Now that hopefully all inline assemblies have been converted to single
basic blocks we can enable kcov on s390.
Note that this patch does not disable as many files on s390 like the
x86 variant does. Right now I didn't see a reason to do that, however
additional files or directories can be excluded at any time.
The runtime overhead seems to be quite high.

The __put_get_user_asm defines an inline assmembly which makes use of
the asm register construct. The parameters passed to that define may
also contain function calls.
It is a gcc restriction that between register asm statements and the
use of any such annotated variables function calls may clobber the
register / variable contents. Or in other words: gcc would generate
broken code.
This can be achieved e.g. with the following code:
get_user(x, func() ? a : b);
where the call of func would clobber register zero which is used by
the __put_get_user_asm define.
To avoid this add two static inline functions which don't have these
side effects.

Remove hardware sampler support from oprofile module.
The oprofile user space utilty has been switched to use the kernel
perf interface, for which we also provide hardware sampling support.
In addition the hardware sampling support is also slightly broken: it
supports only 16 bits for the pid and therefore would generate wrong
results on machines which have a pid >64k.
Also the pt_regs structure which was passed to oprofile common code
cannot necessarily be used to generate sane backtraces, since the
task(s) in question may run while the samples are fed to oprofile.
So the result would be more or less random.
However given that the only user space tools switched to the perf
interface already four years ago the hardware sampler code seems to be
unused code, and therefore it should be reasonable to remove it.
The timer based oprofile support continues to work.

The usual problem for code that is ifdef'ed out is that it doesn't
compile after a while. That's also the case for the storage key
initialisation code, if it would be used (set PAGE_DEFAULT_KEY to
something not zero):
./arch/s390/include/asm/page.h: In function 'storage_key_init_range':
./arch/s390/include/asm/page.h:36:2: error: implicit declaration of function '__storage_key_init_range'
Since the code itself has been useful for debugging purposes several
times, remove the ifdefs and make sure the code gets compiler
coverage. The cost for this is eight bytes.

We have some inline assemblies where the extable entry points to a
label at the end of an inline assembly which is not followed by an
instruction.
On the other hand we have also inline assemblies where the extable
entry points to the first instruction of an inline assembly.
If a first type inline asm (extable point to empty label at the end)
would be directly followed by a second type inline asm (extable points
to first instruction) then we would have two different extable entries
that point to the same instruction but would have a different target
address.
This can lead to quite random behaviour, depending on sorting order.
I verified that we currently do not have such collisions within the
kernel. However to avoid such subtle bugs add a couple of nop
instructions to those inline assemblies which contain an extable that
points to an empty label.

On s390 __ro_after_init is currently mapped to __read_mostly which
means that data marked as __ro_after_init will not be protected.
Reason for this is that the common code __ro_after_init implementation
is x86 centric: the ro_after_init data section was added to rodata,
since x86 enables write protection to kernel text and rodata very
late. On s390 we have write protection for these sections enabled with
the initial page tables. So adding the ro_after_init data section to
rodata does not work on s390.
In order to make __ro_after_init work properly on s390 move the
ro_after_init data, right behind rodata. Unlike the rodata section it
will be marked read-only later after all init calls happened.
This s390 specific implementation adds new __start_ro_after_init and
__end_ro_after_init labels. Everything in between will be marked
read-only after the init calls happened. In addition to the
__ro_after_init data move also the exception table there, since from a
practical point of view it fits the __ro_after_init requirements.

ptep_flush_lazy and pmdp_flush_lazy use mm->context.attach_count to
decide between a lazy TLB flush vs an immediate TLB flush. The field
contains two 16-bit counters, the number of CPUs that have the mm
attached and can create TLB entries for it and the number of CPUs in
the middle of a page table update.
The __tlb_flush_asce, ptep_flush_direct and pmdp_flush_direct functions
use the attach counter and a mask check with mm_cpumask(mm) to decide
between a local flush local of the current CPU and a global flush.
For all these functions the decision between lazy vs immediate and
local vs global TLB flush can be based on CPU masks. There are two
masks: the mm->context.cpu_attach_mask with the CPUs that are actively
using the mm, and the mm_cpumask(mm) with the CPUs that have used the
mm since the last full flush. The decision between lazy vs immediate
flush is based on the mm->context.cpu_attach_mask, to decide between
local vs global flush the mm_cpumask(mm) is used.
With this patch all checks will use the CPU masks, the old counter
mm->context.attach_count with its two 16-bit values is turned into a
single counter mm->context.flush_count that keeps track of the number
of CPUs with incomplete page table updates. The sole user of this
counter is finish_arch_post_lock_switch() which waits for the end of
all page table updates.

