s390: remove all code using the access register mode

2017-11-14T10:01:47Z

The vdso code for the getcpu() and the clock_gettime() call use the access register mode to access the per-CPU vdso data page with the current code. An alternative to the complicated AR mode is to use the secondary space mode. This makes the vdso faster and quite a bit simpler. The downside is that the uaccess code has to be changed quite a bit. Which instructions are used depends on the machine and what kind of uaccess operation is requested. The instruction dictates which ASCE value needs to be loaded into %cr1 and %cr7. The different cases: * User copy with MVCOS for z10 and newer machines The MVCOS instruction can copy between the primary space (aka user) and the home space (aka kernel) directly. For set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the kernel ASCE is loaded into %cr1. For set_fs(USER_DS) the user space is already loaded in %cr1. * User copy with MVCP/MVCS for older machines To be able to execute the MVCP/MVCS instructions the kernel needs to switch to primary mode. The control register %cr1 has to be set to the kernel ASCE and %cr7 to either the kernel ASCE or the user ASCE dependent on set_fs(KERNEL_DS) vs set_fs(USER_DS). * Data access in the user address space for strnlen / futex To use "normal" instruction with data from the user address space the secondary space mode is used. The kernel needs to switch to primary mode, %cr1 has to contain the kernel ASCE and %cr7 either the user ASCE or the kernel ASCE, dependent on set_fs. To load a new value into %cr1 or %cr7 is an expensive operation, the kernel tries to be lazy about it. E.g. for multiple user copies in a row with MVCP/MVCS the replacement of the vdso ASCE in %cr7 with the user ASCE is done only once. On return to user space a CPU bit is checked that loads the vdso ASCE again. To enable and disable the data access via the secondary space two new functions are added, enable_sacf_uaccess and disable_sacf_uaccess. The fact that a context is in secondary space uaccess mode is stored in the mm_segment_t value for the task. The code of an interrupt may use set_fs as long as it returns to the previous state it got with get_fs with another call to set_fs. The code in finish_arch_post_lock_switch simply has to do a set_fs with the current mm_segment_t value for the task. For CPUs with MVCOS: CPU running in | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE | --------------------------------------|-----------|-----------| user space | user | vdso | kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode | user | vdso | kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode, lazy | user | user | kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode | kernel | user | kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode | kernel | vdso | kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode, lazy | kernel | kernel | kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode | kernel | kernel | For CPUs without MVCOS: CPU running in | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE | --------------------------------------|-----------|-----------| user space | user | vdso | kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode | user | vdso | kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode lazy | kernel | user | kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode | kernel | user | kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode | kernel | vdso | kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode, lazy | kernel | kernel | kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode | kernel | kernel | The lines with "lazy" refer to the state after a copy via the secondary space with a delayed reload of %cr1 and %cr7. There are three hardware address spaces that can cause a DAT exception, primary, secondary and home space. The exception can be related to four different fault types: user space fault, vdso fault, kernel fault, and the gmap faults. Dependent on the set_fs state and normal vs. sacf mode there are a number of fault combinations: 1) user address space fault via the primary ASCE 2) gmap address space fault via the primary ASCE 3) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for machines with MVCOS and set_fs(KERNEL_DS) 4) vdso address space faults via the secondary ASCE with an invalid address while running in secondary space in problem state 5) user address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy based on the secondary space mode, e.g. futex_ops or strnlen_user 6) kernel address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy with secondary space mode with set_fs(KERNEL_DS) 7) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for user-copy with secondary space mode with set_fs(USER_DS) on machines without MVCOS. 8) kernel address space fault via the home space ASCE Replace user_space_fault() with a new function get_fault_type() that can distinguish all four different fault types. With these changes the futex atomic ops from the kernel and the strnlen_user will get a little bit slower, as well as the old style uaccess with MVCP/MVCS. All user accesses based on MVCOS will be as fast as before. On the positive side, the user space vdso code is a lot faster and Linux ceases to use the complicated AR mode.

