[ Upstream commit 2416cefc504ba8ae9b17e3e6b40afc72708f96be ]

Unlike pxd_free_tlb(), the pxd_free() functions do not check for folded
page tables. This is not an issue so far, as those functions will actually
never be called, since no code will reach them when page tables are folded.

In order to avoid future issues, and to make the s390 code more similar to
other architectures, add mm_pxd_folded() checks, similar to how it is done
in pxd_free_tlb().

This was found by testing a patch from from Anshuman Khandual, which is
currently discussed on LKML ("mm/debug: Add tests validating architecture
page table helpers").

<title>License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license</title>

<content type='text'>
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 &amp; 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 &gt;5
   lines of source
 - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if &lt;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.

<content type='text'>
Add various defines like e.g. _REGION1_SHIFT to reflect the hardware
mmu. We have quite a bit code that does not make use of the Linux
memory management primitives but directly modifies page, segment and
region values.

Most of this is open-coded like e.g. "1UL &lt;&lt; 53". In order to clean
this up introduce a couple of new defines. The existing Linux memory
management defines are changed, so the mapping to the hardware
implementation is reflected.

<title>s390: Remove VLAIS in ptff() and clear_table()</title>
<updated>2016-12-07T06:22:30Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=11a247e376669323b0d9f56fbdb5c163c6310112'/>
<id>urn:sha1:11a247e376669323b0d9f56fbdb5c163c6310112</id>
<content type='text'>
The ptff() and clear_table() functions use the gcc extension "variable
length arrays in structures" (VLAIS) to define in the inline assembler
constraints the area of the clobbered memory. This extension will most
likely never be supported by LLVM/Clang.

Since currently BPF programs are compiled with LLVM, this leads to the
following compile errors:

 $ cd samples/bpf
 $ make

 In file included from /root/linux-master/samples/bpf/tracex1_kern.c:8:
 In file included from ./include/linux/netdevice.h:44:
 ...
 In file included from ./arch/s390/include/asm/mmu_context.h:10:
  ./arch/s390/include/asm/pgalloc.h:30:24: error: fields must have a
  constant size: 'variable length array in structure' extension will never
  be supported
         typedef struct { char _[n]; } addrtype;

  constant size: 'variable length array in structure' extension will never
  be supported
        typedef struct { char _[len]; } addrtype;

To fix this do the following:

 - Convert ptff() into a macro that then uses a fixed size array
   when expanded.
 - Convert the clear_table() function and use an inline assembly
   with fixed size array in a loop.
   The runtime performance of the new version is even better than
   the old version (tested with EC12/z13 and gcc 4.8.5/6.2.1 with
   "-march=z196 -O2").

<title>s390/mm: add shadow gmap support</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4be130a08420d6918d80c1067f8078f425eb98df</id>
<content type='text'>
For a nested KVM guest the outer KVM host needs to create shadow
page tables for the nested guest. This patch adds the basic support
to the guest address space (gmap) code.

For each guest address space the inner KVM host creates, the first
outer KVM host needs to create shadow page tables. The address space
is identified by the ASCE loaded into the control register 1 at the
time the inner SIE instruction for the second nested KVM guest is
executed. The outer KVM host creates the shadow tables starting with
the table identified by the ASCE on a on-demand basis. The outer KVM
host will get repeated faults for all the shadow tables needed to
run the second KVM guest.

While a shadow page table for the second KVM guest is active the access
to the origin region, segment and page tables needs to be restricted
for the first KVM guest. For region and segment and page tables the first
KVM guest may read the memory, but write attempt has to lead to an
unshadow.  This is done using the page invalid and read-only bits in the
page table of the first KVM guest. If the first guest re-accesses one of
the origin pages of a shadow, it gets a fault and the affected parts of
the shadow page table hierarchy needs to be removed again.

PGSTE tables don't have to be shadowed, as all interpretation assist can't
deal with the invalid bits in the shadow pte being set differently than
the original ones provided by the first KVM guest.

Many bug fixes and improvements by David Hildenbrand.

<title>s390/mm: fix asce_bits handling with dynamic pagetable levels</title>

<id>urn:sha1:723cacbd9dc79582e562c123a0bacf8bfc69e72a</id>
<content type='text'>
There is a race with multi-threaded applications between context switch and
pagetable upgrade. In switch_mm() a new user_asce is built from mm-&gt;pgd and
mm-&gt;context.asce_bits, w/o holding any locks. A concurrent mmap with a
pagetable upgrade on another thread in crst_table_upgrade() could already
have set new asce_bits, but not yet the new mm-&gt;pgd. This would result in a
corrupt user_asce in switch_mm(), and eventually in a kernel panic from a
translation exception.

Fix this by storing the complete asce instead of just the asce_bits, which
can then be read atomically from switch_mm(), so that it either sees the
old value or the new value, but no mixture. Both cases are OK. Having the
old value would result in a page fault on access to the higher level memory,
but the fault handler would see the new mm-&gt;pgd, if it was a valid access
after the mmap on the other thread has completed. So as worst-case scenario
we would have a page fault loop for the racing thread until the next time
slice.

Also remove dead code and simplify the upgrade/downgrade path, there are no
upgrades from 2 levels, and only downgrades from 3 levels for compat tasks.
There are also no concurrent upgrades, because the mmap_sem is held with
down_write() in do_mmap, so the flush and table checks during upgrade can
be removed.
