s390: fix normalization bug in exception table sorting

2016-03-03T23:07:12+00:00

commit bcb7825a77f41c7dd91da6f7ac10b928156a322e upstream.

The normalization pass in the sorting routine of the relative exception
table serves two purposes:
- it ensures that the address fields of the exception table entries are
  fully ordered, so that no ambiguities arise between entries with
  identical instruction offsets (i.e., when two instructions that are
  exactly 8 bytes apart each have an exception table entry associated with
  them)
- it ensures that the offsets of both the instruction and the fixup fields
  of each entry are relative to their final location after sorting.

Commit eb608fb366de ("s390/exceptions: switch to relative exception table
entries") ported the relative exception table format from x86, but modified
the sorting routine to only normalize the instruction offset field and not
the fixup offset field. The result is that the fixup offset of each entry
will be relative to the original location of the entry before sorting,
likely leading to crashes when those entries are dereferenced.

s390: avoid cache aliasing under z/VM and KVM

2015-11-16T11:04:18+00:00

commit 1f6b83e5e4d3 ("s390: avoid z13 cache aliasing") checks for the
machine type to optimize address space randomization and zero page
allocation to avoid cache aliases.

This check might fail under a hypervisor with migration support.
z/VMs "Single System Image and Live Guest Relocation" facility will
"fake" the machine type of the oldest system in the group. For example
in a group of zEC12 and Z13 the guest appears to run on a zEC12
(architecture fencing within the relocation domain)

Remove the machine type detection and always use cache aliasing
rules that are known to work for all machines. These are the z13
aliasing rules.

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

2015-10-14T12:32:12+00:00

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.

Merge tag 'libnvdimm-for-4.3' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/nvdimm/nvdimm

2015-09-08T21:35:59+00:00

Pull libnvdimm updates from Dan Williams:
 "This update has successfully completed a 0day-kbuild run and has
  appeared in a linux-next release.  The changes outside of the typical
  drivers/nvdimm/ and drivers/acpi/nfit.[ch] paths are related to the
  removal of IORESOURCE_CACHEABLE, the introduction of memremap(), and
  the introduction of ZONE_DEVICE + devm_memremap_pages().

  Summary:

   - Introduce ZONE_DEVICE and devm_memremap_pages() as a generic
     mechanism for adding device-driver-discovered memory regions to the
     kernel's direct map.

     This facility is used by the pmem driver to enable pfn_to_page()
     operations on the page frames returned by DAX ('direct_access' in
     'struct block_device_operations').

     For now, the 'memmap' allocation for these "device" pages comes
     from "System RAM".  Support for allocating the memmap from device
     memory will arrive in a later kernel.

   - Introduce memremap() to replace usages of ioremap_cache() and
     ioremap_wt().  memremap() drops the __iomem annotation for these
     mappings to memory that do not have i/o side effects.  The
     replacement of ioremap_cache() with memremap() is limited to the
     pmem driver to ease merging the api change in v4.3.

     Completion of the conversion is targeted for v4.4.

   - Similar to the usage of memcpy_to_pmem() + wmb_pmem() in the pmem
     driver, update the VFS DAX implementation and PMEM api to provide
     persistence guarantees for kernel operations on a DAX mapping.

   - Convert the ACPI NFIT 'BLK' driver to map the block apertures as
     cacheable to improve performance.

   - Miscellaneous updates and fixes to libnvdimm including support for
     issuing "address range scrub" commands, clarifying the optimal
     'sector size' of pmem devices, a clarification of the usage of the
     ACPI '_STA' (status) property for DIMM devices, and other minor
     fixes"

mm: ZONE_DEVICE for "device memory"

2015-08-27T23:40:58+00:00

While pmem is usable as a block device or via DAX mappings to userspace
there are several usage scenarios that can not target pmem due to its
lack of struct page coverage. In preparation for "hot plugging" pmem
into the vmemmap add ZONE_DEVICE as a new zone to tag these pages
separately from the ones that are subject to standard page allocations.
Importantly "device memory" can be removed at will by userspace
unbinding the driver of the device.

Having a separate zone prevents allocation and otherwise marks these
pages that are distinct from typical uniform memory.  Device memory has
different lifetime and performance characteristics than RAM.  However,
since we have run out of ZONES_SHIFT bits this functionality currently
depends on sacrificing ZONE_DMA.

s390/mm: simplify page table alloc/free code

2015-08-19T08:41:19+00:00

With the removal of the dynamic reallocation of page tables for
KVM (see git commit 0b46e0a3ec0d7a04af6a091354f1b5e1b952d70a)
the page table allocation / freeing code can be simplified.

The page table free code can now use the alloc_pgste bit in the
mm context to decide if a page table is 2K or 4K, there is no mix
of different sized page tables anymore. This eliminates the need
to use "page->_mapcount == 0" to check for 4K page table.

Use the lower two bits in page->_mapcount to indicate which
2K fragments of the 4K page are in use.

As 31-bit support is gone, remove the two defines ALLOC_ORDER
and FRAG_MASK and use the constants directly where appropriate.
