Implement CPU alternatives, which allows to optionally patch newer
instructions at runtime, based on CPU facilities availability.
A new kernel boot parameter "noaltinstr" disables patching.
Current implementation is derived from x86 alternatives. Although
ideal instructions padding (when altinstr is longer then oldinstr)
is added at compile time, and no oldinstr nops optimization has to be
done at runtime. Also couple of compile time sanity checks are done:
1. oldinstr and altinstr must be <= 254 bytes long,
2. oldinstr and altinstr must not have an odd length.
alternative(oldinstr, altinstr, facility);
alternative_2(oldinstr, altinstr1, facility1, altinstr2, facility2);
Both compile time and runtime padding consists of either 6/4/2 bytes nop
or a jump (brcl) + 2 bytes nop filler if padding is longer then 6 bytes.
.altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections are part of
__init_begin : __init_end region and are freed after initialization.

debug_event_common memsets the active debug entry with zeros to
prevent stale data leakage. This is overwritten with the actual
debug data in the next step. Only write zeros to that part of the
debug entry that's not used by new debug data.
Micro benchmarks show a 2-10% reduction of cpu cycles with this
approach.

debug_event currently truncates the data if used with a size larger than
the buf_size of the debug feature. For lots of callers of this function,
wrappers have been implemented that loop until all data is handled.
Move that functionality into debug_event_common and get rid of the wrappers.

Before kexec boots to a crash kernel it checks whether the image in memory
changed after load. This is done by the function kdump_csum_valid, which
returns true, i.e. an int != 0, on success and 0 otherwise. In other words
when kdump_csum_valid returns an error code it means that the validation
succeeded. This is not only counterintuitive but also produces the wrong
result if the kernel was build without CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP. Fix this by
making kdump_csum_valid return a bool.

The debug feature code hasn't been touched in ages and the code also
looks like this. Therefore clean up the code so it looks a bit more
like current coding style.
There is no functional change - actually I made also sure that the
generated code with performance_defconfig is identical.
A diff of old vs new with "objdump -d" is empty.
The code is still not checkpatch clean, but that was not the goal.

For an unknown reason the s390 kprobes instruction replacement
function modifies the kprobe_status of the current CPU to
KPROBE_SWAP_INST. This was supposed to catch traps that happened
during instruction patching. Such a fault is not supposed to happen,
and silently discarding such a fault is certainly also not what we
want. In fact s390 is the only architecture which has this odd piece
of code.
Just remove this and behave like all other architectures. This was
pointed out by Jens Remus.

The arch_{read,spin,write}_lock_flags() macros are simply mapped to the
non-flags versions by the majority of architectures, so do this in core
code and remove the dummy implementations. Also remove the implementation
in spinlock_up.h, since all callers of do_raw_spin_lock_flags() call
local_irq_save(flags) anyway.

Outside of the locking code itself, {read,spin,write}_can_lock() have no
users in tree. Apparmor (the last remaining user of write_can_lock()) got
moved over to lockdep by the previous patch.
This patch removes the use of {read,spin,write}_can_lock() from the
BUILD_LOCK_OPS macro, deferring to the trylock operation for testing the
lock status, and subsequently removes the unused macros altogether. They
aren't guaranteed to work in a concurrent environment and can give
incorrect results in the case of qrwlock.

Like for the memset16/32/64 variants avoid that subsequent mvc
instructions depend on each other since that might have negative
performance impacts.
This patch is currently hardly relevant since at least gcc 7.1
generates only inline memset code and not a single memset call.
However there is no reason to not provide an optimized version
just in case gcc generates memset calls again, like it did in

Add a syscall of s390_sthyi to implement STHYI instruction in LPAR
which reuses the implementation for KVM by Janosch Frank -
commit 95ca2cb57985 ("KVM: s390: Add sthyi emulation").
STHYI(Store Hypervisor Information) is an emulated z/VM instruction that
provides a guest with basic information about the layers it is running
on. This includes information about the cpu configuration of both the
machine and the lpar, as well as their names, machine model and
machine type. This information enables an application to determine the
maximum capacity of CPs and IFLs available to software.
For the arguments of s390_sthyi, code shall be 0 and flags is reserved for
future use, info is the output argument to store the required hypervisor
info.

We never optimized our rwsem inline assemblies to make use of the new
atomic instructions. The generic rwsem implementation implicitly makes
use of the new instructions, since it implements the required rwsem
primitives with atomic operations, which we did optimize.
However even when compiling for old architectures the generic variant
still generates better code. So it's time to simply remove our old
code and switch to the generic implementation.

The e7 opcode table does not have an end marker. Hence when trying to
find an unknown e7 instruction the code will access memory behind the
table until it finds something that matches the opcode, or the kernel
crashes, whatever comes first.
This affects not only the in-kernel disassembler but also uprobes and
kprobes which refuse to set a probe on unknown instructions, and
therefore search the opcode tables to figure out if instructions are
known or not.

