arch: remove unused macro/function thread_saved_pc()

2017-06-28T23:13:57+00:00

The only user of thread_saved_pc() in non-arch-specific code was removed
in commit 8243d5597793 ("sched/core: Remove pointless printout in
sched_show_task()").  Remove the implementations as well.

Some architectures use thread_saved_pc() in their arch-specific code.
Leave their thread_saved_pc() intact.

s390/mm: make TASK_SIZE independent from the number of page table levels

2017-04-25T05:47:32+00:00

The TASK_SIZE for a process should be maximum possible size of the address
space, 2GB for a 31-bit process and 8PB for a 64-bit process. The number
of page table levels required for a given memory layout is a consequence
of the mapped memory areas and their location.

s390: add a system call for guarded storage

2017-03-22T07:14:25+00:00

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.

s390: TASK_SIZE for kernel threads

2017-02-24T07:43:38+00:00

Return a sensible value if TASK_SIZE if called from a kernel thread.

This gets us around an issue with copy_mount_options that does a magic
size calculation "TASK_SIZE - (unsigned long)data" while in a kernel
thread and data pointing to kernel space.

s390: restore address space when returning to user space

2017-02-23T09:06:38+00:00

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.

This is similar to what is being discussed for x86 and arm:
"[RFC] syscalls: Restore address limit after a syscall".

s390: rename CIF_ASCE to CIF_ASCE_PRIMARY

2017-02-23T09:06:38+00:00

This is just a preparation patch in order to keep the "restore address
space after syscall" patch small.
Rename CIF_ASCE to CIF_ASCE_PRIMARY to be unique and specific when
introducing a second CIF_ASCE_SECONDARY CIF flag.

sched/cputime, s390: Implement delayed accounting of system time

2017-01-14T08:54:12+00:00

The account_system_time() function is called with a cputime that
occurred while running in the kernel. The function detects which
context the CPU is currently running in and accounts the time to
the correct bucket. This forces the arch code to account the
cputime for hardirq and softirq immediately.

Such accounting function can be costly and perform unwelcome divisions
and multiplications, among others.

The arch code can delay the accounting for system time. For s390
the accounting is done once per timer tick and for each task switch.

   - Add support for the contiguous memory allocator.

   - The recovery for I/O errors in the dasd device driver is improved,
     the driver will now remove channel paths that are not working
     properly.

   - Additional fields are added to /proc/sysinfo, the extended
     partition name and the partition UUID.

   - New naming for PCI devices with system defined UIDs.

   - The last few remaining alloc_bootmem calls are converted to
     memblock.

   - The thread_info structure is stripped down and moved to the
     task_struct. The only field left in thread_info is the flags field.

   - Rework of the arch topology code to fix a fake numa issue.

   - Refactoring of the atomic primitives and add a new preempt_count
     implementation.

   - Clocksource steering for the STP sync check offsets.

     CLANG.
