8070361799 s390: add support for vector extension
The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of
instruction to operate on the vector registers.

The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state
program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the
kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context
switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers.
Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added
to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps.

d3a73acbc2 s390: split TIF bits into CIF, PIF and TIF bits
The oi and ni instructions used in entry[64].S to set and clear bits
in the thread-flags are not guaranteed to be atomic in regard to other
CPUs. Split the TIF bits into CPU, pt_regs and thread-info specific
bits. Updates on the TIF bits are done with atomic instructions,
updates on CPU and pt_regs bits are done with non-atomic instructions.

aa7e04b380 s390/signal: always restore saved runtime instrumentation psw bit
Commit "s390: fix handling of runtime instrumentation psw bit" (5ebf250dab)
changed the behavior of setting the runtime instrumentation psw bit.  This
commit restores the original logic:

1. When returning from the signal handler, the runtime instrumentation psw bit
   is restored to its saved state.
2. If the runtime instrumentation psw bit is enabled during the signal handler,
   it is always turned off when leaving the signal handler.  The saved state
   is restored as described in 1.  That also implies that turning on runtime
   instrumentation in the signal handler is only effective while running in the
   signal context.

5ebf250dab s390: fix handling of runtime instrumentation psw bit
Fix the following bugs:
- When returning from a signal the signal handler copies the saved psw mask
  from user space and uses parts of it. Especially it restores the RI bit
  unconditionally. If however the machine doesn't support RI, or RI is
  disabled for the task, the last lpswe instruction which returns to user
  space will generate a specification exception.
  To fix this check if the RI bit is allowed to be set and kill the task
  if not.
- In the compat mode signal handler code the RI bit of the psw mask gets
  propagated to the mask of the return psw: if user space enables RI in the
  signal handler, RI will also be enabled after the signal handler is
  finished.
  This is a different behaviour than with 64 bit tasks. So change this to
  match the 64 bit semantics, which restores the original RI bit value.
- Fix similar oddities within the ptrace code as well.

4725c86055 s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control register
The FPC_VALID_MASK has been used to check the validity of the value
to be loaded into the floating-point-control register. With the
introduction of the floating-point extension facility and the
decimal-floating-point additional bits have been defined which need
to be checked in a non straight forward way. So far these bits have
been ignored which can cause an incorrect results for decimal-
floating-point operations, e.g. an incorrect rounding mode to be
set after signal return.

The static check with the FPC_VALID_MASK is replaced with a trial
load of the floating-point-control value, see test_fp_ctl.

In addition an information leak with the padding word between the
floating-point-control word and the floating-point registers in
the s390_fp_regs is fixed.

fa968ee215 s390/signal: set correct address space control
If user space is running in primary mode it can switch to secondary
or access register mode, this is used e.g. in the clock_gettime code
of the vdso. If a signal is delivered to the user space process while
it has been running in access register mode the signal handler is
executed in access register mode as well which will result in a crash
most of the time.

Set the address space control bits in the PSW to the default for the
execution of the signal handler and make sure that the previous
address space control is restored on signal return. Take care
that user space can not switch to the kernel address space by
modifying the registers in the signal frame.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly

people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.

I'm still not too happy with the signature, but that's a separate

signal_delivered(), handle_signal() and probably setup...frame() -

A 31-bit kernel always sets the high order bit in the return address

git commit d4e81b35b8 "[S390] allow all addressing modes" makes
sure that the high order bit is set in the signal return address for
standard signals of a 31-bit compat process but fails to do the same
for real-time signals. To make things consistent the bit needs to be
set by setup_rt_frame32 as well.

d4e81b35b8 [S390] allow all addressing modes
The user space program can change its addressing mode between the
24-bit, 31-bit and the 64-bit mode if the kernel is 64 bit. Currently
the kernel always forces the standard amode on signal delivery and
signal return and on ptrace: 64-bit for a 64-bit process, 31-bit for
a compat process and 31-bit kernels. Change the signal and ptrace code
to allow the full range of addressing modes. Signal handlers are
run in the standard addressing mode for the process.

One caveat is that even an 31-bit compat process can switch to the
64-bit mode. The next signal will switch back into the 31-bit mode
and there is no room in the 31-bit compat signal frame to store the
information that the program came from the 64-bit mode.

20b40a794b [S390] signal race with restarting system calls
For a ERESTARTNOHAND/ERESTARTSYS/ERESTARTNOINTR restarting system call
do_signal will prepare the restart of the system call with a rewind of
the PSW before calling get_signal_to_deliver (where the debugger might
take control). For A ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK restarting system call
do_signal will set -EINTR as return code.
There are two issues with this approach:
1) strace never sees ERESTARTNOHAND, ERESTARTSYS, ERESTARTNOINTR or
   ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK as the rewinding already took place or the
   return code has been changed to -EINTR
2) if get_signal_to_deliver does not return with a signal to deliver
   the restart via the repeat of the svc instruction is left in place.
   This opens a race if another signal is made pending before the
   system call instruction can be reexecuted. The original system call
   will be restarted even if the second signal would have ended the
   system call with -EINTR.

These two issues can be solved by dropping the early rewind of the
system call before get_signal_to_deliver has been called and by using
the TIF_RESTART_SVC magic to do the restart if no signal has to be
delivered. The only situation where the system call restart via the
repeat of the svc instruction is appropriate is when a SA_RESTART
signal is delivered to user space.

Unfortunately this breaks inferior calls by the debugger again. The
system call number and the length of the system call instruction is
lost over the inferior call and user space will see ERESTARTNOHAND/
ERESTARTSYS/ERESTARTNOINTR/ERESTART_RESTARTBLOCK. To correct this a
new ptrace interface is added to save/restore the system call number
and system call instruction length.

59da21398e [S390] fix system call parameter functions.
syscall_get_nr() currently returns a valid result only if the call
chain of the traced process includes do_syscall_trace_enter(). But
collect_syscall() can be called for any sleeping task, the result of
syscall_get_nr() in general is completely bogus.

To make syscall_get_nr() work for any sleeping task the traps field
in pt_regs is replace with svcnr - the system call number the process
is executing. If svcnr == 0 the process is not on a system call path.

The syscall_get_arguments and syscall_set_arguments use regs->gprs[2]
for the first system call parameter. This is incorrect since gprs[2]
may have been overwritten with the system call number if the call
chain includes do_syscall_trace_enter. Use regs->orig_gprs2 instead.

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.

28f223782b [PATCH] s390: alternate signal stack handling bug
If a signal handler has been established with the SA_ONSTACK option but no
alternate stack is provided with sigaltstack(), the kernel still tries to
install the alternate stack.  Also when setting an alternate stack with
sigalstack() and the SS_DISABLE flag, the kernel tries to install the
alternate stack on signal delivery.  Use the correct conditions sas_ss_flags()
to check if the alternate stack has to be used.
