There are only two uaccess variants on s390 left: the version that is used if the mvcos instruction is available, and the page table walk variant. So there is no need for expensive indirect function calls. By default the mvcos variant will be called. If the mvcos instruction is not available it will call the page table walk variant. For minimal performance impact the "if (mvcos_is_available)" is implemented with a jump label, which will be a six byte nop on machines with mvcos. Signed-off-by:

For some unknown reason the indirect uaccess functions on s390 implement a different parameter order than what is usual. e.g.: unsigned long copy_to_user(void *to, const void *from, unsigned long n); vs. size_t (*copy_to_user)(size_t n, void __user * to, const void *from); Let's get rid of this confusing parameter reordering.

access_ok() always returns 'true' on s390. Therefore all calls are quite pointless and can be removed. Signed-off-by:

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless. Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly different statements and wanted to change them one after another whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template for new files. So unify all of them in one go. Signed-off-by:

Setting the cpu restart parameters is done in three different fashions: - directly setting the four parameters individually - copying the four parameters with memcpy (using 4 * sizeof(long)) - copying the four parameters using a private structure In addition code in entry*.S relies on a certain order of the restart members of struct _lowcore. Make all of this more robust to future changes by adding a mem_absolute_assign(dest, val) define, which assigns val to dest using absolute addressing mode. Also the load multiple instructions in entry*.S have been split into separate load instruction so the order of the struct _lowcore members doesn't matter anymore. In addition move the prototypes of memcpy_real/absolute from uaccess.h to processor.h. These memcpy* variants are not related to uaccess at all. string.h doesn't seem to match as well, so lets use processor.h. Also replace the eight byte array in struct _lowcore which represents a misaliged u64 with a u64. The compiler will always create code that handles the misaligned u64 correctly. Signed-off-by:

On s390 access_ok is a macro which discards all parameters and always returns 1. This can result in compile warnings which warn about unused variables like this: fs/read_write.c: In function 'rw_copy_check_uvector': fs/read_write.c:684:16: warning: unused variable 'buf' [-Wunused-variable] Fix this by adding a __range_ok() function which consumes all parameters but still always returns 1.

This patch introduces the new function memcpy_absolute() that allows to copy memory using absolute addressing. This means that the prefix swap does not apply when this function is used. With this patch also all s390 kernel code that accesses absolute zero now uses the new memcpy_absolute() function. The old and less generic copy_to_absolute_zero() function is removed. Signed-off-by:

The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT. This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue by running fault_in_user_writeable(). This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the original value through a reference argument.

The pagetable walk usercopy functions have used a modified copy of the do_exception() function for fault handling. This lead to inconsistencies with recent changes to do_exception(), e.g. performance counters. This patch changes the pagetable walk usercopy code to call do_exception() directly, eliminating the redundancy. A new parameter is added to do_exception() to specify the fault address.

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. Signed-off-by:

Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps as well. The atomic ops, bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc is used. That results in slightly better code. Thanks to Christian Borntraeger for proof reading the changes.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history, even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about 3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good infrastructure for it. Let it rip!
