2007-05-04[S390] Export uaccess as non-gpl symbol.Martin Schwidefsky
Commit c1821c2e9711adc3cd298a16b7237c92a2cee78d introduced the uaccess structure that is used to select the correct set of user copy functions for the different execution modes (standard vs. noexec vs. z9 optimized user copy). The uaccess symbol is exported with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This breaks all non-gpl modules that use user copy. To make them work again change the export to EXPORT_SYMBOL.

Let's allow page-alignment in general for per-cpu data (wanted by Xen, and Ingo suggested KVM as well).

2007-04-27[S390] zfcpdump support.Michael Holzheu
s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first 32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

Generic bug implementation for s390. Will increase the value of the console output on BUG() statements since registers r0-r5,r14 will not be clobbered by a printk() call that was previously done before the illegal instruction of BUG() was hit. Also implements an architecture specific WARN_ON(). Output of that could be increased but requires common code change.

2007-04-27[S390] Improved oops output.Martin Schwidefsky
This patch adds two improvements to the oops output. First it adds an additional line after the PSW which decodes the different fields of it. Second a disassembler is added that decodes the instructions surrounding the faulting PSW. The output of a test oops now looks like this: kernel BUG at init/main.c:419 illegal operation: 0001 [#1] CPU: 0 Not tainted Process swapper (pid: 0, task: 0000000000464968, ksp: 00000000004be000) Krnl PSW : 0700000180000000 00000000000120b6 (rest_init+0x36/0x38) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:0 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:0 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000000000003 00000000004ba017 0000000000000022 0000000000000001 000000000003a5f6 0000000000000000 00000000004be6a8 0000000000000000 0000000000000000 00000000004b8200 0000000000003a50 0000000000008000 0000000000516368 000000000033d008 00000000000120b2 00000000004bdee0 Krnl Code: 00000000000120a6: e3e0f0980024 stg %r14,152(%r15) 00000000000120ac: c0e500014296 brasl %r14,3a5d8 00000000000120b2: a7f40001 brc 15,120b4 >00000000000120b6: 0707 bcr 0,%r7 00000000000120b8: eb7ff0500024 stmg %r7,%r15,80(%r15) 00000000000120be: c0d000195825 larl %r13,33d108 00000000000120c4: a7f13f00 tmll %r15,16128 00000000000120c8: a7840001 brc 8,120ca Call Trace: ([<00000000000120b2>] rest_init+0x32/0x38) [<00000000004be614>] start_kernel+0x37c/0x410 [<0000000000012020>] _ehead+0x20/0x80 Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>

2007-03-26[S390] kprobes: Align probe address.David Wilder
Running a probe on s390 with a probe address that is not 4 byte aligned results in a Kernel BUG. The problem is that the stura instruction used by swap_instruction requires the destination address to be 4 byte aligned. As stura only writes 4 bytes, aligning to the next 4 byte aligned address results in the breakpoint instruction being stored past the probe address. The fix is to align the address backward (to the previous 4 byte aligned address) and writing the two byte breakpoint instruction in the appropriate bytes.

2007-03-05[S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.Gerald Schaefer
Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched (kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space). Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than 0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory is accessed using the base register related to the access register, the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

Reipl doesn't work on older machines were s390_reset_machine() gets called. The reason is that the text section is read-only but the variable dump_prefix_page is there. Since s390_reset_machine() writes to it we get a protection exception. Therefore move dump_prefix_page to the bss section.

2007-03-05[S390] kprobes breaks BUG_ONMartin Schwidefsky
The illegal operation handler calls the die notifier with DIE_BPT to let kprobes pick up its breakpoint. If kprobes does not find its breakpoint it returns NOTIFY_STOP instead of NOTIFY_DONE. Since we use stop_machine_run on s390 to arm/disarm the kprobes breakpoints the race that kprobe_handler tries to solve by checking for the kprobes breakpoints does not exist. Removing the check makes BUG_ON working again. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2007-02-14[PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman
The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

2007-02-05[S390] Mark kernel text section read-only.Heiko Carstens
Set read-only flag in the page table entries for the kernel image text section. This will catch all instruction caused corruptions withing the text section. Instruction replacement via kprobes still works, since it bypasses now dynamic address translation.

2007-02-05[S390] Convert memory detection into C code.Heiko Carstens
Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone. Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an early call to sort_main_extable(). This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of head[31|64].S into C code.

2007-02-05[S390] Calibrate delay and bogomips.Martin Schwidefsky
Preset the bogomips number to the cpu capacity value reported by store system information in SYSIB 1.2.2. This value is constant for a particular machine model and can be used to determine relative performance differences between machines. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
