[S390] Improve address space mode selection.

2009-12-07T11:51:33Z

Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values: 1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0 2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0 3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1 They get replaced by 1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE 2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE 3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets you choose the address space mode the user space processes should use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option is removed. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] fix recursive locking on page_table_lock

2009-09-11T08:29:53Z

Suzuki Poulose reported the following recursive locking bug on s390: Here is the stack trace : (see Appendix I for more info) [<0000000000406ed6>] _spin_lock+0x52/0x94 [<0000000000103bde>] crst_table_free+0x14e/0x1a4 [<00000000001ba684>] __pmd_alloc+0x114/0x1ec [<00000000001be8d0>] handle_mm_fault+0x2cc/0xb80 [<0000000000407d62>] do_dat_exception+0x2b6/0x3a0 [<0000000000114f8c>] sysc_return+0x0/0x8 [<00000200001642b2>] 0x200001642b2 The page_table_lock is already acquired in __pmd_alloc (mm/memory.c) and it tries to populate the pud/pgd with a new pmd allocated. If another thread populates it before we get a chance, we free the pmd using pmd_free(). On s390x, pmd_free(even pud_free ) is #defined to crst_table_free(), which acquires the page_table_lock to protect the crst_table index updates. Hence this ends up in a recursive locking of the page_table_lock. The solution suggested by Dave Hansen is to use a new spin lock in the mmu context to protect the access to the crst_list and the pgtable_list.
