The previous code used the normal kernel stack for machine checks.
This is problematic when a machine check interrupts a system call
or interrupt handler right at the beginning where registers are set up.
Assume system_call is interrupted at the first instruction and a machine
check is triggered. The machine check handler is called, checks the PSW
to see whether it is coming from user space, notices that it is already
in kernel mode but %r15 still contains the user space stack. This would
lead to a kernel crash.
There are basically two ways of fixing that: Either using the 'critical
cleanup' approach which compares the address in the PSW to see whether
it is already at a point where the stack has been set up, or use an extra
stack for the machine check handler.
For simplicity, we will go with the second approach and allocate an extra
stack. This adds some memory overhead for large systems, but usually large
system have plenty of memory so this isn't really a concern. But it keeps
the mchk stack setup simple and less error prone.

This patch converts s390 to use the generic entry infrastructure from
kernel/entry/*.
There are a few special things on s390:
- PIF_PER_TRAP is moved to TIF_PER_TRAP as the generic code doesn't
know about our PIF flags in exit_to_user_mode_loop().
- The old code had several ways to restart syscalls:
a) PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART, which was only set during execve to force a
restart after upgrading a process (usually qemu-kvm) to pgste page
table extensions.
b) PIF_SYSCALL, which is set by do_signal() to indicate that the
current syscall should be restarted. This is changed so that
do_signal() now also uses PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART. Continuing to use
PIF_SYSCALL doesn't work with the generic code, and changing it
to PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART makes PIF_SYSCALL and PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART
more unique.
- On s390 calling sys_sigreturn or sys_rt_sigreturn is implemented by
executing a svc instruction on the process stack which causes a fault.
While handling that fault the fault code sets PIF_SYSCALL to hand over
processing to the syscall code on exit to usermode.
The patch introduces PIF_SYSCALL_RET_SET, which is set if ptrace sets
a return value for a syscall. The s390x ptrace ABI uses r2 both for the
syscall number and return value, so ptrace cannot set the syscall number +
return value at the same time. The flag makes handling that a bit easier.
do_syscall() will just skip executing the syscall if PIF_SYSCALL_RET_SET
is set.
CONFIG_DEBUG_ASCE was removd in favour of the generic CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY.
CR1/7/13 will be checked both on kernel entry and exit to contain the
correct asces.

Remove set_fs support from s390. With doing this rework address space
handling and simplify it. As a result address spaces are now setup
like this:
CPU running in | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE | %cr13 ASCE
----------------------------|-----------|-----------|-----------
user space | user | user | kernel
kernel, normal execution | kernel | user | kernel
kernel, kvm guest execution | gmap | user | kernel
To achieve this the getcpu vdso syscall is removed in order to avoid
secondary address mode and a separate vdso address space in for user
space. The getcpu vdso syscall will be implemented differently with a
subsequent patch.
The kernel accesses user space always via secondary address space.
This happens in different ways:
- with mvcos in home space mode and directly read/write to secondary
address space
- with mvcs/mvcp in primary space mode and copy from primary space to
secondary space or vice versa
- with e.g. cs in secondary space mode and access secondary space
Switching translation modes happens with sacf before and after
instructions which access user space, like before.
Lazy handling of control register reloading is removed in the hope to
make everything simpler, but at the cost of making kernel entry and
exit a bit slower. That is: on kernel entry the primary asce is always
changed to contain the kernel asce, and on kernel exit the primary
asce is changed again so it contains the user asce.
In kernel mode there is only one exception to the primary asce: when
kvm guests are executed the primary asce contains the gmap asce (which
describes the guest address space). The primary asce is reset to
kernel asce whenever kvm guest execution is interrupted, so that this
doesn't has to be taken into account for any user space accesses.

We need to disable interrupts in load_fpu_regs(). Otherwise an
interrupt might come in after the registers are loaded, but before
CIF_FPU is cleared in load_fpu_regs(). When the interrupt returns,
CIF_FPU will be cleared and the registers will never be restored.
The entry.S code usually saves the interrupt state in __SF_EMPTY on the
stack when disabling/restoring interrupts. sie64a however saves the pointer
to the sie control block in __SF_SIE_CONTROL, which references the same
location. This is non-obvious to the reader. To avoid thrashing the sie
control block pointer in load_fpu_regs(), move the __SIE_* offsets eight
bytes after __SF_EMPTY on the stack.

Convert s390 to generic vDSO. There are a few special things on s390:
- vDSO can be called without a stack frame - glibc did this in the past.
So we need to allocate a stackframe on our own.
- The former assembly code used stcke to get the TOD clock and applied
time steering to it. We need to do the same in the new code. This is done
in the architecture specific __arch_get_hw_counter function. The steering
information is stored in an architecure specific area in the vDSO data.
- CPUCLOCK_VIRT is now handled with a syscall fallback, which might
be slower/less accurate than the old implementation.
The getcpu() function stays as an assembly function because there is no
generic implementation and the code is just a few lines.
Performance number from my system do 100 mio gettimeofday() calls:
Plain syscall: 8.6s
Generic VDSO: 1.3s
old ASM VDSO: 1s
So it's a bit slower but still much faster than syscalls.

