[S390] kvm: fix address mode switching

2011-09-20T15:07:34Z

598841ca9919d008b520114d8a4378c4ce4e40a1 ([S390] use gmap address spaces for kvm guest images) changed kvm to use a separate address space for kvm guests. This address space was switched in __vcpu_run In some cases (preemption, page fault) there is the possibility that this address space switch is lost. The typical symptom was a huge amount of validity intercepts or random guest addressing exceptions. Fix this by doing the switch in sie_loop and sie_exit and saving the address space in the gmap structure itself. Also use the preempt notifier.

[S390] asm offsets: fix coding style

2011-08-03T14:44:20Z

Because of readability reasons we ignore the 80 character line limit in asm offsets. Just one line per define, nothing else. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

[S390] Add PSW restart shutdown trigger

2011-08-03T14:44:19Z

With this patch a new S390 shutdown trigger "restart" is added. If under z/VM "systerm restart" is entered or under the HMC the "PSW restart" button is pressed, the PSW located at 0 (31 bit) or 0x1a0 (64 bit) bit is loaded. Now we execute do_restart() that processes the restart action that is defined under /sys/firmware/shutdown_actions/on_restart. Currently the following actions are possible: reipl (default), stop, vmcmd, dump, and dump_reipl. Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

[S390] kvm guest address space mapping

2011-07-24T08:48:21Z

Add code that allows KVM to control the virtual memory layout that is seen by a guest. The guest address space uses a second page table that shares the last level pte-tables with the process page table. If a page is unmapped from the process page table it is automatically unmapped from the guest page table as well. The guest address space mapping starts out empty, KVM can map any individual 1MB segments from the process virtual memory to any 1MB aligned location in the guest virtual memory. If a target segment in the process virtual memory does not exist or is unmapped while a guest mapping exists the desired target address is stored as an invalid segment table entry in the guest page table. The population of the guest page table is fault driven. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts

2011-05-23T08:24:29Z

On cpu hot remove a PFAULT CANCEL command is sent to the hypervisor which in turn will cancel all outstanding pfault requests that have been issued on that cpu (the same happens with a SIGP cpu reset). The result is that we end up with uninterruptible processes where the interrupt that would wake up these processes never arrives. In order to solve this all processes which wait for a pfault completion interrupt get woken up after a cpu hot remove. The worst case that could happen is that they fault again and in turn need to wait again. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] Remove data execution protection

2011-05-23T08:24:28Z

The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case. Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines. The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been used to fetch the instruction. This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current noexec support. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] vdso: get rid of redefinition warnings

2010-10-29T14:50:50Z

The CLOCK_* defines in asm-offsets.c are only used for the vdso code however in the meantime they cause other trouble. Just rename them to get permanently rid of this: In file included from /home2/heicarst/linux-2.6/arch/s390/include/asm/asm-offsets.h:1:0, from arch/s390/mm/fault.c:33: include/generated/asm-offsets.h:53:0: warning: "CLOCK_REALTIME" redefined include/linux/time.h:286:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition include/generated/asm-offsets.h:54:0: warning: "CLOCK_MONOTONIC" redefined include/linux/time.h:287:0: note: this is the location of the previous definition Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
