Martin Schwidefsky b2fa47e6bf [S390] refactor page table functions for better pgste support
Rework the architecture page table functions to access the bits in the
page table extension array (pgste). There are a number of changes:
1) Fix missing pgste update if the attach_count for the mm is <= 1.
2) For every operation that affects the invalid bit in the pte or the
   rcp byte in the pgste the pcl lock needs to be acquired. The function
   pgste_get_lock gets the pcl lock and returns the current pgste value
   for a pte pointer. The function pgste_set_unlock stores the pgste
   and releases the lock. Between these two calls the bits in the pgste
   can be shuffled.
3) Define two software bits in the pte _PAGE_SWR and _PAGE_SWC to avoid
   calling SetPageDirty and SetPageReferenced from pgtable.h. If the
   host reference backup bit or the host change backup bit has been
   set the dirty/referenced state is transfered to the pte. The common
   code will pick up the state from the pte.
4) Add ptep_modify_prot_start and ptep_modify_prot_commit for mprotect.
5) Remove pgd_populate_kernel, pud_populate_kernel, pmd_populate_kernel
   pgd_clear_kernel, pud_clear_kernel, pmd_clear_kernel and ptep_invalidate.
6) Rename kvm_s390_test_and_clear_page_dirty to
   ptep_test_and_clear_user_dirty and add ptep_test_and_clear_user_young.
7) Define mm_exclusive() and mm_has_pgste() helper to improve readability.

Martin Schwidefsky 043d07084b [S390] Remove data execution protection
The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table
entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between
memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies
on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space
page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary
space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case.
Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines.
The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the
memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been
used to fetch the instruction.
This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled
with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current
noexec support.

Martin Schwidefsky 050eef364a [S390] fix tlb flushing vs. concurrent /proc accesses
The tlb flushing code uses the mm_users field of the mm_struct to
decide if each page table entry needs to be flushed individually with
IPTE or if a global flush for the mm_struct is sufficient after all page
table updates have been done. The comment for mm_users says "How many
users with user space?" but the /proc code increases mm_users after it
found the process structure by pid without creating a new user process.
Which makes mm_users useless for the decision between the two tlb
flusing methods. The current code can be confused to not flush tlb
entries by a concurrent access to /proc files if e.g. a fork is in
progres. The solution for this problem is to make the tlb flushing
logic independent from the mm_users field.

Heiko Carstens a1b200e27c mm: provide init_mm mm_context initializer
Provide an INIT_MM_CONTEXT intializer macro which can be used to
statically initialize mm_struct:mm_context of init_mm.  This way we can
get rid of code which will do the initialization at run time (on s390).

In addition the current code can be found at a place where it is not
expected.  So let's have a common initializer which architectures
can use if needed.

This is based on a patch from Suzuki Poulose.

Martin Schwidefsky 50aa98bad0 [S390] fix recursive locking on page_table_lock
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.

Christian Borntraeger 250cf776f7 [S390] pgtables: Fix race in enable_sie vs. page table ops
The current enable_sie code sets the mm->context.pgstes bit to tell
dup_mm that the new mm should have extended page tables. This bit is also
used by the s390 specific page table primitives to decide about the page
table layout - which means context.pgstes has two meanings. This can cause
any kind of bugs. For example  - e.g. shrink_zone can call
ptep_clear_flush_young while enable_sie is running. ptep_clear_flush_young
will test for context.pgstes. Since enable_sie changed that value of the old
struct mm without changing the page table layout ptep_clear_flush_young will
do the wrong thing.
The solution is to split pgstes into two bits
- one for the allocation
- one for the current state