When grouping devices, the ccwgroup core only checks whether all of the
devices are bound to the same ccw_driver. It has no means of checking
if the requesting ccwgroup driver actually supports this device type.
qeth implements its own device matching in qeth_core_probe_device(),
while ctcm and lcs currently have no sanity-checking at all.
Enable ccwgroup drivers to optionally defer the device type checking to
the ccwgroup core, by specifying their supported ccw_driver.
This allows us drop the device type matching from qeth, and improves
the robustness of ctcm and lcs.

Like the common queued rwlock code the s390 implementation uses the
queued spinlock code on a spinlock_t embedded in the rwlock_t to achieve
the queueing. The encoding of the rwlock_t differs though, the counter
field in the rwlock_t is split into two parts. The upper two bytes hold
the write bit and the write wait counter, the lower two bytes hold the
read counter.
The arch_read_lock operation works exactly like the common qrwlock but
the enqueue operation for a writer follows a diffent logic. After the
failed inline try to get the rwlock in write, the writer first increases
the write wait counter, acquires the wait spin_lock for the queueing,
and then loops until there are no readers and the write bit is zero.
Without the write wait counter a CPU that just released the rwlock
could immediately reacquire the lock in the inline code, bypassing all
outstanding read and write waiters. For s390 this would cause massive
imbalances in favour of writers in case of a contended rwlock.

The queued spinlock code for s390 follows the principles of the common
code qspinlock implementation but with a few notable differences.
The format of the spinlock_t locking word differs, s390 needs to store
the logical CPU number of the lock holder in the spinlock_t to be able
to use the diagnose 9c directed yield hypervisor call.
The inline code sequences for spin_lock and spin_unlock are nice and
short. The inline portion of a spin_lock now typically looks like this:
lhi %r0,0 # 0 indicates an empty lock
l %r1,0x3a0 # CPU number + 1 from lowcore
cs %r0,%r1,<some_lock> # lock operation
jnz call_wait # on failure call wait function
locked:
...
call_wait:
la %r2,<some_lock>
brasl %r14,arch_spin_lock_wait
j locked
A spin_unlock is as simple as before:
lhi %r0,0
sth %r0,2(%r2) # unlock operation
After a CPU has queued itself it may not enable interrupts again for the
arch_spin_lock_flags() variant. The arch_spin_lock_wait_flags wait function
is removed.
To improve performance the code implements opportunistic lock stealing.
If the wait function finds a spinlock_t that indicates that the lock is
free but there are queued waiters, the CPU may steal the lock up to three
times without queueing itself. The lock stealing update the steal counter
in the lock word to prevent more than 3 steals. The counter is reset at
the time the CPU next in the queue successfully takes the lock.
While the queued spinlocks improve performance in a system with dedicated
CPUs, in a virtualized environment with continuously overcommitted CPUs
the queued spinlocks can have a negative effect on performance. This
is due to the fact that a queued CPU that is preempted by the hypervisor
will block the queue at some point even without holding the lock. With
the classic spinlock it does not matter if a CPU is preempted that waits
for the lock. Therefore use the queued spinlock code only if the system
runs with dedicated CPUs and fall back to classic spinlocks when running
with shared CPUs.

The queued spinlock code will come out simpler if the encoding of
the CPU that holds the spinlock is (cpu+1) instead of (~cpu).

The topology information returned by STSI 15.x.x contains a flag
if the CPUs of a topology-list are dedicated or shared. Make this
information available if the machine provides topology information.

Paul Burton reported that the nr_cpumask_bits check
within cpumsf_pmu_event_init() is not necessary.
Actually there is already a prior check within
perf_event_alloc(). Therefore remove the check.

Free data structures required for guarded storage from
arch_release_task_struct(). This allows to simplify the code a bit,
and also makes the semantics a bit easier: arch_release_task_struct()
is never called from the task that is being removed.
In addition this allows to get rid of exit_thread() in a later patch.

If the guarded storage regset for current is supposed to be changed,
the regset from user space is copied directly into the guarded storage
control block.
If then the process gets scheduled away while the control block is
being copied and before the new control block has been loaded, the
result is random: the process can be scheduled away due to a page
fault or preemption. If that happens the already copied parts will be
overwritten by save_gs_cb(), called from switch_to().
Avoid this by copying the data to a temporary buffer on the stack and
do the actual update with preemption disabled.

For PREEMPT enabled kernels the guarded storage (GS) code contains a
possible use-after-free bug. If a task that makes use of GS exits, it
will execute do_exit() while still enabled for preemption.
That function will call exit_thread_runtime_instr() via exit_thread().
If exit_thread_gs() gets preempted after the GS control block of the
task has been freed but before the pointer to it is set to NULL, then
save_gs_cb(), called from switch_to(), will write to already freed
memory.
Avoid this and simply disable preemption while freeing the control
block and setting the pointer to NULL.

release_thread() is an empty function that gets called on every task
exit. Move the function to a header file and force inlining of it, so
that the compiler can optimize it away instead of generating a
pointless function call.
