* [S390] Mark kernel text section read-only.Heiko Carstens2007-02-054-11/+29
| | | | | | | | | | | Set read-only flag in the page table entries for the kernel image text section. This will catch all instruction caused corruptions withing the text section. Instruction replacement via kprobes still works, since it bypasses now dynamic address translation.

* [S390] Convert memory detection into C code.Heiko Carstens2007-02-059-571/+467
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone. Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an early call to sort_main_extable(). This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of head[31|64].S into C code.

* [S390] Support for s390 Pseudo Random Number GeneratorJan Glauber2007-02-054-0/+216
| | | | | | | | | | | | Starting with the z9 the CPU Cryptographic Assist Facility comes with an integrated Pseudo Random Number Generator. The generator creates random numbers by an algorithm similar to the ANSI X9.17 standard. The pseudo-random numbers can be accessed via a character device driver node called /dev/prandom. Similar to /dev/urandom any amount of bytes can be read from the device without blocking.

* [S390] ETR support.Martin Schwidefsky2007-02-055-86/+1160
| | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details how to get the clock back in sync see the code below. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] noexec protectionGerald Schaefer2007-02-0516-61/+606
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [S390] cpcmd with vmalloc addresses.Christian Borntraeger2007-02-051-7/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Change the bounce buffer logic of cpcmd. diag8 needs _real_ memory below 2GB. Therefore vmalloced data does not work. As the data might cross a page boundary, we cannot use virt_to_page either. The solution is to use virt_to_page only in the check for a bounce buffer. There was a redundant check for response==NULL. response < 2GB contains this check as well. I also removed the rlen==0 check, since rlen=0 and response!=NULL would be a caller bug and response==NULL is already checked.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Reboot hangs on LPARs without diag308 support. The reason for this is, that before the reboot is done, the channel subsystem is shut down. During the reset on each possible subchannel a "store subchannel" is done. This operation can end in a program check interruption, if the specified subchannel set is not implemented by the hardware. During the reset, currently we do not have a program check handler, which leads to the described kernel bug. We install now a new program check handler for the reboot code to fix this problem.

Unlike ia64 we need a mechanism which allows us to dynamically attach shared memory regions. These memory regions are accessed via the dcss device driver. dcss implements the 'direct_access' operation, which requires struct pages for every single shared page. Therefore this implementation provides an interface to attach/detach shared memory: int add_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size); int remove_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size); The purpose of the add_shared_memory function is to add the given memory range to the 1:1 mapping and to make sure that the corresponding range in the vmemmap is backed with physical pages. It also initialises the new struct pages. remove_shared_memory in turn only invalidates the page table entries in the 1:1 mapping. The page tables and the memory used for struct pages in the vmemmap are currently not freed. They will be reused when the next segment will be attached. Given that the maximum size of a shared memory region is 2GB and in addition all regions must reside below 2GB this is not too much of a restriction, but there is room for improvement.

They treat negative numbers as unsigned. When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

* [PATCH] kprobes: enable booster on the preemptible kernelMasami Hiramatsu2006-12-071-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When we are unregistering a kprobe-booster, we can't release its instruction buffer immediately on the preemptive kernel, because some processes might be preempted on the buffer. The freeze_processes() and thaw_processes() functions can clean most of processes up from the buffer. There are still some non-frozen threads who have the PF_NOFREEZE flag. If those threads are sleeping (not preempted) at the known place outside the buffer, we can ensure safety of freeing. However, the processing of this check routine takes a long time. So, this patch introduces the garbage collection mechanism of insn_slot. It also introduces the "dirty" flag to free_insn_slot because of efficiency. The "clean" instruction slots (dirty flag is cleared) are released immediately. But the "dirty" slots which are used by boosted kprobes, are marked as garbages. collect_garbage_slots() will be invoked to release "dirty" slots if there are more than INSNS_PER_PAGE garbage slots or if there are no unused slots.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Define elf_addr_t in linux/elf.h. The size of the type is determined using ELF_CLASS. This allows us to remove the defines that today are spread all over .c and .h files.

* [PATCH] mm: pagefault_{disable,enable}()Peter Zijlstra2006-12-071-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Introduce pagefault_{disable,enable}() and use these where previously we did manual preempt increments/decrements to make the pagefault handler do the atomic thing. Currently they still rely on the increased preempt count, but do not rely on the disabled preemption, this might go away in the future. (NOTE: the extra barrier() in pagefault_disable might fix some holes on machines which have too many registers for their own good) [heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com: s390 fix] Signed-off-by: Peter Zijlstra <a.p.zijlstra@chello.nl> Acked-by: Nick Piggin <npiggin@suse.de> Cc: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Andrew Morton <akpm@osdl.org> Signed-off-by: Linus Torvalds <torvalds@osdl.org>
* WorkQueue: Fix up arch-specific work items where possibleDavid Howells2006-12-051-3/+3
| | | | | | | | | | Fix up arch-specific work items where possible to use the new work_struct and delayed_work structs. Three places that enqueue bits of their stack and then return have been marked with #error as this is not permitted. Signed-Off-By: David Howells <dhowells@redhat.com>
* [S390] Don't use small stacks when lockdep is used.Heiko Carstens2006-12-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | The lock dependency validator adds a bunch of extra stack frames to the stack, which can cause stack overflows. Especially seen on 31 bit where the small stack is only 4k.

* [S390] Memory detection fixes.Heiko Carstens2006-12-043-24/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | VMALLOC_END on 31bit should be 0x8000000UL instead of 0x7fffffffL. The page mask which is used to make sure memory_end is on 4MB/2MB boundary is wrong and not needed. Therefore remove it. Make sure a vmalloc area does also exist and work on (future) machines with 4TB and more memory.

| | | | | | | | | | | Use a wrapper for copy_to/from_user to chose the best usercopy method. The mvcos instruction is better for sizes greater than 256 bytes, if mvcos is not available a page table walk is better for sizes greater than 1024 bytes. Also removed the redundant copy_to/from_user_std_small functions. Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer <geraldsc@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
