As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory. Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.

The call to add_timer was issued before local_int.lock was taken and before
timer_due was set to 0. If the timer expires before the lock is being taken,
the timer function will set timer_due to 1 and exit before the vcpu falls
asleep. Depending on other external events, the vcpu might sleep forever.
This fix pulls setting timer_due to the beginning of the function before
add_timer, which ensures correct behavior.

The low-level interrupt handler on s390 checks for _TIF_WORK_INT and
exits the guest context, if work is pending.
TIF_WORK_INT is defined as_TIF_SIGPENDING | _TIF_NEED_RESCHED |
_TIF_MCCK_PENDING. Currently the sie loop checks for signals and
reschedule, but it does not check for machine checks. That means that
we exit the guest context if a machine check is pending, but we do not
handle the machine check.

There are potential locking problem in enable_sie. We take the task_lock
and the mmap_sem. As exit_mm uses the same locks vice versa, this triggers
a lockdep warning.
The second problem is that dup_mm and mmput might sleep, so we must not
hold the task_lock at that moment.
The solution is to dup the mm unconditional and use the task_lock before and
afterwards to check if we can use the new mm. dup_mm and mmput are called
outside the task_lock, but we run update_mm while holding the task_lock,
protection us against ptrace.

This fixes the last remaining section mismatch warnings in s390
architecture code. It reveals also a real bug introduced by... me
with git commit 2069e978d5
("[S390] sparsemem vmemmap: initialize memmap.")
Calling the generic vmemmap_alloc_block() function to get initialized
memory is a nice idea, however that function is __meminit annotated
and therefore the function might be gone if we try to call it later.
This can happen if a DCSS segment gets added.
So basically revert the patch and clear the memmap explicitly to fix

This patch fixes a bug with cpu bound guest on kvm-s390. Sometimes it
was impossible to deliver a signal to a spinning guest. We used
preemption as a circumvention. The preemption notifiers called
vcpu_load, which checked for pending signals and triggered a host
intercept. But even with preemption, a sigkill was not delivered
immediately.
This patch changes the low level host interrupt handler to check for the
SIE instruction, if TIF_WORK is set. In that case we change the
instruction pointer of the return PSW to rerun the vcpu_run loop. The kvm
code sees an intercept reason 0 if that happens. This patch adds accounting
for these types of intercept as well.
The advantages:
- works with and without preemption
- signals are delivered immediately
- much better host latencies without preemption

This replaces the duplicated arch-specific versions of "sys_pipe()" with
one unified implementation. This removes almost 250 lines of duplicated
code.
It's marked __weak, so that *if* an architecture wants to override the
default implementation it can do so by simply having its own replacement
version, since many architectures use alternate calling conventions for
the 'pipe()' system call for legacy reasons (ie traditional UNIX
implementations often return the two file descriptors in registers)

isn't needed. The arch maintainer can easily do it if there are really

When we get a notification that cpu topology changed, we schedule a
work struct which just calls arch_reinit_sched_domains. This function
in turn calls get_online_cpus() which results int the lockdep warning
below.
After all it turnded out that it's not legal to call get_online_cpus()
from the context of a multi-threaded work queue.
It could deadlock this way:
process 0 (events/cpu-x):
-> run_workqueue
-> removes my work_struct from the work queue
-> calls work_struct->fn
-> get_online_cpus()
-> locks on cpu_hotplug.lock since process 1 below is doing cpu hotplug
process 1:
-> cpu_down (for cpu-x)
-> cpu_hotplug_begin (holds cpu_hotplug.lock now)
-> cpu-x dead
-> notifier_call_chain with CPU_DEAD
-> cleanup_workqueue_thread
-> flush_cpu_workqueue (succeeds)
-> kthread_stop for events/cpu-x
-> now kthread_stop waits for my work_struct to complete from within
process 0. -> dead.
A single threaded workqueue wouldn't have such problems, however there is
no such common queue available and it's not worth to create one for the
very rare calls to arch_reinit_sched_domains.
So we just create a kernel thread from our work struct which calls
arch_reinit_sched_domains and are done with it.
Thanks to Oleg Nesterov and Peter Zijlstra for helping me figuring out
that this isn't a false positive lockdep warning:

