s390/kaslr: provide kaslr_enabled() function

2023-04-13T15:36:25+00:00

Just like other architectures provide a kaslr_enabled() function, instead
of directly accessing a global variable.

Also pass the renamed __kaslr_enabled variable from the decompressor to the
kernel, so that kalsr_enabled() is available there too. This will be used
by a subsequent patch which randomizes the module base load address.

s390/boot: rework decompressor reserved tracking

2023-03-20T10:02:50+00:00

Currently several approaches for finding unused memory in decompressor
are utilized. While "safe_addr" grows towards higher addresses, vmem
code allocates paging structures top down. The former requires careful
ordering. In addition to that ipl report handling code verifies potential
intersections with secure boot certificates on its own. Neither of two
approaches are memory holes aware and consistent with each other in low
memory conditions.

To solve that, existing approaches are generalized and combined
together, as well as online memory ranges are now taken into
consideration.

physmem_info has been extended to contain reserved memory ranges. New
set of functions allow to handle reserves and find unused memory.
All reserves and memory allocations are "typed". In case of out of
memory condition decompressor fails with detailed info on current
reserved ranges and usable online memory.

physmem_alloc_range allows to find free memory in specified range. It
should be used for one time allocations only like finding position for
amode31 and vmlinux.
physmem_alloc_top_down can be used just like physmem_alloc_range, but
it also allows multiple allocations per type and tries to merge sequential
allocations together. Which is useful for paging structures allocations.
If sequential allocations cannot be merged together they are "chained",
allowing easy per type reserved ranges enumeration and migration to
memblock later. Extra "struct reserved_range" allocated for chaining are
not tracked or reserved but rely on the fact that both
physmem_alloc_range and physmem_alloc_top_down search for free memory
only below current top down allocator position. All reserved ranges
should be transferred to memblock before memblock allocations are
enabled.

The startup code has been reordered to delay any memory allocations until
online memory ranges are detected and occupied memory ranges are marked as
reserved to be excluded from follow-up allocations.
Ipl report certificates are a special case, ipl report certificates list
is checked together with other memory reserves until certificates are
saved elsewhere.
KASAN required memory for shadow memory allocation and mapping is reserved
as 1 large chunk which is later passed to KASAN early initialization code.

s390/boot: remove non-functioning image bootable check

2023-03-20T10:02:50+00:00

check_image_bootable() has been introduced with commit 627c9b62058e
("s390/boot: block uncompressed vmlinux booting attempts") to make sure
that users don't try to boot uncompressed vmlinux ELF image in qemu. It
used to be possible quite some time ago. That commit prevented confusion
with uncompressed vmlinux image starting to boot and even printing
kernel messages until it crashed. Users might have tried to report the
problem without realizing they are doing something which was not intended.
Since commit f1d3c5323772 ("s390/boot: move sclp early buffer from fixed
address in asm to C") check_image_bootable() doesn't function properly
anymore, as well as booting uncompressed vmlinux image in qemu doesn't
really produce any output and crashes. Moving forward it doesn't make
sense to fix check_image_bootable() anymore, so simply remove it.

s390/setup: always inline gen_lpswe()

2023-03-13T08:16:43+00:00

gen_lpswe() contains a BUILD_BUG_ON() statement which depends on a function
parameter. If the compiler decides to generate a not inlined function this
will lead to a build error, even if all call sites pass a valid parameter.

To avoid this always inline gen_lpswe().

s390/mm: add support for RDP (Reset DAT-Protection)

2023-02-14T10:45:39+00:00

RDP instruction allows to reset DAT-protection bit in a PTE, with less
CPU synchronization overhead than IPTE instruction. In particular, IPTE
can cause machine-wide synchronization overhead, and excessive IPTE usage
can negatively impact machine performance.

RDP can be used instead of IPTE, if the new PTE only differs in SW bits
and _PAGE_PROTECT HW bit, for PTE protection changes from RO to RW.
SW PTE bit changes are allowed, e.g. for dirty and young tracking, but none
of the other HW-defined part of the PTE must change. This is because the
architecture forbids such changes to an active and valid PTE, which
is why invalidation with IPTE is always used first, before writing a new
entry.

