s390/spinlock: remove compare and delay instruction

2017-04-12T06:43:33+00:00

The CAD instruction never worked quite as expected for the spinlock
code. It has been disabled by default with git commit 61b0b01686d48220,
if the "cad" kernel parameter is specified it is enabled for both user
space and the spinlock code. Leave the option to enable the instruction
for user space but remove it from the spinlock code.

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: get rid of MACHINE_HAS_PFMF and MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE

2017-02-17T06:41:01+00:00

Both MACHINE_HAS_PFMF and MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE are just an alias for
MACHINE_HAS_EDAT1. So simply use MACHINE_HAS_EDAT1 instead.

s390: add no-execute support

2017-02-08T13:13:25+00:00

Bit 0x100 of a page table, segment table of region table entry
can be used to disallow code execution for the virtual addresses
associated with the entry.

There is one tricky bit, the system call to return from a signal
is part of the signal frame written to the user stack. With a
non-executable stack this would stop working. To avoid breaking
things the protection fault handler checks the opcode that caused
the fault for 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn) and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn)
and injects a system call. This is preferable to the alternative
solution with a stub function in the vdso because it works for
vdso=off and statically linked binaries as well.

s390/console: Make preferred console handling more consistent

2016-07-13T08:58:07+00:00

Use the same code structure when determining preferred consoles for
Linux running as KVM guest as with Linux running in LPAR and z/VM
guest:

 - Extend the console_mode variable to cover vt220 and hvc consoles
 - Determine sensible console defaults in conmode_default()
 - Remove KVM-special handling in set_preferred_console()

Ensure that the sclp line mode console is also registered when the
vt220 console was selected to not change existing behavior that
someone might be relying on.

As an externally visible change, KVM guest users can now select
the 3270 or 3215 console devices using the conmode= kernel parameter,
provided that support for the corresponding driver was compiled into
the kernel.

s390/fault: merge report_user_fault implementations

2016-03-02T12:44:27+00:00

We have two close to identical report_user_fault functions.
Add a parameter to one and get rid of the other one in order
to reduce code duplication.

s390/setup: cleanup machine flags

2015-12-18T13:59:32+00:00

Over time some machine flags got unused (e.g. MACHINE_FLAG_MVPG)
or are available on all 64bit systems (MACHINE_FLAG_CSP,
MACHINE_FLAG_IEEE) - let's remove them.
Reorder the other ones to match the order of the MACHINE_HAS_*
macros and renumber all bits to avoid holes.
Also fix the comment about where the flags are detected.

s390/cpumf: rework program parameter setting to detect guest samples

2015-10-14T12:32:12+00:00

The program parameter can be used to mark hardware samples with
some token.  Previously, it was used to mark guest samples only.

Improve the program parameter doubleword by combining two parts,
the leftmost LPP part and the rightmost PID part.  Set the PID
part for processes by using the task PID.
To distinguish host and guest samples for the kernel (PID part
is zero), the guest must always set the program paramater to a
non-zero value.  Use the leftmost bit in the LPP part of the
program parameter to be able to detect guest kernel samples.

[brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com]: Split __LC_CURRENT and introduced
__LC_LPP. Corrected __LC_CURRENT users and adjusted assembler parts.
And updated the commit message accordingly.

s390/entry: add assembler macro to conveniently tests under mask

2015-10-14T12:32:09+00:00

Various functions in entry.S perform test-under-mask instructions
to test for particular bits in memory.  Because test-under-mask uses
a mask value of one byte, the mask value and the offset into the
memory must be calculated manually.  This easily introduces errors
and is hard to review and read.

Introduce the TSTMSK assembler macro to specify a mask constant and
let the macro calculate the offset and the byte mask to generate a
test-under-mask instruction.  The benefit is that existing symbolic
constants can now be used for tests.  Also the macro checks for
zero mask values and mask values that consist of multiple bytes.

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.
