Pull more s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

 - Switch read and write software bits for PUDs

 - Add missing hardware bits for PUDs and PMDs

 - Generate unwind information for C modules to fix GDB unwind error for
   vDSO functions

 - Create .build-id links for unstripped vDSO files to enable vDSO
   debugging with symbols

 - Use standard stack frame layout for vDSO generated stack frames to
   manually walk stack frames without DWARF information

 - Rework perf_callchain_user() and arch_stack_walk_user() functions to
   reduce code duplication

 - Skip first stack frame when walking user stack

 - Add basic checks to identify invalid instruction pointers when
   walking stack frames

 - Introduce and use struct stack_frame_vdso_wrapper within vDSO user
   wrapper code to automatically generate an asm-offset define. Also use
   STACK_FRAME_USER_OVERHEAD instead of STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD to document
   that the code works with user space stack

 - Clear the backchain of the extra stack frame added by the vDSO user
   wrapper code. This allows the user stack walker to detect and skip
   the non-standard stack frame. Without this an incorrect instruction
   pointer would be added to stack traces.

 - Rewrite psw_idle() function in C to ease maintenance and further
   enhancements

 - Remove get_vtimer() function and use get_cpu_timer() instead

 - Mark psw variable in __load_psw_mask() as __unitialized to avoid
   superfluous clearing of PSW

 - Remove obsolete and superfluous comment about removed TIF_FPU flag

 - Replace memzero_explicit() and kfree() with kfree_sensitive() to fix
   warnings reported by Coccinelle

 - Wipe sensitive data and all copies of protected- or secure-keys from
   stack when an IOCTL fails

 - Both do_airq_interrupt() and do_io_interrupt() functions set
   CIF_NOHZ_DELAY flag. Move it in do_io_irq() to simplify the code

 - Provide iucv_alloc_device() and iucv_release_device() helpers, which
   can be used to deduplicate more or less identical IUCV device
   allocation and release code in four different drivers

 - Make use of iucv_alloc_device() and iucv_release_device() helpers to
   get rid of quite some code and also remove a cast to an incompatible
   function (clang W=1)

 - There is no user of iucv_root outside of the core IUCV code left.
   Therefore remove the EXPORT_SYMBOL

 - __apply_alternatives() contains a runtime check which verifies that
   the size of the to be patched code area is even. Convert this to a
   compile time check

 - Increase size of buffers for sending z/VM CP DIAGNOSE X'008' commands
   from 128 to 240

 - Do not accept z/VM CP DIAGNOSE X'008' commands longer than maximally
   allowed

 - Use correct defines IPL_BP_NVME_LEN and IPL_BP0_NVME_LEN instead of
   IPL_BP_FCP_LEN and IPL_BP0_FCP_LEN ones to initialize NVMe reIPL
   block on 'scp_data' sysfs attribute update

 - Initialize the correct fields of the NVMe dump block, which were
   confused with FCP fields

 - Refactor macros for 'scp_data' (re-)IPL sysfs attribute to reduce
   code duplication

 - Introduce 'scp_data' sysfs attribute for dump IPL to allow tools such
   as dumpconf passing additional kernel command line parameters to a
   stand-alone dumper

 - Rework the CPACF query functions to use the correct RRE or RRF
   instruction formats and set instruction register fields correctly

 - Instead of calling BUG() at runtime force a link error during compile
   when a unsupported opcode is used with __cpacf_query() or
   __cpacf_check_opcode() functions

 - Fix a crash in ap_parse_bitmap_str() function on /sys/bus/ap/apmask
   or /sys/bus/ap/aqmask sysfs file update with a relative mask value

 - Fix "bindings complete" udev event which should be sent once all AP
   devices have been bound to device drivers and again when unbind/bind
   actions take place and all AP devices are bound again

 - Facility list alt_stfle_fac_list is nowhere used in the decompressor,
   therefore remove it there

 - Remove custom kprobes insn slot allocator in favour of the standard
   module_alloc() one, since kernel image and module areas are located
   within 4GB

 - Use kvcalloc() instead of kvmalloc_array() in zcrypt driver to avoid
   calling memset() with a large byte count and get rid of the sparse
   warning as result

Add the table type and ACCF validity bits to _SEGMENT_ENTRY_BITS and
_SEGMENT_ENTRY_HARDWARE_BITS{,_LARGE}.

