2009-12-07[S390] s390: use change recording override for kernel mappingChristian Borntraeger
We dont need the dirty bit if a write access is done via the kernel mapping. In that case SetPageDirty and friends are used anyway, no need to do that a second time. We can use the change-recording overide function for the kernel mapping, if available.

2009-09-11[S390] fix recursive locking on page_table_lockMartin Schwidefsky
Suzuki Poulose reported the following recursive locking bug on s390: Here is the stack trace : (see Appendix I for more info) [<0000000000406ed6>] _spin_lock+0x52/0x94 [<0000000000103bde>] crst_table_free+0x14e/0x1a4 [<00000000001ba684>] __pmd_alloc+0x114/0x1ec [<00000000001be8d0>] handle_mm_fault+0x2cc/0xb80 [<0000000000407d62>] do_dat_exception+0x2b6/0x3a0 [<0000000000114f8c>] sysc_return+0x0/0x8 [<00000200001642b2>] 0x200001642b2 The page_table_lock is already acquired in __pmd_alloc (mm/memory.c) and it tries to populate the pud/pgd with a new pmd allocated. If another thread populates it before we get a chance, we free the pmd using pmd_free(). On s390x, pmd_free(even pud_free ) is #defined to crst_table_free(), which acquires the page_table_lock to protect the crst_table index updates. Hence this ends up in a recursive locking of the page_table_lock. The solution suggested by Dave Hansen is to use a new spin lock in the mmu context to protect the access to the crst_list and the pgtable_list.

2008-06-10[S390] vmemmap: fix off-by-one bug.Heiko Carstens
If a memory range is supposed to be added to the 1:1 mapping and it ends just below the maximum supported physical address it won't succeed. This is because a test doesn't consider that the end address is 1 smaller than start + size. Fix the comparison.

2008-05-30[S390] Fix section mismatch warnings.Heiko Carstens
This fixes the last remaining section mismatch warnings in s390 architecture code. It reveals also a real bug introduced by... me with git commit 2069e978d5a6e7b45d58027e3de7f879b8c5e488 ("[S390] sparsemem vmemmap: initialize memmap.") Calling the generic vmemmap_alloc_block() function to get initialized memory is a nice idea, however that function is __meminit annotated and therefore the function might be gone if we try to call it later. This can happen if a DCSS segment gets added. So basically revert the patch and clear the memmap explicitly to fix the original bug.

Convert s390 to SPARSEMEM and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. We do a select of SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP since it is configurable.

This adds hugetlbfs support on System z, using both hardware large page support if available and software large page emulation on older hardware.

2008-01-26[S390] vmemmap: allocate struct pages before 1:1 mappingChristian Borntraeger
We have seen an oops in an OOM situation, where show_mem tried to access the struct page of a dcss segment. The vmemmap code has already created the 1:1 mapping but failed allocating the struct pages. In the OOM case, show_mem now walks the memory. It uses pfn_valid to detect if it may access the struct page. In the case described above, the mapping was established and pfn_valid returned true. As the struct pages were not allocated, the kernel oopsed. We have to ensure that we have created the struct pages, before we add a mapping pointing to the pages.

2008-01-26[S390] Change vmalloc defintionsChristian Borntraeger
Currently the vmalloc area starts at a dynamic address depending on the memory size. There was also an 8MB security hole after the physical memory to catch out-of-bounds accesses. We can simplify the code by putting the vmalloc area explicitely at the top of the kernel mapping and setting the vmalloc size to a fixed value of 128MB/128GB for 31bit/64bit systems. Part of the vmalloc area will be used for the vmem_map. This leaves an area of 96MB/1GB for normal vmalloc allocations.

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.

Fix an oops experienced on the Cell architecture when init-time functions, early_*(), are called at runtime. It alters the call paths to make sure that the callers explicitly say whether the call is being made on behalf of a hotplug even, or happening at boot-time.

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.
