Heiko Carstens b5a882fcf1 s390: restore address space when returning to user space
Unbalanced set_fs usages (e.g. early exit from a function and a
forgotten set_fs(USER_DS) call) may lead to a situation where the
secondary asce is the kernel space asce when returning to user
space. This would allow user space to modify kernel space at will.

This would only be possible with the above mentioned kernel bug,
however we can detect this and fix the secondary asce before returning
to user space.

Therefore a new TIF_ASCE_SECONDARY which is used within set_fs. When
returning to user space check if TIF_ASCE_SECONDARY is set, which
would indicate a bug. If it is set print a message to the console,
fixup the secondary asce, and then return to user space.

This is similar to what is being discussed for x86 and arm:
"[RFC] syscalls: Restore address limit after a syscall".

README

Linux kernel
============

This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst

Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users.
These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
