* [S390] kprobes: Align probe address.David Wilder2007-03-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Running a probe on s390 with a probe address that is not 4 byte aligned results in a Kernel BUG. The problem is that the stura instruction used by swap_instruction requires the destination address to be 4 byte aligned. As stura only writes 4 bytes, aligning to the next 4 byte aligned address results in the breakpoint instruction being stored past the probe address. The fix is to align the address backward (to the previous 4 byte aligned address) and writing the two byte breakpoint instruction in the appropriate bytes.

* [S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.Gerald Schaefer2007-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched (kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space). Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than 0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory is accessed using the base register related to the access register, the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

* [S390] kprobes breaks BUG_ONMartin Schwidefsky2007-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | The illegal operation handler calls the die notifier with DIE_BPT to let kprobes pick up its breakpoint. If kprobes does not find its breakpoint it returns NOTIFY_STOP instead of NOTIFY_DONE. Since we use stop_machine_run on s390 to arm/disarm the kprobes breakpoints the race that kprobe_handler tries to solve by checking for the kprobes breakpoints does not exist. Removing the check makes BUG_ON working again. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

* [PATCH] sysctl: remove insert_at_head from register_sysctlEric W. Biederman2007-02-14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The semantic effect of insert_at_head is that it would allow new registered sysctl entries to override existing sysctl entries of the same name. Which is pain for caching and the proc interface never implemented. I have done an audit and discovered that none of the current users of register_sysctl care as (excpet for directories) they do not register duplicate sysctl entries. So this patch simply removes the support for overriding existing entries in the sys_sysctl interface since no one uses it or cares and it makes future enhancments harder. Signed-off-by: Eric W.

We later do special things with CONFIG_ZONE_DMA after the VM and an arch are prepared to work without ZONE_DMA. CONFIG_ZONE_DMA can be defined in two ways depending on how an architecture handles ISA DMA. First if CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA is set by the arch then we know that the arch needs ZONE_DMA because ISA DMA devices are supported. We can catch this in mm/Kconfig and do not need to modify arch code. Second, arches may use ZONE_DMA in an unknown way. We set CONFIG_ZONE_DMA for all arches that do not set CONFIG_GENERIC_ISA_DMA in order to insure backwards compatibility. The arches may later undefine ZONE_DMA if their arch code has been verified to not depend on ZONE_DMA.

* [S390] noexec protectionGerald Schaefer2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data. As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses (storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the data addresses. The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU list). Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn) and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored behind the signal stack frame. This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works for user space. After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the page tables need to be walked manually.

* [S390] move crypto options and some cleanup.Jan Glauber2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | This patch moves the config options for the s390 crypto instructions to the standard "Hardware crypto devices" menu. In addition some cleanup has been done: use a flag for supported keylengths, add a warning about machien limitation, return ENOTSUPP in case the hardware has no support, remove superfluous printks and update email addresses.
