Heiko Carstens 1b25fda053 s390/topology: alternative topology for topology-less machines
If running on machines that do not provide topology information we
currently generate a "fake" topology which defines the maximum
distance between each cpu: each cpu will be put into an own drawer.

Historically this used to be the best option for (virtual) machines in
overcommited hypervisors.

For some workloads however it is better to generate a different
topology where all cpus are siblings within a package (all cpus are
core siblings). This shows performance improvements of up to 10%,
depending on the workload.

In order to keep the current behaviour, but also allow to switch to
the different core sibling topology use the existing "topology="
kernel parameter:

Specifying "topology=on" on machines without topology information will
generate the core siblings (fake) topology information, instead of the
default topology information where all cpus have the maximum distance.

On machines which provide topology information specifying
"topology=on" does not have any effect.

Heiko Carstens 673cfddf6e s390: fix 'novx' early parameter handling
Specifying the 'novx' kernel parameter always results in a warning:

Malformed early option 'novx'

The reason for this is that the novx early parameter handling function
always returns a non-zero value which means that an error occurred.
Fix this and return the correct zero value instead.

Martin Schwidefsky 6e2ef5e4f6 s390/time: add support for the TOD clock epoch extension
The TOD epoch extension adds 8 epoch bits to the TOD clock to provide
a continuous clock after 2042/09/17. The store-clock-extended (STCKE)
instruction will store the epoch index in the first byte of the
16 bytes stored by the instruction. The read_boot_clock64 and the
read_presistent_clock64 functions need to take the additional bits
into account to give the correct result after 2042/09/17.

The clock-comparator register will stay 64 bit wide. The comparison
of the clock-comparator with the TOD clock is limited to bytes
1 to 8 of the extended TOD format. To deal with the overflow problem
due to an epoch change the clock-comparator sign control in CR0 can
be used to switch the comparison of the 64-bit TOD clock with the
clock-comparator to a signed comparison.

The decision between the signed vs. unsigned clock-comparator
comparisons is done at boot time. Only if the TOD clock is in the
second half of a 142 year epoch the signed comparison is used.
This solves the epoch overflow issue as long as the machine is
booted at least once in an epoch.

If running within a level 3 hypervisor, the hypervisor provides a
SYSIB block which contains a control program indentifier string. Use

Martin Schwidefsky 916cda1aa1 s390: add a system call for guarded storage
This adds a new system call to enable the use of guarded storage for
user space processes. The system call takes two arguments, a command
and pointer to a guarded storage control block:

    s390_guarded_storage(int command, struct gs_cb *gs_cb);

The second argument is relevant only for the GS_SET_BC_CB command.

The commands in detail:

0 - GS_ENABLE
    Enable the guarded storage facility for the current task. The
    initial content of the guarded storage control block will be
    all zeros. After the enablement the user space code can use
    load-guarded-storage-controls instruction (LGSC) to load an
    arbitrary control block. While a task is enabled the kernel
    will save and restore the current content of the guarded
    storage registers on context switch.
1 - GS_DISABLE
    Disables the use of the guarded storage facility for the current
    task. The kernel will cease to save and restore the content of
    the guarded storage registers, the task specific content of
    these registers is lost.
2 - GS_SET_BC_CB
    Set a broadcast guarded storage control block. This is called
    per thread and stores a specific guarded storage control block
    in the task struct of the current task. This control block will
    be used for the broadcast event GS_BROADCAST.
3 - GS_CLEAR_BC_CB
    Clears the broadcast guarded storage control block. The guarded-
    storage control block is removed from the task struct that was
    established by GS_SET_BC_CB.
4 - GS_BROADCAST
    Sends a broadcast to all thread siblings of the current task.
    Every sibling that has established a broadcast guarded storage
    control block will load this control block and will be enabled
    for guarded storage. The broadcast guarded storage control block
    is used up, a second broadcast without a refresh of the stored
    control block with GS_SET_BC_CB will not have any effect.

Martin Schwidefsky 57d7f939e7 s390: add no-execute support
Bit 0x100 of a page table, segment table of region table entry
can be used to disallow code execution for the virtual addresses
associated with the entry.

There is one tricky bit, the system call to return from a signal
is part of the signal frame written to the user stack. With a
non-executable stack this would stop working. To avoid breaking
things the protection fault handler checks the opcode that caused
the fault for 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn) and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn)
and injects a system call. This is preferable to the alternative
solution with a stub function in the vdso because it works for
vdso=off and statically linked binaries as well.

Heiko Carstens 68cc795d19 s390/topology: make "topology=off" parameter work
The "topology=off" kernel parameter is supposed to prevent the kernel
to use hardware topology information to generate scheduling domains
etc.
For an unknown reason I implemented this in a very odd way back then:
instead of simply clearing the MACHINE_HAS_TOPOLOGY flag within the
lowcore I added a second variable which indicated that topology
information should not be used. This is more than suboptimal since it
partially doesn't work.  For the fake NUMA case topology information
is still considered and scheduling domains will be created based on
this.
To fix this and to simplify the code get rid of the extra variable and
implement the "topology=off" case like it is done for other features.

Instead of excluding more and more code from gcov/kcov instrumentation
provide an early memmove function which will be used to save ipl
parameters. The verification if these parameters are actually valid
will be done later.

