commit 378ca2d2ad410a1cd5690d06b46c5e2297f4c8c0 upstream.

Align system call table on 8 bytes. With sys_call_table entry size
of 8 bytes that eliminates the possibility of a system call pointer
crossing cache line boundary.

[ Upstream commit a994eddb947ea9ebb7b14d9a1267001699f0a136 ]

Currently psw_idle does not allocate a stack frame and does not
save its r14 and r15 into the save area. Even though this is valid from
call ABI point of view, because psw_idle does not make any calls
explicitly, in reality psw_idle is an entry point for controlled
transition into serving interrupts. So, in practice, psw_idle stack
frame is analyzed during stack unwinding. Depending on build options
that r14 slot in the save area of psw_idle might either contain a value
saved by previous sibling call or complete garbage.

commit 0b38b5e1d0e2f361e418e05c179db05bb688bbd6 upstream.

When userspace executes a syscall or gets interrupted,
BEAR contains a kernel address when returning to userspace.
This make it pretty easy to figure out where the kernel is
mapped even with KASLR enabled. To fix this, add lpswe to
lowcore and always execute it there, so userspace sees only
the lowcore address of lpswe. For this we have to extend
both critical_cleanup and the SWITCH_ASYNC macro to also check
for lpswe addresses in lowcore.

There never have been distributions that shiped with CONFIG_SMP=n for
s390. In addition the kernel currently doesn't even compile with
CONFIG_SMP=n for s390. Most likely it wouldn't even work, even if we
fix the compile error, since nobody tests it, since there is no use
case that I can think of.
Therefore simply enforce CONFIG_SMP and get rid of some more or
less unused code.

<title>s390: autogenerate compat syscall wrappers</title>

<content type='text'>
Any system call that takes a pointer argument on s390 requires
a wrapper function to do a 31-to-64 zero-extension, these are
currently generated in arch/s390/kernel/compat_wrapper.c.

On arm64 and x86, we already generate similar wrappers for all
system calls in the place of their definition, just for a different
purpose (they load the arguments from pt_regs).

We can do the same thing here, by adding an asm/syscall_wrapper.h
file with a copy of all the relevant macros to override the generic
version. Besides the addition of the compat entry point, these also
rename the entry points with a __s390_ or __s390x_ prefix, similar
to what we do on arm64 and x86. This in turn requires renaming
a few things, and adding a proper ni_syscall() entry point.

In order to still compile system call definitions that pass an
loff_t argument, the __SC_COMPAT_CAST() macro checks for that
and forces an -ENOSYS error, which was the best I could come up
with. Those functions must obviously not get called from user
space, but instead require hand-written compat_sys_*() handlers,
which fortunately already exist.

<content type='text'>
Increase kasan instrumented kernel stack size from 32k to 64k. Other
architectures seems to get away with just doubling kernel stack size under
kasan, but on s390 this appears to be not enough due to bigger frame size.
The particular pain point is kasan inlined checks (CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE
vs CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE). With inlined checks one particular case hitting
stack overflow is fs sync on xfs filesystem:

Increase kasan instrumented kernel stack size from 32k to 64k. Other
architectures seems to get away with just doubling kernel stack size under
kasan, but on s390 this appears to be not enough due to bigger frame size.
The particular pain point is kasan inlined checks (CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE
vs CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE). With inlined checks one particular case hitting
stack overflow is fs sync on xfs filesystem:

<title>s390: add support for virtually mapped kernel stacks</title>

<content type='text'>
With virtually mapped kernel stacks the kernel stack overflow detection
is now fault based, every stack has a guard page in the vmalloc space.
The panic_stack is renamed to nodat_stack and is used for all function
that need to run without DAT, e.g. memcpy_real or do_start_kdump.

The main effect is a reduction in the kernel image size as with vmap
stacks the old style overflow checking that adds two instructions per
function is not needed anymore. Result from bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 20/1 grow/shrink: 13/26854 up/down: 2198/-216240 (-214042)

In regard to performance the micro-benchmark for fork has a hit of a
few microseconds, allocating 4 pages in vmalloc space is more expensive
compare to an order-2 page allocation. But with real workload I could
not find a noticeable difference.
