On a machine with 5-level paging support a process can allocate
significant amount of memory and stay unnoticed by oom-killer and memory
cgroup. The trick is to allocate a lot of PUD page tables. We don't
account PUD page tables, only PMD and PTE.
We already addressed the same issue for PMD page tables, see commit
dc6c9a35b6 ("mm: account pmd page tables to the process").
Introduction of 5-level paging brings the same issue for PUD page
tables.
The patch expands accounting to PUD level.

There are several bugs with control register handling with respect to
transactional execution:
- on task switch update_per_regs() is only called if the next task has
an mm (is not a kernel thread). This however is incorrect. This
breaks e.g. for user mode helper handling, where the kernel creates
a kernel thread and then execve's a user space program. Control
register contents related to transactional execution won't be
updated on execve. If the previous task ran with transactional
execution disabled then the new task will also run with
transactional execution disabled, which is incorrect. Therefore call
update_per_regs() unconditionally within switch_to().
- on startup the transactional execution facility is not enabled for
the idle thread. This is not really a bug, but an inconsistency to
other facilities. Therefore enable the facility if it is available.
- on fork the new thread's per_flags field is not cleared. This means
that a child process inherits the PER_FLAG_NO_TE flag. This flag can
be set with a ptrace request to disable transactional execution for
the current process. It should not be inherited by new child
processes in order to be consistent with the handling of all other
PER related debugging options. Therefore clear the per_flags field in
copy_thread_tls().

The current way of adding new instructions to the opcode tables is
painful and error prone. Therefore add, similar to binutils, a text
file which contains all opcodes and the corresponding mnemonics and
instruction formats.
A small gen_opcode_table tool then generates a header file with the
required enums and opcode table initializers at the prepare step of
the kernel build.
This way only a simple text file has to be maintained, which can be
rather easily extended.
Unlike before where there were plenty of opcode tables and a large
switch statement to find the correct opcode table, there is now only
one opcode table left which contains all instructions. A second opcode
offset table now contains offsets within the opcode table to find
instructions which have the same opcode prefix. In order to save space
all 1-byte opcode instructions are grouped together at the end of the
opcode table. This is also quite similar to like it was before.
In addition also move and change code and definitions within the
disassembler. As a side effect this reduces the size required for the
code and opcode tables by ~1.5k.

Remove the support to create a z/VM named saved segment (NSS). This
feature is not supported since quite a while in favour of jump labels,
function tracing and (now) CPU alternatives. All of these features
require to write to the kernel text section which is not possible if
the kernel is contained within an NSS.
Given that memory savings are minimal if kernel images are shared and
in addition updates of shared images are painful, the NSS feature can
be removed.

The reworked version of the random device driver now calls
the arch_get_random_* functions on a very high frequency.
It does about 100.000 calls to arch_get_random_long for
providing 10 MB via /dev/urandom. Each invocation was
fetching entropy from the hardware random generator which
has a rate limit of about 4 MB/s. As the trng invocation
waits until enough entropy is gathered, the random device
driver is slowed down dramatically.
The s390 true random generator is not designed for such
a high rate. The TRNG is more designed to be used together
with the arch_get_random_seed_* functions. This is similar
to the way how powerpc has implemented their arch random
functionality.
This patch removes the invocations of the s390 TRNG for
arch_get_random_long() and arch_get_random_int() but leaving
the invocations for arch_get_random_seed_long() and
arch_get_random_seed_int(). So the s390 arch random
implementation now contributes high quality entropy to
the kernel random device for reseeding.

As of today QEMU does not provide the AIS facility to its guest. This
prevents Linux guests from using PCI devices as the ais facility is
checked during init. As this is just a performance optimization, we can
move the ais check into the code where we need it (calling the SIC
instruction). This is used at initialization and on interrupt. Both
places do not require any serialization, so we can simply skip the
instruction.
Since we will now get all interrupts, we can also avoid the 2nd scan.
As we can have multiple interrupts in parallel we might trigger spurious
irqs more often for the non-AIS case but the core code can handle that.

