When running s390 images with 'compat' processes, the following
BUG is seen repeatedly.

BUG: non-zero pgtables_bytes on freeing mm: -16384

Bisect points to commit b4e98d9ac775 ("mm: account pud page tables").
Analysis shows that init_new_context() is called with
mm-&gt;context.asce_limit set to _REGION3_SIZE. In this situation,
pgtables_bytes remains set to 0 and is not increased. The message is
displayed when the affected process dies and mm_dec_nr_puds() is called.

<title>s390: introduce execute-trampolines for branches</title>

<id>f19fbd5ed642dc31c809596412dab1ed56f2f156</id>
<content type='text'>
Add CONFIG_EXPOLINE to enable the use of the new -mindirect-branch= and
-mfunction_return= compiler options to create a kernel fortified against
the specte v2 attack.

With CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y all indirect branches will be issued with an
execute type instruction. For z10 or newer the EXRL instruction will
be used, for older machines the EX instruction. The typical indirect
call

	basr	%r14,%r1

is replaced with a PC relative call to a new thunk

	brasl	%r14,__s390x_indirect_jump_r1

The thunk contains the EXRL/EX instruction to the indirect branch

__s390x_indirect_jump_r1:
	exrl	0,0f
	j	.
0:	br	%r1

The detour via the execute type instruction has a performance impact.
To get rid of the detour the new kernel parameter "nospectre_v2" and
"spectre_v2=[on,off,auto]" can be used. If the parameter is specified
the kernel and module code will be patched at runtime.

Define TIF_ISOLATE_BP and TIF_ISOLATE_BP_GUEST and add the necessary
plumbing in entry.S to be able to run user space and KVM guests with
limited branch prediction.

To switch a user space process to limited branch prediction the
s390_isolate_bp() function has to be call, and to run a vCPU of a KVM
guest associated with the current task with limited branch prediction
call s390_isolate_bp_guest().

Add the PPA instruction to the system entry and exit path to switch
the kernel to a different branch prediction behaviour. The instructions
are added via CPU alternatives and can be disabled with the "nospec"
or the "nobp=0" kernel parameter. If the default behaviour selected
with CONFIG_KERNEL_NOBP is set to "n" then the "nobp=1" parameter can be
used to enable the changed kernel branch prediction.

The man page for the s390_runtime_instr() system call refers to a
header file that was never exported. Therefore it's time to finally
provide the header file, and move large parts of the runtime

Commit 2a842acab109 ("block: introduce new block status code type")
added blk_status_t usage to the eadm subchannel driver. However
blk_status_t is unknown when included via &lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; for CONFIG_BLOCK=n.

Only include &lt;linux/blk_types.h&gt; since this is the only dependency eadm has.

This fixes build failures like below:
In file included from drivers/s390/cio/eadm_sch.c:24:0:
./arch/s390/include/asm/eadm.h:111:4: error: unknown type name 'blk_status_t'; did you mean 'si_status'?

blk_status_t is unknown when included via &lt;linux/blkdev.h&gt; for CONFIG_BLOCK=n.

Only include &lt;linux/blk_types.h&gt; since this is the only dependency eadm has.

This fixes build failures like below:
In file included from drivers/s390/cio/eadm_sch.c:24:0:
./arch/s390/include/asm/eadm.h:111:4: error: unknown type name 'blk_status_t'; did you mean 'si_status'?
    blk_status_t error);
