      s390/mm,tlb: optimize TLB flushing for zEC12 · 1b948d6c
      Martin Schwidefsky authored
      The zEC12 machines introduced the local-clearing control for the IDTE
      and IPTE instruction. If the control is set only the TLB of the local
      CPU is cleared of entries, either all entries of a single address space
      for IDTE, or the entry for a single page-table entry for IPTE.
      Without the local-clearing control the TLB flush is broadcasted to all
      CPUs in the configuration, which is expensive.
      
      The reset of the bit mask of the CPUs that need flushing after a
      non-local IDTE is tricky. As TLB entries for an address space remain
      in the TLB even if the address space is detached a new bit field is
      required to keep track of attached CPUs vs. CPUs in the need of a
      flush. After a non-local flush with IDTE the bit-field of attached CPUs
      is copied to the bit-field of CPUs in need of a flush. The ordering
      of operations on cpu_attach_mask, attach_count and mm_cpumask(mm) is
      such that an underindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is prevented but an
      overindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is possible.

      s390/mm,tlb: safeguard against speculative TLB creation · 02a8f3ab
      Martin Schwidefsky authored
      The principles of operations states that the CPU is allowed to create
      TLB entries for an address space anytime while an ASCE is loaded to
      the control register. This is true even if the CPU is running in the
      kernel and the user address space is not (actively) accessed.
      
      In theory this can affect two aspects of the TLB flush logic.
      For full-mm flushes the ASCE of the dying process is still attached.
      The approach to flush first with IDTE and then just free all page
      tables can in theory lead to stale TLB entries. Use the batched
      free of page tables for the full-mm flushes as well.
      
      For operations that can have a stale ASCE in the control register,
      e.g. a delayed update_user_asce in switch_mm, load the kernel ASCE
      to prevent invalid TLBs from being created.

      s390/irq: Use defines for external interruption codes · 1dad093b
      Thomas Huth authored
      Use the new defines for external interruption codes to get rid
      of "magic" numbers in the s390 source code. And while we're at it,
      also rename the (un-)register_external_interrupt function to
      something shorter so that this patch does not exceed the 80
      columns all over the place.

      Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens:
       "S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work.
      
        The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly
        compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero
        extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters.
        Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's
        COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
      
        Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have
        been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro.
      
        In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only
        have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters.
        Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to
        compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't
        cause any harm.
      
        The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit
        parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI
        haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture
        defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64.
      
        System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper
        zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will
        get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific
        COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro:
      
           COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk);
      
        which generates the following code (simplified):
      
           asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk);
           asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk)
           {
               return sys_brk((u32)brk);
           }
      
        Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines
        includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate
        build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if
        there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration.
      
        In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if
        somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably
        should have been used instead.  Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the
        size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled
        correctly with the s390 specific macros.
      
        I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the
        generated code is correct and matches the previous code.  In fact it
        did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand
        written asm code.
      
        In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking"

          of memory - Borislav Petkov

          keep EFI state, by Matt Fleming.
      
        - Add 'EFI mixed mode' support: this allows 64-bit kernels to be
          booted from 32-bit firmware.  This needs a bootloader that supports
          the 'EFI handover protocol'.  By Matt Fleming"

      Linus Torvalds authored
      Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro:
       "Switch mnt_hash to hlist, turning the races between __lookup_mnt() and
        hash modifications into false negatives from __lookup_mnt() (instead
        of hangs)"
      
      On the false negatives from __lookup_mnt():
       "The *only* thing we care about is not getting stuck in __lookup_mnt().
        If it misses an entry because something in front of it just got moved
        around, etc, we are fine.  We'll notice that mount_lock mismatch and
        that'll be it"
      
      * 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs:
        switch mnt_hash to hlist
        don't bother with propagate_mnt() unless the target is shared
        keep shadowed vfsmounts together
        resizable namespace.c hashes