The vunmap_pte_range() function calls ptep_get_and_clear() without any
locking. ptep_get_and_clear() uses ptep_xchg_lazy()/ptep_flush_direct()
for the page table update. ptep_flush_direct requires that preemption
is disabled, but without any locking this is not the case. If the kernel
preempts the task while the attach_counter is increased an endless loop
in finish_arch_post_lock_switch() will occur the next time the task is
scheduled.
Add explicit preempt_disable()/preempt_enable() calls to the relevant
functions in arch/s390/mm/pgtable.c.

It is possible to specify a user offset for the TOD clock, e.g. +2 hours.
The TOD clock will carry this offset even if the clock is synchronized
with STP. This makes the time stamps acquired with get_sync_clock()
useless as another LPAR migth use a different TOD offset.
Use the PTFF instrution to get the TOD epoch difference and subtract
it from the TOD clock value to get a physical timestamp. As the epoch
difference contains the sync check delta as well the LPAR offset value
to the physical clock needs to be refreshed after each clock
synchronization.

Reducing the size of reserved memory for the crash kernel will result
in an immediate crash on s390. Reason for that is that we do not
create struct pages for memory that is reserved. If that memory is
freed any access to struct pages which correspond to this memory will
result in invalid memory accesses and a kernel panic.
Fix this by properly creating struct pages when the system gets
initialized. Change the code also to make use of set_memory_ro() and

Show the dynamic and static cpu mhz of each cpu. Since these values
are per cpu this requires a fundamental extension of the format of
/proc/cpuinfo.
Historically we had only a single line per cpu and a summary at the
top of the file. This format is hardly extendible if we want to add
more per cpu information.
Therefore this patch adds per cpu blocks at the end of /proc/cpuinfo:
cpu : 0
cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504
cpu Mhz static : 5504
cpu : 1
cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504
cpu Mhz static : 5504
cpu : 2
cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504
cpu Mhz static : 5504
cpu : 3
cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504
cpu Mhz static : 5504
Right now each block contains only the dynamic and static cpu mhz,
but it can be easily extended like on every other architecture.
This extension is supposed to be compatible with the old format.

Add statistics that show how memory is mapped within the kernel
identity mapping. This is more or less the same like git
commit ce0c0e50f94e ("x86, generic: CPA add statistics about state
of direct mapping v4") for x86.
I also intentionally copied the lower case "k" within DirectMap4k vs
the upper case "M" and "G" within the two other lines. Let's have
consistent inconsistencies across architectures.
The output of /proc/meminfo now contains these additional lines:
DirectMap4k: 2048 kB
DirectMap1M: 3991552 kB
DirectMap2G: 4194304 kB
The implementation on s390 is lockless unlike the x86 version, since I
assume changes to the kernel mapping are a very rare event. Therefore
it really doesn't matter if these statistics could potentially be
inconsistent if read while kernel pages tables are being changed.

set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw() currently only work on 4k
mappings, which is good enough for module code aka the vmalloc area.
However we stumbled already twice into the need to make this also work
on larger mappings:
- the ro after init patch set
- the crash kernel resize code
Therefore this patch implements automatic kernel page table splitting
if e.g. set_memory_ro() would be called on parts of a 2G mapping.
This works quite the same as the x86 code, but is much simpler.
In order to make this work and to be architecturally compliant we now
always use the csp, cspg or crdte instructions to replace valid page
table entries. This means that set_memory_ro() and set_memory_rw()
will be much more expensive than before. In order to avoid huge
latencies the code contains a couple of cond_resched() calls.
The current code only splits page tables, but does not merge them if
it would be possible. The reason for this is that currently there is
no real life scenarion where this would really happen. All current use
cases that I know of only change access rights once during the life
time. If that should change we can still implement kernel page table
merging at a later time.
