5c50538752 s390/disassembler: add missing end marker for e7 table
The e7 opcode table does not have an end marker. Hence when trying to
find an unknown e7 instruction the code will access memory behind the
table until it finds something that matches the opcode, or the kernel
crashes, whatever comes first.

This affects not only the in-kernel disassembler but also uprobes and
kprobes which refuse to set a probe on unknown instructions, and
therefore search the opcode tables to figure out if instructions are
known or not.

b96f7d881a s390/spinlock: introduce spinlock wait queueing
The queued spinlock code for s390 follows the principles of the common
code qspinlock implementation but with a few notable differences.

The format of the spinlock_t locking word differs, s390 needs to store
the logical CPU number of the lock holder in the spinlock_t to be able
to use the diagnose 9c directed yield hypervisor call.

The inline code sequences for spin_lock and spin_unlock are nice and
short. The inline portion of a spin_lock now typically looks like this:

	lhi	%r0,0			# 0 indicates an empty lock
	l	%r1,0x3a0		# CPU number + 1 from lowcore
	cs	%r0,%r1,<some_lock>	# lock operation
	jnz	call_wait		# on failure call wait function
locked:
	...
call_wait:
	la	%r2,<some_lock>
	brasl	%r14,arch_spin_lock_wait
	j	locked

A spin_unlock is as simple as before:

	lhi	%r0,0
	sth	%r0,2(%r2)		# unlock operation

After a CPU has queued itself it may not enable interrupts again for the
arch_spin_lock_flags() variant. The arch_spin_lock_wait_flags wait function
is removed.

To improve performance the code implements opportunistic lock stealing.
If the wait function finds a spinlock_t that indicates that the lock is
free but there are queued waiters, the CPU may steal the lock up to three
times without queueing itself. The lock stealing update the steal counter
in the lock word to prevent more than 3 steals. The counter is reset at
the time the CPU next in the queue successfully takes the lock.

While the queued spinlocks improve performance in a system with dedicated
CPUs, in a virtualized environment with continuously overcommitted CPUs
the queued spinlocks can have a negative effect on performance. This
is due to the fact that a queued CPU that is preempted by the hypervisor
will block the queue at some point even without holding the lock. With
the classic spinlock it does not matter if a CPU is preempted that waits
for the lock. Therefore use the queued spinlock code only if the system
runs with dedicated CPUs and fall back to classic spinlocks when running
with shared CPUs.

5ef2d5231d s390/ptrace: fix guarded storage regset handling
If the guarded storage regset for current is supposed to be changed,
the regset from user space is copied directly into the guarded storage
control block.

If then the process gets scheduled away while the control block is
being copied and before the new control block has been loaded, the
result is random: the process can be scheduled away due to a page
fault or preemption. If that happens the already copied parts will be
overwritten by save_gs_cb(), called from switch_to().

Avoid this by copying the data to a temporary buffer on the stack and
do the actual update with preemption disabled.

possible use-after-free bug. If a task that makes use of GS exits, it
will execute do_exit() while still enabled for preemption.

That function will call exit_thread_runtime_instr() via exit_thread().
If exit_thread_gs() gets preempted after the GS control block of the
task has been freed but before the pointer to it is set to NULL, then
save_gs_cb(), called from switch_to(), will write to already freed
memory.

Avoid this and simply disable preemption while freeing the control
block and setting the pointer to NULL.

1b25fda053 s390/topology: alternative topology for topology-less machines
If running on machines that do not provide topology information we
currently generate a "fake" topology which defines the maximum
distance between each cpu: each cpu will be put into an own drawer.

Historically this used to be the best option for (virtual) machines in
overcommited hypervisors.

For some workloads however it is better to generate a different
topology where all cpus are siblings within a package (all cpus are
core siblings). This shows performance improvements of up to 10%,
depending on the workload.

In order to keep the current behaviour, but also allow to switch to
the different core sibling topology use the existing "topology="
kernel parameter:

Specifying "topology=on" on machines without topology information will
generate the core siblings (fake) topology information, instead of the
default topology information where all cpus have the maximum distance.

