<title>s390/entry: add CIF_SIE flag and remove sie64a() address check</title>

<content type='text'>
When a program check, interrupt or machine check is triggered, the
PSW address is compared to a certain range of the sie64a() function
to figure out whether SIE was interrupted and a cleanup of SIE is
needed.

This doesn't work with kprobes: If kprobes probes an instruction, it
copies the instruction to the kprobes instruction page and overwrites the
original instruction with an undefind instruction (Opcode 00). When this
instruction is hit later, kprobes single-steps the instruction on the
kprobes_instruction page.

However, if this instruction is a relative branch instruction it will now
point to a different location in memory due to being moved to the kprobes
instruction page. If the new branch target points into sie64a() the kernel
assumes it interrupted SIE when processing the breakpoint and will crash
trying to access the SIE control block.

Instead of comparing the address, introduce a new CIF_SIE flag which
indicates whether SIE was interrupted.

<title>s390/fpu: limit save and restore to used registers</title>

<content type='text'>
The first invocation of kernel_fpu_begin() after switching from user to
kernel context will save all vector registers, even if only parts of the
vector registers are used within the kernel fpu context. Given that save
and restore of all vector registers is quite expensive change the current
approach in several ways:

- Instead of saving and restoring all user registers limit this to those
  registers which are actually used within an kernel fpu context.

- On context switch save all remaining user fpu registers, so they can be
  restored when the task is rescheduled.

- Saving user registers within kernel_fpu_begin() is done without disabling
  and enabling interrupts - which also slightly reduces runtime. In worst
  case (e.g. interrupt context uses the same registers) this may lead to
  the situation that registers are saved several times, however the
  assumption is that this will not happen frequently, so that the new
  method is faster in nearly all cases.

- save_user_fpu_regs() can still be called from all contexts and saves all
  (or all remaining) user registers to a tasks ufpu user fpu save area.

Overall this reduces the time required to save and restore the user fpu
context for nearly all cases.

thread_struct, and use it to save and restore the kernel fpu context if its
task uses fpu registers when it is preempted.

Rename save_fpu_regs(), load_fpu_regs(), and struct thread_struct's fpu
member to save_user_fpu_regs(), load_user_fpu_regs(), and ufpu. This way
the function and variable names reflect for which context they are supposed
to be used.

This large and trivial conversion is a prerequisite for making the kernel
fpu usage preemptible.

<title>s390/fpu: convert FPU CIF flag to regular TIF flag</title>

The FPU state, as represented by the CIF_FPU flag reflects the FPU state of
a task, not the CPU it is running on. Therefore convert the flag to a
regular TIF flag.

This removes the magic in switch_to() where a save_fpu_regs() call for the
currently (previous) running task sets the per-cpu CIF_FPU flag, which is
required to restore FPU register contents of the next task, when it returns
to user space.

Move, rename, and merge the fpu and vx header files. This way fpu header
files have a consistent naming scheme (fpu*.h).

Also get rid of the fpu subdirectory and move header files to asm
directory, so that all fpu and vx header files can be found at the same
location.

Merge internal.h header file into other header files, since the internal
helpers are used at many locations. so those helper functions are really
not internal.

Pull s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

 - Add machine variable capacity information to /proc/sysinfo.

 - Limit the waste of page tables and always align vmalloc area size and
   base address on segment boundary.

 - Fix a memory leak when an attempt to register interruption sub class
   (ISC) for the adjunct-processor (AP) guest failed.

 - Reset response code AP_RESPONSE_INVALID_GISA to understandable by
   guest AP_RESPONSE_INVALID_ADDRESS in response to a failed
   interruption sub class (ISC) registration attempt.

 - Improve reaction to adjunct-processor (AP)
   AP_RESPONSE_OTHERWISE_CHANGED response code when enabling interrupts
   on behalf of a guest.

 - Fix incorrect sysfs 'status' attribute of adjunct-processor (AP)
   queue device bound to the vfio_ap device driver when the mediated
   device is attached to a guest, but the queue device is not passed
   through.

 - Rework struct ap_card to hold the whole adjunct-processor (AP) card
   hardware information. As result, all the ugly bit checks are replaced
   by simple evaluations of the required bit fields.

 - Improve handling of some weird scenarios between service element (SE)
   host and SE guest with adjunct-processor (AP) pass-through support.

 - Change local_ctl_set_bit() and local_ctl_clear_bit() so they return
   the previous value of the to be changed control register. This is
   useful if a bit is only changed temporarily and the previous content
   needs to be restored.

 - The kernel starts with machine checks disabled and is expected to
   enable it once trap_init() is called. However the implementation
   allows machine checks early. Consistently enable it in trap_init()
   only.

 - local_mcck_disable() and local_mcck_enable() assume that machine
   checks are always enabled. Instead implement and use
   local_mcck_save() and local_mcck_restore() to disable machine checks
   and restore the previous state.

 - Modification of floating point control (FPC) register of a traced
   process using ptrace interface may lead to corruption of the FPC
   register of the tracing process. Fix this.

 - kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_fpu() allows to set the floating point
   control (FPC) register in vCPU, but may lead to corruption of the FPC
   register of the host process. Fix this.

 - Use READ_ONCE() to read a vCPU floating point register value from the
   memory mapped area. This avoids that, depending on code generation, a
   different value is tested for validity than the one that is used.

 - Get rid of test_fp_ctl(), since it is quite subtle to use it
   correctly. Instead copy a new floating point control register value
   into its save area and test the validity of the new value when
   loading it.

 - Remove superfluous save_fpu_regs() call.

 - Remove s390 support for ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT. All machines
   provide the vector facility since many years and the need to make the
   task structure size dependent on the vector facility does not exist.

 - Remove the "novx" kernel command line option, as the vector code runs
   without any problems since many years.

 - Add the vector facility to the z13 architecture level set (ALS). All
   hypervisors support the vector facility since many years. This allows
   compile time optimizations of the kernel.

 - Get rid of MACHINE_HAS_VX and replace it with cpu_has_vx(). As
   result, the compiled code will have less runtime checks and less
   code.

 - Convert pgste_get_lock() and pgste_set_unlock() ASM inlines to C.

 - Convert the struct subchannel spinlock from pointer to member.

s390 selects ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT in order to make the size of
the task structure dependent on the availability of the vector
facility. This doesn't make sense anymore because since many years all
machines provide the vector facility.

Therefore simplify the code a bit and remove s390 support for
ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT.

Instead of using local_mcck_disable() / local_mcck_enable() implement and
use local_mcck_save() / local_mcck_restore() to disable machine checks, and
restoring the previous state.

The problem with using local_mcck_disable() / local_mcck_enable() is that
there is an assumption that machine checks are always enabled. While this
is currently the case the code still looks quite odd, readers need to
double check if the code is correct.

In order to increase readability save and then restore the old machine
check mask bit, instead of assuming that it must have been enabled.
