      s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names · a53c8fab
      Heiko Carstens authored
      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.

      s390/smp: make absolute lowcore / cpu restart parameter accesses more robust · fbe76568
      Heiko Carstens authored
      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.

      futex: Sanitize futex ops argument types · 8d7718aa
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      Change futex_atomic_op_inuser and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic
      prototypes to use u32 types for the futex as this is the data type the
      futex core code uses all over the place.

      futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API · 37a9d912
      Michel Lespinasse authored
      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.

      [S390] noexec protection · c1821c2e
      Gerald Schaefer authored
      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.

      [S390] Inline assembly cleanup. · 94c12cc7
      Martin Schwidefsky authored
      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.

      Linux-2.6.12-rc2 · 1da177e4
      Linus Torvalds authored
      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!
