		...
		unsigned int		f_spare[4];		/*    68    16 */
		/* size: 88, cachelines: 1, members: 12 */
		/* padding: 4 */

One has to keep the existence of padding in mind when working with
these structs. Grow f_spare arrays to 5 in order to simplify things.

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Add support for stackleak feature. Also allow specifying
   architecture-specific stackleak poison function to enable faster
   implementation. On s390, the mvc-based implementation helps decrease
   typical overhead from a factor of 3 to just 25%

 - Convert all assembler files to use SYM* style macros, deprecating the
   ENTRY() macro and other annotations. Select ARCH_USE_SYM_ANNOTATIONS

 - Improve KASLR to also randomize module and special amode31 code base
   load addresses

 - Rework decompressor memory tracking to support memory holes and
   improve error handling

 - Add support for protected virtualization AP binding

 - Add support for set_direct_map() calls

 - Implement set_memory_rox() and noexec module_alloc()

 - Remove obsolete overriding of mem*() functions for KASAN

 - Rework kexec/kdump to avoid using nodat_stack to call purgatory

 - Convert the rest of the s390 code to use flexible-array member
   instead of a zero-length array

 - Clean up uaccess inline asm

 - Enable ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE

 - Convert to using CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT and enable
   DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B

 - Resolve last_break in userspace fault reports

 - Simplify one-level sysctl registration

 - Clean up branch prediction handling

 - Rework CPU counter facility to retrieve available counter sets just
   once

 - Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code

<id>urn:sha1:2a405f6bb3a5b2baaa74dfc5aaa0e1b99145bd1b</id>
<content type='text'>
Provide an s390 specific __stackleak_poison() implementation which is
faster than the generic variant.

For the original implementation with an enforced 4kb stackframe for the
getpid() system call the system call overhead increases by a factor of 3 if
the stackleak feature is enabled. Using the s390 mvc based variant this is
reduced to an increase of 25% instead.

This is within the expected area, since the mvc based implementation is
more or less a memset64() variant which comes with similar results. See
commit 0b77d6701cf8 ("s390: implement memset16, memset32 &amp; memset64").

Implement the set_direct_map_*() API, which allows to invalidate and set
default permissions to pages within the direct mapping.

Note that kernel_page_present(), which is also supposed to be part of this
API, is intentionally not implemented. The reason for this is that
kernel_page_present() is only used (and currently only makes sense) for
suspend/resume, which isn't supported on s390.

The kasan mem*() functions are not used anymore since s390 has switched
to GENERIC_ENTRY and commit 69d4c0d32186 ("entry, kasan, x86: Disallow
overriding mem*() functions").

Therefore remove the now dead code, similar to x86.
While at it also use the SYM* macros in mem.S.

<title>s390/kdump: remove nodat stack restriction for calling nodat functions</title>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=2d1b21eceaf0765d60b543b2b8e26c2f55517259'/>
<id>urn:sha1:2d1b21eceaf0765d60b543b2b8e26c2f55517259</id>
<content type='text'>
To allow calling of DAT-off code from kernel the stack needs
to be switched to nodat_stack (or other stack mapped as 1:1).

Before call_nodat() macro was introduced that was necessary
to provide the very same memory address for STNSM and STOSM
instructions. If the kernel would stay on a random stack
(e.g. a virtually mapped one) then a virtual address provided
for STNSM instruction could differ from the physical address
needed for the corresponding STOSM instruction.

After call_nodat() macro is introduced the kernel stack does
not need to be mapped 1:1 anymore, since the macro stores the
physical memory address of return PSW in a register before
entering DAT-off mode. This way the return LPSWE instruction
is able to pick the correct memory location and restore the
DAT-on mode. That however might fail in case the 16-byte return
PSW happened to cross page boundary: PSW mask and PSW address
could end up in two separate non-contiguous physical pages.

Align the return PSW on 16-byte boundary so it always fits
into a single physical page. As result any stack (including
the virtually mapped one) could be used for calling DAT-off
code and prior switching to nodat_stack becomes unnecessary.

<title>s390/kdump: rework invocation of DAT-off code</title>

<id>urn:sha1:82caf7aba107dbc0e70c330786bed9961a098ab0</id>
<content type='text'>
Calling kdump kernel is a two-step process that involves
invocation of the purgatory code: first time - to verify
the new kernel checksum and second time - to call the new
kernel itself.

The purgatory code operates on real addresses and does not
expect any memory protection. Therefore, before the purgatory
code is entered the DAT mode is always turned off. However,
it is only restored upon return from the new kernel checksum
verification. In case the purgatory was called to start the
new kernel and failed the control is returned to the old
kernel, but the DAT mode continues staying off.

The new kernel start failure is unlikely and leads to the
disabled wait state anyway. Still that poses a risk, since
the kernel code in general is not DAT-off safe and even
calling the disabled_wait() function might crash.

Introduce call_nodat() macro that allows entering DAT-off
mode, calling an arbitrary function and restoring DAT mode
back on. Switch all invocations of DAT-off code to that
macro and avoid the above described scenario altogether.

Name the call_nodat() macro in small letters after the
already existing call_on_stack() and put it to the same
header file.
