s390: simplify disabled_wait

2019-05-02T11:54:11+00:00

The disabled_wait() function uses its argument as the PSW address when it stops the CPU with a wait PSW that is disabled for interrupts. The different callers sometimes use a specific number like 0xdeadbeef to indicate a specific failure, the early boot code uses 0 and some other calls sites use __builtin_return_address(0). At the time a dump is created the current PSW and the registers of a CPU are written to lowcore to make them avaiable to the dump analysis tool. For a CPU stopped with disabled_wait the PSW and the registers do not really make sense together, the PSW address does not point to the function the registers belong to. Simplify disabled_wait() by using _THIS_IP_ for the PSW address and drop the argument to the function. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/unwind: introduce stack unwind API

2019-05-02T11:54:11+00:00

Rework the dump_trace() stack unwinder interface to support different unwinding algorithms. The new interface looks like this: struct unwind_state state; unwind_for_each_frame(&state, task, regs, start_stack) do_something(state.sp, state.ip, state.reliable); The unwind_bc.c file contains the implementation for the classic back-chain unwinder. One positive side effect of the new code is it now handles ftraced functions gracefully. It prints the real name of the return function instead of 'return_to_handler'.

s390/kernel: add support for kernel address space layout randomization (KASLR)

2019-04-29T08:47:10+00:00

This patch adds support for relocating the kernel to a random address. The random kernel offset is obtained from cpacf, using either TRNG, PRNO, or KMC_PRNG, depending on supported MSA level. KERNELOFFSET is added to vmcoreinfo, for crash --kaslr support. Signed-off-by: Gerald Schaefer Reviewed-by: Philipp Rudo Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/kernel: introduce .dma sections

2019-04-29T08:47:10+00:00

With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, code and data that has to stay below 2 GB needs special handling. This patch introduces .dma sections for such text, data and ex_table. The sections will be part of the decompressor kernel, so they will not be relocated and stay below 2 GB. Their location is passed over to the decompressed / relocated kernel via the .boot.preserved.data section. The duald and aste for control register setup also need to stay below 2 GB, so move the setup code from arch/s390/kernel/head64.S to arch/s390/boot/head.S. The duct and linkage_stack could reside above 2 GB, but their content has to be preserved for the decompresed kernel, so they are also moved into the .dma section. The start and end address of the .dma sections is added to vmcoreinfo, for crash support, to help debugging in case the kernel crashed there.

s390: add support for virtually mapped kernel stacks

2018-10-09T09:20:57+00:00

With virtually mapped kernel stacks the kernel stack overflow detection is now fault based, every stack has a guard page in the vmalloc space. The panic_stack is renamed to nodat_stack and is used for all function that need to run without DAT, e.g. memcpy_real or do_start_kdump. The main effect is a reduction in the kernel image size as with vmap stacks the old style overflow checking that adds two instructions per function is not needed anymore. Result from bloat-o-meter: add/remove: 20/1 grow/shrink: 13/26854 up/down: 2198/-216240 (-214042) In regard to performance the micro-benchmark for fork has a hit of a few microseconds, allocating 4 pages in vmalloc space is more expensive compare to an order-2 page allocation. But with real workload I could not find a noticeable difference. Acked-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/ipl: correct kdump reipl block checksum calculation

2018-04-10T05:39:00+00:00

s390 kdump reipl implementation relies on os_info kernel structure residing in old memory being dumped. os_info contains reipl block, which is used (if valid) by the kdump kernel for reipl parameters. The problem is that the reipl block and its checksum inside os_info is updated only when /sys/firmware/reipl/reipl_type is written. This sets an offset of a reipl block for "reipl_type" and re-calculates reipl block checksum. Any further alteration of values under /sys/firmware/reipl/{reipl_type}/ without subsequent write to /sys/firmware/reipl/reipl_type lead to incorrect os_info reipl block checksum. In such a case kdump kernel ignores it and reboots using default logic. To fix this, os_info reipl block update is moved right before kdump execution.

s390: assume diag308 set always works

2018-04-10T05:38:59+00:00

diag308 set has been available for many machine generations, and alternative reipl code paths has not been exercised and seems to be broken without noticing for a while now. So, cleaning up all obsolete reipl methods except currently used ones, assuming that diag308 set always works. Also removing not longer needed reset callbacks.

s390/noexec: execute kexec datamover without DAT

2017-11-10T17:58:08+00:00

Rebooting into a new kernel with kexec fails (system dies) if tried on a machine that has no-execute support. Reason for this is that the so called datamover code gets executed with DAT on (MMU is active) and the page that contains the datamover is marked as non-executable. Therefore when branching into the datamover an unexpected program check happens and afterwards the machine is dead. This can be simply avoided by disabling DAT, which also disables any no-execute checks, just before the datamover gets executed. In fact the first thing done by the datamover is to disable DAT. The code in the datamover that disables DAT can be removed as well. Thanks to Michael Holzheu and Gerald Schaefer for tracking this down.

s390: remove named saved segment support

2017-11-08T08:47:54+00:00

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.
