The 31-bit assembler code for the early sclp console is error
prone as git commit fde24b54d976cc123506695c17db01438a11b673
"s390/sclp: clear upper register halves in _sclp_print_early"
has shown.Convert the assembler code to C.

A hardware problem on a FICON link is reported by the Channel Subsystem
to the operating system via a Link Incident Record (LIR). In response,
the operating system should issue a message that enables hardware
service personnel to identify and repair the failing component.Current Linux LIR handling is broken because LIR data is incorrectly
interpreted and no log message is generated.This patch fixes Linux LIR handling by implementing a new log message
for LIRs indicating a degraded or non-operational link. Also LIRs are
no longer used to deactivate channel paths because the available data
does not reliably allow to determine the affected channel path.Signed-off-by: Peter Oberparleiter

If a machine checks is received while the CPU is in the kernel, only
the s390_do_machine_check function will be called. The call to
s390_handle_mcck is postponed until the CPU returns to user space.
Because of this it is safe to use the asynchronous stack for machine
checks even if the CPU is already handling an interrupt.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Reorder the instructions of UPDATE_VTIME to improve superscalar execution,
remove duplicate checks for problem-state from the asynchronous interrupt
handlers, and move the check for problem-state from the synchronous
exit path to the program check path as it is only needed for program
checks inside the kernel.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Currently there are two mechanisms to deal with cleanup work due to
interrupts. The HANDLE_SIE_INTERCEPT macro is used to undo the changes
required to enter SIE in sie64a. If the SIE instruction causes a program
check, or an asynchronous interrupt is received the HANDLE_SIE_INTERCEPT
code forwards the program execution to sie_exit.All the other critical sections in entry.S are handled by the code in
cleanup_critical that is called by the SWITCH_ASYNC macro.Move the sie64a function to the beginning of the critical section and
add the code from HANDLE_SIE_INTERCEPT to cleanup_critical. Add a special
case for the sie64a cleanup to the program check handler.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
-
The HANDLE_SIE_INTERCEPT macro is used in the interrupt handlers
and the program check handler to undo a few changes done by sie64a.
Among them are guest vs host LPP, the gmap ASCE vs kernel ASCE and
the bit that indicates that SIE is currently running on the CPU.There is a race of a voluntary SIE exit vs asynchronous interrupts.
If the CPU completed the SIE instruction and the TM instruction of
the LPP macro at the time it receives an interrupt, the interrupt
handler will run while the LPP, the ASCE and the SIE bit are still
set up for guest execution. This might result in wrong sampling data,
but it will not cause data corruption or lockups.The critical section in sie64a needs to be enlarged to include all
instructions that undo the changes required for guest execution.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Improve the save and restore behavior of FPU register contents to use the
vector extension within the kernel.The kernel does not use floating-point or vector registers and, therefore,
saving and restoring the FPU register contents are performed for handling
signals or switching processes only. To prepare for using vector
instructions and vector registers within the kernel, enhance the save
behavior and implement a lazy restore at return to user space from a
system call or interrupt.To implement the lazy restore, the save_fpu_regs() sets a CPU information
flag, CIF_FPU, to indicate that the FPU registers must be restored.
Saving and setting CIF_FPU is performed in an atomic fashion to be
interrupt-safe. When the kernel wants to use the vector extension or
wants to change the FPU register state for a task during signal handling,
the save_fpu_regs() must be called first. The CIF_FPU flag is also set at
process switch. At return to user space, the FPU state is restored. In
particular, the FPU state includes the floating-point or vector register
contents, as well as, vector-enablement and floating-point control. The
FPU state restore and clearing CIF_FPU is also performed in an atomic
fashion.For KVM, the restore of the FPU register state is performed when restoring
the general-purpose guest registers before the SIE instructions is started.
Because the path towards the SIE instruction is interruptible, the CIF_FPU
flag must be checked again right before going into SIE. If set, the guest
registers must be reloaded again by re-entering the outer SIE loop. This
is the same behavior as if the SIE critical section is interrupted.Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner

The kvm_arch_vcpu_load() does not validate whether the floating-point
control (FPC) is valid. Further, the return code of the restore is not
checked too. If the FPC is invalid, the restore fails and the host FPC
value might remain. The correct behavior would be to clear the FPC if it
is not valid. Hence, validate the FPC value and, optionally, reset the
value before restoring it.Reviewed-by: David Hildenbrand

The FPU rewrite removed the dynamic allocations of 'struct fpu'.
But, this potentially wastes massive amounts of memory (2k per
task on systems that do not have AVX-512 for instance).Instead of having a separate slab, this patch just appends the
space that we need to the 'task_struct' which we dynamically
allocate already. This saves from doing an extra slab
allocation at fork().The only real downside here is that we have to stick everything
and the end of the task_struct. But, I think the
BUILD_BUG_ON()s I stuck in there should keep that from being too
fragile.Signed-off-by: Dave Hansen
