s390: Remove 2k vs 4k page table leftovers

2025-03-18T16:13:05+00:00

Since commit d08d4e7cd6bf ("s390/mm: use full 4KB page for 2KB PTE") always
4k page tables are allocated, however there is still some (now) obsolete
code left which deals with switching from 2k to 4k page tables for qemu/kvm
processes.

s390/syscall: Merge __do_syscall() and do_syscall()

2025-03-18T16:13:04+00:00

The compiler inlines do_syscall() into __do_syscall(). Therefore do this in
C code as well, since this makes the code easier to understand.

Also adjust and add various unlikely() and likely() annotations.

Furthermore this allows to replace the separate exit_to_user_mode() and
syscall_exit_to_user_mode_work() calls with a combined
syscall_exit_to_user_mode() call which results in slightly better code.

s390/bear: Convert cpu_has_bear() to cpu feature function

2025-03-04T16:18:07+00:00

Get rid of the cpu_has_bear jump label and convert cpu_has_bear() to a cpu
feature function using test_facility() and with that use a static branch.

Merge tag 's390-6.11-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux

2024-07-18T22:41:45+00:00

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Remove restrictions on PAI NNPA and crypto counters, enabling
   concurrent per-task and system-wide sampling and counting events

 - Switch to GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES by setting up the CPU present mask in
   the architecture code and letting the generic code handle CPU
   bring-up

 - Add support for the diag204 busy indication facility to prevent
   undesirable blocking during hypervisor logical CPU utilization
   queries. Implement results caching

 - Improve the handling of Store Data SCLP events by suppressing
   unnecessary warning, preventing buffer release in I/O during
   failures, and adding timeout handling for Store Data requests to
   address potential firmware issues

 - Provide optimized __arch_hweight*() implementations

 - Remove the unnecessary CPU KOBJ_CHANGE uevents generated during
   topology updates, as they are unused and also not present on other
   architectures

 - Cleanup atomic_ops, optimize __atomic_set() for small values and
   __atomic_cmpxchg_bool() for compilers supporting flag output
   constraint

 - Couple of cleanups for KVM:
     - Move and improve KVM struct definitions for DAT tables from
       gaccess.c to a new header
     - Pass the asce as parameter to sie64a()

 - Make the crdte() and cspg() page table handling wrappers return a
   boolean to indicate success, like the other existing "compare and
   swap" wrappers

 - Add documentation for HWCAP flags

 - Switch to obtaining total RAM pages from memblock instead of
   totalram_pages() during mm init, to ensure correct calculation of
   zero page size, when defer_init is enabled

 - Refactor lowcore access and switch to using the get_lowcore()
   function instead of the S390_lowcore macro

 - Cleanups for PG_arch_1 and folio handling in UV and hugetlb code

 - Add missing MODULE_DESCRIPTION() macros

 - Fix VM_FAULT_HWPOISON handling in do_exception()

s390: remove native mmap2() syscall

2024-06-25T13:57:37+00:00

The mmap2() syscall has never been used on 64-bit s390x and should
have been removed as part of 5a79859ae0f3 ("s390: remove 31 bit
support").

Remove it now.

s390: add support for BEAR enhancement facility

2021-10-26T13:21:29+00:00

The Breaking-Event-Address-Register (BEAR) stores the address of the
last breaking event instruction. Breaking events are usually instructions
that change the program flow - for example branches, and instructions
that modify the address in the PSW like lpswe. This is useful for debugging
wild branches, because one could easily figure out where the wild branch
was originating from.

What is problematic is that lpswe is considered a breaking event, and
therefore overwrites BEAR on kernel exit. The BEAR enhancement facility
adds new instructions that allow to save/restore BEAR and also an lpswey
instruction that doesn't cause a breaking event. So we can save BEAR on
kernel entry and restore it on exit to user space.

s390: rename PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART to PIF_EXECVE_PGSTE_RESTART

2021-07-08T20:12:17+00:00

PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART is now only used to restart execve when loading
PGSTE binaries. Rename the flag to reflect that, and avoid people
thinking that this bit has anything to do with generic syscall
restarting.

s390: move restart of execve() syscall

2021-07-08T20:12:17+00:00

On s390, execve might have to be restarted for PGSTE binaries
like kvm. In the past this was done via the PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART
bit. However, with the recent changes, syscalls are now restarted
differently. Now that execve() is the only call that might get
restarted via PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART, move the loop to do_syscall().
This also has the advantage that the restart is no longer visible
to userspace.

s390/signal: remove sigreturn on stack

2021-07-08T20:12:17+00:00

{rt_}sigreturn is now called from the vdso, so we no longer
need the svc on the stack, and therefore no hack to support that
mechanism on machines with non-executable stack.
