* [S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.Gerald Schaefer2007-03-051-58/+47
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched (kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space). Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than 0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory is accessed using the base register related to the access register, the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

* [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman2007-02-141-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

So we'll just need to replace NO_IOPORT with NO_IOMEM in Kconfig and kill arch/s390/mm/ioremap.c. BTW, there's an annoying bit of junk in there - IO_SPACE_LIMIT. We only need it for /proc/ioports, which AFAICS shouldn't even be there on s390 (or uml).

* [S390] noexec protectionGerald Schaefer2007-02-053-12/+96
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Virtual memmap support for s390. Inspired by the ia64 implementation. Unlike ia64 we need a mechanism which allows us to dynamically attach shared memory regions. These memory regions are accessed via the dcss device driver. dcss implements the 'direct_access' operation, which requires struct pages for every single shared page. Therefore this implementation provides an interface to attach/detach shared memory: int add_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size); int remove_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size); The purpose of the add_shared_memory function is to add the given memory range to the 1:1 mapping and to make sure that the corresponding range in the vmemmap is backed with physical pages. It also initialises the new struct pages. remove_shared_memory in turn only invalidates the page table entries in the 1:1 mapping. The page tables and the memory used for struct pages in the vmemmap are currently not freed. They will be reused when the next segment will be attached. Given that the maximum size of a shared memory region is 2GB and in addition all regions must reside below 2GB this is not too much of a restriction, but there is room for improvement.

* [S390] revert add_active_range() usage patch.Heiko Carstens2006-11-061-10/+22
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Commit 7676bef9c183fd573822cac9992927ef596d584c breaks DCSS support on s390. DCSS needs initialized struct pages to work. With the usage of add_active_range() only the struct pages for physically present pages are initialized. This could be fixed if the DCSS driver would initiliaze the struct pages itself, but this doesn't work too. This is because the mem_map array does not include holes after the last present memory area and therefore there is nothing that could be initialized. To fix this and to avoid some dirty hacks revert this patch for now. Will be added later when we move to a virtual mem_map.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This is an updated version of Eric Biederman's is_init() patch. (http://lkml.org/lkml/2006/2/6/280). It applies cleanly to 2.6.18-rc3 and replaces a few more instances of ->pid == 1 with is_init(). Further, is_init() checks pid and thus removes dependency on Eric's other patches for now. Eric's original description: There are a lot of places in the kernel where we test for init because we give it special properties. Most significantly init must not die. This results in code all over the kernel test ->pid == 1. Introduce is_init to capture this case. With multiple pid spaces for all of the cases affected we are looking for only the first process on the system, not some other process that has pid == 1. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

| | | | | | | | | | Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options. We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X, ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT. Replace these 6 options by S390, 64BIT and COMPAT.

* [PATCH] s390: remove pagex supportMartin Schwidefsky2005-11-071-111/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove pagex pseudo page fault code. It does not work together with the system call speedup that makes the complete system call path enabled for interrupts. To make pagex and the syscall speedup code work together we would have to add code to the program check handler to do a critical section cleanup like the asynchronous interrupt code. This would make program checks slower. Not what we want. Newer versions of z/VM have the improved pfault pseudo page fault interface. This replaces the old pagex interface and does not have the problem. So its better to just rip out the pagex code.

* [PATCH] mm: init_mm without ptlockHugh Dickins2005-10-301-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it. Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area. Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock differently according to whether or not it's init_mm. If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13). Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64 used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64 map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free took page_table_lock for no good reason.

* [PATCH] s390: pfault interrupt raceMartin Schwidefsky2005-09-051-1/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | There is a race in pfault_interrupt. That function gets called two times for each pfault notification. Once with a subcode of 0 to indicate that a real page is not available and once with a subcode of 0x80 to indicate that the page is present again. Since the two external interrupts can be delivered on two different cpus the order in which the two calls are made is unpredictable. It is possible that the subcode 0x80 interrupt is completed before the subcode 0x00 interrupt has done the wake_up() call. To avoid calling wake_up() on an already removed task structure proper task structure reference counting is needed. Increase the reference counter in the subcode 0x00 interrupt before setting pfault_wait to zero and return the reference after the wake_up call.