For completeness, introduce _REGION3_ENTRY_HARDWARE_BITS_LARGE and
_REGION3_ENTRY_HARDWARE_BITS, containing the hardware bits used for
large puds and normal puds.

<content type='text'>
There is no reason for the read and write softbits to be swapped in the
puds compared to pmds. They are different only because the softbits for
puds were introduced at the same time when the softbits for pmds were
swapped.

The current implementation is not wrong per se, since the macros are
defined correctly; only the documentation does not reflect reality.

With this patch, the read and write softbits for large pmd and large
puds will have the same layout, and will match the existing
documentation.

<content type='text'>
__split_huge_pmd_locked() can be called for a present THP, devmap or
(non-present) migration entry.  It calls pmdp_invalidate() unconditionally
on the pmdp and only determines if it is present or not based on the
returned old pmd.  This is a problem for the migration entry case because
pmd_mkinvalid(), called by pmdp_invalidate() must only be called for a
present pmd.

On arm64 at least, pmd_mkinvalid() will mark the pmd such that any future
call to pmd_present() will return true.  And therefore any lockless
pgtable walker could see the migration entry pmd in this state and start
interpretting the fields as if it were present, leading to BadThings (TM).
GUP-fast appears to be one such lockless pgtable walker.

x86 does not suffer the above problem, but instead pmd_mkinvalid() will
corrupt the offset field of the swap entry within the swap pte.  See link
below for discussion of that problem.

Fix all of this by only calling pmdp_invalidate() for a present pmd.  And
for good measure let's add a warning to all implementations of
pmdp_invalidate[_ad]().  I've manually reviewed all other
pmdp_invalidate[_ad]() call sites and believe all others to be conformant.

This is a theoretical bug found during code review.  I don't have any test
case to trigger it in practice.

<title>Merge branch 'shared-zeropage' into features</title>

David Hildenbrand says:

===================
This series fixes one issue with uffd + shared zeropages on s390x and
fixes that "ordinary" KVM guests can make use of shared zeropages again.

userfaultfd could currently end up mapping shared zeropages into processes
that forbid shared zeropages. This only apples to s390x, relevant for
handling PV guests and guests that use storage kets correctly. Fix it
by placing a zeroed folio instead of the shared zeropage during
UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE instead.

I stumbled over this issue while looking into a customer scenario that
is using:

(1) Memory ballooning for dynamic resizing. Start a VM with, say, 100 GiB
    and inflate the balloon during boot to 60 GiB. The VM has ~40 GiB
    available and additional memory can be "fake hotplugged" to the VM
    later on demand by deflating the balloon. Actual memory overcommit is
    not desired, so physical memory would only be moved between VMs.

(2) Live migration of VMs between sites to evacuate servers in case of
    emergency.

Without the shared zeropage, during (2), the VM would suddenly consume
100 GiB on the migration source and destination. On the migration source,
where we don't excpect memory overcommit, we could easilt end up crashing
the VM during migration.

Independent of that, memory handed back to the hypervisor using "free page
reporting" would end up consuming actual memory after the migration on the
destination, not getting freed up until reused+freed again.

While there might be ways to optimize parts of this in QEMU, we really
should just support the shared zeropage again for ordinary VMs.

We only expect legcy guests to make use of storage keys, so let's handle
zeropages again when enabling storage keys or when enabling PV. To not
break userfaultfd like we did in the past, don't zap the shared zeropages,
but instead trigger unsharing faults, just like we do for unsharing
KSM pages in break_ksm().

Unsharing faults will simply replace the shared zeropage by a zeroed
anonymous folio. We can already trigger the same fault path using GUP,
when trying to long-term pin a shared zeropage, but also when unmerging
a KSM-placed zeropages, so this is nothing new.

Patch #1 tested on 86-64 by forcing mm_forbids_zeropage() to be 1, and
running the uffd selftests.

