<title>s390/boot: Fix KASLR base offset off by __START_KERNEL bytes</title>

<id>urn:sha1:1642285e511c2a40b14e87a41aa8feace6123036</id>
<content type='text'>
Symbol offsets to the KASLR base do not match symbol address in
the vmlinux image. That is the result of setting the KASLR base
to the beginning of .text section as result of an optimization.

Revert that optimization and allocate virtual memory for the
whole kernel image including __START_KERNEL bytes as per the
linker script. That allows keeping the semantics of the KASLR
base offset in sync with other architectures.

Rename __START_KERNEL to TEXT_OFFSET, since it represents the
offset of the .text section within the kernel image, rather than
a virtual address.

Still skip mapping TEXT_OFFSET bytes to save memory on pgtables
and provoke exceptions in case an attempt to access this area is
made, as no kernel symbol may reside there.

In case CONFIG_KASAN is enabled the location counter might exceed
the value of TEXT_OFFSET, while the decompressor linker script
forcefully resets it to TEXT_OFFSET, which leads to a sections
overlap link failure. Use MAX() expression to avoid that.

When physical memory for the kernel image is allocated it does not
consider extra memory required for offsetting the image start to
match it with the lower 20 bits of KASLR virtual base address. That
might lead to kernel access beyond its memory range.

SIE instruction performs faster when the virtual address of
SIE block matches the physical one. Pin the identity mapping
base to zero for the benefit of SIE and other instructions
that have similar performance impact. Still, randomize the
base when DEBUG_VM kernel configuration option is enabled.

Removing the CONFIG_PROTECTED_VIRTUALIZATION_GUEST ifdefs and config

Having this configurable has been more of a pain than a help.
It's time to remove the ifdefs and the config option.

<id>urn:sha1:5ade5be4edf855245955108860d2016af3065a37</id>
<content type='text'>
The s390 architecture defines two special per-CPU data pages
called the "prefix area". In s390-linux terminology this is usually
called "lowcore". This memory area contains system configuration
data like old/new PSW's for system call/interrupt/machine check
handlers and lots of other data. It is normally mapped to logical
address 0. This area can only be accessed when in supervisor mode.

This means that kernel code can dereference NULL pointers, because
accesses to address 0 are allowed. Parts of lowcore can be write
protected, but read accesses and write accesses outside of the write
protected areas are not caught.

To remove this limitation for debugging and testing, remap lowcore to
another address and define a function get_lowcore() which simply
returns the address where lowcore is mapped at. This would normally
introduce a pointer dereference (=memory read). As lowcore is used
for several very often used variables, add code to patch this function
during runtime, so we avoid the memory reads.

For C code get_lowcore() has to be used, for assembly code it is
the GET_LC macro. When using this macro/function a reference is added
to alternative patching. All these locations will be patched to the
actual lowcore location when the kernel is booted or a module is loaded.

To make debugging/bisecting problems easier, this patch adds all the
infrastructure but the lowcore address is still hardwired to 0. This
way the code can be converted on a per function basis, and the
functionality is enabled in a patch after all the functions have
been converted.

Note that this requires at least z16 because the old lpsw instruction
only allowed a 12 bit displacement. z16 introduced lpswey which allows
20 bits (signed), so the lowcore can effectively be mapped from
address 0 - 0x7e000. To use 0x7e000 as address, a 6 byte lgfi
instruction would have to be used in the alternative. To save two
bytes, llilh can be used, but this only allows to set bits 16-31 of
the address. In order to use the llilh instruction, use 0x70000 as
alternative lowcore address. This is still large enough to catch
NULL pointer dereferences into large arrays.

Add the required code to patch alternatives early in the decompressor.
This is required for the upcoming lowcore relocation changes, where
alternatives for facility 193 need to get patched before lowcore
alternatives.

<content type='text'>
When allocating a random memory range for .amode31 sections
the minimal randomization address is 0. That does not lead
to a possible overlap with the decompressor image (which also
starts from 0) since by that time the image range is already
reserved.

Do not assume the decompressor range is reserved and always
provide the minimal randomization address for .amode31
sections beyond the decompressor. That is a prerequisite
for moving the lowcore memory address from NULL elsewhere.
