* s390/mm: downgrade page table after fork of a 31 bit processMartin Schwidefsky2012-08-101-1/+13
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | commit 0f6f281b731d20bfe75c13f85d33f3f05b440222 upstream. The downgrade of the 4 level page table created by init_new_context is currently done only in start_thread31. If a 31 bit process forks the new mm uses a 4 level page table, including the task size of 2<<42 that goes along with it. This is incorrect as now a 31 bit process can map memory beyond 2GB. Define arch_dup_mmap to do the downgrade after fork.

* [S390] Remove data execution protectionMartin Schwidefsky2011-05-231-5/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case. Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines. The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been used to fetch the instruction. This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current noexec support.

* [S390] fix alloc_pgste check in init_new_contextMartin Schwidefsky2011-05-101-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Processes started with kernel_execve from a kernel thread will have current->mm==NULL. Reading current->mm->context.alloc_pgste will read a more or less random bit from lowcore in this case. If the bit turns out to be set the whole process tree started this way will allocate page table extensions although they have no need for it.

* [S390] fix tlb flushing vs. concurrent /proc accessesMartin Schwidefsky2010-08-241-0/+9
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The tlb flushing code uses the mm_users field of the mm_struct to decide if each page table entry needs to be flushed individually with IPTE or if a global flush for the mm_struct is sufficient after all page table updates have been done. The comment for mm_users says "How many users with user space?" but the /proc code increases mm_users after it found the process structure by pid without creating a new user process. Which makes mm_users useless for the decision between the two tlb flusing methods. The current code can be confused to not flush tlb entries by a concurrent access to /proc files if e.g. a fork is in progres. The solution for this problem is to make the tlb flushing logic independent from the mm_users field. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] Improve address space mode selection.Martin Schwidefsky2009-12-071-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapperRusty Russell2009-03-261-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask. It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer (the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).

* [S390] pgtables: Fix race in enable_sie vs. page table opsChristian Borntraeger2008-10-281-3/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The current enable_sie code sets the mm->context.pgstes bit to tell dup_mm that the new mm should have extended page tables. This bit is also used by the s390 specific page table primitives to decide about the page table layout - which means context.pgstes has two meanings. This can cause any kind of bugs. For example - e.g. shrink_zone can call ptep_clear_flush_young while enable_sie is running. ptep_clear_flush_young will test for context.pgstes. Since enable_sie changed that value of the old struct mm without changing the page table layout ptep_clear_flush_young will do the wrong thing. The solution is to split pgstes into two bits - one for the allocation - one for the current state Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
