The sysfs attributes /sys/bus/ap/apmask and /sys/bus/ap/aqmask and the kernel command line arguments ap.apm and ap.aqm get an improvement of the value parsing with this patch: The mask values are bitmaps in big endian order starting with bit 0. So adapter number 0 is the leftmost bit, mask is 0x8000... The sysfs attributes and the kernel command line accept 2 different formats: - Absolute hex string starting with 0x like "0x12345678" does set the mask starting from left to right. If the given string is shorter than the mask it is padded with 0s on the right. If the string is longer than the mask an error comes back (EINVAL). - Relative format - a concatenation (done with ',') of the terms +<bitnr>[-<bitnr>] or -<bitnr>[-<bitnr>]. <bitnr> may be any valid number (hex, decimal or octal) in the range 0...255. Here are some examples: "+0-15,+32,-128,-0xFF" "-0-255,+1-16,+0x128" Signed-off-by: Harald Freudenberger <freude@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

The current AP bus, AP devices and AP device drivers implementation uses a clearly defined mapping for binding AP devices to AP device drivers. So for example a CEX6C queue will always be bound to the cex4queue device driver. The Linux Device Driver model has no sensitivity for more than one device driver eligible for one device type. If there exist more than one drivers matching to the device type, simple all drivers are tried consecutively. There is no way to determine and influence the probing order of the drivers. With KVM there is a need to provide additional device drivers matching to the very same type of AP devices. With a simple implementation the KVM drivers run in competition to the regular drivers. Whichever 'wins' a device depends on build order and implementation details within the common Linux Device Driver Model and is not deterministic. However, a userspace process could figure out which device should be bound to which driver and sort out the correct binding by manipulating attributes in the sysfs. If for security reasons a AP device must not get bound to the 'wrong' device driver the sorting out has to be done within the Linux kernel by the AP bus code. This patch modifies the behavior of the AP bus for probing drivers for devices in a way that two sets of drivers are usable. Two new bitmasks 'apmask' and 'aqmask' are used to mark a subset of the APQN range for 'usable by the ap bus and the default drivers' or 'not usable by the default drivers and thus available for alternate drivers like vfio-xxx'. So an APQN which is addressed by this masking only the default drivers will be probed. In contrary an APQN which is not addressed by the masks will never be probed and bound to default drivers but onny to alternate drivers. Eventually the two masks give a way to divide the range of APQNs into two pools: one pool of APQNs used by the AP bus and the default drivers and thus via zcrypt drivers available to the userspace of the system. And another pool where no zcrypt drivers are bound to and which can be used by alternate drivers (like vfio-xxx) for their needs. This division is hot-plug save and makes sure a APQN assigned to an alternate driver is at no time somehow exploitable by the wrong party. The two masks are located in sysfs at /sys/bus/ap/apmask and /sys/bus/ap/aqmask. The mask syntax is exactly the same as the already existing mask attributes in the /sys/bus/ap directory (for example ap_usage_domain_mask and ap_control_domain_mask). By default all APQNs belong to the ap bus and the default drivers: cat /sys/bus/ap/apmask 0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff cat /sys/bus/ap/aqmask 0xffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff The masks can be changed at boot time with the kernel command line like this: ... ap.apmask=0xffff ap.aqmask=0x40 This would give these two pools: default drivers pool: adapter 0 - 15, domain 1 alternate drivers pool: adapter 0 - 15, all but domain 1 adapter 16-255, all domains The sysfs attributes for this two masks are writeable and an administrator is able to reconfigure the assignements on the fly by writing new mask values into. With changing the mask(s) a revision of the existing queue to driver bindings is done. So all APQNs which are bound to the 'wrong' driver are reprobed via kernel function device_reprobe() and thus the new correct driver will be assigned with respect of the changed apmask and aqmask bits. The mask values are bitmaps in big endian order starting with bit 0. So adapter number 0 is the leftmost bit, mask is 0x8000... The sysfs attributes accept 2 different formats: - Absolute hex string starting with 0x like "0x12345678" does set the mask starting from left to right. If the given string is shorter than the mask it is padded with 0s on the right. If the string is longer than the mask an error comes back (EINVAL). - '+' or '-' followed by a numerical value. Valid examples are "+1", "-13", "+0x41", "-0xff" and even "+0" and "-0". Only the addressed bit in the mask is switched on ('+') or off ('-'). This patch will also be the base for an upcoming extension to the zcrypt drivers to be able to provide additional zcrypt device nodes with filtering based on ap and aq masks.

