s390: always build relocatable kernel

2022-11-08T18:32:32Z

Nathan Chancellor reported several link errors on s390 with CONFIG_RELOCATABLE disabled, after binutils commit 906f69cf65da ("IBM zSystems: Issue error for *DBL relocs on misaligned symbols"). The binutils commit reveals potential miscompiles that might have happened already before with linker script defined symbols at odd addresses. A similar bug was recently fixed in the kernel with commit c9305b6c1f52 ("s390: fix nospec table alignments"). See https://github.com/ClangBuiltLinux/linux/issues/1747 for an analysis from Ulich Weigand. Therefore always build a relocatable kernel to avoid this problem. There is hardly any use-case for non-relocatable kernels, so this shouldn't be controversial.

kbuild: build init/built-in.a just once

2022-09-28T19:40:15Z

Kbuild builds init/built-in.a twice; first during the ordinary directory descending, second from scripts/link-vmlinux.sh. We do this because UTS_VERSION contains the build version and the timestamp. We cannot update it during the normal directory traversal since we do not yet know if we need to update vmlinux. UTS_VERSION is temporarily calculated, but omitted from the update check. Otherwise, vmlinux would be rebuilt every time. When Kbuild results in running link-vmlinux.sh, it increments the version number in the .version file and takes the timestamp at that time to really fix UTS_VERSION. However, updating the same file twice is a footgun. To avoid nasty timestamp issues, all build artifacts that depend on init/built-in.a are atomically generated in link-vmlinux.sh, where some of them do not need rebuilding. To fix this issue, this commit changes as follows: [1] Split UTS_VERSION out to include/generated/utsversion.h from include/generated/compile.h include/generated/utsversion.h is generated just before the vmlinux link. It is generated under include/generated/ because some decompressors (s390, x86) use UTS_VERSION. [2] Split init_uts_ns and linux_banner out to init/version-timestamp.c from init/version.c init_uts_ns and linux_banner contain UTS_VERSION. During the ordinary directory descending, they are compiled with __weak and used to determine if vmlinux needs relinking. Just before the vmlinux link, they are compiled without __weak to embed the real version and timestamp. Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada

s390/mm: rework memcpy_real() to avoid DAT-off mode

2022-09-14T14:46:01Z

Function memcpy_real() is an univeral data mover that does not require DAT mode to be able reading from a physical address. Its advantage is an ability to read from any address, even those for which no kernel virtual mapping exists. Although memcpy_real() is interrupt-safe, there are no handlers that make use of this function. The compiler instrumentation have to be disabled and separate no-DAT stack used to allow execution of the function once DAT mode is disabled. Rework memcpy_real() to overcome these shortcomings. As result, data copying (which is primarily reading out a crashed system memory by a user process) is executed on a regular stack with enabled interrupts. Also, use of memcpy_real_buf swap buffer becomes unnecessary and the swapping is eliminated. The above is achieved by using a fixed virtual address range that spans a single page and remaps that page repeatedly when memcpy_real() is called for a particular physical address.

s390/smp: rework absolute lowcore access

2022-09-14T14:46:00Z

Temporary unsetting of the prefix page in memcpy_absolute() routine poses a risk of executing code path with unexpectedly disabled prefix page. This rework avoids the prefix page uninstalling and disabling of normal and machine check interrupts when accessing the absolute zero memory. Although memcpy_absolute() routine can access the whole memory, it is only used to update the absolute zero lowcore. This rework therefore introduces a new mechanism for the absolute zero lowcore access and scraps memcpy_absolute() routine for good. Instead, an area is reserved in the virtual memory that is used for the absolute lowcore access only. That area holds an array of 8KB virtual mappings - one per CPU. Whenever a CPU is brought online, the corresponding item is mapped to the real address of the previously installed prefix page. The absolute zero lowcore access works like this: a CPU calls the new primitive get_abs_lowcore() to obtain its 8KB mapping as a pointer to the struct lowcore. Virtual address references to that pointer get translated to the real addresses of the prefix page, which in turn gets swapped with the absolute zero memory addresses due to prefixing. Once the pointer is not needed it must be released with put_abs_lowcore() primitive: struct lowcore *abs_lc; unsigned long flags; abs_lc = get_abs_lowcore(&flags); abs_lc->... = ...; put_abs_lowcore(abs_lc, flags); To ensure the described mechanism works large segment- and region- table entries must be avoided for the 8KB mappings. Failure to do so results in usage of Region-Frame Absolute Address (RFAA) or Segment-Frame Absolute Address (SFAA) large page fields. In that case absolute addresses would be used to address the prefix page instead of the real ones and the prefixing would get bypassed.

This reverts commit 7d06fed77b7d8fc9f6cc41b4e3f2823d32532ad8. This introduced vmem_mutex locking from vmem_map_4k_page() function called from smp_reinit_ipl_cpu() with interrupts disabled. While it is a pre-SMP early initcall no other CPUs running in parallel nor other code taking vmem_mutex on this boot stage - it still needs to be fixed. Signed-off-by: Alexander Gordeev
