39475179d4 [S390] Improve code generated by atomic operations.
Git commit ea43546750 changed the
definition of atomic_t and atomic64_t for s390 by adding the volatile
modifier to the counter field. This has an unfortunate side effect
with newer versions of the gcc. The typeof operator now picks up the
volatile modifier from the expression. This causes the compiler to
think that it has to store the two temporary variable old_val and
new_val in the __CS_LOOP for the different atomic operations to the
stack as the variables are now volatile. Both stores are superfluous.

The hack to replace typeof(ptr->counter) with int in __CS_LOOP and
and long long in __CSG_LOOP avoids the two stores. A better solution
would be to drop the volatile from the counter field of the atomic_t
and atomic64_t definition. But that is a touchy subject ..

6c1e3e7943 [S390] Use do_exception() in pagetable walk usercopy functions.
The pagetable walk usercopy functions have used a modified copy of the
do_exception() function for fault handling. This lead to inconsistencies
with recent changes to do_exception(), e.g. performance counters. This
patch changes the pagetable walk usercopy code to call do_exception()
directly, eliminating the redundancy. A new parameter is added to
do_exception() to specify the fault address.

fault generated by a kernel access to user space. If kprobes

b11b533427 [S390] Improve address space mode selection.
Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and
s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values:
  1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0
  2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0
  3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1
They get replaced by
  1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE
  2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE
  3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE
The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets
you choose the address space mode the user space processes should
use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option
is removed.

change is to use a different test to check for no-execute fault.
The third change is to pass the translation exception identification
as parameter, in theory the trans_exc_code in the lowcore could have
been overwritten by the time the call to check_space from do_no_context
is done.

cf87b7439e [S390] s390: clear high-order bits of registers after sam64
When the kernel is IPLed without the CLEAR option and switches
to 64-bit, the high-order half of the registers might contain
random values.  This can cause addressing exceptions and the
kernel enters an interrupt loop.

Initialize the high-order half of the general purpose registers
with zeros after switching to 64-bit mode.

f50146bd7b KVM: s390: Fix prefix register checking in arch/s390/kvm/sigp.c
This patch corrects the checking of the new address for the prefix register.
On s390, the prefix register is used to address the cpu's lowcore (address
0...8k). This check is supposed to verify that the memory is readable and
present.
copy_from_guest is a helper function, that can be used to read from guest
memory. It applies prefixing, adds the start address of the guest memory in
user, and then calls copy_from_user. Previous code was obviously broken for
two reasons:
- prefixing should not be applied here. The current prefix register is
  going to be updated soon, and the address we're looking for will be
  0..8k after we've updated the register
- we're adding the guest origin (gmsor) twice: once in subject code
  and once in copy_from_guest

With kuli, we did not hit this problem because (a) we were lucky with
previous prefix register content, and (b) our guest memory was mmaped
very low into user address space.

d7b0b5eb30 KVM: s390: Make psw available on all exits, not just a subset
This patch moves s390 processor status word into the base kvm_run
struct and keeps it up-to date on all userspace exits.

The userspace ABI is broken by this, however there are no applications
in the wild using this.  A capability check is provided so users can
verify the updated API exists.

10474ae894 KVM: Activate Virtualization On Demand
X86 CPUs need to have some magic happening to enable the virtualization
extensions on them. This magic can result in unpleasant results for
users, like blocking other VMMs from working (vmx) or using invalid TLB
entries (svm).

Currently KVM activates virtualization when the respective kernel module
is loaded. This blocks us from autoloading KVM modules without breaking
other VMMs.

To circumvent this problem at least a bit, this patch introduces on
demand activation of virtualization. This means, that instead
virtualization is enabled on creation of the first virtual machine
and disabled on destruction of the last one.

So using this, KVM can be easily autoloaded, while keeping other
hypervisors usable.