On machines which provide topology information specifying
"topology=on" does not have any effect.

dd198ce714 Merge branch 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace
Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
 "Life has been busy and I have not gotten half as much done this round
  as I would have liked. I delayed it so that a minor conflict
  resolution with the mips tree could spend a little time in linux-next
  before I sent this pull request.

  This includes two long delayed user namespace changes from Kirill
  Tkhai. It also includes a very useful change from Serge Hallyn that
  allows the security capability attribute to be used inside of user
  namespaces. The practical effect of this is people can now untar
  tarballs and install rpms in user namespaces. It had been suggested to
  generalize this and encode some of the namespace information
  information in the xattr name. Upon close inspection that makes the
  things that should be hard easy and the things that should be easy
  more expensive.

  Then there is my bugfix/cleanup for signal injection that removes the
  magic encoding of the siginfo union member from the kernel internal
  si_code. The mips folks reported the case where I had used FPE_FIXME
  me is impossible so I have remove FPE_FIXME from mips, while at the
  same time including a return statement in that case to keep gcc from
  complaining about unitialized variables.

  I almost finished the work to get make copy_siginfo_to_user a trivial
  copy to user. The code is available at:

     git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git neuter-copy_siginfo_to_user-v3

  But I did not have time/energy to get the code posted and reviewed
  before the merge window opened.

  I was able to see that the security excuse for just copying fields
  that we know are initialized doesn't work in practice there are buggy
  initializations that don't initialize the proper fields in siginfo. So
  we still sometimes copy unitialized data to userspace"

3f4298427a s390/vmcp: make use of contiguous memory allocator
If memory is fragmented it is unlikely that large order memory
allocations succeed. This has been an issue with the vmcp device
driver since a long time, since it requires large physical contiguous
memory ares for large responses.

To hopefully resolve this issue make use of the contiguous memory
allocator (cma). This patch adds a vmcp specific vmcp cma area with a
default size of 4MB. The size can be changed either via the
VMCP_CMA_SIZE config option at compile time or with the "vmcp_cma"
kernel parameter (e.g. "vmcp_cma=16m").

For any vmcp response buffers larger than 16k memory from the cma area
will be allocated. If such an allocation fails, there is a fallback to
the buddy allocator.

6e2ef5e4f6 s390/time: add support for the TOD clock epoch extension
The TOD epoch extension adds 8 epoch bits to the TOD clock to provide
a continuous clock after 2042/09/17. The store-clock-extended (STCKE)
instruction will store the epoch index in the first byte of the
16 bytes stored by the instruction. The read_boot_clock64 and the
read_presistent_clock64 functions need to take the additional bits
into account to give the correct result after 2042/09/17.

The clock-comparator register will stay 64 bit wide. The comparison
of the clock-comparator with the TOD clock is limited to bytes
1 to 8 of the extended TOD format. To deal with the overflow problem
due to an epoch change the clock-comparator sign control in CR0 can
be used to switch the comparison of the 64-bit TOD clock with the
clock-comparator to a signed comparison.

The decision between the signed vs. unsigned clock-comparator
comparisons is done at boot time. Only if the TOD clock is in the
second half of a 142 year epoch the signed comparison is used.
This solves the epoch overflow issue as long as the machine is
booted at least once in an epoch.

The ESSA instruction has a new option that allows to tag pages that

assume that any guest page could be used in a page table inside the

whenever a host page table entry is invalidated. With the tag
the host can skip the TLB flush if the page is tagged as normal page.

cc731525f2 signal: Remove kernel interal si_code magic
struct siginfo is a union and the kernel since 2.4 has been hiding a union
tag in the high 16bits of si_code using the values:
__SI_KILL
__SI_TIMER
__SI_POLL
__SI_FAULT
__SI_CHLD
__SI_RT
__SI_MESGQ
__SI_SYS

While this looks plausible on the surface, in practice this situation has
not worked well.

- Injected positive signals are not copied to user space properly
  unless they have these magic high bits set.

- Injected positive signals are not reported properly by signalfd
  unless they have these magic high bits set.

- These kernel internal values leaked to userspace via ptrace_peek_siginfo

- It was possible to inject these kernel internal values and cause the
  the kernel to misbehave.

