Remove the support to create a z/VM named saved segment (NSS). This
feature is not supported since quite a while in favour of jump labels,
function tracing and (now) CPU alternatives. All of these features
require to write to the kernel text section which is not possible if
the kernel is contained within an NSS.
Given that memory savings are minimal if kernel images are shared and
in addition updates of shared images are painful, the NSS feature can
be removed.

"License cleanup: add SPDX license identifiers to some files
Many source files in the tree are missing licensing information, which
makes it harder for compliance tools to determine the correct license.
By default all files without license information are under the default
license of the kernel, which is GPL version 2.
Update the files which contain no license information with the
'GPL-2.0' SPDX license identifier. The SPDX identifier is a legally
binding shorthand, which can be used instead of the full boiler plate
text.
This patch is based on work done by Thomas Gleixner and Kate Stewart
and Philippe Ombredanne.
How this work was done:
Patches were generated and checked against linux-4.14-rc6 for a subset
of the use cases:
- file had no licensing information it it.
- file was a */uapi/* one with no licensing information in it,
- file was a */uapi/* one with existing licensing information,
Further patches will be generated in subsequent months to fix up cases
where non-standard license headers were used, and references to
license had to be inferred by heuristics based on keywords.
The analysis to determine which SPDX License Identifier to be applied
to a file was done in a spreadsheet of side by side results from of
the output of two independent scanners (ScanCode & Windriver)
producing SPDX tag:value files created by Philippe Ombredanne.
Philippe prepared the base worksheet, and did an initial spot review
of a few 1000 files.
The 4.13 kernel was the starting point of the analysis with 60,537
files assessed. Kate Stewart did a file by file comparison of the
scanner results in the spreadsheet to determine which SPDX license
identifier(s) to be applied to the file. She confirmed any
determination that was not immediately clear with lawyers working with
the Linux Foundation.
Criteria used to select files for SPDX license identifier tagging was:
- Files considered eligible had to be source code files.
- Make and config files were included as candidates if they contained
>5 lines of source
- File already had some variant of a license header in it (even if <5
lines).
All documentation files were explicitly excluded.
The following heuristics were used to determine which SPDX license
identifiers to apply.
- when both scanners couldn't find any license traces, file was
considered to have no license information in it, and the top level
COPYING file license applied.
For non */uapi/* files that summary was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 11139
and resulted in the first patch in this series.
If that file was a */uapi/* path one, it was "GPL-2.0 WITH
Linux-syscall-note" otherwise it was "GPL-2.0". Results of that
was:
SPDX license identifier # files
---------------------------------------------------|-------
GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note 930
and resulted in the second patch in this series.
- if a file had some form of licensing information in it, and was one
of the */uapi/* ones, it was denoted with the Linux-syscall-note if
any GPL family license was found in the file or had no licensing in
it (per prior point). Results summary:

((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) OR MIT) 3
((GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note) AND MIT) 1
and that resulted in the third patch in this series.
- when the two scanners agreed on the detected license(s), that
became the concluded license(s).
- when there was disagreement between the two scanners (one detected
a license but the other didn't, or they both detected different
licenses) a manual inspection of the file occurred.
- In most cases a manual inspection of the information in the file
resulted in a clear resolution of the license that should apply
(and which scanner probably needed to revisit its heuristics).
- When it was not immediately clear, the license identifier was
confirmed with lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
- If there was any question as to the appropriate license identifier,
the file was flagged for further research and to be revisited later
in time.
In total, over 70 hours of logged manual review was done on the
spreadsheet to determine the SPDX license identifiers to apply to the
source files by Kate, Philippe, Thomas and, in some cases,
confirmation by lawyers working with the Linux Foundation.
Kate also obtained a third independent scan of the 4.13 code base from
FOSSology, and compared selected files where the other two scanners
disagreed against that SPDX file, to see if there was new insights.
The Windriver scanner is based on an older version of FOSSology in
part, so they are related.
Thomas did random spot checks in about 500 files from the spreadsheets
for the uapi headers and agreed with SPDX license identifier in the
files he inspected. For the non-uapi files Thomas did random spot
checks in about 15000 files.
In initial set of patches against 4.14-rc6, 3 files were found to have
copy/paste license identifier errors, and have been fixed to reflect
the correct identifier.
Additionally Philippe spent 10 hours this week doing a detailed manual
inspection and review of the 12,461 patched files from the initial
patch version early this week with:
- a full scancode scan run, collecting the matched texts, detected
license ids and scores
- reviewing anything where there was a license detected (about 500+
files) to ensure that the applied SPDX license was correct
- reviewing anything where there was no detection but the patch
license was not GPL-2.0 WITH Linux-syscall-note to ensure that the
applied SPDX license was correct
This produced a worksheet with 20 files needing minor correction. This
worksheet was then exported into 3 different .csv files for the
different types of files to be modified.
These .csv files were then reviewed by Greg. Thomas wrote a script to
parse the csv files and add the proper SPDX tag to the file, in the
format that the file expected. This script was further refined by Greg
based on the output to detect more types of files automatically and to
distinguish between header and source .c files (which need different
comment types.) Finally Greg ran the script using the .csv files to
generate the patches.

