s390/crashdump: move fill_cpu_elf_notes() prototype to header file

2012-09-26T13:45:22Z

Move fill_cpu_elf_notes() prototype to header file. This way we get compile errors if e.g. the number of function parameters get changed. Otherwise it's possible to change just the definition and everything else still compiles fine, but the result is broken code. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: add support for transactional memory

2012-09-26T13:45:02Z

Allow user-space processes to use transactional execution (TX). If the TX facility is available user space programs can use transactions for fine-grained serialization based on the data objects that are referenced during a transaction. This is useful for lockless data structures and speculative compiler optimizations. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/32: Don't clobber personality flags on exec

2012-08-30T14:28:07Z

In native 32 bit mode the personality flags were not correctly inherited. This is the s390 version of 59e4c3a2 "powerpc/32: Don't clobber personality flags on exec". Reported-by: Mike Frysinger Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names

2012-07-20T09:15:04Z

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless. Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly different statements and wanted to change them one after another whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template for new files. So unify all of them in one go. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

s390/headers: replace s390x with CONFIG_64BIT where possible

2012-05-24T08:10:10Z

Replace __s390x__ with CONFIG_64BIT in all places that are not exported to userspace or guarded with #ifdef __KERNEL__. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] Do not clobber personality flags on exec

2011-09-26T14:40:50Z

Analog to git commit 59e4c3a2fe9cb1681bb2cff508ff79466f7585ba do not clear the additional personality flags on exec. We need to inherit the personality bits in PER_MASK across exec. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] Remove data execution protection

2011-05-23T08:24:28Z

The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case. Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines. The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been used to fetch the instruction. This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current noexec support. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