- Kernel developers got confused and expected these kernel internal values
  in userspace in kernel self tests.

- Kernel developers got confused and set si_code to __SI_FAULT which
  is SI_USER in userspace which causes userspace to think an ordinary user
  sent the signal and that it was not kernel generated.

- The values make it impossible to reorganize the code to transform
  siginfo_copy_to_user into a plain copy_to_user.  As si_code must
  be massaged before being passed to userspace.

So remove these kernel internal si codes and make the kernel code simpler
and more maintainable.

To replace these kernel internal magic si_codes introduce the helper
function siginfo_layout, that takes a signal number and an si_code and
computes which union member of siginfo is being used.  Have
siginfo_layout return an enumeration so that gcc will have enough
information to warn if a switch statement does not handle all of union
members.

A couple of architectures have a messed up ABI that defines signal
specific duplications of SI_USER which causes more special cases in
siginfo_layout than I would like.  The good news is only problem
architectures pay the cost.

Update all of the code that used the previous magic __SI_ values to
use the new SIL_ values and to call siginfo_layout to get those
values.  Escept where not all of the cases are handled remove the
defaults in the switch statements so that if a new case is missed in
the future the lack will show up at compile time.

Modify the code that copies siginfo si_code to userspace to just copy
the value and not cast si_code to a short first.  The high bits are no
longer used to hold a magic union member.

Fixup the siginfo header files to stop including the __SI_ values in
their constants and for the headers that were missing it to properly
update the number of si_codes for each signal type.

The fixes to copy_siginfo_from_user32 implementations has the
interesting property that several of them perviously should never have
worked as the __SI_ values they depended up where kernel internal.
With that dependency gone those implementations should work much
better.

The idea of not passing the __SI_ values out to userspace and then
not reinserting them has been tested with criu and criu worked without
changes.

203e9e4121 kexec: move vmcoreinfo out of the kernel's .bss section
As Eric said,
 "what we need to do is move the variable vmcoreinfo_note out of the
  kernel's .bss section. And modify the code to regenerate and keep this
  information in something like the control page.

  Definitely something like this needs a page all to itself, and ideally
  far away from any other kernel data structures. I clearly was not
  watching closely the data someone decided to keep this silly thing in
  the kernel's .bss section."

This patch allocates extra pages for these vmcoreinfo_XXX variables, one
advantage is that it enhances some safety of vmcoreinfo, because
vmcoreinfo now is kept far away from other kernel data structures.

 "This update is primarily a cleanup of the CPU hotplug locking code.

  The hotplug locking mechanism is an open coded RWSEM, which allows

  as it evades the full lockdep coverage and hides potential deadlocks.

  The rework replaces the open coded RWSEM with a percpu RWSEM and
  establishes full lockdep coverage that way.

  The bulk of the changes fix up recursive locking issues and address
  the now fully reported potential deadlocks all over the place. Some of
  these deadlocks have been observed in the RT tree, but on mainline the

da72ca4d40 KVM: s390: Backup the guest's machine check info
When a machine check happens in the guest, related mcck info (mcic,
external damage code, ...) is stored in the vcpu's lowcore on the host.
Then the machine check handler's low-level part is executed, followed
by the high-level part.

If the high-level part's execution is interrupted by a new machine check
happening on the same vcpu on the host, the mcck info in the lowcore is
overwritten with the new machine check's data.

If the high-level part's execution is scheduled to a different cpu,
the mcck info in the lowcore is uncertain.

Therefore, for both cases, the further reinjection to the guest will use
the wrong data.
Let's backup the mcck info in the lowcore to the sie page
for further reinjection, so that the right data will be used.

Add new member into struct sie_page to store related machine check's
info of mcic, failing storage address and external damage code.

4130b28f56 s390/ipl: revert Load Normal semantics for LPAR CCW-type re-IPL
This reverts the two commits

7afbeb6df2aa ("s390/ipl: always use load normal for CCW-type re-IPL")
0f7451ff3ab8 ("s390/ipl: use load normal for LPAR re-ipl")

The two commits did not take into account that behavior of standby
memory changes fundamentally if the re-IPL method is changed from
Load Clear to Load Normal.