Patch #2 tested on s390x: the live migration scenario now works as
expected, and kvm-unit-tests that trigger usage of skeys work well, whereby
I can see detection and unsharing of shared zeropages.

Further (as broken in v2), I tested that the shared zeropage is no
longer populated after skeys are used -- that mm_forbids_zeropage() works
as expected:
  ./s390x-run s390x/skey.elf \
   -no-shutdown \
   -chardev socket,id=monitor,path=/var/tmp/mon,server,nowait \
   -mon chardev=monitor,mode=readline

  Then, in another shell:

  # cat /proc/`pgrep qemu`/smaps_rollup | grep Rss
  Rss:               31484 kB
  #  echo "dump-guest-memory tmp" | sudo nc -U /var/tmp/mon
  ...
  # cat /proc/`pgrep qemu`/smaps_rollup | grep Rss
  Rss:              160452 kB

  -&gt; Reading guest memory does not populate the shared zeropage

  Doing the same with selftest.elf (no skeys)

  # cat /proc/`pgrep qemu`/smaps_rollup | grep Rss
  Rss:               30900 kB
  #  echo "dump-guest-memory tmp" | sudo nc -U /var/tmp/mon
  ...
  # cat /proc/`pgrep qemu`/smaps_rollup | grep Rsstmp/mon
  Rss:               30924 kB

  -&gt; Reading guest memory does populate the shared zeropage

<title>mm/arch: provide pud_pfn() fallback</title>

The comment in the code explains the reasons.  We took a different
approach comparing to pmd_pfn() by providing a fallback function.

Another option is to provide some lower level config options (compare to
HUGETLB_PAGE or THP) to identify which layer an arch can support for such
huge mappings.  However that can be an overkill.

<title>s390/mm: Re-enable the shared zeropage for !PV and !skeys KVM guests</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=06201e00ee3e4beacac48aab2b83eff64ebf0bc0'/>
<id>urn:sha1:06201e00ee3e4beacac48aab2b83eff64ebf0bc0</id>
<content type='text'>
commit fa41ba0d08de ("s390/mm: avoid empty zero pages for KVM guests to
avoid postcopy hangs") introduced an undesired side effect when combined
with memory ballooning and VM migration: memory part of the inflated
memory balloon will consume memory.

Assuming we have a 100GiB VM and inflated the balloon to 40GiB. Our VM
will consume ~60GiB of memory. If we now trigger a VM migration,
hypervisors like QEMU will read all VM memory. As s390x does not support
the shared zeropage, we'll end up allocating for all previously-inflated
memory part of the memory balloon: 50 GiB. So we might easily
(unexpectedly) crash the VM on the migration source.

Even worse, hypervisors like QEMU optimize for zeropage migration to not
consume memory on the migration destination: when migrating a
"page full of zeroes", on the migration destination they check whether the
target memory is already zero (by reading the destination memory) and avoid
writing to the memory to not allocate memory: however, s390x will also
allocate memory here, implying that also on the migration destination, we
will end up allocating all previously-inflated memory part of the memory
balloon.

This is especially bad if actual memory overcommit was not desired, when
memory ballooning is used for dynamic VM memory resizing, setting aside
some memory during boot that can be added later on demand. Alternatives
like virtio-mem that would avoid this issue are not yet available on
s390x.

There could be ways to optimize some cases in user space: before reading
memory in an anonymous private mapping on the migration source, check via
/proc/self/pagemap if anything is already populated. Similarly check on
the migration destination before reading. While that would avoid
populating tables full of shared zeropages on all architectures, it's
harder to get right and performant, and requires user space changes.

Further, with posctopy live migration we must place a page, so there,
"avoid touching memory to avoid allocating memory" is not really
possible. (Note that a previously we would have falsely inserted
shared zeropages into processes using UFFDIO_ZEROPAGE where
mm_forbids_zeropage() would have actually forbidden it)

PV is currently incompatible with memory ballooning, and in the common
case, KVM guests don't make use of storage keys. Instead of zapping
zeropages when enabling storage keys / PV, that turned out to be
problematic in the past, let's do exactly the same we do with KSM pages:
trigger unsharing faults to replace the shared zeropages by proper
anonymous folios.