This patch introduces interpretation of some diagnose instruction intercepts.
Diagnose is our classic architected way of doing a hypercall. This patch
features the following diagnose codes:
- vm storage size, that tells the guest about its memory layout
- time slice end, which is used by the guest to indicate that it waits
for a lock and thus cannot use up its time slice in a useful way
- ipl functions, which a guest can use to reset and reboot itself
In order to implement ipl functions, we also introduce an exit reason that
causes userspace to perform various resets on the virtual machine. All resets
are described in the principles of operation book, except KVM_S390_RESET_IPL
which causes a reboot of the machine.

This patch introduces in-kernel handling of _some_ sigp interprocessor
signals (similar to ipi).
kvm_s390_handle_sigp() decodes the sigp instruction and calls individual
handlers depending on the operation requested:
- sigp sense tries to retrieve information such as existence or running state
of the remote cpu
- sigp emergency sends an external interrupt to the remove cpu
- sigp stop stops a remove cpu
- sigp stop store status stops a remote cpu, and stores its entire internal
state to the cpus lowcore
- sigp set arch sets the architecture mode of the remote cpu. setting to
ESAME (s390x 64bit) is accepted, setting to ESA/S390 (s390, 31 or 24 bit) is
denied, all others are passed to userland
- sigp set prefix sets the prefix register of a remote cpu
For implementation of this, the stop intercept indication starts to get reused
on purpose: a set of action bits defines what to do once a cpu gets stopped:
ACTION_STOP_ON_STOP really stops the cpu when a stop intercept is recognized
ACTION_STORE_ON_STOP stores the cpu status to lowcore when a stop intercept is
recognized

This patch contains the s390 interrupt subsystem (similar to in kernel apic)
including timer interrupts (similar to in-kernel-pit) and enabled wait
(similar to in kernel hlt).
In order to achieve that, this patch also introduces intercept handling
for instruction intercepts, and it implements load control instructions.
This patch introduces an ioctl KVM_S390_INTERRUPT which is valid for both
the vm file descriptors and the vcpu file descriptors. In case this ioctl is
issued against a vm file descriptor, the interrupt is considered floating.
Floating interrupts may be delivered to any virtual cpu in the configuration.
The following interrupts are supported:
SIGP STOP - interprocessor signal that stops a remote cpu
SIGP SET PREFIX - interprocessor signal that sets the prefix register of a
(stopped) remote cpu
INT EMERGENCY - interprocessor interrupt, usually used to signal need_reshed
and for smp_call_function() in the guest.
PROGRAM INT - exception during program execution such as page fault, illegal
instruction and friends
RESTART - interprocessor signal that starts a stopped cpu
INT VIRTIO - floating interrupt for virtio signalisation
INT SERVICE - floating interrupt for signalisations from the system
service processor
struct kvm_s390_interrupt, which is submitted as ioctl parameter when injecting
an interrupt, also carrys parameter data for interrupts along with the interrupt
type. Interrupts on s390 usually have a state that represents the current
operation, or identifies which device has caused the interruption on s390.
kvm_s390_handle_wait() does handle waitpsw in two flavors: in case of a
disabled wait (that is, disabled for interrupts), we exit to userspace. In case
of an enabled wait we set up a timer that equals the cpu clock comparator value
and sleep on a wait queue.

This path introduces handling of sie intercepts in three flavors: Intercepts
are either handled completely in-kernel by kvm_handle_sie_intercept(),
or passed to userspace with corresponding data in struct kvm_run in case
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() returns -ENOTSUPP.
In case of partial execution in kernel with the need of userspace support,
kvm_handle_sie_intercept() may choose to set up struct kvm_run and return
-EREMOTE.
The trivial intercept reasons are handled in this patch:
handle_noop() just does nothing for intercepts that don't require our support
at all
handle_stop() is called when a cpu enters stopped state, and it drops out to
userland after updating our vcpu state
handle_validity() faults in the cpu lowcore if needed, or passes the request
to userland