When userspace executes a syscall or gets interrupted,
BEAR contains a kernel address when returning to userspace.
This make it pretty easy to figure out where the kernel is
mapped even with KASLR enabled. To fix this, add lpswe to
lowcore and always execute it there, so userspace sees only
the lowcore address of lpswe. For this we have to extend
both critical_cleanup and the SWITCH_ASYNC macro to also check
for lpswe addresses in lowcore.

With virtually mapped kernel stacks the kernel stack overflow detection
is now fault based, every stack has a guard page in the vmalloc space.
The panic_stack is renamed to nodat_stack and is used for all function
that need to run without DAT, e.g. memcpy_real or do_start_kdump.
The main effect is a reduction in the kernel image size as with vmap
stacks the old style overflow checking that adds two instructions per
function is not needed anymore. Result from bloat-o-meter:
add/remove: 20/1 grow/shrink: 13/26854 up/down: 2198/-216240 (-214042)
In regard to performance the micro-benchmark for fork has a hit of a
few microseconds, allocating 4 pages in vmalloc space is more expensive
compare to an order-2 page allocation. But with real workload I could
not find a noticeable difference.

The return from the ftrace_stub, _mcount, ftrace_caller and
return_to_handler functions is done with "br %r14" and "br %r1".
These are indirect branches as well and need to use execute
trampolines for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.
The ftrace_caller function is a special case as it returns to the
start of a function and may only use %r0 and %r1. For a pre z10
machine the standard execute trampoline uses a LARL + EX to do
this, but this requires *two* registers in the range %r1..%r15.
To get around this the 'br %r1' located in the lowcore is used,
then the EX instruction does not need an address register.
But the lowcore trick may only be used for pre z14 machines,
with noexec=on the mapping for the first page may not contain
instructions. The solution for that is an ALTERNATIVE in the
expoline THUNK generated by 'GEN_BR_THUNK %r1' to switch to
EXRL, this relies on the fact that a machine that supports
noexec=on has EXRL as well.

The vdso code for the getcpu() and the clock_gettime() call use the access
register mode to access the per-CPU vdso data page with the current code.
An alternative to the complicated AR mode is to use the secondary space
mode. This makes the vdso faster and quite a bit simpler. The downside is
that the uaccess code has to be changed quite a bit.
Which instructions are used depends on the machine and what kind of uaccess
operation is requested. The instruction dictates which ASCE value needs
to be loaded into %cr1 and %cr7.
The different cases:
* User copy with MVCOS for z10 and newer machines
The MVCOS instruction can copy between the primary space (aka user) and
the home space (aka kernel) directly. For set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the kernel
ASCE is loaded into %cr1. For set_fs(USER_DS) the user space is already
loaded in %cr1.
* User copy with MVCP/MVCS for older machines
To be able to execute the MVCP/MVCS instructions the kernel needs to
switch to primary mode. The control register %cr1 has to be set to the
kernel ASCE and %cr7 to either the kernel ASCE or the user ASCE dependent
on set_fs(KERNEL_DS) vs set_fs(USER_DS).
* Data access in the user address space for strnlen / futex
To use "normal" instruction with data from the user address space the
secondary space mode is used. The kernel needs to switch to primary mode,
%cr1 has to contain the kernel ASCE and %cr7 either the user ASCE or the
kernel ASCE, dependent on set_fs.
To load a new value into %cr1 or %cr7 is an expensive operation, the kernel
tries to be lazy about it. E.g. for multiple user copies in a row with
MVCP/MVCS the replacement of the vdso ASCE in %cr7 with the user ASCE is
done only once. On return to user space a CPU bit is checked that loads the
vdso ASCE again.
To enable and disable the data access via the secondary space two new
functions are added, enable_sacf_uaccess and disable_sacf_uaccess. The fact
that a context is in secondary space uaccess mode is stored in the
mm_segment_t value for the task. The code of an interrupt may use set_fs
as long as it returns to the previous state it got with get_fs with another
call to set_fs. The code in finish_arch_post_lock_switch simply has to do a
set_fs with the current mm_segment_t value for the task.
For CPUs with MVCOS:
CPU running in | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE |
--------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
user space | user | vdso |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode | user | vdso |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode, lazy | user | user |
kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode | kernel | user |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode | kernel | vdso |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode, lazy | kernel | kernel |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode | kernel | kernel |
For CPUs without MVCOS:
CPU running in | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE |
--------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
user space | user | vdso |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode | user | vdso |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode lazy | kernel | user |
kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode | kernel | user |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode | kernel | vdso |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode, lazy | kernel | kernel |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode | kernel | kernel |
The lines with "lazy" refer to the state after a copy via the secondary
space with a delayed reload of %cr1 and %cr7.
There are three hardware address spaces that can cause a DAT exception,
primary, secondary and home space. The exception can be related to
four different fault types: user space fault, vdso fault, kernel fault,
and the gmap faults.
Dependent on the set_fs state and normal vs. sacf mode there are a number
of fault combinations:
1) user address space fault via the primary ASCE
2) gmap address space fault via the primary ASCE
3) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for machines with
MVCOS and set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
4) vdso address space faults via the secondary ASCE with an invalid
address while running in secondary space in problem state
5) user address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy
based on the secondary space mode, e.g. futex_ops or strnlen_user
6) kernel address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy
with secondary space mode with set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
7) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for user-copy
with secondary space mode with set_fs(USER_DS) on machines without
MVCOS.
8) kernel address space fault via the home space ASCE
Replace user_space_fault() with a new function get_fault_type() that
can distinguish all four different fault types.
With these changes the futex atomic ops from the kernel and the
strnlen_user will get a little bit slower, as well as the old style
uaccess with MVCP/MVCS. All user accesses based on MVCOS will be as
fast as before. On the positive side, the user space vdso code is a
lot faster and Linux ceases to use the complicated AR mode.

