In case a lock is contended it is better to do a load-and-test first
before trying to get the lock with compare-and-swap. This helps to avoid
unnecessary cache invalidations of the cacheline for the lock if the
CPU has to wait for the lock. For an uncontended lock doing the
compare-and-swap directly is a bit better, if the CPU does not have the
cacheline in its cache yet the compare-and-swap will get it read-write
immediately while a load-and-test would get it read-only first.
Always to the load-and-test first to avoid the cacheline invalidations
for the contended case outweight the potential read-only to read-write

The current uaccess code uses a page table walk in some circumstances,
e.g. in case of the in atomic futex operations or if running on old
hardware which doesn't support the mvcos instruction.
However it turned out that the page table walk code does not correctly
lock page tables when accessing page table entries.
In other words: a different cpu may invalidate a page table entry while
the current cpu inspects the pte. This may lead to random data corruption.
Adding correct locking however isn't trivial for all uaccess operations.
Especially copy_in_user() is problematic since that requires to hold at
least two locks, but must be protected against ABBA deadlock when a
different cpu also performs a copy_in_user() operation.
So the solution is a different approach where we change address spaces:
User space runs in primary address mode, or access register mode within
vdso code, like it currently already does.
The kernel usually also runs in home space mode, however when accessing
user space the kernel switches to primary or secondary address mode if
the mvcos instruction is not available or if a compare-and-swap (futex)
instruction on a user space address is performed.
KVM however is special, since that requires the kernel to run in home
address space while implicitly accessing user space with the sie
instruction.
So we end up with:
User space:
- runs in primary or access register mode
- cr1 contains the user asce
- cr7 contains the user asce
- cr13 contains the kernel asce
Kernel space:
- runs in home space mode
- cr1 contains the user or kernel asce
-> the kernel asce is loaded when a uaccess requires primary or
secondary address mode
- cr7 contains the user or kernel asce, (changed with set_fs())
- cr13 contains the kernel asce
In case of uaccess the kernel changes to:
- primary space mode in case of a uaccess (copy_to_user) and uses
e.g. the mvcp instruction to access user space. However the kernel
will stay in home space mode if the mvcos instruction is available
- secondary space mode in case of futex atomic operations, so that the
instructions come from primary address space and data from secondary
space
In case of kvm the kernel runs in home space mode, but cr1 gets switched
to contain the gmap asce before the sie instruction gets executed. When
the sie instruction is finished cr1 will be switched back to contain the
user asce.
A context switch between two processes will always load the kernel asce
for the next process in cr1. So the first exit to user space is a bit
more expensive (one extra load control register instruction) than before,
however keeps the code rather simple.
In sum this means there is no need to perform any error prone page table
walks anymore when accessing user space.
The patch seems to be rather large, however it mainly removes the
the page table walk code and restores the previously deleted "standard"
uaccess code, with a couple of changes.
The uaccess without mvcos mode can be enforced with the "uaccess_primary"
kernel parameter.

Just like all other architectures we should use out-of-line find bit
operations, since the inline variant bloat the size of the kernel image.
And also like all other architecures we should only supply optimized
variants of the __ffs, ffs, etc. primitives.
Therefore this patch removes the inlined s390 find bit functions and uses
the generic out-of-line variants instead.
The optimization of the primitives follows with the next patch.
With this patch also the functions find_first_bit_left() and
find_next_bit_left() have been reimplemented, since logically, they are
nothing else but a find_first_bit()/find_next_bit() implementation that
use an inverted __fls() instead of __ffs().

support the "flogr" instruction is gone now.

When translating user space addresses to kernel addresses the follow_table()
function had two bugs:
- PROT_NONE mappings could be read accessed via the kernel mapping. That is
e.g. putting a filename into a user page, then protecting the page with
PROT_NONE and afterwards issuing the "open" syscall with a pointer to
the filename would incorrectly succeed.
- when walking the page tables it used the pgd/pud/pmd/pte primitives which
with dynamic page tables give no indication which real level of page tables
is being walked (region2, region3, segment or page table). So in case of an
exception the translation exception code passed to __handle_fault() is not
necessarily correct.
This is not really an issue since __handle_fault() doesn't evaluate the code.
Only in case of e.g. a SIGBUS this code gets passed to user space. If user
space can do something sane with the value is a different question though.
To fix these issues don't use any Linux primitives. Only walk the page tables
like the hardware would do it, however we leave quite some checks away since
we know that we only have full size page tables and each index is within bounds.
In theory this should fix all issues...

The s390 architecture is unique in respect to dirty page detection,
it uses the change bit in the per-page storage key to track page
modifications. All other architectures track dirty bits by means
of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous
problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f71
"mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390".
To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert
s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All
user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware
read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by
the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause
the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit
is removed.
With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant
for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for
KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the
related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage
key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to
provide page age information.
For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty
there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking
already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages.
Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without
mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults.
To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte
primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes
and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for
tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache.

not really a problem because those functions will only be used on old
hardware that has no huge page support. But the futex code will also
use pagetable walk functions on current hardware when user space runs
in primary space mode. So, if a futex sits in a huge page, the futex
operation on it will result in a page fault loop or even data
