For both ccw and fcp boot retrieve ipl info from ipl block received via diag308 store. Old scsi ipl parm block handling and cio_get_iplinfo are removed. Ipl type is deducted from ipl block (if valid). Reviewed-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/lpp: use assembler alternatives for the LPP instruction

2018-03-28T06:38:28Z

With the new macros for CPU alternatives the MACHINE_FLAG_LPP check around the LPP instruction can be optimized. After this is done the flag can be removed. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: unify linker symbols usage

2018-02-27T07:05:23Z

Common code defines linker symbols which denote sections start/end in a form of char []. Referencing those symbols as _symbol or &_symbol yields the same result, but "_symbol" form is more widespread across newly written code. Convert s390 specific code to this style. Also removes unused _text symbol definition in boot/compressed/misc.c. Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik Acked-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: add options to change branch prediction behaviour for the kernel

2018-02-05T12:49:17Z

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.

This however is incorrect. This breaks e.g. for user mode helper handling, where the kernel creates a kernel thread and then execve's a user space program. Control register contents related to transactional execution won't be updated on execve. If the previous task ran with transactional execution disabled then the new task will also run with transactional execution disabled, which is incorrect. Therefore call update_per_regs() unconditionally within switch_to(). - on startup the transactional execution facility is not enabled for the idle thread. This is not really a bug, but an inconsistency to other facilities. Therefore enable the facility if it is available. - on fork the new thread's per_flags field is not cleared. This means that a child process inherits the PER_FLAG_NO_TE flag. This flag can be set with a ptrace request to disable transactional execution for the current process. It should not be inherited by new child processes in order to be consistent with the handling of all other PER related debugging options. Therefore clear the per_flags field in copy_thread_tls().

s390: remove named saved segment support

2017-11-08T08:47:54Z

Remove the support to create a z/VM named saved segment (NSS). This feature is not supported since quite a while in favour of jump labels, function tracing and (now) CPU alternatives. All of these features require to write to the kernel text section which is not possible if the kernel is contained within an NSS. Given that memory savings are minimal if kernel images are shared and in addition updates of shared images are painful, the NSS feature can be removed.

License cleanup: add SPDX GPL-2.0 license identifier to files with no license

2017-11-02T10:10:55Z

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 & 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 >5 lines of source - File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <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. Reviewed-by: Kate Stewart Reviewed-by: Philippe Ombredanne Reviewed-by: Thomas Gleixner Signed-off-by: Greg Kroah-Hartman

s390/topology: alternative topology for topology-less machines

2017-09-20T11:47:54Z

If running on machines that do not provide topology information we currently generate a "fake" topology which defines the maximum distance between each cpu: each cpu will be put into an own drawer. Historically this used to be the best option for (virtual) machines in overcommited hypervisors. For some workloads however it is better to generate a different topology where all cpus are siblings within a package (all cpus are core siblings). This shows performance improvements of up to 10%, depending on the workload. In order to keep the current behaviour, but also allow to switch to the different core sibling topology use the existing "topology=" kernel parameter: Specifying "topology=on" on machines without topology information will generate the core siblings (fake) topology information, instead of the default topology information where all cpus have the maximum distance. On machines which provide topology information specifying "topology=on" does not have any effect. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
