* [S390] irq: fix service signal external interrupt handlingHeiko Carstens2011-05-261-0/+23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Interrupt sources like pfault, sclp, dasd_diag and virtio all use the service signal external interrupt subclass mask in control register 0 to enable and disable the corresponding interrupt. Because no reference counting is implemented each subsystem thinks it is the only user of subclass and sets and clears the bit like it wants. This leads to case that unloading the dasd diag module under z/VM causes both sclp and pfault interrupts to be masked. The result will be locked up system sooner or later. Fix this by introducing a new way to set (register) and clear (unregister) the service signal subclass mask bit in cr0. Also convert all drivers.

| * [S390] cpu hotplug: fix external interrupt subclass mask handlingHeiko Carstens2011-05-231-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | When disabling a cpu all external interrupt subclass masks in control register 0 get cleared. However instead of the service signal subclass mask bit an unused bit got cleared. Accidently (or luckily) the service subclass mask gets cleared with the pfault_fini() call that happens just before the rest of the subclass mask bits get cleared.

| * [S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interruptsHeiko Carstens2011-05-233-0/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | On cpu hot remove a PFAULT CANCEL command is sent to the hypervisor which in turn will cancel all outstanding pfault requests that have been issued on that cpu (the same happens with a SIGP cpu reset). The result is that we end up with uninterruptible processes where the interrupt that would wake up these processes never arrives. In order to solve this all processes which wait for a pfault completion interrupt get woken up after a cpu hot remove. The worst case that could happen is that they fault again and in turn need to wait again.

| * [S390] vdso: disable gcov profilingPeter Oberparleiter2011-05-232-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The concepts of VDSO and gcov-based profiling don't mix: the former includes kernel-provided code running in userspace, the latter adds instructions that modify counters in kernel data segments. On s390 this has not been a problem so far due to VDSO code being written in all-assembler which is exempt from gcov-based profiling. This could change in the future, so disable profiling excplicitly for VDSO code.

| * [S390] Remove data execution protectionMartin Schwidefsky2011-05-232-32/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case. Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines. The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been used to fetch the instruction. This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current noexec support.

The calculation of the former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel image. The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter. Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking percpu memory alignment. This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it, add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching there. For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference. This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot failure on mn10300.

In addition to that the new function now allows to release memory with addresses higher than 2047 MiB. This was due to a restriction of the diagnose implementation under z/VM prior to release 5.2.

* | mm: arch: make get_gate_vma take an mm_struct instead of a task_structStephen Wilson2011-03-231-1/+1
|/ | | | | | | | | | | | | Morally, the presence of a gate vma is more an attribute of a particular mm than a particular task. Moreover, dropping the dependency on task_struct will help make both existing and future operations on mm's more flexible and convenient.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Currently percpu readmostly subsection may share cachelines with other percpu subsections which may result in unnecessary cacheline bounce and performance degradation. This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR() linker macros, makes each arch linker scripts specify its cacheline size and use it to align percpu subsections. This is based on Shaohua's x86 only patch. Signed-off-by: Tejun Heo <tj@kernel.org> Cc: Shaohua Li <shaohua.li@intel.com>

|/ | | | | | | | | | | task_show_regs used to be a debugging aid in the early bringup days of Linux on s390. /proc/<pid>/status is a world readable file, it is not a good idea to show the registers of a process. The only correct fix is to remove task_show_regs.

* [S390] vdso: dont map at mmap_baseHeiko Carstens2011-01-121-3/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | The vdso object is currently always mapped with mm->mmap_base used as requested address. In case of flexible mmap layout this means it gets mapped above mmap_base and therefore potentially stealing a bit of address space that is reserved for the stack. In case of flexible mmap layout the object should be mapped below mmap base. For legacy mmap layout above. To fix this just don't request any specific address and let the mmap code figure out an address that fits.