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/time: add support for the TOD clock epoch extension

2017-07-26T06:25:14Z

The TOD epoch extension adds 8 epoch bits to the TOD clock to provide a continuous clock after 2042/09/17. The store-clock-extended (STCKE) instruction will store the epoch index in the first byte of the 16 bytes stored by the instruction. The read_boot_clock64 and the read_presistent_clock64 functions need to take the additional bits into account to give the correct result after 2042/09/17. The clock-comparator register will stay 64 bit wide. The comparison of the clock-comparator with the TOD clock is limited to bytes 1 to 8 of the extended TOD format. To deal with the overflow problem due to an epoch change the clock-comparator sign control in CR0 can be used to switch the comparison of the 64-bit TOD clock with the clock-comparator to a signed comparison. The decision between the signed vs. unsigned clock-comparator comparisons is done at boot time. Only if the TOD clock is in the second half of a 142 year epoch the signed comparison is used. This solves the epoch overflow issue as long as the machine is booted at least once in an epoch. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/cpumf: simplify detection of guest samples

2017-04-05T08:11:38Z

There are three different code levels in regard to the identification of guest samples. They differ in the way the LPP instruction is used. 1) Old kernels without the LPP instruction. The guest program parameter is always zero. 2) Newer kernels load the process pid into the program parameter with LPP. The guest program parameter is non-zero if the guest executes in a process != idle. 3) The latest kernels load ((1UL << 31) | pid) with LPP to make the value non-zero even for the idle task. The guest program parameter is non-zero if the guest is running. All kernels load the process pid to CR4 on context switch. The CPU sampling code uses the value in CR4 to decide between guest and host samples in case the guest program parameter is zero. The three cases: 1) CR4==pid, gpp==0 2) CR4==pid, gpp==pid 3) CR4==pid, gpp==((1UL << 31) | pid) The load-control instruction to load the pid into CR4 is expensive and the goal is to remove it. To distinguish the host CR4 from the guest pid for the idle process the maximum value 0xffff for the PASN is used. This adds a fourth case for a guest OS with an updated kernel: 4) CR4==0xffff, gpp=((1UL << 31) | pid) The host kernel will have CR4==0xffff and will use (gpp!=0 || CR4!==0xffff) to identify guest samples. This works nicely with all 4 cases, the only possible issue would be a guest with an old kernel (gpp==0) and a process pid of 0xffff. Well, don't do that..

s390/facilities: always use lowcore's stfle field for storing facility bits

2015-12-18T13:59:19Z

head.s contains an stfle instruction which stores it result at the storage location that is assigned to the stfl instruction. This is currently no problem, since we only care about one double word. However if the number of double words in the ALS bitfield grows the current code is not very stable. E.g. before issuing the stfle command the memory to which it stores must be cleared, since the instruction may or may not clear memory contents where no bits are set. In order to simplify the code a bit always use the storage location that we reserved for the stfle result. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/cpumf: rework program parameter setting to detect guest samples

2015-10-14T12:32:12Z

The program parameter can be used to mark hardware samples with some token. Previously, it was used to mark guest samples only. Improve the program parameter doubleword by combining two parts, the leftmost LPP part and the rightmost PID part. Set the PID part for processes by using the task PID. To distinguish host and guest samples for the kernel (PID part is zero), the guest must always set the program paramater to a non-zero value. Use the leftmost bit in the LPP part of the program parameter to be able to detect guest kernel samples. [brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com]: Split __LC_CURRENT and introduced __LC_LPP. Corrected __LC_CURRENT users and adjusted assembler parts. And updated the commit message accordingly.

s390: fix kernel crash due to linkage stack instructions

2014-02-05T10:00:50Z

The kernel currently crashes with a low-address-protection exception if a user space process executes an instruction that tries to use the linkage stack. Set the base-ASTE origin and the subspace-ASTE origin of the dispatchable-unit-control-table to point to a dummy ASTE. Set up control register 15 to point to an empty linkage stack with no room left. A user space process with a linkage stack instruction will still crash but with a different exception which is correctly translated to a segmentation fault instead of a kernel oops.
