7a76aa95f6 s390/cpumf: Fix lpp detection
we have to check bit 40 of the facility list before issuing LPP
and not bit 48. Otherwise a guest running on a system with
"The decimal-floating-point zoned-conversion facility" and without
the "The set-program-parameters facility" might crash on an lpp
instruction.

76cdd44c2e s390/facilities: always use lowcore's stfle field for storing facility bits
head.s contains an stfle instruction which stores it result at the
storage location that is assigned to the stfl instruction.

This is currently no problem, since we only care about one double
word. However if the number of double words in the ALS bitfield grows
the current code is not very stable.

E.g. before issuing the stfle command the memory to which it stores
must be cleared, since the instruction may or may not clear memory
contents where no bits are set.

In order to simplify the code a bit always use the storage location
that we reserved for the stfle result.

e22cf8ca6f s390/cpumf: rework program parameter setting to detect guest samples
The program parameter can be used to mark hardware samples with
some token.  Previously, it was used to mark guest samples only.

Improve the program parameter doubleword by combining two parts,
the leftmost LPP part and the rightmost PID part.  Set the PID
part for processes by using the task PID.
To distinguish host and guest samples for the kernel (PID part
is zero), the guest must always set the program paramater to a
non-zero value.  Use the leftmost bit in the LPP part of the
program parameter to be able to detect guest kernel samples.

[brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com]: Split __LC_CURRENT and introduced
__LC_LPP. Corrected __LC_CURRENT users and adjusted assembler parts.
And updated the commit message accordingly.

8d7f6690ce s390: fix kernel crash due to linkage stack instructions
The kernel currently crashes with a low-address-protection exception
if a user space process executes an instruction that tries to use the
linkage stack. Set the base-ASTE origin and the subspace-ASTE origin
of the dispatchable-unit-control-table to point to a dummy ASTE.
Set up control register 15 to point to an empty linkage stack with no
room left.

A user space process with a linkage stack instruction will still crash
but with a different exception which is correctly translated to a
segmentation fault instead of a kernel oops.

9be5f34f3f s390/mm: let kernel text section always begin at 1MB
Let the kernel text section always begin at 1MB. This allows to always have
a large frame in the identity mapping of the kernel image for beginning of

Moving the beginning from 64K to 1MB doesn't cost any memory, since we make
the memory between 64K and 1MB available for the page allocator.

a53c8fab3f s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names
Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

0c88ee5b75 [S390] Initialize __LC_THREAD_INFO early.
"lockdep: Fix backtraces" reveales a bug in early setup code: when
lockdep tries to save a stack backtrace before setup_arch has been
called the lowcore pointer for the current thread info pointer isn't
initialized yet.
However our save stack backtrace code relies on it. If the pointer
isn't initialized the saved backtrace will have zero entries.
lockdep however relies (correctly) on the fact that that cannot
happen.
A write access to some random memory region is the result.

Fix this by initializing the thread info pointer early.

From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
From: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com>

This lets us use defines for the magic bits in machine flags instead
of using plain numbers all over the place.
In addition on newer machines features/facilities are indicated by the
result of the stfl instruction. So we use these bits instead of trying
to execute new instructions and check wether we get an exception or
not.
Also the mvpg instruction is always available when in zArch mode,
whereas the idte instruction is only available in zArch mode. This
results in some minor optimizations.

The clear-by-asce operation of the idte instruction gets an asce

need to get flushed. The current code passes a plain pointer to
the start of the pgd without the additional bits which would make
the pointer an asce. The current machines don't mind the difference
but a future model might want to use the designation type control
bits in the asce as a filter for the TLBs to flush.

482b05dd53 [S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.
Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new
check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel
and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched
(kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space).
Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if
it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load
an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than
0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory
is accessed using the base register related to the access register,
the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the
DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need
to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a
ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this

1e8e338325 [PATCH] s390: export ipl device parameters
Sysfs interface to export ipl device parameters.  Dependent on the ipl type
the interface will look like this:

- ccw ipl:

/sys/firmware/ipl/device
		 /ipl_type

- fcp ipl:

/sys/firmware/ipl/binary_parameter
		 /bootprog
		 /br_lba
		 /device
		 /ipl_type
		 /lun
		 /scp_data
		 /wwpn

- otherwise (unknown that is):

/sys/firmware/ipl/ipl_type

350e3ade9e [PATCH] s390: check for interrupt before waiting
The patch that introduced waiting for interrupts after resetting the reader
can cause the boot to fail because the system is waiting for an interrupt that
will never arrive.  Add code to check if an interrupt is supposed to arrive
before waiting endlessly.

99b2d8df1d [PATCH] s390: external call performance
The kernel uses the SIGP external call order code to signal other CPUs.  When
running with dedicated CPUs external calls don't get delivered immediately but
within a fixed polling invervall.  This can lead to delays where the system
appears to do nothing.  Replace the SIGP external call order with the SIGP
emergency call order since this one gets delivered immediately.

951f22d5b1 [PATCH] s390: spin lock retry
Split spin lock and r/w lock implementation into a single try which is done
inline and an out of line function that repeatedly tries to get the lock
before doing the cpu_relax().  Add a system control to set the number of
retries before a cpu is yielded.

The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive.  For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer.  The default retry count is
1000.