2d4dc890b5 block: add helpers to run flush_dcache_page() against a bio and a request's pages
Mtdblock driver doesn't call flush_dcache_page for pages in request.  So,
this causes problems on architectures where the icache doesn't fill from
the dcache or with dcache aliases.  The patch fixes this.

The ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE symbol was introduced to avoid
pointless empty cache-thrashing loops on architectures for which
flush_dcache_page() is a no-op.  Every architecture was provided with this
flush pages on architectires where ARCH_IMPLEMENTS_FLUSH_DCACHE_PAGE is
equal 1 or do nothing otherwise.

See "fix mtd_blkdevs problem with caches on some architectures" discussion
on LKML for more information.

0696b711e4 timekeeping: Fix clock_gettime vsyscall time warp
Since commit 0a544198 "timekeeping: Move NTP adjusted clock multiplier
to struct timekeeper" the clock multiplier of vsyscall is updated with
the unmodified clock multiplier of the clock source and not with the
NTP adjusted multiplier of the timekeeper.

This causes user space observerable time warps:
new CLOCK-warp maximum: 120 nsecs,  00000025c337c537 -> 00000025c337c4bf

Add a new argument "mult" to update_vsyscall() and hand in the
timekeeping internal NTP adjusted multiplier.

6beb000923 locking: Make inlining decision Kconfig based
commit 892a7c67 (locking: Allow arch-inlined spinlocks) implements the
selection of which lock functions are inlined based on defines in
arch/.../spinlock.h: #define __always_inline__LOCK_FUNCTION

Despite of the name __always_inline__* the lock functions can be built
out of line depending on config options. Also if the arch does not set
some inline defines the generic code might set them; again depending on
config options.

This makes it unnecessary hard to figure out when and which lock
functions are inlined. Aside of that it makes it way harder and
messier for -rt to manipulate the lock functions.

Convert the inlining decision to CONFIG switches. Each lock function
is inlined depending on CONFIG_INLINE_*. The configs implement the
existing dependencies. The architecture code can select ARCH_INLINE_*
to signal that it wants the corresponding lock function inlined.
ARCH_INLINE_* is necessary as Kconfig ignores "depends on"
restrictions when a config element is selected.

No functional change.

bcc6525fb2 [S390] s390: fix single stepping on svc0
On s390 there are two ways of specifying the system call number for
the svc instruction. The standard way is to use the immediate field
in the instruction (or to use EXecute for values unknown during
assemble time). This can encode 256 system calls.
The kernel ABI also allows to put the system call number in r1 and
then execute svc 0 to enable system call numbers > 255.

It turns out that single stepping svc 0 is broken, since the PER
program check handler uses r1. We have to use a different register.

b89031e087 [S390] reset cputime accounting after IPL from NSS
After an IPL from NSS the uptime of the system is incorrect. The reason
is that the startup code in head.S is not executed in case of an IPL
from NSS. Due to that sched_clock_base_cc which is used to initialze
wall_to_monotonic contains the time stamp when the NSS has been created
instead of the time stamp of the system start.

Reinitialize the cputime accounting values in create_kernel_nss after
the SAVESYS CP command that created the NSS segment.

Allow the architecture to request a normal jiffy tick when the system
goes idle and tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick is called . On s390 the hook is
used to prevent the system going fully idle if there has been an
interrupt other than a clock comparator interrupt since the last wakeup.

On s390 the HiperSockets response time for 1 connection ping-pong goes
down from 42 to 34 microseconds. The CPU cost decreases by 27%.

b3dcf3de8e [S390] smp: fix sigp sense handling
sigp sense only returns the status of a cpu if it is non zero. If the
status of the sensed cpu is all zeros condition code 0 (accpeted) is
set and no status bits are returned.
The current code however assumes that a status was returned and tests
bits in it. This means uninitalized data is accessed with random
results.
Worst case is that the code that checks if cpu is offline on cpu
hotplug assumes that the target cpu is offline while it is still
running. This leads potentially to memory corruption since resources
that are still needed by the target cpu will be freed and could be
resused while still in use.