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The validation of the CPU registers in the machine check handler is
currently split into two parts. The first part is done at the start
of the low level mcck_int_handler function, this includes the CPU
timer register and the general purpose registers.
The second part is done a bit later in s390_do_machine_check for all
the other registers, including the control registers, floating pointer
control, vector or floating pointer registers, the access registers,
the guarded storage registers, the TOD programmable registers and the
clock comparator.
This is working fine to far but in theory a future extensions could
cause the C code to use registers that are not validated yet. A better
approach is to validate all CPU registers in "safe" assembler code
before any C function is called.

The TOD epoch extension adds 8 epoch bits to the TOD clock to provide
a continuous clock after 2042/09/17. The store-clock-extended (STCKE)
instruction will store the epoch index in the first byte of the
16 bytes stored by the instruction. The read_boot_clock64 and the
read_presistent_clock64 functions need to take the additional bits
into account to give the correct result after 2042/09/17.
The clock-comparator register will stay 64 bit wide. The comparison
of the clock-comparator with the TOD clock is limited to bytes
1 to 8 of the extended TOD format. To deal with the overflow problem
due to an epoch change the clock-comparator sign control in CR0 can
be used to switch the comparison of the 64-bit TOD clock with the
clock-comparator to a signed comparison.
The decision between the signed vs. unsigned clock-comparator
comparisons is done at boot time. Only if the TOD clock is in the
second half of a 142 year epoch the signed comparison is used.
This solves the epoch overflow issue as long as the machine is
booted at least once in an epoch.

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.

This is currently no problem, since we only care about one double

the current code is not very stable.
E.g. before issuing the stfle command the memory to which it stores

Improve the save and restore behavior of FPU register contents to use the
vector extension within the kernel.
The kernel does not use floating-point or vector registers and, therefore,
saving and restoring the FPU register contents are performed for handling
signals or switching processes only. To prepare for using vector
instructions and vector registers within the kernel, enhance the save
behavior and implement a lazy restore at return to user space from a
system call or interrupt.
To implement the lazy restore, the save_fpu_regs() sets a CPU information
flag, CIF_FPU, to indicate that the FPU registers must be restored.
Saving and setting CIF_FPU is performed in an atomic fashion to be
interrupt-safe. When the kernel wants to use the vector extension or
wants to change the FPU register state for a task during signal handling,
the save_fpu_regs() must be called first. The CIF_FPU flag is also set at
process switch. At return to user space, the FPU state is restored. In
particular, the FPU state includes the floating-point or vector register
contents, as well as, vector-enablement and floating-point control. The
FPU state restore and clearing CIF_FPU is also performed in an atomic
fashion.
For KVM, the restore of the FPU register state is performed when restoring
the general-purpose guest registers before the SIE instructions is started.
Because the path towards the SIE instruction is interruptible, the CIF_FPU
flag must be checked again right before going into SIE. If set, the guest
registers must be reloaded again by re-entering the outer SIE loop. This
is the same behavior as if the SIE critical section is interrupted.

If the function tracer is enabled, allow to set kprobes on the first
instruction of a function (which is the function trace caller):
If no kprobe is set handling of enabling and disabling function tracing
of a function simply patches the first instruction. Either it is a nop
(right now it's an unconditional branch, which skips the mcount block),
or it's a branch to the ftrace_caller() function.
If a kprobe is being placed on a function tracer calling instruction
we encode if we actually have a nop or branch in the remaining bytes
after the breakpoint instruction (illegal opcode).
This is possible, since the size of the instruction used for the nop
and branch is six bytes, while the size of the breakpoint is only
two bytes.
Therefore the first two bytes contain the illegal opcode and the last
four bytes contain either "0" for nop or "1" for branch. The kprobes
code will then execute/simulate the correct instruction.
Instruction patching for kprobes and function tracer is always done
with stop_machine(). Therefore we don't have any races where an
instruction is patched concurrently on a different cpu.
Besides that also the program check handler which executes the function
trace caller instruction won't be executed concurrently to any
stop_machine() execution.
This allows to keep full fault based kprobes handling which generates
correct pt_regs contents automatically.
