<id>urn:sha1:779df2248739b6308c03b354c99e4c352141e3bc</id>
<content type='text'>
Add a small vdso for 31 bit compat application that provides
trampolines for calls to sigreturn,rt_sigreturn,syscall_restart.
This is requird for moving these syscalls away from the signal
frame to the vdso. Note that this patch effectively disables
CONFIG_COMPAT when using clang to compile the kernel. clang
doesn't support 31 bit mode.

We want to redirect sigreturn and restart_syscall to the vdso. However,
the kernel cannot parse the ELF vdso file, so we need to generate header
files which contain the offsets of the syscall instructions in the vdso
page.

<title>s390/cpumf: Allow concurrent access for CPU Measurement Counter Facility</title>

Commit cf6acb8bdb1d ("s390/cpumf: Add support for complete counter set extraction")
allows access to the CPU Measurement Counter Facility via character
device /dev/hwctr. The access was exclusive via this device or
via perf_event_open() system call. Only one path at a time was
permitted. The CPU Measurement Counter Facility device driver blocked
access to other processes.

This patch removes this restriction and allows concurrent access to
the CPU Measurement Counter Facility from multiple processes at the same
time via perf_event_open() SVC and via /dev/hwctr device. The access
via /dev/hwctr device is still exclusive, only one process is allowed to
access this device.

This patch
- moves the /dev/hwctr device access from file perf_cpum_cf_diag.c.
  to file perf_cpum_cf.c.
- use only one trace buffer .../s390dbf/cpum_cf.
- remove cfset_csd structure and includes its members it into the
  structure cpu_cf_events. This results in one data structure and
  simplifies the access.
- rework function familiy ctr_set_enable, ctr_set_disable, ctr_set_start
  and ctr_set_stop which operate on a counter set number.
  Now they operate on a counter set bit mask.
- move CF_DIAG event functionality to file perf_cpum_cf.c. It now
  contains the complete functionality of the CPU Measurement Counter
  Facility:
  - Performance measurement support for counters using perf stat.
  - Support for complete counter set extraction with device /dev/hwctr.
  - Support for counter set extraction event CF_DIAG attached to
    samples using perf record.
- removes file perf_cpum_cf_diag.c

<title>s390: convert to generic entry</title>

<id>urn:sha1:56e62a73702836017564eaacd5212e4d0fa1c01d</id>
<content type='text'>
This patch converts s390 to use the generic entry infrastructure from
kernel/entry/*.

There are a few special things on s390:

- PIF_PER_TRAP is moved to TIF_PER_TRAP as the generic code doesn't
  know about our PIF flags in exit_to_user_mode_loop().

- The old code had several ways to restart syscalls:

  a) PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART, which was only set during execve to force a
     restart after upgrading a process (usually qemu-kvm) to pgste page
     table extensions.

  b) PIF_SYSCALL, which is set by do_signal() to indicate that the
     current syscall should be restarted. This is changed so that
     do_signal() now also uses PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART. Continuing to use
     PIF_SYSCALL doesn't work with the generic code, and changing it
     to PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART makes PIF_SYSCALL and PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART
     more unique.

- On s390 calling sys_sigreturn or sys_rt_sigreturn is implemented by
executing a svc instruction on the process stack which causes a fault.
While handling that fault the fault code sets PIF_SYSCALL to hand over
processing to the syscall code on exit to usermode.

The patch introduces PIF_SYSCALL_RET_SET, which is set if ptrace sets
a return value for a syscall. The s390x ptrace ABI uses r2 both for the
syscall number and return value, so ptrace cannot set the syscall number +
return value at the same time. The flag makes handling that a bit easier.
do_syscall() will just skip executing the syscall if PIF_SYSCALL_RET_SET
is set.

CONFIG_DEBUG_ASCE was removd in favour of the generic CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY.
CR1/7/13 will be checked both on kernel entry and exit to contain the
correct asces.

<title>s390/kprobes: move insn_page to text segment</title>

<id>urn:sha1:b61e1f3281c5a53f24f47849873463514f58c1b8</id>
<content type='text'>
Move the in-kernel kprobes insn page to text segment. Rationale:
having that page in rw data segment is suboptimal, since as soon as a
kprobe is set, this will split the 1:1 kernel mapping for a single
page which get new permissions.

Note: there is always at least one kprobe present for the kretprobe
trampoline; so the mapping will always be split into smaller 4k
mappings because of this.

Moving the kprobes insn page into text segment makes sure that the
page is mapped RO/X in any case, and avoids that the 1:1 mapping is
split.

The kprobe insn_page is defined as a dummy function which is filled
with "br %r14" instructions.

s390 uses the UTS_MACHINE defined arch/s390/Makefile as follows:

  UTS_MACHINE     := s390x

We do not need to pass the fixed string from the command line.
Hard-code user_regset_view::name, like many other architectures do.

   - New dirty bitmap flag that sets all bits in the bitmap when dirty

   - Initial work on making nested SVM event injection more similar to
     VMX, and less buggy.

   - Various cleanups to MMU code (though the big ones and related

     standardized on "pgd".

     parallels the core x86_features.

   - Some removal of pointer chasing from kvm_x86_ops, which will also

Hibernation is known to be broken for many years on s390. Given that
there aren't any real use cases, remove the code instead of spending
time to fix and maintain it.

Without hibernate support it doesn't make too much sense to keep power
management support; therefore remove it completely.
