* [S390] Remove data execution protectionMartin Schwidefsky2011-05-23
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [S390] fix tlb flushing vs. concurrent /proc accessesMartin Schwidefsky2010-08-24
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] cpumask: use mm_cpumask() wrapperRusty Russell2009-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | Makes code futureproof against the impending change to mm->cpu_vm_mask. It's also a chance to use the new cpumask_ ops which take a pointer (the older ones are deprecated, but there's no hurry for arch code).
