Pull ACCESS_ONCE cleanup preparation from Christian Borntraeger:
"kernel: Provide READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE
As discussed on LKML http://marc.info/?i=54611D86.4040306%40de.ibm.com
ACCESS_ONCE might fail with specific compilers for non-scalar
accesses.
Here is a set of patches to tackle that problem.
The first patch introduce READ_ONCE and ASSIGN_ONCE. If the data
structure is larger than the machine word size memcpy is used and a
warning is emitted. The next patches fix up several in-tree users of
ACCESS_ONCE on non-scalar types.
This does not yet contain a patch that forces ACCESS_ONCE to work only
on scalar types. This is targetted for the next merge window as Linux
next already contains new offenders regarding ACCESS_ONCE vs.
non-scalar types"

ACCESS_ONCE does not work reliably on non-scalar types. For
example gcc 4.6 and 4.7 might remove the volatile tag for such
accesses during the SRA (scalar replacement of aggregates) step
(https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145)
Commit 1365039d0cb3 ("KVM: s390: Fix ipte locking") replace
ACCESS_ONCE with barriers. Lets use READ_ONCE instead.

git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvms390/linux into HEAD
KVM: s390: Fixes for kvm/next (3.19) and stable
1. We should flush TLBs for load control instruction emulation (stable)
2. A workaround for a compiler bug that renders ACCESS_ONCE broken (stable)
3. Fix program check handling for load control
4. Documentation Fix

ipte_unlock_siif uses cmpxchg to replace the in-memory data of the ipte
lock together with ACCESS_ONCE for the intial read.
union ipte_control {
unsigned long val;
struct {
unsigned long k : 1;
unsigned long kh : 31;
unsigned long kg : 32;
};
};
[...]
static void ipte_unlock_siif(struct kvm_vcpu *vcpu)
{
union ipte_control old, new, *ic;
ic = &vcpu->kvm->arch.sca->ipte_control;
do {
new = old = ACCESS_ONCE(*ic);
new.kh--;
if (!new.kh)
new.k = 0;
} while (cmpxchg(&ic->val, old.val, new.val) != old.val);
if (!new.kh)
wake_up(&vcpu->kvm->arch.ipte_wq);
}
The new value, is loaded twice from memory with gcc 4.7.2 of
fedora 18, despite the ACCESS_ONCE:
--->
l %r4,0(%r3) <--- load first 32 bit of lock (k and kh) in r4
alfi %r4,2147483647 <--- add -1 to r4
llgtr %r4,%r4 <--- zero out the sign bit of r4
lg %r1,0(%r3) <--- load all 64 bit of lock into new
lgr %r2,%r1 <--- load the same into old
risbg %r1,%r4,1,31,32 <--- shift and insert r4 into the bits 1-31 of
new
llihf %r4,2147483647
ngrk %r4,%r1,%r4
jne aa0 <ipte_unlock+0xf8>
nihh %r1,32767
lgr %r4,%r2
csg %r4,%r1,0(%r3)
cgr %r2,%r4
jne a70 <ipte_unlock+0xc8>
If the memory value changes between the first load (l) and the second
load (lg) we are broken. If that happens VCPU threads will hang
(unkillable) in handle_ipte_interlock.
Andreas Krebbel analyzed this and tracked it down to a compiler bug in
that version:
"while it is not that obvious the C99 standard basically forbids
duplicating the memory access also in that case. For an argumentation of
a similiar case please see:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=22278#c43
For the implementation-defined cases regarding volatile there are some
GCC-specific clarifications which can be found here:
https://gcc.gnu.org/onlinedocs/gcc/Volatiles.html#Volatiles
I've tracked down the problem with a reduced testcase. The problem was
that during a tree level optimization (SRA - scalar replacement of
aggregates) the volatile marker is lost. And an RTL level optimizer (CSE
- common subexpression elimination) then propagated the memory read into
its second use introducing another access to the memory location. So
indeed Christian's suspicion that the union access has something to do
with it is correct (since it triggered the SRA optimization).
This issue has been reported and fixed in the GCC 4.8 development cycle:
https://gcc.gnu.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=58145"
This patch replaces the ACCESS_ONCE scheme with a barrier() based scheme
that should work for all supported compilers.

The ipte-locking should be done for each VM seperately, not globally.
This way we avoid possible congestions when the simple ipte-lock is used
and multiple VMs are running.

Due to the earlier check we know that ipte_lock_count must be 0.
No need to add a useless if. Let's make clear that we are going
to always wakeup when we execute that code.

The TPROT instruction can be used to check the accessability of storage
for any kind of logical addresses. So far, our handler only supported
real addresses. This patch now also enables support for addresses that
have to be translated via DAT first. And while we're at it, change the
code to use the common KVM function gfn_to_hva_prot() to check for the
validity and writability of the memory page.

The s390 architecture has a special protection mechanism that can
be used to prevent write access to the vital data in the low-core
memory area. This patch adds a new helper function that can be used
to check for such write accesses and in case of protection, it also
sets up the exception data accordingly.

The new guest memory access function write_guest() and read_guest() can be
used to access guest memory in an architecture compliant way.
These functions will look at the vcpu's PSW and select the correct address
space for memory access and also perform correct address wrap around.
In case DAT is turned on, page tables will be walked otherwise access will
happen to real or absolute memory.
Any access exception will be recognized and exception data will be stored
in the vcpu's kvm_vcpu_arch.pgm member. Subsequently an exception can be
injected if necessary.
Missing are:
- key protection checks
- access register mode support
- program event recording support
This patch also adds write_guest_real(), read_guest_real(),
write_guest_absolute() and read_guest_absolute() guest functions which can
be used to access real and absolute storage. These functions currently do
not perform any access checks, since there is no use case (yet?).
