s390: KVM preparation: address of the 64bit extint parm in lowcore

2008-04-27T09:00:41+00:00

The address 0x11b8 is used by z/VM for pfault and diag 250 I/O to
provide a 64 bit extint parameter. virtio uses the same address, so
its time to update the lowcore structure.

[S390] kernel: show last breaking-event-address on oops

2008-04-17T05:47:07+00:00

Newer s390 models have a breaking-event-address-recording register.
Each time an instruction causes a break in the sequential instruction
execution, the address is saved in that hardware register. On a program
interrupt the address is copied to the lowcore address 272-279, which
makes it software accessible.

This patch changes the program check handler and the stack overflow
checker to copy the value into the pt_regs argument.
The oops output is enhanced to show the last known breaking address.
It might give additional information if the stack trace is corrupted.

The feature is only available on 64 bit.

The new oops output looks like:

[S390] Convert s390 to GENERIC_CLOCKEVENTS.

2008-04-17T05:47:05+00:00

This way we get rid of s390's NO_IDLE_HZ and use the generic dynticks
variant instead. In addition we get high resolution timers for free.

[S390] zfcpdump support.

2007-04-27T14:01:44+00:00

s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI
disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first
32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is
booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from
Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to
userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to
Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

[S390] noexec protection

2007-02-05T20:18:17+00:00

This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does
not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a
different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing
mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data.

As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate
page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses
(storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is
used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the
data addresses.
The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer
in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that
contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really
private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU
list).
Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into
both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of
a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the
data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a
page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV
with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn)
and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the
kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return
mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the
exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored
behind the signal stack frame.

This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space
mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing
modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works
for user space.
After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs
instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new
mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows
to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the
page tables need to be walked manually.

[S390] Reset infrastructure for re-IPL.

2006-12-04T14:40:26+00:00

In case of re-IPL and diag308 doesn't work we have to reset all devices
manually and wait synchronously that each reset finished.
This patch adds the necessary infrastucture and the first exploiter of it.

Subsystems that need to add a function that needs to be called at re-IPL
may register/unregister this function via

struct reset_call {
	struct reset_call *next;
	void (*fn)(void);
};

void register_reset_call(struct reset_call *reset);
void unregister_reset_call(struct reset_call *reset);

When the registered function get called the context is:

- all cpus beside the current one are stopped
- all machine checks and interrupts are disabled
- prefixing is disabled
- a default machine check handler is available for use

The registered functions may not take any locks are sleep.

For the common I/O layer part of this patch:

Introduce a reset_call css_reset that does the following:
- clear all subchannels
- perform a rchp on all channel paths and wait for the resulting
  machine checks
This replaces the calls to clear_all_subchannels() and
cio_reset_channel_paths() for kexec and ccw reipl. reipl_ccw_dev() now
uses reipl_find_schid() to determine the subchannel id for a given
device id.
Also remove cio_reset_channel_paths() and friends since they are not
needed anymore.

[S390] Inline assembly cleanup.

2006-09-28T14:56:43+00:00

Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common
coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register
asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps  as well. The atomic ops,
bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc
is used.  That results in slightly better code.

Thanks to Christian Borntraeger for proof reading the changes.
