The average string that is copied from user space to kernel space is
rather short. E.g. booting a system involves about 50.000
strncpy_from_user() calls where the NULL terminated string has an
average size of 27 bytes.
By default our s390 specific strncpy_from_user() implementation
however copies up to 4096 bytes, which is a waste of cpu cycles and
cache lines. Therefore reduce the default length to L1_CACHE_BYTES
(256 bytes), which also reduces the average execution time of
strncpy_from_user() by 30-40%.
Alternatively we could have switched to the generic
strncpy_from_user() implementation, however it turned out that that
variant would be slower than the now optimized s390 variant.

The CAD instruction never worked quite as expected for the spinlock
code. It has been disabled by default with git commit 61b0b01686d48220,
if the "cad" kernel parameter is specified it is enabled for both user
space and the spinlock code. Leave the option to enable the instruction
for user space but remove it from the spinlock code.

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each change instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed. An instance
where module_param was used without moduleparam.h was also fixed,
as well as implicit use of ptrace.h and string.h headers.

We have a couple of inline assemblies like memchr() and strlen() that
read from memory, but tell the compiler only they need the addresses
of the strings they access.
This allows the compiler to omit the initialization of such strings
and therefore generate broken code. Add the missing memory barrier to
all string related inline assemblies to fix this potential issue. It
looks like the compiler currently does not generate broken code due to
these bugs.

Provide an s390 specific memmove implementation which is faster than
the generic implementation which copies byte-wise.
For non-destructive (as defined by the mvc instruction) memmove
operations the following table compares the old default implementation
versus the new s390 specific implementation:
size old new
1 1ns 8ns
2 2ns 8ns
4 4ns 8ns
8 7ns 8ns
16 17ns 8ns
32 35ns 8ns
64 65ns 9ns
128 146ns 10ns
256 298ns 11ns
512 537ns 11ns
1024 1193ns 19ns
2048 2405ns 36ns
So only for very small sizes the old implementation is faster. For
overlapping memmoves, where the mvc instruction can't be used, the new
implementation is as slow as the old one.

if two string compare equal the clcle instruction will update the
string addresses to point _after_ the string. This might already
be on a different page, so we should not use these pointer to
calculate the difference as in that case the calculation of the
difference can cause oopses.
The return value of memcmp does not need the difference, we
can just reuse the condition code and return for CC=1 (All bytes
compared, first operand low) -1 and for CC=2 (All bytes compared,
first operand high) +1
strstr also does not need the diff.
While fixing this, make the common function clcle "correct on its
own" by using l1 instead of l2 for the first length. strstr will
call this with l2 for both strings.

arch_spin_lock_wait_flags() checks if a spinlock is not held before
trying a compare and swap instruction. If the lock is unlocked it
tries the compare and swap instruction, however if a different cpu
grabbed the lock in the meantime the instruction will fail as
expected.
Subsequently the arch_spin_lock_wait_flags() incorrectly tries to
figure out if the cpu that holds the lock is running. However it is
using the wrong cpu number for this (-1) and then will also yield the
current cpu to the wrong cpu.
Fix this by adding a missing continue statement.

It does not make sense to try to relinquish the time slice with diag 0x9c
to a CPU in a state that does not allow to schedule the CPU. The scenario
where this can happen is a CPU waiting in udelay/mdelay while holding a
spin-lock.
Add a CIF bit to tag a CPU in enabled wait and use it to detect that the
yield of a CPU will not be successful and skip the diagnose call.

The spinlock implementation calls the diagnose 0x9c / 0x44 immediately
if the SIGP sense running reported the target CPU as not running.
The diagnose 0x9c is a hint to the hypervisor to schedule the target
CPU in preference to the source CPU that issued the diagnose. It can
happen that on return from the diagnose the target CPU has not been
scheduled yet, e.g. if the target logical CPU is on another physical
CPU and the hypervisor did not want to migrate the logical CPU.
Avoid the immediate repeat of the diagnose instruction, instead do
the retry loop before the next invocation of diagnose 0x9c.

When using systemtap it was observed that our udelay implementation is
rather suboptimal if being called from a kprobe handler installed by
systemtap.
The problem observed when a kprobe was installed on lock_acquired().
When the probe was hit the kprobe handler did call udelay, which set
up an (internal) timer and reenabled interrupts (only the clock comparator
interrupt) and waited for the interrupt.
This is an optimization to avoid that the cpu is busy looping while waiting
that enough time passes. The problem is that the interrupt handler still
does call irq_enter()/irq_exit() which then again can lead to a deadlock,
since some accounting functions may take locks as well.
If one of these locks is the same, which caused lock_acquired() to be
called, we have a nice deadlock.
This patch reworks the udelay code for the interrupts disabled case to
immediately leave the low level interrupt handler when the clock
comparator interrupt happens. That way no C code is being called and the
deadlock cannot happen anymore.

