| * | s390/entry: fix svc number for TIF_SYSCALL system call restartMartin Schwidefsky2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The load of the svc number in the TIF_SYSCALL restart path needs to be done with an instruction that loads all 64 bits of %r1, 'lh' only loads 32 bits. If the upper half of %r1 is not zero and has the msb set, entry64.S will try to execute an svc with a really large number. What will be in the upper half of %r1 depends on the code generated by gcc for the functions on the do_signal() callchain. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

| * | s390/mm: let kernel text section always begin at 1MBHeiko Carstens2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Let the kernel text section always begin at 1MB. This allows to always have a large frame in the identity mapping of the kernel image for beginning of the text section, if the machine has EDAT1 support. Moving the beginning from 64K to 1MB doesn't cost any memory, since we make the memory between 64K and 1MB available for the page allocator.

| * | s390/mm: fix mapping of read-only kernel text sectionHeiko Carstens2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Within the identity mapping the kernel text section is mapped read-only. However when mapping the first and last page of the text section we must round upwards and downwards respectively, if only parts of a page belong to the section. Otherwise potential rw data can be mapped read-only. So the rounding must be done just the other way we have it right now.

| * | s390/mm: fix pmd_huge() usage for kernel mappingHeiko Carstens2012-10-09
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | pmd_huge() will always return 0 on !HUGETLBFS, however we use that helper function when walking the kernel page tables to decide if we have a 1MB page frame or not. Since we create 1MB frames for the kernel 1:1 mapping independently of HUGETLBFS this can lead to incorrect storage accesses since the code can assume that we have a pointer to a page table instead of a pointer to a 1MB frame. Fix this by adding a pmd_large() primitive like other architectures have it already and remove all references to HUGETLBFS/HUGETLBPAGE from the code that walks kernel page tables.

Architectures can define __ARCH_WANT_KERNEL_EXECVE and use it, provided that * they have working current_pt_regs(), even for kernel threads. * kernel_thread-spawned threads do have space for pt_regs in the normal location. Normally that's as simple as switching to generic kernel_thread() and making sure that kernel threads do *not* go through return from syscall path; call the payload from equivalent of ret_from_fork if we are in a kernel thread (or just have separate ret_from_kernel_thread and make copy_thread() use it instead of ret_from_fork in kernel thread case). * they have ret_from_kernel_execve(); it is called after successful do_execve() done by kernel_execve() and gets normal pt_regs location passed to it as argument. It's essentially a longjmp() analog - it should set sp, etc. to the situation expected at the return for syscall and go there. Eventually the need for that sucker will disappear, but that'll take some surgery on kernel_thread() payloads. Signed-off-by: Al Viro <viro@zeniv.linux.org.uk>

However, if an architecture can optimize that, it can do so by making a macro of its own available from asm/ptrace.h. More importantly, some architectures have task_pt_regs() working only for traced tasks blocked on signal delivery. current_pt_regs() needs to work for *all* processes, so before those architectures start using stuff relying on current_pt_regs() they'll need a properly working variant.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | we only use that to tell copy_thread() done by syscall from that done by kernel_thread().
