Git commit ea435467500612636f8f4fb639ff6e76b2496e4b changed the
definition of atomic_t and atomic64_t for s390 by adding the volatile
modifier to the counter field. This has an unfortunate side effect
with newer versions of the gcc. The typeof operator now picks up the
volatile modifier from the expression. This causes the compiler to
think that it has to store the two temporary variable old_val and
new_val in the __CS_LOOP for the different atomic operations to the
stack as the variables are now volatile. Both stores are superfluous.The hack to replace typeof(ptr->counter) with int in __CS_LOOP and
and long long in __CSG_LOOP avoids the two stores. A better solution
would be to drop the volatile from the counter field of the atomic_t
and atomic64_t definition. But that is a touchy subject ..Cc: Matthew Wilcox

The pagetable walk usercopy functions have used a modified copy of the
do_exception() function for fault handling. This lead to inconsistencies
with recent changes to do_exception(), e.g. performance counters. This
patch changes the pagetable walk usercopy code to call do_exception()
directly, eliminating the redundancy. A new parameter is added to
do_exception() to specify the fault address.Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer

Slim down the do_exception function to handle only the fast path of a

notify_page_fault does a preempt_disable/preempt_enable for each
fault generated by a kernel access to user space. If kprobes
is not active that is unnecessary since the interrupts are not
reenabled yet. To play safe repeat the kprobe_running check after
preempt_disable().Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and
s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values:
1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0
2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0
3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1
They get replaced by
1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE
2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE
3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE
The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets
you choose the address space mode the user space processes should
use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option
is removed.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
-
A data access in access-register mode always is a user mode access,
the code to inspect the access-registers can be removed. The second
change is to use a different test to check for no-execute fault.
The third change is to pass the translation exception identification
as parameter, in theory the trans_exc_code in the lowcore could have
been overwritten by the time the call to check_space from do_no_context
is done.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

When the kernel is IPLed without the CLEAR option and switches
to 64-bit, the high-order half of the registers might contain
random values. This can cause addressing exceptions and the
kernel enters an interrupt loop.Initialize the high-order half of the general purpose registers
with zeros after switching to 64-bit mode.Cc:

This patch corrects the checking of the new address for the prefix register.
On s390, the prefix register is used to address the cpu's lowcore (address
0...8k). This check is supposed to verify that the memory is readable and
present.
copy_from_guest is a helper function, that can be used to read from guest
memory. It applies prefixing, adds the start address of the guest memory in
user, and then calls copy_from_user. Previous code was obviously broken for
two reasons:
- prefixing should not be applied here. The current prefix register is
going to be updated soon, and the address we're looking for will be
0..8k after we've updated the register
- we're adding the guest origin (gmsor) twice: once in subject code
and once in copy_from_guestWith kuli, we did not hit this problem because (a) we were lucky with
previous prefix register content, and (b) our guest memory was mmaped
very low into user address space.Cc: stable@kernel.org

X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization
extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for
users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB
entries (svm).Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module
is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking
other VMMs.To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on
demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead
virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine
and disabled on destruction of the last one.So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other
hypervisors usable.Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf

Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request. So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases. The patch fixes this.The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op. Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.Signed-off-by: Ilya Loginov