What about added latency when enabling storage kes? Having a lot of
zeropages in applicable environments (PV, legacy guests, unittests) is
unexpected. Further, KSM could today already unshare the zeropages
and unmerging KSM pages when enabling storage kets would unshare the
KSM-placed zeropages in the same way, resulting in the same latency.

<title>s390/mm: Uncouple physical vs virtual address spaces</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=c98d2ecae08f02bd2dccd24e7e485e9f0211db65'/>
<id>urn:sha1:c98d2ecae08f02bd2dccd24e7e485e9f0211db65</id>
<content type='text'>
The uncoupling physical vs virtual address spaces brings
the following benefits to s390:

- virtual memory layout flexibility;
- closes the address gap between kernel and modules, it
  caused s390-only problems in the past (e.g. 'perf' bugs);
- allows getting rid of trampolines used for module calls
  into kernel;
- allows simplifying BPF trampoline;
- minor performance improvement in branch prediction;
- kernel randomization entropy is magnitude bigger, as it is
  derived from the amount of available virtual, not physical
  memory;

The whole change could be described in two pictures below:
before and after the change.

Some aspects of the virtual memory layout setup are not
clarified (number of page levels, alignment, DMA memory),
since these are not a part of this change or secondary
with regard to how the uncoupling itself is implemented.

The focus of the pictures is to explain why __va() and __pa()
macros are implemented the way they are.

Unused gaps in the virtual memory layout could be present
or not - depending on how partucular system is configured.
No page tables are created for the unused gaps.

The relative order of vmalloc, modules and kernel image in
virtual memory is defined by following considerations:

- start of the modules area and end of the kernel should reside
  within 4GB to accommodate relative 32-bit jumps. The best way
  to achieve that is to place kernel next to modules;

- vmalloc and module areas should locate next to each other
  to prevent failures and extra reworks in user level tools
  (makedumpfile, crash, etc.) which treat vmalloc and module
  addresses similarily;

- kernel needs to be the last area in the virtual memory
  layout to easily distinguish between kernel and non-kernel
  virtual addresses. That is needed to (again) simplify
  handling of addresses in user level tools and make __pa()
  macro faster (see below);

Concluding the above, the relative order of the considered
virtual areas in memory is: vmalloc - modules - kernel.
Therefore, the only change to the current memory layout is
moving kernel to the end of virtual address space.

With that approach the implementation of __pa() macro is
straightforward - all linear virtual addresses less than
kernel base are considered identity mapping:

	phys == virt - __identity_base

All addresses greater than kernel base are kernel ones:

	phys == (kvirt - __kaslr_offset) + __kaslr_offset_phys

By contrast, __va() macro deals only with identity mapping
addresses:

	virt == phys + __identity_base

.amode31 section is mapped separately and is not covered by
__pa() macro. In fact, it could have been handled easily by
checking whether a virtual address is within the section or
not, but there is no need for that. Thus, let __pa() code
do as little machine cycles as possible.

The KASAN shadow memory is located at the very end of the
virtual memory layout, at addresses higher than the kernel.
However, that is not a linear mapping and no code other than
KASAN instrumentation or API is expected to access it.

When KASLR mode is enabled the kernel base address randomized
within a memory window that spans whole unused virtual address
space. The size of that window depends from the amount of
physical memory available to the system, the limit imposed by
UltraVisor (if present) and the vmalloc area size as provided
by vmalloc= kernel command line parameter.

In case the virtual memory is exhausted the minimum size of
the randomization window is forcefully set to 2GB, which
amounts to in 15 bits of entropy if KASAN is enabled or 17
bits of entropy in default configuration.

The default kernel offset 0x100000 is used as a magic value
both in the decompressor code and vmlinux linker script, but
it will be removed with a follow-up change.

Even if pXd_leaf() API is defined globally, it's not clear on the retval,
and there are three types used (bool, int, unsigned log).

Always return a boolean for pXd_leaf() APIs.
