<content type='text'>
When userspace executes a syscall or gets interrupted,
BEAR contains a kernel address when returning to userspace.
This make it pretty easy to figure out where the kernel is
mapped even with KASLR enabled. To fix this, add lpswe to
lowcore and always execute it there, so userspace sees only
the lowcore address of lpswe. For this we have to extend
both critical_cleanup and the SWITCH_ASYNC macro to also check
for lpswe addresses in lowcore.

getcpu reads the required values for cpu and node with two
instructions. This might lead to an inconsistent result if user space
gets preempted and migrated to a different CPU between the two
instructions.

Fix this by using just a single instruction to read both values at
once.

This is currently rather a theoretical bug, since there is no real
NUMA support available (except for NUMA emulation).

Rework the dump_trace() stack unwinder interface to support different
unwinding algorithms. The new interface looks like this:

	struct unwind_state state;
	unwind_for_each_frame(&amp;state, task, regs, start_stack)
		do_something(state.sp, state.ip, state.reliable);

The unwind_bc.c file contains the implementation for the classic
back-chain unwinder.

One positive side effect of the new code is it now handles ftraced
functions gracefully. It prints the real name of the return function
instead of 'return_to_handler'.

<title>s390: add support for virtually mapped kernel stacks</title>

<id>urn:sha1:ce3dc447493ff4186b192b38d723ab5e8c1eb52f</id>
<content type='text'>
With virtually mapped kernel stacks the kernel stack overflow detection
is now fault based, every stack has a guard page in the vmalloc space.
The panic_stack is renamed to nodat_stack and is used for all function
that need to run without DAT, e.g. memcpy_real or do_start_kdump.

The main effect is a reduction in the kernel image size as with vmap
stacks the old style overflow checking that adds two instructions per
function is not needed anymore. Result from bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 20/1 grow/shrink: 13/26854 up/down: 2198/-216240 (-214042)

In regard to performance the micro-benchmark for fork has a hit of a
few microseconds, allocating 4 pages in vmalloc space is more expensive
compare to an order-2 page allocation. But with real workload I could
not find a noticeable difference.

<title>s390/ftrace: use expoline for indirect branches</title>

<content type='text'>
The return from the ftrace_stub, _mcount, ftrace_caller and
return_to_handler functions is done with "br %r14" and "br %r1".
These are indirect branches as well and need to use execute
trampolines for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.

The ftrace_caller function is a special case as it returns to the
start of a function and may only use %r0 and %r1. For a pre z10
machine the standard execute trampoline uses a LARL + EX to do
this, but this requires *two* registers in the range %r1..%r15.
To get around this the 'br %r1' located in the lowcore is used,
then the EX instruction does not need an address register.
But the lowcore trick may only be used for pre z14 machines,
with noexec=on the mapping for the first page may not contain
instructions. The solution for that is an ALTERNATIVE in the
expoline THUNK generated by 'GEN_BR_THUNK %r1' to switch to
EXRL, this relies on the fact that a machine that supports
noexec=on has EXRL as well.

<title>s390: remove all code using the access register mode</title>

<id>urn:sha1:0aaba41b58bc5f3074c0c0a6136b9500b5e29e19</id>
<content type='text'>
The vdso code for the getcpu() and the clock_gettime() call use the access
register mode to access the per-CPU vdso data page with the current code.

An alternative to the complicated AR mode is to use the secondary space
mode. This makes the vdso faster and quite a bit simpler. The downside is
that the uaccess code has to be changed quite a bit.

Which instructions are used depends on the machine and what kind of uaccess
operation is requested. The instruction dictates which ASCE value needs
to be loaded into %cr1 and %cr7.

The different cases:

* User copy with MVCOS for z10 and newer machines
  The MVCOS instruction can copy between the primary space (aka user) and
  the home space (aka kernel) directly. For set_fs(KERNEL_DS) the kernel
  ASCE is loaded into %cr1. For set_fs(USER_DS) the user space is already
  loaded in %cr1.

* User copy with MVCP/MVCS for older machines
  To be able to execute the MVCP/MVCS instructions the kernel needs to
  switch to primary mode. The control register %cr1 has to be set to the
  kernel ASCE and %cr7 to either the kernel ASCE or the user ASCE dependent
  on set_fs(KERNEL_DS) vs set_fs(USER_DS).

* Data access in the user address space for strnlen / futex
  To use "normal" instruction with data from the user address space the
  secondary space mode is used. The kernel needs to switch to primary mode,
  %cr1 has to contain the kernel ASCE and %cr7 either the user ASCE or the
  kernel ASCE, dependent on set_fs.

To load a new value into %cr1 or %cr7 is an expensive operation, the kernel
tries to be lazy about it. E.g. for multiple user copies in a row with
MVCP/MVCS the replacement of the vdso ASCE in %cr7 with the user ASCE is
done only once. On return to user space a CPU bit is checked that loads the
vdso ASCE again.

To enable and disable the data access via the secondary space two new
functions are added, enable_sacf_uaccess and disable_sacf_uaccess. The fact
that a context is in secondary space uaccess mode is stored in the
mm_segment_t value for the task. The code of an interrupt may use set_fs
as long as it returns to the previous state it got with get_fs with another
call to set_fs. The code in finish_arch_post_lock_switch simply has to do a
set_fs with the current mm_segment_t value for the task.

For CPUs with MVCOS:

CPU running in                        | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE |
--------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
user space                            |  user     |  vdso     |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode          |  user     |  vdso     |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode, lazy    |  user     |  user     |
kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode            |  kernel   |  user     |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode        |  kernel   |  vdso     |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode, lazy  |  kernel   |  kernel   |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode          |  kernel   |  kernel   |

For CPUs without MVCOS:

CPU running in                        | %cr1 ASCE | %cr7 ASCE |
--------------------------------------|-----------|-----------|
user space                            |  user     |  vdso     |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode          |  user     |  vdso     |
kernel, USER_DS, normal-mode lazy     |  kernel   |  user     |
kernel, USER_DS, sacf-mode            |  kernel   |  user     |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode        |  kernel   |  vdso     |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, normal-mode, lazy  |  kernel   |  kernel   |
kernel, KERNEL_DS, sacf-mode          |  kernel   |  kernel   |

The lines with "lazy" refer to the state after a copy via the secondary
space with a delayed reload of %cr1 and %cr7.

There are three hardware address spaces that can cause a DAT exception,
primary, secondary and home space. The exception can be related to
four different fault types: user space fault, vdso fault, kernel fault,
and the gmap faults.

Dependent on the set_fs state and normal vs. sacf mode there are a number
of fault combinations:

1) user address space fault via the primary ASCE
2) gmap address space fault via the primary ASCE
3) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for machines with
   MVCOS and set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
4) vdso address space faults via the secondary ASCE with an invalid
   address while running in secondary space in problem state
5) user address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy
   based on the secondary space mode, e.g. futex_ops or strnlen_user
6) kernel address space fault via the secondary ASCE for user-copy
   with secondary space mode with set_fs(KERNEL_DS)
7) kernel address space fault via the primary ASCE for user-copy
   with secondary space mode with set_fs(USER_DS) on machines without
   MVCOS.
8) kernel address space fault via the home space ASCE

Replace user_space_fault() with a new function get_fault_type() that
can distinguish all four different fault types.

With these changes the futex atomic ops from the kernel and the
strnlen_user will get a little bit slower, as well as the old style
uaccess with MVCP/MVCS. All user accesses based on MVCOS will be as
fast as before. On the positive side, the user space vdso code is a
lot faster and Linux ceases to use the complicated AR mode.
