s390: move spectre sysfs attribute code

2018-05-26T06:48:59+00:00

[ Upstream commit 4253b0e0627ee3461e64c2495c616f1c8f6b127b ]

The nospec-branch.c file is compiled without the gcc options to
generate expoline thunks. The return branch of the sysfs show
functions cpu_show_spectre_v1 and cpu_show_spectre_v2 is an indirect
branch as well. These need to be compiled with expolines.

Move the sysfs functions for spectre reporting to a separate file
and loose an '.' for one of the messages.

s390: move nobp parameter functions to nospec-branch.c

2018-04-29T05:50:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit b2e2f43a01bace1a25bdbae04c9f9846882b727a ]

Keep the code for the nobp parameter handling with the code for
expolines. Both are related to the spectre v2 mitigation.

s390: introduce execute-trampolines for branches

2018-04-29T05:50:03+00:00

[ Upstream commit f19fbd5ed642dc31c809596412dab1ed56f2f156 ]

Add CONFIG_EXPOLINE to enable the use of the new -mindirect-branch= and
-mfunction_return= compiler options to create a kernel fortified against
the specte v2 attack.

With CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y all indirect branches will be issued with an
execute type instruction. For z10 or newer the EXRL instruction will
be used, for older machines the EX instruction. The typical indirect
call

	basr	%r14,%r1

is replaced with a PC relative call to a new thunk

	brasl	%r14,__s390x_indirect_jump_r1

The thunk contains the EXRL/EX instruction to the indirect branch

__s390x_indirect_jump_r1:
	exrl	0,0f
	j	.
0:	br	%r1

The detour via the execute type instruction has a performance impact.
To get rid of the detour the new kernel parameter "nospectre_v2" and
"spectre_v2=[on,off,auto]" can be used. If the parameter is specified
the kernel and module code will be patched at runtime.

s390: enable CPU alternatives unconditionally

2018-04-29T05:50:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 049a2c2d486e8cc82c5cd79fa479c5b105b109e9 ]

Remove the CPU_ALTERNATIVES config option and enable the code
unconditionally. The config option was only added to avoid a conflict
with the named saved segment support. Since that code is gone there is
no reason to keep the CPU_ALTERNATIVES config option.

Just enable it unconditionally to also reduce the number of config
options and make it less likely that something breaks.

s390: introduce CPU alternatives

2018-04-29T05:50:02+00:00

[ Upstream commit 686140a1a9c41d85a4212a1c26d671139b76404b ]

Implement CPU alternatives, which allows to optionally patch newer
instructions at runtime, based on CPU facilities availability.

A new kernel boot parameter "noaltinstr" disables patching.

Current implementation is derived from x86 alternatives. Although
ideal instructions padding (when altinstr is longer then oldinstr)
is added at compile time, and no oldinstr nops optimization has to be
done at runtime. Also couple of compile time sanity checks are done:
1. oldinstr and altinstr must be <= 254 bytes long,
2. oldinstr and altinstr must not have an odd length.

alternative(oldinstr, altinstr, facility);
alternative_2(oldinstr, altinstr1, facility1, altinstr2, facility2);

Both compile time and runtime padding consists of either 6/4/2 bytes nop
or a jump (brcl) + 2 bytes nop filler if padding is longer then 6 bytes.

.altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections are part of
__init_begin : __init_end region and are freed after initialization.

s390/diag: add tracepoint for diagnose calls

2015-10-14T12:32:06+00:00

To be able to analyse problems in regard to hypervisor overhead
add a tracepoing for diagnose calls. It reports the number of
the diagnose issued, e.g.

            sshd-1385  [002] ....    42.701431: diagnose: nr=0x9c
          -0     [001] ..s.    43.587528: diagnose: nr=0x9c

s390/sclp: convert early sclp console code to C

2015-07-29T07:11:39+00:00

The 31-bit assembler code for the early sclp console is error
prone as git commit fde24b54d976cc123506695c17db01438a11b673
"s390/sclp: clear upper register halves in _sclp_print_early"

s390: remove "64" suffix from mem64.S and swsusp_asm64.S

2015-03-25T10:49:51+00:00

Rename two more files which I forgot. Also remove the "asm" from the
swsusp_asm64.S file, since the ".S" suffix already makes it obvious
that this file contains assembler code.

s390: remove 31 bit support

2015-03-25T10:49:33+00:00

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: a960062e5826 ("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.
