f50c0e6371 s390: opt into HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS
This the s390 version of commit c1bd55f922 ("x86: opt into
HAVE_COPY_THREAD_TLS, for both 32-bit and 64-bit").

Simply use the tls system call argument instead of extracting the tls
argument by magic from the pt_regs structure.

See commit 3033f14ab7 ("clone: support passing tls argument via C
rather than pt_regs magic") for more background.

b5a882fcf1 s390: restore address space when returning to user space
Unbalanced set_fs usages (e.g. early exit from a function and a
forgotten set_fs(USER_DS) call) may lead to a situation where the
secondary asce is the kernel space asce when returning to user
space. This would allow user space to modify kernel space at will.

This would only be possible with the above mentioned kernel bug,
however we can detect this and fix the secondary asce before returning
to user space.

Therefore a new TIF_ASCE_SECONDARY which is used within set_fs. When
returning to user space check if TIF_ASCE_SECONDARY is set, which
would indicate a bug. If it is set print a message to the console,
fixup the secondary asce, and then return to user space.

This is similar to what is being discussed for x86 and arm:
"[RFC] syscalls: Restore address limit after a syscall".

3994a52b54 s390: kernel: Audit and remove any unnecessary uses of module.h
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.

3f6813b9a5 s390/fpu: allocate 'struct fpu' with the task_struct
Analog to git commit 0c8c0f03e3
"x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'"
move the struct fpu to the end of the struct thread_struct,
set CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT and add the
setup_task_size() function to calculate the correct size
fo the task struct.

For the performance_defconfig this increases the size of
struct task_struct from 7424 bytes to 7936 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==1)
or 7552 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==0). The dynamic allocation of the
struct fpu is removed. The slab cache uses an 8KB block for the
task struct in all cases, there is enough room for the struct fpu.
For MACHINE_HAS_VX==1 each task now needs 512 bytes less memory.

c7e8b2c21c s390: avoid cache aliasing under z/VM and KVM
commit 1f6b83e5e4 ("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.

b5510d9b68 s390/fpu: always enable the vector facility if it is available
If the kernel detects that the s390 hardware supports the vector
facility, it is enabled by default at an early stage.  To force
it off, use the novx kernel parameter.  Note that there is a small
time window, where the vector facility is enabled before it is
forced to be off.

With enabling the vector facility by default, the FPU save and
restore functions can be improved.  They do not longer require
to manage expensive control register updates to enable or disable
the vector enablement control for particular processes.

9977e886cb s390/kernel: lazy restore fpu registers
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.

The FPC_VALID_MASK has been used to check the validity of the value
to be loaded into the floating-point-control register. With the
introduction of the floating-point extension facility and the

to be checked in a non straight forward way. So far these bits have
been ignored which can cause an incorrect results for decimal-
floating-point operations, e.g. an incorrect rounding mode to be
set after signal return.

The static check with the FPC_VALID_MASK is replaced with a trial
load of the floating-point-control value, see test_fp_ctl.

In addition an information leak with the padding word between the
floating-point-control word and the floating-point registers in
the s390_fp_regs is fixed.

e4b8b3f33f s390: add support for runtime instrumentation
Allow user-space threads to use runtime instrumentation (RI). To enable RI
for a thread there is a new s390 specific system call, sys_s390_runtime_instr,
that takes as parameter a realtime signal number. If the RI facility is
available the system call sets up a control block for the calling thread with
the appropriate permissions for the thread to modify the control block.

The user-space thread can then use the store and modify RI instructions to
alter the control block and start/stop the instrumentation via RION/RIOFF.

If the user specified program buffer runs full RI triggers an external
interrupt. The external interrupt is translated to a real-time signal that
is delivered to the thread that enabled RI on that CPU. The number of
the real-time signal is the number specified in the RI system call. So,
user-space can select any available real-time signal number in case the
application itself uses real-time signals for other purposes.

The kernel saves the RI control blocks on task switch only if the running
thread was enabled for RI. Therefore, the performance impact on task switch
should be negligible if RI is not used.

RI is only enabled for user-space mode and is disabled for the supervisor
state.

27f6b41662 s390/vtimer: rework virtual timer interface
The current virtual timer interface is inherently per-cpu and hard to
use. The sole user of the interface is appldata which uses it to execute
a function after a specific amount of cputime has been used over all cpus.

Rework the virtual timer interface to hook into the cputime accounting.
This makes the interface independent from the CPU timer interrupts, and
makes the virtual timers global as opposed to per-cpu.
Overall the code is greatly simplified. The downside is that the accuracy
is not as good as the original implementation, but it is still good enough
for appldata.

a53c8fab3f s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names
Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

4c1051e37a [S390] rework idle code
Whenever the cpu loads an enabled wait PSW it will appear as idle to the
underlying host system. The code in default_idle calls vtime_stop_cpu
which does the necessary voodoo to get the cpu time accounting right.
The udelay code just loads an enabled wait PSW. To correct this rework
the vtime_stop_cpu/vtime_start_cpu logic and move the difficult parts
to entry[64].S, vtime_stop_cpu can now be called from anywhere and
vtime_start_cpu is gone. The correction of the cpu time during wakeup
from an enabled wait PSW is done with a critical section in entry[64].S.
As vtime_start_cpu is gone, s390_idle_check can be removed as well.

f3612304ee [S390] idle: avoid RCU usage in extended quiescent state
Avoid calling wake_up() from our NMI "bottom halve" from RCU extended
quiescent state in idle. wake_up() has RCU read-side critical sections
but this will be completely ignored by RCU if the cpu is in extended
quiescent state.
Which means that whatever object is being accessed from within the
read-side critical section can be freed concurrently from a different
cpu.
So make sure we leave extended quiescent state before calling wake_up().

