struct user.u_ar0 is defined to contain a pointer offset on all
architectures in which it is defined (all architectures which define an
a.out format except SPARC.) However, it has a pointer type in the headers,
which is pointless -- <asm/user.h> is not exported to userspace, and it
just makes the code messy.
Redefine the field as "unsigned long" (which is the same size as a pointer
on all Linux architectures) and change the setting code to user offsetof()
instead of hand-coded arithmetic.

This moves the ability to scale cputime into generic code. This allows us
to fix the issue in kernel/timer.c (noticed by Balbir) where we could only
add an unscaled value to the scaled utime/stime.
This adds a cputime_to_scaled function. As before, the POWERPC version
does the scaling based on the last SPURR/PURR ratio calculated. The
generic and s390 (only other arch to implement asm/cputime.h) versions are
both NOPs.
Also moves the SPURR and PURR snapshots closer.

The pgd/pud/pmd/pte page table allocation functions get a mm_struct pointer as
first argument. The free functions do not get the mm_struct argument. This
is 1) asymmetrical and 2) to do mm related page table allocations the mm
argument is needed on the free function as well.

The following replaces the earlier patches sent. It should address
David Rientjes's comments, and has been compile tested on all the
architectures that it touches, save for parisc.
For the /proc/<pid>/pagemap code[1], we need to able to query how
much virtual address space a particular task has. The trick is
that we do it through /proc and can't use TASK_SIZE since it
references "current" on some arches. The process opening the
/proc file might be a 32-bit process opening a 64-bit process's
pagemap file.
x86_64 already has a TASK_SIZE_OF() macro:
#define TASK_SIZE_OF(child) ((test_tsk_thread_flag(child, TIF_IA32)) ? IA32_PAGE_OFFSET : TASK_SIZE64)
I'd like to have that for other architectures. So, add it
for all the architectures that actually use "current" in
their TASK_SIZE. For the others, just add a quick #define
in sched.h to use plain old TASK_SIZE.

The bitops header is now a bit shorter and easier to understand since
it uses less inline assembly. It requires some tricks to persuade the
compiler to generate decent code. The ffz/ffs functions now use the

With this cleanup the new bitops for ext4 can be implemented with a

In s390's spin_lock_irqsave, interrupts remain disabled while
spinning. In other architectures like x86 and powerpc, interrupts are
re-enabled while spinning if IRQ is not masked before spin_lock_irqsave
is called.
The following patch re-enables interrupts through local_irq_restore
while spinning for a lock acquisition.
This can improve system response.

This patch fixes a problem with the following scenario:
1. Linux booted from DASD "A"
2. Reboot from DASD "B" using "/sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/device"
3. Reboot DASD "B"
Without this patch in step 3 on newer s390 systems under LPAR instead of
DASD "B", DASD "A" will be booted. The reason is that in step 2 we use CCW
reipl and in step 3 we use DIAG308 (subcode 3) reipl. DIAG308 does not
notice the CCW reipl and still thinks that it has to reboot DASD "A".
Before applying this fix, ensure to have MCF RJ9967101E or z9 GA3 base driver
installed.

In case of a kernel panic it is currently possible to specify that a dump
should be created, the system should be rebooted or stopped. Virtual sysfs
files under the directory /sys/firmware/ are used for that configuration.
In addition to that, there are kernel parameters 'vmhalt', 'vmpoff'
and 'vmpanic', which can be used to specify z/VM commands, which are
automatically executed in case of halt, power off or a kernel panic.
This patch combines both functionalities and allows to specify the z/VM CP
commands also via sysfs attributes. In addition to that, it enhances the
existing handling of shutdown triggers (e.g. halt or panic) and associated
shutdown actions (e.g. dump or reipl) and makes it more flexible.

Currently the vmalloc area starts at a dynamic address depending on
the memory size. There was also an 8MB security hole after the
physical memory to catch out-of-bounds accesses.
We can simplify the code by putting the vmalloc area explicitely at
the top of the kernel mapping and setting the vmalloc size to a fixed
value of 128MB/128GB for 31bit/64bit systems. Part of the vmalloc
area will be used for the vmem_map. This leaves an area of 96MB/1GB
for normal vmalloc allocations.

The clear-by-asce operation of the idte instruction gets an asce
(address-space-control-element) as argument to specify which TLBs
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.

Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and
configured state.
Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state.
For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used.
To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute.
In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to
the attribute.
Only cpus in configured state can be brought online.
In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to
logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus
will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan"
must be used.
Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of
cpus and will create directories for new cpus.
On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all
cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).

