s390: kernel: Remove redundant license text

2017-11-24T14:37:20+00:00

Now that the SPDX tag is in all arch/s390/kernel/ files, that identifies
the license in a specific and legally-defined manner.  So the extra GPL
text wording can be removed as it is no longer needed at all.

This is done on a quest to remove the 700+ different ways that files in
the kernel describe the GPL license text.  And there's unneeded stuff
like the address (sometimes incorrect) for the FSF which is never
needed.

No copyright headers or other non-license-description text was removed.

s390: kernel: add SPDX identifiers to the remaining files

2017-11-24T14:37:12+00:00

It's good to have SPDX identifiers in all files to make it easier to
audit the kernel tree for correct licenses.

Update the arch/s390/kernel/ files with the correct SPDX license
identifier based on the license text in the file itself.  The SPDX
identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used instead of
the full boiler plate text.

This work is based on a script and data from Thomas Gleixner, Philippe
Ombredanne, and Kate Stewart.

s390: remove all code using the access register mode

2017-11-14T10:01:47+00:00

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.

s390/vdso: move boot_vdso_data to vdso.c

2017-10-18T12:11:36+00:00

The boot_vdso_data variable is related to the vdso code, the magic of the
initial vdso area for the early boot and the replacement of it in vdso_init
should all be put into vdso.c.

Use memset64 instead of the (now) open-coded variant clear_table.

s390/mm: tag normal pages vs pages used in page tables

2017-07-25T04:55:28+00:00

The ESSA instruction has a new option that allows to tag pages that
are not used as a page table. Without the tag the hypervisor has to
assume that any guest page could be used in a page table inside the
guest. This forces the hypervisor to flush all guest TLB entries
whenever a host page table entry is invalidated. With the tag
the host can skip the TLB flush if the page is tagged as normal page.

s390/vdso: use _install_special_mapping to establish vdso

2017-06-12T14:25:57+00:00

Switch to the improved _install_special_mapping function to install
the vdso mapping. This has two advantages, the arch_vma_name function
is not needed anymore and the vdso vma still has its name after its
memory location has been changed with mremap.

s390: kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h

2017-02-17T06:40:31+00:00

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends.  That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.

This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig.  The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.

Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each change instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed.  Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

vdso: make arch_setup_additional_pages wait for mmap_sem for write killable

2016-05-24T00:04:14+00:00

most architectures are relying on mmap_sem for write in their
arch_setup_additional_pages.  If the waiting task gets killed by the oom
killer it would block oom_reaper from asynchronous address space reclaim
and reduce the chances of timely OOM resolving.  Wait for the lock in
the killable mode and return with EINTR if the task got killed while
waiting.
