2008-05-07[S390] guest page hinting lightMartin Schwidefsky

2008-04-30[S390] Convert to SPARSEMEM & SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAPHeiko Carstens
Convert s390 to SPARSEMEM and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. We do a select of SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP since it is configurable. This is because SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP gives us a hell of broken include dependencies that I don't want to fix.

2008-04-27s390: KVM guest: detect when running on kvmCarsten Otte
This patch adds functionality to detect if the kernel runs under the KVM hypervisor. A macro MACHINE_IS_KVM is exported for device drivers. This allows drivers to skip device detection if the systems runs non-virtualized. We also define a preferred console to avoid having the ttyS0, which is a line mode only console.

2008-04-27s390: KVM preparation: provide hook to enable pgstes in user pagetableCarsten Otte
The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to reserve space in the page table: s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table. Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE. This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static. Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

2008-03-05[S390] Fix IPL from NSS.Heiko Carstens
IPL from NSS didn't work because the memory detection routine omits any memory sections with a size lower than what MAX_ORDER defines. This causes the detection routine to skip the first memory segment which has a size of 1MB. Which later on will let the kernel think that there is no memory available at all. Since in addition the z/VM memory increment size is 1MB force MAX_ORDER to be 9, so we can support 1MB segments.

So we'll just need to replace NO_IOPORT with NO_IOMEM in Kconfig and kill arch/s390/mm/ioremap.c. BTW, there's an annoying bit of junk in there - IO_SPACE_LIMIT. We only need it for /proc/ioports, which AFAICS shouldn't even be there on s390 (or uml).

2007-02-11[PATCH] optional ZONE_DMA: introduce CONFIG_ZONE_DMAChristoph Lameter
This patch simply defines CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for all arches. We later do special things with CONFIG_ZONE_DMA after the VM and an arch are prepared to work without ZONE_DMA. CONFIG_ZONE_DMA can be defined in two ways depending on how an architecture handles ISA DMA. First if CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA is set by the arch then we know that the arch needs ZONE_DMA because ISA DMA devices are supported. We can catch this in mm/Kconfig and do not need to modify arch code. Second, arches may use ZONE_DMA in an unknown way. We set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for all arches that do not set CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA in order to insure backwards compatibility. The arches may later undefine ZONE_DMA if their arch code has been verified to not depend on ZONE_DMA.

2007-02-05[S390] noexec protectionGerald Schaefer
This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data. As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses (storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the data addresses. The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU list). Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn) and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored behind the signal stack frame. This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works for user space. After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the page tables need to be walked manually.

2006-12-08[PATCH] LOG2: Implement a general integer log2 facility in the kernelDavid Howells
This facility provides three entry points: ilog2() Log base 2 of unsigned long ilog2_u32() Log base 2 of u32 ilog2_u64() Log base 2 of u64 These facilities can either be used inside functions on dynamic data: int do_something(long q) { ...; y = ilog2(x) ...; } Or can be used to statically initialise global variables with constant values: unsigned n = ilog2(27); When performing static initialisation, the compiler will report "error: initializer element is not constant" if asked to take a log of zero or of something not reducible to a constant. They treat negative numbers as unsigned. When not dealing with a constant, they fall back to using fls() which permits them to use arch-specific log calculation instructions - such as BSR on x86/x86_64 or SCAN on FRV - if available.

2006-12-08[S390] Virtual memmap for s390.Heiko Carstens
Virtual memmap support for s390. Inspired by the ia64 implementation. Unlike ia64 we need a mechanism which allows us to dynamically attach shared memory regions. These memory regions are accessed via the dcss device driver. dcss implements the 'direct_access' operation, which requires struct pages for every single shared page. Therefore this implementation provides an interface to attach/detach shared memory: int add_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size); int remove_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size); The purpose of the add_shared_memory function is to add the given memory range to the 1:1 mapping and to make sure that the corresponding range in the vmemmap is backed with physical pages. It also initialises the new struct pages. remove_shared_memory in turn only invalidates the page table entries in the 1:1 mapping. The page tables and the memory used for struct pages in the vmemmap are currently not freed. They will be reused when the next segment will be attached. Given that the maximum size of a shared memory region is 2GB and in addition all regions must reside below 2GB this is not too much of a restriction, but there is room for improvement.

2006-11-06[S390] revert add_active_range() usage patch.Heiko Carstens
Commit 7676bef9c183fd573822cac9992927ef596d584c breaks DCSS support on s390. DCSS needs initialized struct pages to work. With the usage of add_active_range() only the struct pages for physically present pages are initialized. This could be fixed if the DCSS driver would initiliaze the struct pages itself, but this doesn't work too. This is because the mem_map array does not include holes after the last present memory area and therefore there is nothing that could be initialized. To fix this and to avoid some dirty hacks revert this patch for now. Will be added later when we move to a virtual mem_map.

2006-10-06[S390] Use CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME and define TOD clock source.Martin Schwidefsky
Fix too slow clock by using CONFIG_GENERIC_TIME and adding a clock source for the s390 time-of-day clock. As added benefit we get rid of the s390 specific definition of do_gettimeofday and do_settimeofday. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2006-09-28[S390] __div64_32 for 31 bit.Martin Schwidefsky
The clocksource infrastructure introduced with commit ad596171ed635c51a9eef829187af100cbf8dcf7 broke 31 bit s390. The reason is that the do_div() primitive for 31 bit always had a restriction: it could only divide an unsigned 64 bit integer by an unsigned 31 bit integer. The clocksource code now uses do_div() with a base value that has the most significant bit set. The result is that clock->cycle_interval has a funny value which causes the linux time to jump around like mad. The solution is "obvious": implement a proper __div64_32 function for 31 bit s390.