Git commit 3610cce87af0693603db171d5b6f6735f5e3dc5b (yeah my own :-/)
introduced a bug in regard to pud/pmd table entries.
If the address of the page table refered to by a pud/pmd value happens
to have zeroes in the lower 32 bits, pud_present and pmd_present return
false. The obvious effect is that this triggers the BUG_ON in exit_mmap
because some ptes will not get released on process end. Worse is that
the next fault for memory covered by that pud/pmd will allocate another
pmd/pte table and populate the pud/pmd entry. The old page table
entries hanging below this entry are lost!
The fix is simple, properly check against 0. The check is added for
pud_none/pmd_none as well even if these two functions work because
the invalid bit is in the lower 32 bits.

Current support for TRACE_IRQFLAGS and lockdep_sys_exit is broken.
IRQ flag tracing is broken for program checks. Even worse is that
the newly introduced calls to lockdep_sys_exit are in the critical
section code which is not supposed to call any C functions. In
addition the checks if locks are still held are also done when
returning to kernel code which is broken as well.
Fix all this by disabling interrupts and machine checks at the
exit paths and then do the appropriate checks and calls.

Change the page member of the scatterlist structure to be an unsigned
long, and encode more stuff in the lower bits:
- Bits 0 and 1 zero: this is a normal sg entry. Next sg entry is located
at sg + 1.
- Bit 0 set: this is a chain entry, the next real entry is at ->page_link
with the two low bits masked off.
- Bit 1 set: this is the final entry in the sg entry. sg_next() will return
NULL when passed such an entry.
It's thus important that sg table users use the proper accessors to get
and set the page member.

The current tlb flushing code for page table entries violates the
s390 architecture in a small detail. The relevant section from the
principles of operation (SA22-7832-02 page 3-47):
"A valid table entry must not be changed while it is attached
to any CPU and may be used for translation by that CPU except to
(1) invalidate the entry by using INVALIDATE PAGE TABLE ENTRY or
INVALIDATE DAT TABLE ENTRY, (2) alter bits 56-63 of a page-table
entry, or (3) make a change by means of a COMPARE AND SWAP AND
PURGE instruction that purges the TLB."
That means if one thread of a multithreaded applciation uses a vma
while another thread does an unmap on it, the page table entries of
that vma needs to get removed with IPTE, IDTE or CSP. In some strange
and rare situations a cpu could check-stop (die) because a entry has
been pushed out of the TLB that is still needed to complete a
(milli-coded) instruction. I've never seen it happen with the current
code on any of the supported machines, so right now this is a
theoretical problem. But I want to fix it nevertheless, to avoid
headaches in the futures.
To get this implemented correctly without changing common code the
primitives ptep_get_and_clear, ptep_get_and_clear_full and
ptep_set_wrprotect need to use the IPTE instruction to invalidate the
pte before the new pte value gets stored. If IPTE is always used for
the three primitives three important operations will have a performace
hit: fork, mprotect and exit_mmap. Time for some workarounds:
* 1: ptep_get_and_clear_full is used in unmap_vmas to remove page
tables entries in a batched tlb gather operation. If the mmu_gather
context passed to unmap_vmas has been started with full_mm_flush==1
or if only one cpu is online or if the only user of a mm_struct is the
current process then the fullmm indication in the mmu_gather context is
set to one. All TLBs for mm_struct are flushed by the tlb_gather_mmu
call. No new TLBs can be created while the unmap is in progress. In
this case ptep_get_and_clear_full clears the ptes with a simple store.
* 2: ptep_get_and_clear is used in change_protection to clear the
ptes from the page tables before they are reentered with the new
access flags. At the end of the update flush_tlb_range clears the
remaining TLBs. In general the ptep_get_and_clear has to issue IPTE
for each pte and flush_tlb_range is a nop. But if there is only one
user of the mm_struct then ptep_get_and_clear uses simple stores
to do the update and flush_tlb_range will flush the TLBs.
* 3: Similar to 2, ptep_set_wrprotect is used in copy_page_range
for a fork to make all ptes of a cow mapping read-only. At the end of
of copy_page_range dup_mmap will flush the TLBs with a call to
flush_tlb_mm. Check for mm->mm_users and if there is only one user
avoid using IPTE in ptep_set_wrprotect and let flush_tlb_mm clear the
TLBs.
Overall for single threaded programs the tlb flush code now performs
better, for multi threaded programs it is slightly worse. In particular
exit_mmap() now does a single IDTE for the mm and then just frees every
page cache reference and every page table page directly without a delay
over the mmu_gather structure.

Add two new sysfs entries per cpu: idle_count and idle_time.
idle_count contains the number of times a cpu went into idle state.
idle_time contains the time a cpu spent in idle state in microseconds.
This can be used e.g. by powertop to tell how often idle state is
entered and left.
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/idle_count
504
# cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/idle_time

forbid asm/bitops.h direct inclusion
Because of compile errors that may occur after bit changes if asm/bitops.h is
included directly without e.g. linux/kernel.h which includes linux/bitops.h,
forbid direct inclusion of asm/bitops.h. Thanks to Adrian Bunk.

Nobody uses flush_tlb_pgtables anymore, this patch removes all remaining
traces of it from all archs.