The new detection code for guest machine checks added a check based
on %r11 to .Lcleanup_sie to distinguish between normal asynchronous
interrupts and machine checks. But the funtion is called from the
program check handler as well with an undefined value in %r11.
The effect is that all program exceptions pointing to the SIE instruction
will set the CIF_MCCK_GUEST bit. The bit stays set for the CPU until the
next machine check comes in which will incorrectly be interpreted as a
guest machine check.
The simplest fix is to stop using .Lcleanup_sie in the program check
handler and duplicate a few instructions.

The validation of the CPU registers in the machine check handler is

The second part is done a bit later in s390_do_machine_check for all

the guarded storage registers, the TOD programmable registers and the

The smp_send_stop() function can be called from s390_handle_damage
while DAT is off. This happens if a machine check indicates that
kernel gprs or control registers can not be restored. The function
smp_send_stop reenables DAT via __load_psw_mask. That should work
for the case of lost kernel gprs and the system will do the expected
stop of all CPUs. But if control registers are lost, in particular
CR13 with the home space ASCE, interesting secondary crashes may
occur.
Make smp_emergency_stop callable from nmi.c and remove the cpumask

Implement CPU alternatives, which allows to optionally patch newer
instructions at runtime, based on CPU facilities availability.
A new kernel boot parameter "noaltinstr" disables patching.
Current implementation is derived from x86 alternatives. Although
ideal instructions padding (when altinstr is longer then oldinstr)
is added at compile time, and no oldinstr nops optimization has to be
done at runtime. Also couple of compile time sanity checks are done:
1. oldinstr and altinstr must be <= 254 bytes long,
2. oldinstr and altinstr must not have an odd length.
alternative(oldinstr, altinstr, facility);
alternative_2(oldinstr, altinstr1, facility1, altinstr2, facility2);
Both compile time and runtime padding consists of either 6/4/2 bytes nop
or a jump (brcl) + 2 bytes nop filler if padding is longer then 6 bytes.
.altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections are part of
__init_begin : __init_end region and are freed after initialization.

The queued spinlock code for s390 follows the principles of the common
code qspinlock implementation but with a few notable differences.
The format of the spinlock_t locking word differs, s390 needs to store
the logical CPU number of the lock holder in the spinlock_t to be able
to use the diagnose 9c directed yield hypervisor call.
The inline code sequences for spin_lock and spin_unlock are nice and
short. The inline portion of a spin_lock now typically looks like this:
lhi %r0,0 # 0 indicates an empty lock
l %r1,0x3a0 # CPU number + 1 from lowcore
cs %r0,%r1,<some_lock> # lock operation
jnz call_wait # on failure call wait function
locked:
...
call_wait:
la %r2,<some_lock>
brasl %r14,arch_spin_lock_wait
j locked
A spin_unlock is as simple as before:
lhi %r0,0
sth %r0,2(%r2) # unlock operation
After a CPU has queued itself it may not enable interrupts again for the
arch_spin_lock_flags() variant. The arch_spin_lock_wait_flags wait function
is removed.
To improve performance the code implements opportunistic lock stealing.
If the wait function finds a spinlock_t that indicates that the lock is
free but there are queued waiters, the CPU may steal the lock up to three
times without queueing itself. The lock stealing update the steal counter
in the lock word to prevent more than 3 steals. The counter is reset at
the time the CPU next in the queue successfully takes the lock.
While the queued spinlocks improve performance in a system with dedicated
CPUs, in a virtualized environment with continuously overcommitted CPUs
the queued spinlocks can have a negative effect on performance. This
is due to the fact that a queued CPU that is preempted by the hypervisor
will block the queue at some point even without holding the lock. With
the classic spinlock it does not matter if a CPU is preempted that waits
for the lock. Therefore use the queued spinlock code only if the system
runs with dedicated CPUs and fall back to classic spinlocks when running
with shared CPUs.

