59b6978745 [S390] spinlock: check virtual cpu running status
This patch introduces a new function that checks the running status
of a cpu in a hypervisor. This status is not virtualized, so the check
is only correct if running in an LPAR. On acquiring a spinlock, if the
cpu holding the lock is scheduled by the hypervisor, we do a busy wait
on the lock. If it is not scheduled, we yield over to that cpu.

b4563e891a [S390] cio: wait for channel report
To fetch a pending channel report word (crw) we use a kernel
thread which triggers stcrw and sleeps on a semaphore. The s390
machine check handler uses crw_handle_channel_report to handle
one crw if needed.

This patch replaces the semaphore with a waitqueue (to block the
kernel thread) and an atomic_t (to count the number of pending
requests).

By this we achieve the ability to force this thread to check for
a pending crw (independent on when it is triggered by the machine
check handler) and wait for this action to finish.

4b3073e1c5 MM: Pass a PTE pointer to update_mmu_cache() rather than the PTE itself
On VIVT ARM, when we have multiple shared mappings of the same file
in the same MM, we need to ensure that we have coherency across all
copies.  We do this via make_coherent() by making the pages
uncacheable.

This used to work fine, until we allowed highmem with highpte - we
now have a page table which is mapped as required, and is not available
for modification via update_mmu_cache().

Ralf Beache suggested getting rid of the PTE value passed to
update_mmu_cache():

  On MIPS update_mmu_cache() calls __update_tlb() which walks pagetables
  to construct a pointer to the pte again.  Passing a pte_t * is much
  more elegant.  Maybe we might even replace the pte argument with the
  pte_t?

Ben Herrenschmidt would also like the pte pointer for PowerPC:

  Passing the ptep in there is exactly what I want.  I want that
  -instead- of the PTE value, because I have issue on some ppc cases,
  for I$/D$ coherency, where set_pte_at() may decide to mask out the
  _PAGE_EXEC.

So, pass in the mapped page table pointer into update_mmu_cache(), and
remove the PTE value, updating all implementations and call sites to
suit.

Includes a fix from Stephen Rothwell:

the intercept_funcs jump table was defined to contain (0x48 >> 2) entries,
but we only checked for code > 0x48 which would cause an off-by-one
array overflow if code == 0x48.

- uses eventfd for signalling
- structures can be moved around in memory at any time (good for
  migration, bug work-arounds in userspace)
- write logging is supported (good for migration)
- support memory table and not just an offset (needed for kvm)

common virtio related code has been put in a separate file vhost.c and
can be made into a separate module if/when more backends appear.  I used
Rusty's lguest.c as the source for developing this part : this supplied
me with witty comments I wouldn't be able to write myself.

What it is not: vhost net is not a bus, and not a generic new system
call. No assumptions are made on how guest performs hypercalls.
Userspace hypervisors are supported as well as kvm.

How it works: Basically, we connect virtio frontend (configured by
userspace) to a backend. The backend could be a network device, or a tap
device.  Backend is also configured by userspace, including vlan/mac
etc.

Status: This works for me, and I haven't see any crashes.
Compared to userspace, people reported improved latency (as I save up to
4 system calls per packet), as well as better bandwidth and CPU
utilization.

Features that I plan to look at in the future:
- mergeable buffers
- zero copy
- scalability tuning: figure out the best threading model to use

Note on RCU usage (this is also documented in vhost.h, near
private_pointer which is the value protected by this variant of RCU):
what is happening is that the rcu_dereference() is being used in a
workqueue item.  The role of rcu_read_lock() is taken on by the start of
execution of the workqueue item, of rcu_read_unlock() by the end of
execution of the workqueue item, and of synchronize_rcu() by
flush_workqueue()/flush_work(). In the future we might need to apply
some gcc attribute or sparse annotation to the function passed to
INIT_WORK(). Paul's ack below is for this RCU usage.

94e587f61e [S390] unwire sys_recvmmsg again
sys_recvmmsg is reachable via sys_socketcall. So unwire it again since
there is no point in having two entry points for it.
Also put it to the ignore list so we don't get reminded anymore in order
to wire it up.

02beaccc90 [S390] smp: setup smp_processor_id early
smp_processor_id() is supposed to work before setup_arch() gets called.
Before that smp_processor_id() may return just an arbitrary value that
is contained in the uninitialized boot lowcore.
So provide the arch function which will override the weak function in
init/main.c.

a58c26bba9 [S390] use helpers for rlimits
Make sure compiler won't do weird things with limits. E.g. fetching
them twice may return 2 different values after writable limits are
implemented.

I.e. either use rlimit helpers added in
3e10e716ab
or ACCESS_ONCE if not applicable.

6f50248ef0 [S390] duplicate SIGTRAP on signal delivery.
The code in do_signal sets the TIF_SINGLE_STEP bit and calls
tracehook_signal_handler after the signal frame has been set up.
This causes two SIGTRAP signals to be delivered to the tracer.
Stop setting the TIF_SINGLE_STEP bit in do_signal to get the
correct number of SIGTRAPs.
