2025-03-04s390/lowcore: Convert relocated lowcore alternative to machine featureHeiko Carstens
Convert the explicit relocated lowcore alternative type to a more generic machine feature. This only reduces the number of alternative types, but has no impact on code generation.

2025-03-04s390: Static branches for machine features infrastructureHeiko Carstens
Provide infrastructure which allows to generate machine_has_<feature>() functions, which are replacing the existing MACHINE_HAS_<feature> macros. Such function usages generate a static branch depending on <feature>. The static branch is patched using an alternative. Each <feature> correlates with a bit set in the machine_features bit field. If the corresponding bit is set, the branch will be patched. In order to have any effect on branch patching feature bits must be set with set_machine_features() in the decompressor before alternatives patching of the kernel image. It is possible to use clear_machine_feature() and test_machine_feature() for machine features which cannot be completely detected within the decompressor, e.g. if common code command line parameters allow to enable or disable certain features. In such cases test_machine_feature() instead of machine_has_feature() must be used within the kernel. This results in a runtime check and not a static branch.

2024-09-13s390/alternatives: Remove ALT_FACILITY_EARLYHeiko Carstens
Patch all alternatives which depend on facilities from the decompressor. There is no technical reason which enforces to split patching of such alternatives to the decompressor and the kernel. This simplifies alternative handling a bit, since one alternative type is removed. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <hca@linux.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Jason A. Donenfeld <Jason@zx2c4.com>
2024-07-23s390: Add infrastructure to patch lowcore accessesSven Schnelle
The s390 architecture defines two special per-CPU data pages called the "prefix area". In s390-linux terminology this is usually called "lowcore". This memory area contains system configuration data like old/new PSW's for system call/interrupt/machine check handlers and lots of other data. It is normally mapped to logical address 0. This area can only be accessed when in supervisor mode. This means that kernel code can dereference NULL pointers, because accesses to address 0 are allowed. Parts of lowcore can be write protected, but read accesses and write accesses outside of the write protected areas are not caught. To remove this limitation for debugging and testing, remap lowcore to another address and define a function get_lowcore() which simply returns the address where lowcore is mapped at. This would normally introduce a pointer dereference (=memory read). As lowcore is used for several very often used variables, add code to patch this function during runtime, so we avoid the memory reads. For C code get_lowcore() has to be used, for assembly code it is the GET_LC macro. When using this macro/function a reference is added to alternative patching. All these locations will be patched to the actual lowcore location when the kernel is booted or a module is loaded. To make debugging/bisecting problems easier, this patch adds all the infrastructure but the lowcore address is still hardwired to 0. This way the code can be converted on a per function basis, and the functionality is enabled in a patch after all the functions have been converted. Note that this requires at least z16 because the old lpsw instruction only allowed a 12 bit displacement. z16 introduced lpswey which allows 20 bits (signed), so the lowcore can effectively be mapped from address 0 - 0x7e000. To use 0x7e000 as address, a 6 byte lgfi instruction would have to be used in the alternative. To save two bytes, llilh can be used, but this only allows to set bits 16-31 of the address. In order to use the llilh instruction, use 0x70000 as alternative lowcore address. This is still large enough to catch NULL pointer dereferences into large arrays.

2024-07-23s390/nospec: Push down alternative handlingHeiko Carstens
The nospec implementation is deeply integrated into the alternatives code: only for nospec an alternative facility list is implemented and used by the alternative code, while it is modified by nospec specific needs. Push down the nospec alternative handling into the nospec by introducing a new alternative type and a specific nospec callback to decide if alternatives should be applied. Also introduce a new global nobp variable which together with facility 82 can be used to decide if nobp is enabled or not.

2024-07-23s390/alternatives: Rework to allow for callbacksHeiko Carstens
Rework alternatives to allow for callbacks. With this every alternative entry has additional data encoded: - When (aka context) an alternative is supposed to be applied - The type of an alternative, which allows for type specific handling and callbacks - Extra type specific payload (patch information), which can be passed to callbacks in order to decide if an alternative should be applied or not With this only the "late" context is implemented, which means there is no change to the previous behaviour. All code is just converted to the more generic new infrastructure.

2022-05-17s390/alternatives: remove padding generation codeHeiko Carstens
clang fails to handle ".if" statements in inline assembly which are heavily used in the alternatives code. To work around this remove this code, and enforce that users of alternatives must specify original and alternative instruction sequences which have identical sizes. Add a compile time check with two ".org" statements similar to arm64. In result not only clang can handle this, but also quite a lot of code can be removed.

2019-10-31s390/alternatives: make use of asm_inlineHeiko Carstens
This is the s390 version of commit 40576e5e63ea ("x86: alternative.h: use asm_inline for all alternative variants"). See commit eb111869301e ("compiler-types.h: add asm_inline definition") for more details. With this change the compiler will not generate many out-of-line versions for the three instruction sized arch_spin_unlock() function anymore. Due to this gcc seems to change a lot of other inline decisions which results in a net 6k text size growth according to bloat-o-meter (gcc 9.2 with defconfig). But that's still better than having many out-of-line versions of arch_spin_unlock(). Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Vasily Gorbik <gor@linux.ibm.com>

2017-10-18s390: introduce CPU alternativesVasily Gorbik
Implement CPU alternatives, which allows to optionally patch newer instructions at runtime, based on CPU facilities availability. A new kernel boot parameter "noaltinstr" disables patching. Current implementation is derived from x86 alternatives. Although ideal instructions padding (when altinstr is longer then oldinstr) is added at compile time, and no oldinstr nops optimization has to be done at runtime. Also couple of compile time sanity checks are done: 1. oldinstr and altinstr must be <= 254 bytes long, 2. oldinstr and altinstr must not have an odd length. alternative(oldinstr, altinstr, facility); alternative_2(oldinstr, altinstr1, facility1, altinstr2, facility2); Both compile time and runtime padding consists of either 6/4/2 bytes nop or a jump (brcl) + 2 bytes nop filler if padding is longer then 6 bytes. .altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections are part of __init_begin : __init_end region and are freed after initialization.