The RDP optimization helps mainly for fault-driven SW dirty-bit tracking.
Writable PTEs are initially always mapped with HW _PAGE_PROTECT bit set,
to allow SW dirty-bit accounting on first write protection fault, where
the DAT-protection would then be reset. The reset is now done with RDP
instead of IPTE, if RDP instruction is available.

RDP cannot always guarantee that the DAT-protection reset is propagated
to all CPUs immediately. This means that spurious TLB protection faults
on other CPUs can now occur. For this, common code provides a
flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() handler, which will now be used to do a
CPU-local TLB flush. However, this will clear the whole TLB of a CPU, and
not just the affected entry. For more fine-grained flushing, by simply
doing a (local) RDP again, flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() would need to
also provide the PTE pointer.

Note that spurious TLB protection faults cannot really be distinguished
from racing pagetable updates, where another thread already installed the
correct PTE. In such a case, the local TLB flush would be unnecessary
overhead, but overall reduction of CPU synchronization overhead by not
using IPTE is still expected to be beneficial.

s390/mm: start kernel with DAT enabled

2023-01-13T13:15:05+00:00

The setup of the kernel virtual address space is spread
throughout the sources, boot stages and config options
like this:

1. The available physical memory regions are queried
   and stored as mem_detect information for later use
   in the decompressor.

2. Based on the physical memory availability the virtual
   memory layout is established in the decompressor;

3. If CONFIG_KASAN is disabled the kernel paging setup
   code populates kernel pgtables and turns DAT mode on.
   It uses the information stored at step [1].

4. If CONFIG_KASAN is enabled the kernel early boot
   kasan setup populates kernel pgtables and turns DAT
   mode on. It uses the information stored at step [1].

   The kasan setup creates early_pg_dir directory and
   directly overwrites swapper_pg_dir entries to make
   shadow memory pages available.

Move the kernel virtual memory setup to the decompressor
and start the kernel with DAT turned on right from the
very first istruction. That completely eliminates the
boot phase when the kernel runs in DAT-off mode, simplies
the overall design and consolidates pgtables setup.

The identity mapping is created in the decompressor, while
kasan shadow mappings are still created by the early boot
kernel code.

Share with decompressor the existing kasan memory allocator.
It decreases the size of a newly requested memory block from
pgalloc_pos and ensures that kernel image is not overwritten.
pgalloc_low and pgalloc_pos pointers are made preserved boot
variables for that.

Use the bootdata infrastructure to setup swapper_pg_dir
and invalid_pg_dir directories used by the kernel later.
The interim early_pg_dir directory established by the
kasan initialization code gets eliminated as result.

As the kernel runs in DAT-on mode only the PSW_KERNEL_BITS
define gets PSW_MASK_DAT bit by default. Additionally, the
setup_lowcore_dat_off() and setup_lowcore_dat_on() routines
get merged, since there is no DAT-off mode stage anymore.

The memory mappings are created with RW+X protection that
allows the early boot code setting up all necessary data
and services for the kernel being booted. Just before the
paging is enabled the memory protection is changed to
RO+X for text, RO+NX for read-only data and RW+NX for
kernel data and the identity mapping.

s390: support command lines longer than 896 bytes

2021-10-26T13:21:31+00:00

Currently s390 supports a fixed maximum command line length of 896
bytes. This isn't enough as some installers are trying to pass all
configuration data via kernel command line, and even with zfcp alone
it is easy to generate really long command lines. Therefore extend
the command line to 4 kbytes.

In the parm area where the command line is stored there is no indication
of the maximum allowed length, so a new field which contains the maximum
length is added.

The parm area has always been initialized to zero, so with old kernels
this field would read zero. This is important because tools like zipl
could read this field. If it contains a number larger than zero zipl
knows the maximum length that can be stored in the parm area, otherwise
it must assume that it is booting a legacy kernel and only 896 bytes are
available.

The removing of trailing whitespace in head.S is also removed because
code to do this is already present in setup_boot_command_line().