Martin Schwidefsky 4027789192 s390/time: LPAR offset handling
It is possible to specify a user offset for the TOD clock, e.g. +2 hours.
The TOD clock will carry this offset even if the clock is synchronized
with STP. This makes the time stamps acquired with get_sync_clock()
useless as another LPAR migth use a different TOD offset.

Use the PTFF instrution to get the TOD epoch difference and subtract
it from the TOD clock value to get a physical timestamp. As the epoch
difference contains the sync check delta as well the LPAR offset value
to the physical clock needs to be refreshed after each clock
synchronization.

Heiko Carstens c933146a5e s390/ftrace,kprobes: allow to patch first instruction
If the function tracer is enabled, allow to set kprobes on the first
instruction of a function (which is the function trace caller):

If no kprobe is set handling of enabling and disabling function tracing
of a function simply patches the first instruction. Either it is a nop
(right now it's an unconditional branch, which skips the mcount block),
or it's a branch to the ftrace_caller() function.

If a kprobe is being placed on a function tracer calling instruction
we encode if we actually have a nop or branch in the remaining bytes
after the breakpoint instruction (illegal opcode).
This is possible, since the size of the instruction used for the nop
and branch is six bytes, while the size of the breakpoint is only
two bytes.
Therefore the first two bytes contain the illegal opcode and the last
four bytes contain either "0" for nop or "1" for branch. The kprobes
code will then execute/simulate the correct instruction.

Instruction patching for kprobes and function tracer is always done
with stop_machine(). Therefore we don't have any races where an
instruction is patched concurrently on a different cpu.
Besides that also the program check handler which executes the function
trace caller instruction won't be executed concurrently to any
stop_machine() execution.

This allows to keep full fault based kprobes handling which generates
correct pt_regs contents automatically.

Martin Schwidefsky 1b948d6cae s390/mm,tlb: optimize TLB flushing for zEC12
The zEC12 machines introduced the local-clearing control for the IDTE
and IPTE instruction. If the control is set only the TLB of the local
CPU is cleared of entries, either all entries of a single address space
for IDTE, or the entry for a single page-table entry for IPTE.
Without the local-clearing control the TLB flush is broadcasted to all
CPUs in the configuration, which is expensive.

The reset of the bit mask of the CPUs that need flushing after a
non-local IDTE is tricky. As TLB entries for an address space remain
in the TLB even if the address space is detached a new bit field is
required to keep track of attached CPUs vs. CPUs in the need of a
flush. After a non-local flush with IDTE the bit-field of attached CPUs
is copied to the bit-field of CPUs in need of a flush. The ordering
of operations on cpu_attach_mask, attach_count and mm_cpumask(mm) is
such that an underindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is prevented but an
overindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is possible.

Martin Schwidefsky 127c1fefff s390/mm: do not initialize storage keys
With dirty and referenced bits implemented in software it is unnecessary
to initialize the storage key for every page. With this patch not a single
storage key operation is done for a system that does not use KVM.
For KVM set_pte_at/pgste_set_key will do the initialization for the guest
view of the storage key when the mapping for the page is established in
the host.

Heiko Carstens df1bd59c5c s390/mem_detect: limit memory detection loop to "mem=" parameter
The current memory detection loop will detect all present memory of
a machine. This is true even if the user specified the "mem=" parameter
on the kernel command line.
This can be a problem since the memory detection may cause a fully
populated host page table for the guest, even for those parts of the
memory that the guest will never use afterwards.

So fix this and only detect memory up to a user supplied "mem=" limit
if specified.

The set-program-parameter (SPP) instruction has been renamed to
load-program-parameter (LPP) (see SA23-2260).  Reflect this change
and rename all macro/instruction references.

Also remove the duplicate SPP/LPP entry in the kernel disassembler
instruction list.

Heiko Carstens 3c7ef08bba s390/facilities: cleanup PFMF and HPAGE machine facility detection
MACHINE_HAS_PFMF and MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE actually have the same semantics:
the cpu has the EDAT1 facility installed in zArch mode. So remove one
of the feature flags in machine_flags and rename the other one to EDAT1.

The two old macros simply get mapped to MACHINE_HAS_EDAT1.

Heiko Carstens caf757c609 s390/sysinfo,stsi: change return code handling
Change return code handling of the stsi() function:

In case function code 0 was specified the return value is the
current configuration level (already shifted). That way all
the code that actually copied the stsi_0() function can go
away.

Otherwise the return value is 0 (success) or negative to
indicate an error (currently only -EOPNOTSUPP).

Also stsi() is no longer an inline function. The function is
not performance critical, but every caller would generate an
exception table entry for this function.

Heiko Carstens fade4dc491 s390/sysinfo,topology: fix cpu topology maximum nesting detection
The maximum nesting of the cpu topology is evaluated when /proc/sysinfo
is the first time read. This happens without a lock and a concurrent
reader on a different cpu can see and use an invalid intermediate value.
Besides the fact that this race is quite unlikely the worst thing that
could happen is that /proc/sysinfo would contain bogus information about
the machine's cpu topology.
Nevertheless this should be fixed. So move the detection code to the
early machine detection code and since now the value is early available
use it in the topology code as well.

Allow user-space processes to use transactional execution (TX).
If the TX facility is available user space programs can use
transactions for fine-grained serialization based on the data
objects that are referenced during a transaction. This is
useful for lockless data structures and speculative compiler

Heiko Carstens a53c8fab3f s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names
Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.
