<title>s390/boot: fix absolute zero lowcore corruption on boot</title>

<id>urn:sha1:12dd19c159659ec9050f45dc8a2ff3c3917f4be3</id>
<content type='text'>
Crash dump always starts on CPU0. In case CPU0 is offline the
prefix page is not installed and the absolute zero lowcore is
used. However, struct lowcore::mcesad is never assigned and
stays zero. That leads to __machine_kdump() -&gt; save_vx_regs()
call silently stores vector registers to the absolute lowcore
at 0x11b0 offset.

<title>s390/pai: add support for cryptography counters</title>
<updated>2022-05-09T09:50:01Z</updated>

<link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='https://git.0xinfinity.dev/distro/kernel.git/commit/?id=39d62336f5c126ad6dccdf66cd249f2d0e86d3c9'/>
<id>urn:sha1:39d62336f5c126ad6dccdf66cd249f2d0e86d3c9</id>
<content type='text'>
PMU device driver perf_pai_crypto supports Processor Activity
Instrumentation (PAI), available with IBM z16:
- maps a full page to lowcore address 0x1500.
- uses CR0 bit 13 to turn PAI crypto counting on and off.
- creates a sample with raw data on each context switch out when
  at context switch some mapped counters have a value of nonzero.
This device driver only supports CPU wide context, no task context
is allowed.

Support for counting:
- one or more counters can be specified using
  perf stat -e pai_crypto/xxx/
  where xxx stands for the counter event name. Multiple invocation
  of this command is possible. The counter names are listed in
  /sys/devices/pai_crypto/events directory.
- one special counters can be specified using
  perf stat -e pai_crypto/CRYPTO_ALL/
  which returns the sum of all incremented crypto counters.
- one event pai_crypto/CRYPTO_ALL/ is reserved for sampling.
  No multiple invocations are possible. The event collects data at
  context switch out and saves them in the ring buffer.

Add qpaci assembly instruction to query supported memory mapped crypto
counters. It returns the number of counters (no holes allowed in that
range).

The PAI crypto counter events are system wide and can not be executed
in parallel. Therefore some restrictions documented in function
paicrypt_busy apply.
In particular event CRYPTO_ALL for sampling must run exclusive.
Only counting events can run in parallel.

PAI crypto counter events can not be created when a CPU hot plug
add is processed. This means a CPU hot plug add does not get
the necessary PAI event to record PAI cryptography counter increments
on the newly added CPU. CPU hot plug remove removes the event and
terminates the counting of PAI counters immediately.

The machine check validity bit tells about the context. If a KVM guest
was running the bit tells about the guest validity and the host state is
not affected. As a guest can disable the guest validity this might
result in unwanted host errors on machine checks.

<content type='text'>
machine check validity bits reflect the state of the machine check. If a
guest does not make use of guarded storage, the validity bit might be
off. We can not use the host CR bit to decide if the validity bit must
be on. So ignore "invalid" guarded storage controls for KVM guests in
the host and rely on the machine check being forwarded to the guest.  If
no other errors happen from a host perspective everything is fine and no
process must be killed and the host can continue to run.

<content type='text'>
Pull signal/exit/ptrace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "This set of changes deletes some dead code, makes a lot of cleanups
  which hopefully make the code easier to follow, and fixes bugs found
  along the way.

  The end-game which I have not yet reached yet is for fatal signals
  that generate coredumps to be short-circuit deliverable from
  complete_signal, for force_siginfo_to_task not to require changing
  userspace configured signal delivery state, and for the ptrace stops
  to always happen in locations where we can guarantee on all
  architectures that the all of the registers are saved and available on
  the stack.

  Removal of profile_task_ext, profile_munmap, and profile_handoff_task
  are the big successes for dead code removal this round.

  A bunch of small bug fixes are included, as most of the issues
  reported were small enough that they would not affect bisection so I
  simply added the fixes and did not fold the fixes into the changes
  they were fixing.

  There was a bug that broke coredumps piped to systemd-coredump. I
  dropped the change that caused that bug and replaced it entirely with
  something much more restrained. Unfortunately that required some
  rebasing.

  Some successes after this set of changes: There are few enough calls
  to do_exit to audit in a reasonable amount of time. The lifetime of
  struct kthread now matches the lifetime of struct task, and the
  pointer to struct kthread is no longer stored in set_child_tid. The
  flag SIGNAL_GROUP_COREDUMP is removed. The field group_exit_task is
  removed. Issues where task-&gt;exit_code was examined with
  signal-&gt;group_exit_code should been examined were fixed.

  There are several loosely related changes included because I am
  cleaning up and if I don't include them they will probably get lost.

  The original postings of these changes can be found at:
     https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87a6ha4zsd.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org
     https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87bl1kunjj.fsf@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org
     https://lkml.kernel.org/r/87r19opkx1.fsf_-_@email.froward.int.ebiederm.org

  I trimmed back the last set of changes to only the obviously correct
  once. Simply because there was less time for review than I had hoped"

Updating of the pointer to machine check extended save area
on the IPL CPU needs the lowcore protection to be disabled.
Disable interrupts while the protection is off to avoid
unnoticed writes to the lowcore.

<title>exit: Add and use make_task_dead.</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0e25498f8cd43c1b5aa327f373dd094e9a006da7</id>
<content type='text'>
There are two big uses of do_exit.  The first is it's design use to be
the guts of the exit(2) system call.  The second use is to terminate
a task after something catastrophic has happened like a NULL pointer
in kernel code.

Add a function make_task_dead that is initialy exactly the same as
do_exit to cover the cases where do_exit is called to handle
catastrophic failure.  In time this can probably be reduced to just a
light wrapper around do_task_dead. For now keep it exactly the same so
that there will be no behavioral differences introducing this new
concept.

Replace all of the uses of do_exit that use it for catastraphic
task cleanup with make_task_dead to make it clear what the code
is doing.

As part of this rename rewind_stack_do_exit
rewind_stack_and_make_dead.

Note: this currently doesn't fix a real bug, since virtual addresses
