[ Upstream commit 6b73044b2b0081ee3dd1cd6eaab7dee552601efb ]

Define TIF_ISOLATE_BP and TIF_ISOLATE_BP_GUEST and add the necessary
plumbing in entry.S to be able to run user space and KVM guests with
limited branch prediction.

To switch a user space process to limited branch prediction the
s390_isolate_bp() function has to be call, and to run a vCPU of a KVM
guest associated with the current task with limited branch prediction
call s390_isolate_bp_guest().

[ Upstream commit d768bd892fc8f066cd3aa000eb1867bcf32db0ee ]

Add the PPA instruction to the system entry and exit path to switch
the kernel to a different branch prediction behaviour. The instructions
are added via CPU alternatives and can be disabled with the "nospec"
or the "nobp=0" kernel parameter. If the default behaviour selected
with CONFIG_KERNEL_NOBP is set to "n" then the "nobp=1" parameter can be
used to enable the changed kernel branch prediction.

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

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd'/>
<id>urn:sha1:b24413180f5600bcb3bb70fbed5cf186b60864bd</id>
<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.

The only user of thread_saved_pc() in non-arch-specific code was removed
in commit 8243d5597793 ("sched/core: Remove pointless printout in
sched_show_task()").  Remove the implementations as well.

Some architectures use thread_saved_pc() in their arch-specific code.
Leave their thread_saved_pc() intact.

Add the logic to check if the machine check happens when the guest is
running. If yes, set the exit reason -EINTR in the machine check's
interrupt handler. Refactor s390_do_machine_check to avoid panicing
the host for some kinds of machine checks which happen
when guest is running.
Reinject the instruction processing damage's machine checks including
Delayed Access Exception instead of damaging the host if it happens
in the guest because it could be caused by improper update on TLB entry
or other software case and impacts the guest only.

The TASK_SIZE for a process should be maximum possible size of the address
space, 2GB for a 31-bit process and 8PB for a 64-bit process. The number
of page table levels required for a given memory layout is a consequence
of the mapped memory areas and their location.

<title>s390: add a system call for guarded storage</title>
<updated>2017-03-22T07:14:25Z</updated>
<author>
<name>Martin Schwidefsky</name>
</author>
<published>2016-01-26T13:10:34Z</published>
<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=916cda1aa1b412d7cf2991c3af7479544942d121'/>
<id>urn:sha1:916cda1aa1b412d7cf2991c3af7479544942d121</id>
<content type='text'>
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.
