commit adc0b7fbf6fe9967505c0254d9535ec7288186ae upstream.

my gcc 5.1 used an ldgr instruction with a register != 0,2,4,6 for
spilling/filling into a floating point register in our decompressor.

This will cause an AFP-register data exception as the decompressor
did not setup the additional floating point registers via cr0.
That causes a program check loop that looked like a hang with
one "Uncompressing Linux... " message (directly booted via kvm)
or a loop of "Uncompressing Linux... " messages (when booted via
zipl boot loader).

The offending code in my build was

   48e400:       e3 c0 af ff ff 71       lay     %r12,-1(%r10)
--&gt;48e406:       b3 c1 00 1c             ldgr    %f1,%r12
   48e40a:       ec 6c 01 22 02 7f       clij    %r6,2,12,0x48e64e

but gcc could do spilling into an fpr at any function. We can
simply disable floating point support at that early stage.

<title>s390/compat: correct uc_sigmask of the compat signal frame</title>

commit 8d4bd0ed0439dfc780aab801a085961925ed6838 upstream.

The uc_sigmask in the ucontext structure is an array of words to keep
the 64 signal bits (or 1024 if you ask glibc but the kernel sigset_t
only has 64 bits).

For 64 bit the sigset_t contains a single 8 byte word, but for 31 bit
there are two 4 byte words. The compat signal handler code uses a
simple copy of the 64 bit sigset_t to the 31 bit compat_sigset_t.
As s390 is a big-endian architecture this is incorrect, the two words
in the 31 bit sigset_t array need to be swapped.

<title>lib/decompressors: use real out buf size for gunzip with kernel</title>

commit 2d3862d26e67a59340ba1cf1748196c76c5787de upstream.

When loading x86 64bit kernel above 4GiB with patched grub2, got kernel
gunzip error.

| early console in decompress_kernel
| decompress_kernel:
|       input: [0x807f2143b4-0x807ff61aee]
|      output: [0x807cc00000-0x807f3ea29b] 0x027ea29c: output_len

|  new output: [0x46fe000000-0x470138cfff] 0x0338d000: output_run_size

|
| Decompressing Linux... gz...
|
| uncompression error
|
| -- System halted

the new buffer is at 0x46fe000000ULL, decompressor_gzip is using
0xffffffb901ffffff as out_len.  gunzip in lib/zlib_inflate/inflate.c cap
that len to 0x01ffffff and decompress fails later.

We could hit this problem with crashkernel booting that uses kexec loading
kernel above 4GiB.

We have decompress_* support:
    1. inbuf[]/outbuf[] for kernel preboot.
    2. inbuf[]/flush() for initramfs
    3. fill()/flush() for initrd.
This bug only affect kernel preboot path that use outbuf[].

Add __decompress and take real out_buf_len for gunzip instead of guessing
wrong buf size.

commit 89b1145e93771d727645c96e323539c029b63f1c upstream.

The novx parameter disables the vector facility but the HWCAP_S390_VXRS
bit in the ELf hardware capabilies is always set if the machine has
the vector facility. If the user space program uses the "vx" string
in the features field of /proc/cpuinfo to utilize vector instruction
it will crash if the novx kernel paramter is set.

Convert setup_hwcaps to an arch_initcall and use MACHINE_HAS_VX to
decide if the HWCAPS_S390_VXRS bit needs to be set.

commit 785dbef407d8 ("KVM: s390: optimize round trip time in request
handling") introduced a regression. This regression was seen with
CPU hotplug in the guest and switching between 1 or 2 CPUs. This will
set/reset the IBS control via synced request.

Whenever we make a synced request, we first set the vcpu-&gt;requests
bit and then block the vcpu. The handler, on the other hand, unblocks
itself, processes vcpu-&gt;requests (by clearing them) and unblocks itself
once again.

Now, if the requester sleeps between setting of vcpu-&gt;requests and
blocking, the handler will clear the vcpu-&gt;requests bit and try to
unblock itself (although no bit is set). When the requester wakes up,
it blocks the VCPU and we have a blocked VCPU without requests.

Solution is to always unset the block bit.

The illegal operation was executed because of a missing facility check,
which should have made sure that the ECAG execution would only be executed
on machines which have the general-instructions-extension facility
installed.

<title>s390/bpf: clear correct BPF accumulator register</title>

Currently we assumed the following BPF to eBPF register mapping:

 - BPF_REG_A -&gt; BPF_REG_7
 - BPF_REG_X -&gt; BPF_REG_8

Unfortunately this mapping is wrong. The correct mapping is:

 - BPF_REG_A -&gt; BPF_REG_0
 - BPF_REG_X -&gt; BPF_REG_7

So clear the correct registers and use the BPF_REG_A and BPF_REG_X
macros instead of BPF_REG_0/7.

git commit 0c8c0f03e3a292e031596484275c14cf39c0ab7a
"x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'"
moved the thread_struct to the end of the task_struct.

This causes some of the offsets used in entry.S to overflow their
instruction operand field. To fix this  use aghi to create a
dedicated pointer for the thread_struct.

<title>mm: clean up per architecture MM hook header files</title>

Commit 2ae416b142b6 ("mm: new mm hook framework") introduced an empty
header file (mm-arch-hooks.h) for every architecture, even those which
doesn't need to define mm hooks.

As suggested by Geert Uytterhoeven, this could be cleaned through the use
of a generic header file included via each per architecture
asm/include/Kbuild file.

The PowerPC architecture is not impacted here since this architecture has
to defined the arch_remap MM hook.
