<title>s390/smp: enable DAT before CPU restart callback is called</title>

<id>915fea04f9320d0f4ab6ecbb6bf759eebcd2c41d</id>
<content type='text'>
The restart interrupt is triggered whenever a secondary CPU is
brought online, a remote function call dispatched from another
CPU or a manual PSW restart is initiated and causes the system
to kdump. The handling routine is always called with DAT turned
off. It then initializes the stack frame and invokes a callback.

The existing callbacks handle DAT as follows:

  * __do_restart() and __machine_kexec() turn in on upon entry;
  * __ipl_run(), __reipl_run() and __dump_run() do not turn it
    right away, but all of them call diag308() - which turns DAT
    on, but only if kasan is enabled;

In addition to the described complexity all callbacks (and the
functions they call) should avoid kasan instrumentation while
DAT is off.

This update enables DAT in the assembler restart handler and
relieves any callbacks (which are mostly C functions) from
dealing with DAT altogether.

There are four types of CPU restart that initialize control
registers in different ways:

  1. Start of secondary CPU on boot - control registers are
     inherited from the IPL CPU;
  2. Restart of online CPU - control registers of the CPU being
     restarted are kept;
  3. Hotplug of offline CPU - control registers are inherited
     from the starting CPU;
  4. Start of offline CPU triggered by manual PSW restart -
     the control registers are read from the absolute lowcore
     and contain the boot time IPL CPU values updated with all
     follow-up calls of smp_ctl_set_bit() and smp_ctl_clear_bit()
     routines;

In first three cases contents of the control registers is the
most recent. In the latter case control registers are good
enough to facilitate successful completion of kdump operation.

s390 is the only architecture which makes use of the __no_kasan_or_inline
attribute for two functions. Given that both stap() and __load_psw_mask()
are very small functions they can and should be always inlined anyway.

Therefore get rid of __no_kasan_or_inline and always inline these
functions.

<title>s390: convert to generic entry</title>

<id>56e62a73702836017564eaacd5212e4d0fa1c01d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch converts s390 to use the generic entry infrastructure from
kernel/entry/*.

There are a few special things on s390:

- PIF_PER_TRAP is moved to TIF_PER_TRAP as the generic code doesn't
  know about our PIF flags in exit_to_user_mode_loop().

- The old code had several ways to restart syscalls:

  a) PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART, which was only set during execve to force a
     restart after upgrading a process (usually qemu-kvm) to pgste page
     table extensions.

  b) PIF_SYSCALL, which is set by do_signal() to indicate that the
     current syscall should be restarted. This is changed so that
     do_signal() now also uses PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART. Continuing to use
     PIF_SYSCALL doesn't work with the generic code, and changing it
     to PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART makes PIF_SYSCALL and PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART
     more unique.

- On s390 calling sys_sigreturn or sys_rt_sigreturn is implemented by
executing a svc instruction on the process stack which causes a fault.
While handling that fault the fault code sets PIF_SYSCALL to hand over
processing to the syscall code on exit to usermode.

The patch introduces PIF_SYSCALL_RET_SET, which is set if ptrace sets
a return value for a syscall. The s390x ptrace ABI uses r2 both for the
syscall number and return value, so ptrace cannot set the syscall number +
return value at the same time. The flag makes handling that a bit easier.
do_syscall() will just skip executing the syscall if PIF_SYSCALL_RET_SET
is set.

CONFIG_DEBUG_ASCE was removd in favour of the generic CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY.
CR1/7/13 will be checked both on kernel entry and exit to contain the
correct asces.

<content type='text'>
udelay is implemented by using quite subtle details to make it
possible to load an idle psw and waiting for an interrupt even in irq
context or when interrupts are disabled. Also handling (or better: no
handling) of softirqs is taken into account.

All this is done to optimize for something which should in normal
circumstances never happen: calling udelay to busy wait. Therefore get
rid of the whole complexity and just busy loop like other
architectures are doing it also.

It could have been possible to use diag 0x44 instead of cpu_relax() in
the busy loop, however we have seen too many bad things happen with
diag 0x44 that it seems to be better to simply busy loop.

Also note that with this new implementation kernel preemption does
work when within the udelay loop. This did not work before.

To get a feeling what the former code optimizes for: IPL'ing a kernel
with 'defconfig' and afterwards compiling a kernel ends with a total
of zero udelay calls.

<title>s390/mm: remove set_fs / rework address space handling</title>

<id>87d5986345219a7e4f204726d9085ea87f3e22d0</id>
<content type='text'>
Remove set_fs support from s390. With doing this rework address space
handling and simplify it. As a result address spaces are now setup
like this:

CPU running in              | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE | %cr13 ASCE
----------------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------
user space                  |  user     |  user     |  kernel
kernel, normal execution    |  kernel   |  user     |  kernel
kernel, kvm guest execution |  gmap     |  user     |  kernel

To achieve this the getcpu vdso syscall is removed in order to avoid
secondary address mode and a separate vdso address space in for user
space. The getcpu vdso syscall will be implemented differently with a
subsequent patch.

The kernel accesses user space always via secondary address space.
This happens in different ways:
- with mvcos in home space mode and directly read/write to secondary
  address space
- with mvcs/mvcp in primary space mode and copy from primary space to
  secondary space or vice versa
- with e.g. cs in secondary space mode and access secondary space

Switching translation modes happens with sacf before and after
instructions which access user space, like before.

Lazy handling of control register reloading is removed in the hope to
make everything simpler, but at the cost of making kernel entry and
exit a bit slower. That is: on kernel entry the primary asce is always
changed to contain the kernel asce, and on kernel exit the primary
asce is changed again so it contains the user asce.

In kernel mode there is only one exception to the primary asce: when
kvm guests are executed the primary asce contains the gmap asce (which
describes the guest address space). The primary asce is reset to
kernel asce whenever kvm guest execution is interrupted, so that this
doesn't has to be taken into account for any user space accesses.

Remove set_fs support from s390. With doing this rework address space
handling and simplify it. As a result address spaces are now setup
like this:

CPU running in              | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE | %cr13 ASCE
----------------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------
user space                  |  user     |  user     |  kernel
kernel, normal execution    |  kernel   |  user     |  kernel
kernel, kvm guest execution |  gmap     |  user     |  kernel

To achieve this the getcpu vdso syscall is removed in order to avoid
secondary address mode and a separate vdso address space in for user
space. The getcpu vdso syscall will be implemented differently with a
subsequent patch.

The kernel accesses user space always via secondary address space.
This happens in different ways:
- with mvcos in home space mode and directly read/write to secondary
  address space
- with mvcs/mvcp in primary space mode and copy from primary space to
  secondary space or vice versa
- with e.g. cs in secondary space mode and access secondary space

Switching translation modes happens with sacf before and after
instructions which access user space, like before.
