[S390] noexec protection 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.

[S390] kernel: show last breaking-event-address on oops Newer s390 models have a breaking-event-address-recording register. Each time an instruction causes a break in the sequential instruction execution, the address is saved in that hardware register. On a program interrupt the address is copied to the lowcore address 272-279, which makes it software accessible. This patch changes the program check handler and the stack overflow checker to copy the value into the pt_regs argument. The oops output is enhanced to show the last known breaking address. It might give additional information if the stack trace is corrupted. The feature is only available on 64 bit. The new oops output looks like: [---------snip----------] Modules linked in: vmcp sunrpc qeth_l2 dm_mod qeth ccwgroup CPU: 2 Not tainted 2.6.24zlive-host #8 Process modprobe (pid: 4788, task: 00000000bf3d8718, ksp: 00000000b2b0b8e0) Krnl PSW : 0704200180000000 000003e000020028 (vmcp_init+0x28/0xe4 [vmcp]) R:0 T:1 IO:1 EX:1 Key:0 M:1 W:0 P:0 AS:0 CC:2 PM:0 EA:3 Krnl GPRS: 0000000004000002 000003e000020000 0000000000000000 0000000000000001 000000000015734c ffffffffffffffff 000003e0000b3b00 0000000000000000 000003e00007ca30 00000000b5bb5d40 00000000b5bb5800 000003e0000b3b00 000003e0000a2000 00000000003ecf50 00000000b2b0bd50 00000000b2b0bcb0 Krnl Code: 000003e000020018: c0c000040ff4 larl %r12,3e0000a2000 000003e00002001e: e3e0f0000024 stg %r14,0(%r15) 000003e000020024: a7f40001 brc 15,3e000020026 >000003e000020028: e310c0100004 lg %r1,16(%r12) 000003e00002002e: c020000413dc larl %r2,3e0000a27e6 000003e000020034: c0a00004aee6 larl %r10,3e0000b5e00 000003e00002003a: a7490001 lghi %r4,1 000003e00002003e: a75900f0 lghi %r5,240 Call Trace: ([<000000000014b300>] blocking_notifier_call_chain+0x2c/0x40) [<000000000015735c>] sys_init_module+0x19d8/0x1b08 [<0000000000110afc>] sysc_noemu+0x10/0x16 [<000002000011cda2>] 0x2000011cda2 Last Breaking-Event-Address: [<000003e000020024>] vmcp_init+0x24/0xe4 [vmcp] [---------snip----------] Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