Free data structures required for guarded storage from
arch_release_task_struct(). This allows to simplify the code a bit,
and also makes the semantics a bit easier: arch_release_task_struct()
is never called from the task that is being removed.
In addition this allows to get rid of exit_thread() in a later patch.

If the guarded storage regset for current is supposed to be changed,
the regset from user space is copied directly into the guarded storage
control block.
If then the process gets scheduled away while the control block is
being copied and before the new control block has been loaded, the
result is random: the process can be scheduled away due to a page
fault or preemption. If that happens the already copied parts will be
overwritten by save_gs_cb(), called from switch_to().
Avoid this by copying the data to a temporary buffer on the stack and
do the actual update with preemption disabled.

For PREEMPT enabled kernels the guarded storage (GS) code contains a
possible use-after-free bug. If a task that makes use of GS exits, it
will execute do_exit() while still enabled for preemption.
That function will call exit_thread_runtime_instr() via exit_thread().
If exit_thread_gs() gets preempted after the GS control block of the
task has been freed but before the pointer to it is set to NULL, then
save_gs_cb(), called from switch_to(), will write to already freed
memory.
Avoid this and simply disable preemption while freeing the control
block and setting the pointer to NULL.

Add a new sysctl file /proc/sys/s390/topology which displays if

parameter.

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.

cpumask: make "nr_cpumask_bits" unsigned
If a per-thread event is not attached to any CPU, the cpu field
in struct perf_event is -1. The above commit converts the CPU number
to unsigned int, which result in an illegal CPU number.

Pull namespace updates from Eric Biederman:
"Life has been busy and I have not gotten half as much done this round
as I would have liked. I delayed it so that a minor conflict
resolution with the mips tree could spend a little time in linux-next
before I sent this pull request.
This includes two long delayed user namespace changes from Kirill
Tkhai. It also includes a very useful change from Serge Hallyn that
allows the security capability attribute to be used inside of user
namespaces. The practical effect of this is people can now untar
tarballs and install rpms in user namespaces. It had been suggested to
generalize this and encode some of the namespace information
information in the xattr name. Upon close inspection that makes the
things that should be hard easy and the things that should be easy
more expensive.
Then there is my bugfix/cleanup for signal injection that removes the
magic encoding of the siginfo union member from the kernel internal
si_code. The mips folks reported the case where I had used FPE_FIXME
me is impossible so I have remove FPE_FIXME from mips, while at the
same time including a return statement in that case to keep gcc from
complaining about unitialized variables.
I almost finished the work to get make copy_siginfo_to_user a trivial
copy to user. The code is available at:
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/ebiederm/user-namespace.git neuter-copy_siginfo_to_user-v3
But I did not have time/energy to get the code posted and reviewed
before the merge window opened.
I was able to see that the security excuse for just copying fields
that we know are initialized doesn't work in practice there are buggy
initializations that don't initialize the proper fields in siginfo. So
we still sometimes copy unitialized data to userspace"

Unsigned long long and unsigned long were different in size for 31-bit.
For 64-bit the size for both datatypes is 8 Bytes and since the support
for 31-bit is long gone we can clean up a little and change everything
to unsigned long.
Change get_phys_clock() along the way to accept unsigned long as well so
that the DASD code can be consistent.