"Main changes in this cycle are:
- Extend atomic primitives with coherent logic op primitives
(atomic_{or,and,xor}()) and deprecate the old partial APIs
(atomic_{set,clear}_mask())
The old ops were incoherent with incompatible signatures across
architectures and with incomplete support. Now every architecture
supports the primitives consistently (by Peter Zijlstra)
- Generic support for 'relaxed atomics':
- _acquire/release/relaxed() flavours of xchg(), cmpxchg() and {add,sub}_return()
- atomic_read_acquire()
- atomic_set_release()

- Clean up the fragile static_key APIs that were causing repeat bugs,

DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE(name);
DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_FALSE(name);
which define a key of different types with an initial true/false
value.
Then allow:

static_branch_unlikely()

The kernel parameter "uaccess_primary" can only change the behavior

Add the compare-and-delay instruction to the spin-lock and rw-lock
retry loops. A CPU executing the compare-and-delay instruction stops
until the lock value has changed. This is done to make the locking
code for contended locks to behave better in regard to the multi-
hreading facility. A thread of a core executing a compare-and-delay

Move the C functions and definitions related to the idle state handling
to arch/s390/include/asm/idle.h and arch/s390/kernel/idle.c. The function
s390_get_idle_time is renamed to arch_cpu_idle_time and vtime_stop_cpu to
enabled_wait.

This patch moves common functions from kprobes.c to probes.c.
Thus its possible for uprobes to use them without enabling kprobes.

Set the write-lock bit in the out-of-line rwlock code to indicate that
a writer is waiting. Additional readers will no be able to get the lock
until at least one writer got the lock. Additional writers have to wait
for the first writer to release the lock again.

Add an owner field to the arch_rwlock_t to be able to pass the timeslice
of a virtual CPU with diagnose 0x9c to the lock owner in case the rwlock
is write-locked. The undirected yield in case the rwlock is acquired
writable but the lock is read-locked is removed.

The out of line _raw_read_lock_wait_flags/_raw_write_lock_wait_flags
functions for the arch_read_lock_flags/arch_write_lock_flags calls
fail to re-enable the interrupts after another unsuccessful try to
get the lock with compare-and-swap. The following wait would be
done with interrupts disabled which is suboptimal.

In case a lock is contended it is better to do a load-and-test first
before trying to get the lock with compare-and-swap. This helps to avoid
unnecessary cache invalidations of the cacheline for the lock if the
CPU has to wait for the lock. For an uncontended lock doing the
compare-and-swap directly is a bit better, if the CPU does not have the
cacheline in its cache yet the compare-and-swap will get it read-write
immediately while a load-and-test would get it read-only first.
Always to the load-and-test first to avoid the cacheline invalidations
for the contended case outweight the potential read-only to read-write
cacheline upgrade for the uncontended case.

On LPAR, when spin_retry is set to <= 0, arch_spin_lock_wait() and
arch_spin_lock_wait_flags() may end up in a while(1) loop w/o doing
any compare and swap operation. To fix this, use do/while instead of
for loop.

Always switch to the kernel ASCE in switch_mm. Load the secondary
space ASCE in finish_arch_post_lock_switch after checking that
any pending page table operations have completed. The primary
ASCE is loaded in entry[64].S. With this the update_primary_asce
call can be removed from the switch_to macro and from the start
of switch_mm function. Remove the load_primary argument from
update_user_asce/clear_user_asce, rename update_user_asce to
set_user_asce and rename update_primary_asce to load_kernel_asce.

Improve the spinlock code in several aspects:
- Have _raw_compare_and_swap return true if the operation has been
successful instead of returning the old value.
- Remove the "volatile" from arch_spinlock_t and arch_rwlock_t
- Rename 'owner_cpu' to 'lock'
- Add helper functions arch_spin_trylock_once / arch_spin_tryrelease_once

The whole point of the out-of-line strnlen_user_srst() function was to
avoid corruption of register 0 due to register asm assignment.
However 'somebody' :) forgot to remove the update_primary_asce() function
call, which may clobber register 0 contents.
So let's remove that call and also move the size check to the calling
function.
