Use the more commonly used __noreturn instead of ATTRIB_NORETURN.

Move the program interruption code and the translation exception identifier
to the pt_regs structure as 'int_code' and 'int_parm_long' and make the
first level interrupt handler in entry[64].S store the two values. That
makes it possible to drop 'prot_addr' and 'trap_no' from the thread_struct
and to reduce the number of arguments to a lot of functions. Finally
un-inline do_trap. Overall this saves 5812 bytes in the .text section of
the 64 bit kernel.

Split out addressing mode bits from PSW_BASE_BITS, rename PSW_BASE_BITS
to PSW_MASK_BASE, get rid of psw_user32_bits, remove unused function
enabled_wait(), introduce PSW_MASK_USER, and drop PSW_MASK_MERGE macros.
Change psw_kernel_bits / psw_user_bits to contain only the bits that
are always set in the respective mode.

An instruction with an address right below the adress limit for the
current addressing mode will wrap. The instruction restart logic in
the protection fault handler and the signal code need to follow the
wrapping rules to find the correct instruction address.

<title>[S390] kvm guest address space mapping</title>

Add code that allows KVM to control the virtual memory layout that
is seen by a guest. The guest address space uses a second page table
that shares the last level pte-tables with the process page table.
If a page is unmapped from the process page table it is automatically
unmapped from the guest page table as well.

The guest address space mapping starts out empty, KVM can map any
individual 1MB segments from the process virtual memory to any 1MB
aligned location in the guest virtual memory. If a target segment in
the process virtual memory does not exist or is unmapped while a
guest mapping exists the desired target address is stored as an
invalid segment table entry in the guest page table.
The population of the guest page table is fault driven.

<title>[S390] pfault: cpu hotplug vs missing completion interrupts</title>

On cpu hot remove a PFAULT CANCEL command is sent to the hypervisor
which in turn will cancel all outstanding pfault requests that have
been issued on that cpu (the same happens with a SIGP cpu reset).

The result is that we end up with uninterruptible processes where
the interrupt that would wake up these processes never arrives.

In order to solve this all processes which wait for a pfault
completion interrupt get woken up after a cpu hot remove. The worst
case that could happen is that they fault again and in turn need to
wait again.

task_show_regs used to be a debugging aid in the early bringup days
of Linux on s390. /proc/&lt;pid&gt;/status is a world readable file, it
is not a good idea to show the registers of a process. The only
correct fix is to remove task_show_regs.

Get rid of messages that indicate if a cpu went online or offline.
There is nothing special about this anymore and these messages might
flood the kernel log buffer which makes debugging harder since more
important messages might be overwritten.
