* [S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.Gerald Schaefer2007-03-052-6/+16
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched (kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space). Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than 0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory is accessed using the base register related to the access register, the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

| | | | | | | | | | | Reipl doesn't work on older machines were s390_reset_machine() gets called. The reason is that the text section is read-only but the variable dump_prefix_page is there. Since s390_reset_machine() writes to it we get a protection exception. Therefore move dump_prefix_page to the bss section.

| | | | | | | | | | Avoid sprinkling a _lot_ of preempt_disable/preempt_enable pairs. This would be necessary for e.g. the iucv driver.

* [S390] kprobes breaks BUG_ONMartin Schwidefsky2007-03-051-14/+7
| | | | | | | | | | | | The illegal operation handler calls the die notifier with DIE_BPT to let kprobes pick up its breakpoint. If kprobes does not find its breakpoint it returns NOTIFY_STOP instead of NOTIFY_DONE. Since we use stop_machine_run on s390 to arm/disarm the kprobes breakpoints the race that kprobe_handler tries to solve by checking for the kprobes breakpoints does not exist. Removing the check makes BUG_ON working again. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

* [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman2007-02-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | 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 Schaefer2007-02-059-48/+111
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Virtual memmap support for s390. Inspired by the ia64 implementation. 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.

* [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.
