* [S390] Mark kernel text section read-only.Heiko Carstens2007-02-055-11/+31
| | | | | | | | | | | 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 Carstens2007-02-0521-609/+598
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | This is an extension of the already existing hypfs for LPAR (DIAG 204). Data returned by DIAG 2fc is exported using the s390_hypfs when Linux is running under z/VM. Information about cpus and memory is provided. Data is put into different virtual files which can be accessed from user space.

* [S390] Support for s390 Pseudo Random Number GeneratorJan Glauber2007-02-056-0/+230
| | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Schwidefsky2007-02-0513-109/+1488
| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Schaefer2007-02-0528-115/+913
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The initialization of the dasd_eer code is one of the last steps of the dasd driver initialization. When initialization fails in one of the earlier steps, the dasd_exit function is called to clean up what has been done so far. So the dasd_eer_exit function may be called, although the dasd_eer_init function wasn't called before and dasd_eer_exit tries to unregister a misc device that wasn't registered, which results in a BUG. Make sure that dasd_eer_exit can be called without initialization. Use a dynamically allocated struct miscdevice instead of a static one, so we only try to unregister the device if it exists and was actually registered.

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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | sd_probe() calls class_device_add() even before initializing the sdkp->device variable. class_device_add() eventually results in the user mode udev program to be called. udev program can read the the allow_restart attribute of the newly created scsi device. This is resulting in a crash as the show function for allow_restart (i.e sd_show_allow_restart) returns the attribute value by reading the sdkp->device->allow_restart variable. As the sdkp->device is not initialized before calling the user mode hotplug helper, this results in a crash. The patch below solves it by calling class_device_add() only after the necessary fields in the scsi_disk structure are initialized properly.

* | [PATCH] kexec: Avoid migration of already disabled irqs (ia64)Magnus Damm2007-02-031-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes up ia64 kexec support for HP rx2620 hardware. It does this by skipping migration of already disabled irqs. This is most likely a problem on other ia64 platforms as well, but I've only been able to reproduce it on one machine so far. The full story is that handle_bad_irq() gets invoked before starting the new kernel without this patch. This seems to happen when fixup_irqs() calls generic_handle_irq() on already migrated (and disabled) irqs. So by avoiding migration of disabled irqs we stay away of handle_bad_irq(). The code has been tested on three different ia64 machines, all with good results. It is possible to trigger the same bug by offlining a processor using echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online.