In case of the old re-IPL clear method all memory that was initially
in standby state will be put into standby state again within the
re-IPL process. Or in other words: memory that was brought online
before a re-IPL will be offline again after a reboot.

Given that we use different re-IPL methods depending on the hypervisor
and CCW-type vs SCSI re-IPL it is not easy to tell in advance when and
why memory will stay online or will be offline after a re-IPL.
This does also have other side effects, since memory that is online
from the beginning will be in ZONE_NORMAL by default vs ZONE_MOVABLE
for memory that is offline.

Therefore, before the change, a user could online and offline memory
easily since standby memory was always in ZONE_NORMAL.  After the
change, and a re-IPL, this depended on which memory parts were online
before the re-IPL.

From a usability point of view the current behavior is more than
suboptimal. Therefore revert these changes until we have a better
solution and get back to a consistent behavior. The bad thing about
this is that the time required for a re-IPL will be significantly
increased for configurations with several 100GB or 1TB of memory.

23fefe119c s390/kvm: avoid global config of vm.alloc_pgste=1
The system control vm.alloc_pgste is used to control the size of the
page tables, either 2K or 4K. The idea is that a KVM host sets the
vm.alloc_pgste control to 1 which causes *all* new processes to run
with 4K page tables. For a non-kvm system the control should stay off
to save on memory used for page tables.

Trouble is that distributions choose to set the control globally to
be able to run KVM guests. This wastes memory on non-KVM systems.

Introduce the PT_S390_PGSTE ELF segment type to "mark" the qemu
executable with it. All executables with this (empty) segment in
its ELF phdr array will be started with 4K page tables. Any executable
without PT_S390_PGSTE will run with the default 2K page tables.

This removes the need to set vm.alloc_pgste=1 for a KVM host and
minimizes the waste of memory for page tables.

a752598254 s390: rename struct psw_bits members
Rename a couple of the struct psw_bits members so it is more obvious
for what they are good. Initially I thought using the single character
names from the PoP would be sufficient and obvious, but admittedly
that is not true.

The current implementation is not easy to use, if one has to look into
the source file to figure out which member represents the 'per' bit
(which is the 'r' member).

Therefore rename the members to sane names that are identical to the
uapi psw mask defines:

r -> per
i -> io
e -> ext
t -> dat
m -> mcheck
w -> wait
p -> pstate

space part of a psw with the psw_bits() macro can easily be confused
with the psw defines that are used to mask and compare directly the
mask part of a psw.
We have e.g. PSW_AS_PRIMARY vs PSW_ASC_PRIMARY.

To avoid confusion rename the PSW_AS_* enums to PSW_BITS_AS_*.

In addition also rename the PSW_AMODE_* enums, so they also follow the
same naming scheme: PSW_BITS_AMODE_*.

ead1dec8ed s390/ipl: revert Load Normal semantics for LPAR CCW-type re-IPL
This reverts the two commits

7afbeb6df2aa ("s390/ipl: always use load normal for CCW-type re-IPL")
0f7451ff3ab8 ("s390/ipl: use load normal for LPAR re-ipl")

The two commits did not take into account that behavior of standby
memory changes fundamentally if the re-IPL method is changed from
Load Clear to Load Normal.

In case of the old re-IPL clear method all memory that was initially
in standby state will be put into standby state again within the
re-IPL process. Or in other words: memory that was brought online
before a re-IPL will be offline again after a reboot.

Given that we use different re-IPL methods depending on the hypervisor
and CCW-type vs SCSI re-IPL it is not easy to tell in advance when and
why memory will stay online or will be offline after a re-IPL.
This does also have other side effects, since memory that is online
from the beginning will be in ZONE_NORMAL by default vs ZONE_MOVABLE
for memory that is offline.

Therefore, before the change, a user could online and offline memory
easily since standby memory was always in ZONE_NORMAL.  After the
change, and a re-IPL, this depended on which memory parts were online
before the re-IPL.

From a usability point of view the current behavior is more than
suboptimal. Therefore revert these changes until we have a better
solution and get back to a consistent behavior. The bad thing about
this is that the time required for a re-IPL will be significantly
increased for configurations with several 100GB or 1TB of memory.