For this function there are only two users, when 1) the elfcorehdr and 2) the vmcoreinfo is allocated. However a missing vmcoreinfo is not critical for kdump. So panicking when it cannot be allocated is not required. Remove kzalloc_panic and adjust its callers accordingly.

The vmcoreinfo of a crashed system is potentially fragmented. Thus the crash kernel has an intermediate step where the vmcoreinfo is copied into a temporary, continuous buffer in the crash kernel memory. This temporary buffer is never freed. Free it now to prevent the memleak. While at it replace all occurrences of "VMCOREINFO" by its corresponding macro to prevent potential renaming issues.

There are two ways to pass the vmcoreinfo to the crash kernel 1) via the os_info mechanism and 2) via the lowcore->vmcore_info field. In the Linux kernel only the second way is used. However, the first way is ABI for stand-alone kdump. So other OSes use it to pass additional debug info. Make the elfcorehdr size calculation aware of both possible ways.

During interrupt setup we allocate interrupt vectors, walk the list of msi descriptors, and fill in the message data. Requesting more interrupts than supported on s390 can lead to an out of bounds access. When we restrict the number of interrupts we should also stop walking the msi list after all supported interrupts are handled.

During review of KVM patches it was complained that the ap_instructions_available() function returns 0 if AP instructions are available and -ENODEV if not. The function acts like a boolean function to check for AP instructions available and thus should return 0 on failure and != 0 on success. Changed to the suggested behaviour and adapted the one and only caller of this function which is the ap bus core code.

The MIPS-specific (and unused in tree) ioremap_uncached_accelerated() & ioremap_cacheable_cow() are removed. - The prctl(PR_SET_FP_MODE, ...) syscall is better supported for SMP systems by reworking the way we ensure remote CPUs that may be running threads within the affected process switch mode. - Systems using the MIPS Coherence Manager will now set the MIPS_IC_SNOOPS_REMOTE flag to avoid some unnecessary cache maintenance overhead when flushing the icache. - A few fixes were made for building with clang/LLVM, which now sucessfully builds kernels for many of our platforms. - Miscellaneous cleanups all over. And some platform-specific changes: - ar7 gained stubs for a few clock API functions to fix build failures for some drivers. - ath79 gained support for a few new SoCs, a few fixes & better gpio-keys support. - Ci20 now exposes its SPI bus using the spi-gpio driver. - The generic platform can now auto-detect a suitable value for PHYS_OFFSET based upon the memory map described by the device tree, allowing us to avoid wasting memory on page book-keeping for systems where RAM starts at a non-zero physical address. - Ingenic systems using the jz4740 platform code now link their vmlinuz higher to allow for kernels of a realistic size. - Loongson32 now builds the kernel targeting MIPSr1 rather than MIPSr2 to avoid CPU errata. - Loongson64 gains a couple of fixes, a workaround for a write buffering issue & support for the Loongson 3A R3.1 CPU. - Malta now uses the piix4-poweroff driver to handle powering down. - Microsemi Ocelot gained support for its SPI bus & NOR flash, its second MDIO bus and can now be supported by a FIT/.itb image. - Octeon saw a bunch of header cleanups which remove a lot of duplicate or unused code" * tag 'mips_4.19' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/mips/linux: (123 commits) MIPS: Remove remnants of UASM_ISA MIPS: netlogic: xlr: Remove erroneous check in nlm_fmn_send() MIPS: VDSO: Force link endianness MIPS: Always specify -EB or -EL when using clang MIPS: Use dins to simplify __write_64bit_c0_split() MIPS: Use read-write output operand in __write_64bit_c0_split() MIPS: Avoid using array as parameter to write_c0_kpgd() MIPS: vdso: Allow clang's --target flag in VDSO cflags MIPS: genvdso: Remove GOT checks MIPS: Remove obsolete MIPS checks for DST node "chosen@0" MIPS: generic: Remove input symbols from defconfig MIPS: Delete unused code in linux32.c MIPS: Remove unused sys_32_mmap2 MIPS: Remove nabi_no_regargs mips: dts: mscc: enable spi and NOR flash support on ocelot PCB123 mips: dts: mscc: Add spi on Ocelot MIPS: Loongson: Merge load addresses MIPS: Loongson: Set Loongson32 to MIPS32R1 MIPS: mscc: ocelot: add interrupt controller properties to GPIO controller MIPS: generic: Select MIPS_AUTO_PFN_OFFSET ...

Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens: "Since Martin is on vacation you get the s390 pull request from me: - Host large page support for KVM guests. As the patches have large impact on arch/s390/mm/ this series goes out via both the KVM and the s390 tree. - Add an option for no compression to the "Kernel compression mode" menu, this will come in handy with the rework of the early boot code. - A large rework of the early boot code that will make life easier for KASAN and KASLR. With the rework the bootable uncompressed image is not generated anymore, only the bzImage is available. For debuggung purposes the new "no compression" option is used. - Re-enable the gcc plugins as the issue with the latent entropy plugin is solved with the early boot code rework. - More spectre relates changes: + Detect the etoken facility and remove expolines automatically. + Add expolines to a few more indirect branches. - A rewrite of the common I/O layer trace points to make them consumable by 'perf stat'. - Add support for format-3 PCI function measurement blocks. - Changes for the zcrypt driver: + Add attributes to indicate the load of cards and queues. + Restructure some code for the upcoming AP device support in KVM. - Build flags improvements in various Makefiles. - A few fixes for the kdump support. - A couple of patches for gcc 8 compile warning cleanup. - Cleanup s390 specific proc handlers. - Add s390 support to the restartable sequence self tests. - Some PTR_RET vs PTR_ERR_OR_ZERO cleanup. - Lots of bug fixes" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (107 commits) s390/dasd: fix hanging offline processing due to canceled worker s390/dasd: fix panic for failed online processing s390/mm: fix addressing exception after suspend/resume rseq/selftests: add s390 support s390: fix br_r1_trampoline for machines without exrl s390/lib: use expoline for all bcr instructions s390/numa: move initial setup of node_to_cpumask_map s390/kdump: Fix elfcorehdr size calculation s390/cpum_sf: save TOD clock base in SDBs for time conversion KVM: s390: Add huge page enablement control s390/mm: Add huge page gmap linking support s390/mm: hugetlb pages within a gmap can not be freed KVM: s390: Add skey emulation fault handling s390/mm: Add huge pmd storage key handling s390/mm: Clear skeys for newly mapped huge guest pmds s390/mm: Clear huge page storage keys on enable_skey s390/mm: Add huge page dirty sync support s390/mm: Add gmap pmd invalidation and clearing s390/mm: Add gmap pmd notification bit setting s390/mm: Add gmap pmd linking ...

Pull x86 cache QoS (RDT/CAR) updates from Thomas Gleixner: "Add support for pseudo-locked cache regions. Cache Allocation Technology (CAT) allows on certain CPUs to isolate a region of cache and 'lock' it. Cache pseudo-locking builds on the fact that a CPU can still read and write data pre-allocated outside its current allocated area on cache hit. With cache pseudo-locking data can be preloaded into a reserved portion of cache that no application can fill, and from that point on will only serve cache hits. The cache pseudo-locked memory is made accessible to user space where an application can map it into its virtual address space and thus have a region of memory with reduced average read latency. The locking is not perfect and gets totally screwed by WBINDV and similar mechanisms, but it provides a reasonable enhancement for certain types of latency sensitive applications. The implementation extends the current CAT mechanism and provides a generally useful exclusive CAT mode on which it builds the extra pseude-locked regions" * 'x86-cache-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (45 commits) x86/intel_rdt: Disable PMU access x86/intel_rdt: Fix possible circular lock dependency x86/intel_rdt: Make CPU information accessible for pseudo-locked regions x86/intel_rdt: Support restoration of subset of permissions x86/intel_rdt: Fix cleanup of plr structure on error x86/intel_rdt: Move pseudo_lock_region_clear() x86/intel_rdt: Limit C-states dynamically when pseudo-locking active x86/intel_rdt: Support L3 cache performance event of Broadwell x86/intel_rdt: More precise L2 hit/miss measurements x86/intel_rdt: Create character device exposing pseudo-locked region x86/intel_rdt: Create debugfs files for pseudo-locking testing x86/intel_rdt: Create resctrl debug area x86/intel_rdt: Ensure RDT cleanup on exit x86/intel_rdt: Resctrl files reflect pseudo-locked information x86/intel_rdt: Support creation/removal of pseudo-locked region x86/intel_rdt: Pseudo-lock region creation/removal core x86/intel_rdt: Discover supported platforms via prefetch disable bits x86/intel_rdt: Add utilities to test pseudo-locked region possibility x86/intel_rdt: Split resource group removal in two x86/intel_rdt: Enable entering of pseudo-locksetup mode ...