Many user space API headers have licensing information, which is either
incomplete, badly formatted or just a shorthand for referring to the
license under which the file is supposed to be. This makes it hard for
compliance tools to determine the correct license.
Update these files with an SPDX license identifier. The identifier was
chosen based on the license information in the file.
GPL/LGPL licensed headers get the matching GPL/LGPL SPDX license
identifier with the added 'WITH Linux-syscall-note' exception, which is
the officially assigned exception identifier for the kernel syscall
exception:
NOTE! This copyright does *not* cover user programs that use kernel
services by normal system calls - this is merely considered normal use
of the kernel, and does *not* fall under the heading of "derived work".
This exception makes it possible to include GPL headers into non GPL
code, without confusing license compliance tools.
Headers which have either explicit dual licensing or are just licensed
under a non GPL license are updated with the corresponding SPDX
identifier and the GPLv2 with syscall exception identifier. The format
is:
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR SPDX-ID-OF-OTHER-LICENSE)
SPDX license identifiers are a legally binding shorthand, which can be
used instead of the full boiler plate text. The update does not remove
existing license information as this has to be done on a case by case
basis and the copyright holders might have to be consulted. This will
happen in a separate step.

intended. The user space API headers fall under the syscall exception
which is in the kernels COPYING file:

otherwise syscall usage would not be possible.
Update the files which contain no license information with an SPDX

Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the 'GPL-2.0'
SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally binding
shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart and
Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset of
the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to license
had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied to
a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of the
output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver) producing SPDX
tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne. Philippe prepared the
base worksheet, and did an initial spot review of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537 files
assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the scanner
results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license identifier(s)
to be applied to the file. She confirmed any determination that was not
immediately clear with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained >5
lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 270
GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 169
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-2-Clause) 21
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 17
LGPL-2.1+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 15
GPL-1.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 14
((GPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR BSD-3-Clause) 5
LGPL-2.0+ WITH Linux-syscall-note 4
LGPL-2.1 WITH Linux-syscall-note 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that became
the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected a
license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply (and
which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases, confirmation
by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights. The
Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in part, so
they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot checks
in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect the
correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial patch
version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch license
was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the applied
SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

Please do not apply this to mainline directly, instead please re-run the
coccinelle script shown below and apply its output.
For several reasons, it is desirable to use {READ,WRITE}_ONCE() in
preference to ACCESS_ONCE(), and new code is expected to use one of the
former. So far, there's been no reason to change most existing uses of
ACCESS_ONCE(), as these aren't harmful, and changing them results in

However, for some features, the read/write distinction is critical to
correct operation. To distinguish these cases, separate read/write

The validation of the CPU registers in the machine check handler is
currently split into two parts. The first part is done at the start
of the low level mcck_int_handler function, this includes the CPU
timer register and the general purpose registers.
The second part is done a bit later in s390_do_machine_check for all
the other registers, including the control registers, floating pointer
control, vector or floating pointer registers, the access registers,
the guarded storage registers, the TOD programmable registers and the
clock comparator.
This is working fine to far but in theory a future extensions could
cause the C code to use registers that are not validated yet. A better
approach is to validate all CPU registers in "safe" assembler code
before any C function is called.

The smp_send_stop() function can be called from s390_handle_damage
while DAT is off. This happens if a machine check indicates that
kernel gprs or control registers can not be restored. The function
smp_send_stop reenables DAT via __load_psw_mask. That should work
for the case of lost kernel gprs and the system will do the expected
stop of all CPUs. But if control registers are lost, in particular
CR13 with the home space ASCE, interesting secondary crashes may
occur.
Make smp_emergency_stop callable from nmi.c and remove the cpumask

Current implementation is derived from x86 alternatives. Although
ideal instructions padding (when altinstr is longer then oldinstr)
is added at compile time, and no oldinstr nops optimization has to be
done at runtime. Also couple of compile time sanity checks are done:
1. oldinstr and altinstr must be <= 254 bytes long,
2. oldinstr and altinstr must not have an odd length.
alternative(oldinstr, altinstr, facility);
alternative_2(oldinstr, altinstr1, facility1, altinstr2, facility2);
Both compile time and runtime padding consists of either 6/4/2 bytes nop
or a jump (brcl) + 2 bytes nop filler if padding is longer then 6 bytes.
.altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections are part of
__init_begin : __init_end region and are freed after initialization.

When grouping devices, the ccwgroup core only checks whether all of the

while ctcm and lcs currently have no sanity-checking at all.
Enable ccwgroup drivers to optionally defer the device type checking to

Like the common queued rwlock code the s390 implementation uses the
queued spinlock code on a spinlock_t embedded in the rwlock_t to achieve
the queueing. The encoding of the rwlock_t differs though, the counter
field in the rwlock_t is split into two parts. The upper two bytes hold
the write bit and the write wait counter, the lower two bytes hold the
read counter.
The arch_read_lock operation works exactly like the common qrwlock but
the enqueue operation for a writer follows a diffent logic. After the
failed inline try to get the rwlock in write, the writer first increases
the write wait counter, acquires the wait spin_lock for the queueing,
and then loops until there are no readers and the write bit is zero.
Without the write wait counter a CPU that just released the rwlock
could immediately reacquire the lock in the inline code, bypassing all
outstanding read and write waiters. For s390 this would cause massive
imbalances in favour of writers in case of a contended rwlock.
Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
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.
