Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky: "There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request: - a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual topology found on z13 machines. Performance tests showed up to 8 percent gain with the additional domain. - the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c. - proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions. - kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the net/iucv/iucv.c change. - support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend. Then there are two removals: - the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed. The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays. - the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been "interesting" code.. And the usual bug fixes and cleanups" * 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (82 commits) s390/pci: Delete an unnecessary check before the function call "pci_dev_put" s390/smp: clean up a condition s390/cio/chp : Remove deprecated create_singlethread_workqueue s390/chsc: improve channel path descriptor determination s390/chsc: sanitize fmt check for chp_desc determination s390/cio: make fmt1 channel path descriptor optional s390/chsc: fix ioctl CHSC_INFO_CU command s390/cio/device_ops: fix kernel doc s390/cio: allow to reset channel measurement block s390/console: Make preferred console handling more consistent s390/mm: fix gmap tlb flush issues s390/mm: add support for 2GB hugepages s390: have unique symbol for __switch_to address s390/cpuinfo: show maximum thread id s390/ptrace: clarify bits in the per_struct s390: stack address vs thread_info s390: remove pointless load within __switch_to s390: enable kcov support s390/cpumf: use basic block for ecctr inline assembly s390/hypfs: use basic block for diag inline assembly ...

vmlinux.lds: account for destructor sections

2016-07-15T05:54:27Z

If CONFIG_KASAN is enabled and gcc is configured with --disable-initfini-array and/or gold linker is used, gcc emits .ctors/.dtors and .text.startup/.text.exit sections instead of .init_array/.fini_array. .dtors section is not explicitly accounted in the linker script and messes vvar/percpu layout. We want: ffffffff822bfd80 D _edata ffffffff822c0000 D __vvar_beginning_hack ffffffff822c0000 A __vvar_page ffffffff822c0080 0000000000000098 D vsyscall_gtod_data ffffffff822c1000 A __init_begin ffffffff822c1000 D init_per_cpu__irq_stack_union ffffffff822c1000 A __per_cpu_load ffffffff822d3000 D init_per_cpu__gdt_page We got: ffffffff8279a600 D _edata ffffffff8279b000 A __vvar_page ffffffff8279c000 A __init_begin ffffffff8279c000 D init_per_cpu__irq_stack_union ffffffff8279c000 A __per_cpu_load ffffffff8279e000 D __vvar_beginning_hack ffffffff8279e080 0000000000000098 D vsyscall_gtod_data ffffffff827ae000 D init_per_cpu__gdt_page This happens because __vvar_page and .vvar get different addresses in arch/x86/kernel/vmlinux.lds.S: . = ALIGN(PAGE_SIZE); __vvar_page = .; .vvar : AT(ADDR(.vvar) - LOAD_OFFSET) { /* work around gold bug 13023 */ __vvar_beginning_hack = .; Discard .dtors/.fini_array/.text.exit, since we don't call dtors.

vmlinux.lds.h: replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED()

2016-06-20T20:42:32Z

The use of config_enabled() against config options is ambiguous. Now, IS_ENABLED() is implemented purely with macro expansion, so let's replace config_enabled() with IS_ENABLED(). Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada Signed-off-by: Michal Marek

vmlinux.lds.h: allow arch specific handling of ro_after_init data section

2016-06-13T13:58:22Z

commit c74ba8b3480d ("arch: Introduce post-init read-only memory") introduced the __ro_after_init attribute which allows to add variables to the ro_after_init data section. This new section was added to rodata, even though it contains writable data. This in turn causes problems on architectures which mark the page table entries read-only that point to rodata very early. This patch allows architectures to implement an own handling of the .data..ro_after_init section. Usually that would be: - mark the rodata section read-only very early - mark the ro_after_init section read-only within mark_rodata_ro Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Reviewed-by: Kees Cook Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

x86/asm: Make sure verify_cpu() has a good stack

2016-04-13T09:52:19Z

04633df0c43d ("x86/cpu: Call verify_cpu() after having entered long mode too") added the call to verify_cpu() for sanitizing CPU configuration. The latter uses the stack minimally and it can happen that we land in startup_64() directly from a 64-bit bootloader. Then we want to use our own, known good stack. Do that. APs don't need this as the trampoline sets up a stack for them.

arch, ftrace: for KASAN put hard/soft IRQ entries into separate sections

2016-03-25T23:37:42Z

KASAN needs to know whether the allocation happens in an IRQ handler. This lets us strip everything below the IRQ entry point to reduce the number of unique stack traces needed to be stored. Move the definition of __irq_entry to so that the users don't need to pull in . Also introduce the __softirq_entry macro which is similar to __irq_entry, but puts the corresponding functions to the .softirqentry.text section.

arch: Introduce post-init read-only memory

2016-02-22T07:51:38Z

One of the easiest ways to protect the kernel from attack is to reduce the internal attack surface exposed when a "write" flaw is available. By making as much of the kernel read-only as possible, we reduce the attack surface. Many things are written to only during __init, and never changed again. These cannot be made "const" since the compiler will do the wrong thing (we do actually need to write to them). Instead, move these items into a memory region that will be made read-only during mark_rodata_ro() which happens after all kernel __init code has finished. This introduces __ro_after_init as a way to mark such memory, and adds some documentation about the existing __read_mostly marking. This improves the security of the Linux kernel by marking formerly read-write memory regions as read-only on a fully booted up system. Based on work by PaX Team and Brad Spengler.

earlycon: Use common framework for earlycon declarations

2016-02-07T06:07:37Z

Use a single common table of struct earlycon_id for both command line and devicetree. Re-define OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() macro to instance a unique earlycon declaration (the declaration is only guaranteed to be unique within a compilation unit; separate compilation units must still use unique earlycon names). The semantics of OF_EARLYCON_DECLARE() is different; it declares an earlycon which can matched either on the command line or by devicetree. EARLYCON_DECLARE() is semantically unchanged; it declares an earlycon which is matched by command line only. Remove redundant instances of EARLYCON_DECLARE(). This enables all earlycons to properly initialize struct console with the appropriate name and index, which improves diagnostics and enables direct earlycon-to-console handoff.
