s390/debugfs: introduce top-level 's390' directory

2017-03-22T07:29:15+00:00

Introduce a top-level 's390' directory which should be used when
adding new s390 specific debug feature files and/or directories.

This makes hopefully sure that the contents of the s390 directory will
be a bit more structured. Right now we have a couple of top-level
files where it is not easy to tell to which subsystem they belong to.

s390/sysinfo: allow compiler warnings again

2017-03-22T07:29:08+00:00

Allow compiler warnings again for the sysinfo file. Compiler warnings
were disabled when the bogomips calculation with math-emu code was
introduced ("[S390] Calibrate delay and bogomips.").
Since that code is gone, we can enable warnings again.

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/sclp: move early printk code to drivers

2017-02-08T13:13:17+00:00

Move the early sclp printk code to the drivers folder where also the
rest of the sclp code can be found. This way it is possible to use the
sclp private header files for further cleanups.

s390: provide sclp based boot console

2017-01-16T06:27:55+00:00

Use the early sclp code to provide a boot console. This boot console
is available if the kernel parameter "earlyprintk" has been specified,
just like it works for other architectures that also provide an early
boot console.

This makes debugging of early problems much easier, since now we
finally have working console output even before memory detection is
running.

The boot console will be automatically disabled as soon as another
console will be registered.

s390: cleanup arch/s390/kernel Makefile

2016-12-12T11:11:26+00:00

Group all compiler flag modification lines together and sort them
alphabetically. This should hopefully prevent future bugs due to
missing flag modifications.
Also fix indentation at some places.

s390: exclude early C code from gcov profiling

2016-12-12T11:10:15+00:00

Early C code must be excluded from gcov profiling since it may write
to the bss section before
- a potential initrd that resides there is rescued
- the bss section is initialized (zeroed)

This patch only addresses the problem that early code is instrumented
for profiling, but not the problem that it jumps into other code that
is still instrumented. That problem will be fixed with a follow-on
patch.

Merge branch 'kbuild' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mmarek/kbuild

2016-10-14T21:26:58+00:00

Pull kbuild updates from Michal Marek:

 - EXPORT_SYMBOL for asm source by Al Viro.

   This does bring a regression, because genksyms no longer generates
   checksums for these symbols (CONFIG_MODVERSIONS). Nick Piggin is
   working on a patch to fix this.

   Plus, we are talking about functions like strcpy(), which rarely
   change prototypes.

 - Fixes for PPC fallout of the above by Stephen Rothwell and Nick
   Piggin

 - fixdep speedup by Alexey Dobriyan.

 - preparatory work by Nick Piggin to allow architectures to build with
   -ffunction-sections, -fdata-sections and --gc-sections

 - CONFIG_THIN_ARCHIVES support by Stephen Rothwell

 - fix for filenames with colons in the initramfs source by me.

s390: enable UBSAN

2016-09-20T12:26:23+00:00

This enables UBSAN for s390. We have to disable the null sanitizer
as s390 code does access memory via a null pointer (the prefix page).
