s390/boot/vmlinux.lds.S: Ensure bzImage ends with SecureBoot trailer

2026-01-22T14:15:50+00:00

Since commit 3e86e4d74c04 ("kbuild: keep .modinfo section in vmlinux.unstripped") the .modinfo section which has SHF_ALLOC ends up in bzImage after the SecureBoot trailer. This breaks SecureBoot because the bootloader can no longer find the SecureBoot trailer with kernel's signature at the expected location in bzImage. To fix the bug, move discarded sections before the ELF_DETAILS macro and discard the .modinfo section which is not needed by the decompressor.

s390/boot: Use entire page for PTEs

2025-12-07T15:15:19+00:00

Make boot_pte_alloc() always allocate a full PAGE_SIZE page for PTE tables, instead of carving two 2K PTE tables out of a single 4K page, similar to commit daa8af80d283 ("s390/mm: Allocate page table with PAGE_SIZE granularity"). This mirrors the change in the vmem code and ensures that boot page tables backing the early KASAN shadow can later be fully freed by the vmem page-table teardown helpers (e.g. when unmapping early KASAN shadow on memory hotplug). The leftover-based allocation was originally added to reduce physmem allocator fragmentation when EDAT was disabled. On current hardware EDAT1 is available on all production systems, so the complexity is no longer justified and gets in the way of freeing the shadow mappings.

s390: Add stackprotector support

2025-11-24T10:45:21+00:00

Stackprotector support was previously unavailable on s390 because by default compilers generate code which is not suitable for the kernel: the canary value is accessed via thread local storage, where the address of thread local storage is within access registers 0 and 1. Using those registers also for the kernel would come with a significant performance impact and more complicated kernel entry/exit code, since access registers contents would have to be exchanged on every kernel entry and exit. With the upcoming gcc 16 release new compiler options will become available which allow to generate code suitable for the kernel. [1] Compiler option -mstack-protector-guard=global instructs gcc to generate stackprotector code that refers to a global stackprotector canary value via symbol __stack_chk_guard. Access to this value is guaranteed to occur via larl and lgrl instructions. Furthermore, compiler option -mstack-protector-guard-record generates a section containing all code addresses that reference the canary value. To allow for per task canary values the instructions which load the address of __stack_chk_guard are patched so they access a lowcore field instead: a per task canary value is available within the task_struct of each task, and is written to the per-cpu lowcore location on each context switch. Also add sanity checks and debugging option to be consistent with other kernel code patching mechanisms. Full debugging output can be enabled with the following kernel command line options: debug_stackprotector bootdebug ignore_loglevel earlyprintk dyndbg="file stackprotector.c +p" Example debug output: stackprot: 0000021e402d4eda: c010005a9ae3 -> c01f00070240 where ": -> ".

s390: Remove compat support

2025-11-17T10:10:38+00:00

There shouldn't be any 31 bit code around anymore that matters. Remove the compat layer support required to run 31 bit code. Reason for removal is code simplification and reduced test effort. Note that this comes without any deprecation warnings added to config options, or kernel messages, since most likely those would be ignored anyway. If it turns out there is still a reason to keep the compat layer this can be reverted at any time in the future. Reviewed-by: Arnd Bergmann Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens
