.

It would be named __kprobes_text_start instead. To unconfuse objdump add a nop in front of the kprobes text section. That way __switch_to appears again.

There is a tricky interaction between the machine check handler and the critical sections of load_fpu_regs and save_fpu_regs functions. If the machine check interrupts one of the two functions the critical section cleanup will complete the function before the machine check handler s390_do_machine_check is called. Trouble is that the machine check handler needs to validate the floating point registers *before* and not *after* the completion of load_fpu_regs/save_fpu_regs. The simplest solution is to rewind the PSW to the start of the load_fpu_regs/save_fpu_regs and retry the function after the return from the machine check handler.

commit e22cf8ca ("s390/cpumf: rework program parameter setting to detect guest samples") requires guest changes to get proper guest/host. We can do better: We can use the primary asn value, which is set on all Linux variants to compare this with the host pp value. We now have the following cases: 1. Guest using PP host sample: gpp == 0, asn == hpp --> host guest sample: gpp != 0 --> guest 2. Guest not using PP host sample: gpp == 0, asn == hpp --> host guest sample: gpp == 0, asn != hpp --> guest As soon as the host no longer sets CR4, we must back out this heuristics - let's add a comment in switch_to.

When using systemtap it was observed that our udelay implementation is rather suboptimal if being called from a kprobe handler installed by systemtap. The problem observed when a kprobe was installed on lock_acquired(). When the probe was hit the kprobe handler did call udelay, which set up an (internal) timer and reenabled interrupts (only the clock comparator interrupt) and waited for the interrupt. This is an optimization to avoid that the cpu is busy looping while waiting that enough time passes. The problem is that the interrupt handler still does call irq_enter()/irq_exit() which then again can lead to a deadlock, since some accounting functions may take locks as well. If one of these locks is the same, which caused lock_acquired() to be called, we have a nice deadlock. This patch reworks the udelay code for the interrupts disabled case to immediately leave the low level interrupt handler when the clock comparator interrupt happens. That way no C code is being called and the deadlock cannot happen anymore.

All the other critical sections in entry.S are handled by the code in cleanup_critical that is called by the SWITCH_ASYNC macro.

The HANDLE_SIE_INTERCEPT macro is used in the interrupt handlers and the program check handler to undo a few changes done by sie64a. Among them are guest vs host LPP, the gmap ASCE vs kernel ASCE and the bit that indicates that SIE is currently running on the CPU. There is a race of a voluntary SIE exit vs asynchronous interrupts. If the CPU completed the SIE instruction and the TM instruction of the LPP macro at the time it receives an interrupt, the interrupt handler will run while the LPP, the ASCE and the SIE bit are still set up for guest execution. This might result in wrong sampling data, but it will not cause data corruption or lockups. The critical section in sie64a needs to be enlarged to include all instructions that undo the changes required for guest execution. Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Improve the save and restore behavior of FPU register contents to use the vector extension within the kernel. The kernel does not use floating-point or vector registers and, therefore, saving and restoring the FPU register contents are performed for handling signals or switching processes only. To prepare for using vector instructions and vector registers within the kernel, enhance the save behavior and implement a lazy restore at return to user space from a system call or interrupt. To implement the lazy restore, the save_fpu_regs() sets a CPU information flag, CIF_FPU, to indicate that the FPU registers must be restored. Saving and setting CIF_FPU is performed in an atomic fashion to be interrupt-safe. When the kernel wants to use the vector extension or wants to change the FPU register state for a task during signal handling, the save_fpu_regs() must be called first. The CIF_FPU flag is also set at process switch. At return to user space, the FPU state is restored. In particular, the FPU state includes the floating-point or vector register contents, as well as, vector-enablement and floating-point control. The FPU state restore and clearing CIF_FPU is also performed in an atomic fashion. For KVM, the restore of the FPU register state is performed when restoring the general-purpose guest registers before the SIE instructions is started. Because the path towards the SIE instruction is interruptible, the CIF_FPU flag must be checked again right before going into SIE. If set, the guest registers must be reloaded again by re-entering the outer SIE loop. This is the same behavior as if the SIE critical section is interrupted.

git commit 0c8c0f03 "x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'" moved the thread_struct to the end of the task_struct. This causes some of the offsets used in entry.S to overflow their instruction operand field. To fix this use aghi to create a dedicated pointer for the thread_struct.