This patch contains the port of Qumranet's kvm kernel module to IBM zSeries
(aka s390x, mainframe) architecture. It uses the mainframe's virtualization
instruction SIE to run virtual machines with up to 64 virtual CPUs each.
This port is only usable on 64bit host kernels, and can only run 64bit guest
kernels. However, running 31bit applications in guest userspace is possible.
The following source files are introduced by this patch
arch/s390/kvm/kvm-s390.c similar to arch/x86/kvm/x86.c, this implements all
arch callbacks for kvm. __vcpu_run calls back into
sie64a to enter the guest machine context
arch/s390/kvm/sie64a.S assembler function sie64a, which enters guest
context via SIE, and switches world before and after that
include/asm-s390/kvm_host.h contains all vital data structures needed to run
virtual machines on the mainframe
include/asm-s390/kvm.h defines kvm_regs and friends for user access to
guest register content
arch/s390/kvm/gaccess.h functions similar to uaccess to access guest memory

The SIE instruction on s390 uses the 2nd half of the page table page to
virtualize the storage keys of a guest. This patch offers the s390_enable_sie
function, which reorganizes the page tables of a single-threaded process to
reserve space in the page table:
s390_enable_sie makes sure that the process is single threaded and then uses
dup_mm to create a new mm with reorganized page tables. The old mm is freed
and the process has now a page status extended field after every page table.
Code that wants to exploit pgstes should SELECT CONFIG_PGSTE.
This patch has a small common code hit, namely making dup_mm non-static.
Edit (Carsten): I've modified Martin's patch, following Jeremy Fitzhardinge's
review feedback. Now we do have the prototype for dup_mm in
include/linux/sched.h. Following Martin's suggestion, s390_enable_sie() does now
call task_lock() to prevent race against ptrace modification of mm_users.

Newer s390 models have a breaking-event-address-recording register.
Each time an instruction causes a break in the sequential instruction
execution, the address is saved in that hardware register. On a program
interrupt the address is copied to the lowcore address 272-279, which
makes it software accessible.
This patch changes the program check handler and the stack overflow
checker to copy the value into the pt_regs argument.
The oops output is enhanced to show the last known breaking address.
It might give additional information if the stack trace is corrupted.
The feature is only available on 64 bit.
The new oops output looks like:

This is more or less the same that was done for sparc64.

This way we get rid of s390's NO_IDLE_HZ and use the generic dynticks
variant instead. In addition we get high resolution timers for free.

Remove the program check generating monitor calls and use function
calls instead. Theres is no real advantage in using monitor calls,
but they do make debugging harder, because of all the program checks
it generates.

The new function supports setting of permissions for the debugfs files
created by the debug feature. In addition to that, the function provides
uid and gid as parameters for future use. Currently only root is allowed
for uid and gid.

Add get_clock_xt to read an 8 byte clock value using store clock
extended (STCKE) and use get_clock_xt for sched_clock. STCKE should
be faster than STCK on newer machines.

If vertical cpu polarization is active then the hypervisor will
dispatch certain cpus for a longer time than other cpus for maximum
performance. For example if a guest would have three virtual cpus,
each of them with a share of 33 percent, then in case of vertical
cpu polarization all of the processing time would be combined to a
single cpu which would run all the time, while the other two cpus
would get nearly no cpu time.
There are three different types of vertical cpus: high, medium and
low. Low cpus hardly get any real cpu time, while high cpus get a
full real cpu. Medium cpus get something in between.
In order to switch between the two possible modes (default is
horizontal) a 0 for horizontal polarization or a 1 for vertical
polarization must be written to the dispatching sysfs attribute:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/dispatching
The polarization of each single cpu can be figured out by the
polarization sysfs attribute of each cpu:
/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/polarization
horizontal, vertical:high, vertical:medium, vertical:low or unknown.
When switching polarization the polarization attribute may contain
the value unknown until the configuration change is done and the
kernel has figured out the new polarization of each cpu.
Note that running a system with different types of vertical cpus may
result in significant performance regressions. If possible only one
type of vertical cpus should be used. All other cpus should be
offlined.