1268fbc746 nohz: Remove tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() / tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu()
Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.

Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

2bbb6817c0 nohz: Allow rcu extended quiescent state handling seperately from tick stop
It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.

To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().

If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().

Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:

- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.

280f06774a nohz: Separate out irq exit and idle loop dyntick logic
The tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() function, which tries to delay
the next timer tick as long as possible, can be called from two
places:

- From the idle loop to start the dytick idle mode
- From interrupt exit if we have interrupted the dyntick
idle mode, so that we reprogram the next tick event in
case the irq changed some internal state that requires this
action.

There are only few minor differences between both that
are handled by that function, driven by the ts->inidle
cpu variable and the inidle parameter. The whole guarantees
that we only update the dyntick mode on irq exit if we actually
interrupted the dyntick idle mode, and that we enter in RCU extended
quiescent state from idle loop entry only.

Split this function into:

- tick_nohz_idle_enter(), which sets ts->inidle to 1, enters
dynticks idle mode unconditionally if it can, and enters into RCU
extended quiescent state.

- tick_nohz_irq_exit() which only updates the dynticks idle mode
when ts->inidle is set (ie: if tick_nohz_idle_enter() has been called).

To maintain symmetry, tick_nohz_restart_sched_tick() has been renamed
into tick_nohz_idle_exit().

This simplifies the code and micro-optimize the irq exit path (no need
for local_irq_save there). This also prepares for the split between
dynticks and rcu extended quiescent state logics. We'll need this split to
further fix illegal uses of RCU in extended quiescent states in the idle
loop.

d7627467b7 Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer
Make do_execve() take a const filename pointer so that kernel_execve() compiles
correctly on ARM:

arch/arm/kernel/sys_arm.c:88: warning: passing argument 1 of 'do_execve' discards qualifiers from pointer target type

This also requires the argv and envp arguments to be consted twice, once for
the pointer array and once for the strings the array points to.  This is
because do_execve() passes a pointer to the filename (now const) to
copy_strings_kernel().  A simpler alternative would be to cast the filename
pointer in do_execve() when it's passed to copy_strings_kernel().

do_execve() may not change any of the strings it is passed as part of the argv
or envp lists as they are some of them in .rodata, so marking these strings as
const should be fine.

Further kernel_execve() and sys_execve() need to be changed to match.

This has been test built on x86_64, frv, arm and mips.

5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

9e74a6b898 [S390] kernel: show last breaking-event-address on oops
Newer s390 models have a breaking-event-address-recording register.
Each time an instruction causes a break in the sequential instruction
execution, the address is saved in that hardware register. On a program
interrupt the address is copied to the lowcore address 272-279, which
makes it software accessible.

This patch changes the program check handler and the stack overflow
checker to copy the value into the pt_regs argument.
The oops output is enhanced to show the last known breaking address.
It might give additional information if the stack trace is corrupted.

The feature is only available on 64 bit.

The new oops output looks like:

 2) Add back fs.h or less bloated headers (err.h) to files that need it.

dce554708c [S390] s390: rename CPU_IDLE to S390_CPU_IDLE
sched-cfs-v2.6.22-git-v18.patch introduces CPU_IDLE in sched.h.
This conflict with the already existing define in
include/asm-s390/processor.h
Just rename the s390 defines, since they will go away as soon as
we support CONFIG_NO_HZ instead of our own CONFIG_NO_IDLE_HZ.

e63340ae6b header cleaning: don't include smp_lock.h when not used
Remove includes of <linux/smp_lock.h> where it is not used/needed.
Suggested by Al Viro.

Builds cleanly on x86_64, i386, alpha, ia64, powerpc, sparc,
sparc64, and arm (all 59 defconfigs).

03ff9a235a [S390] System call cleanup.
Remove system call glue for sys_clone, sys_fork, sys_vfork, sys_execve,
sys_sigreturn, sys_rt_sigreturn and sys_sigaltstack. Call do_execve from
kernel_execve directly, move pt_regs to the right place and branch to
sysc_return to start the user space program. This removes the last
in-kernel system call.

c1821c2e97 [S390] noexec protection
This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does
not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a
different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing
mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data.

As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate
page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses
(storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is
used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the
data addresses.
The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer
in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that
contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really
private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU
list).
Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into
both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of
a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the
data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a
page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV
with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn)
and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the
kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return
mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the
exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored
behind the signal stack frame.

This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space
mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing
modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works
for user space.
After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs
instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new
mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows
to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the
page tables need to be walked manually.
