<id>3f6813b9a5e0aaec162a10037c203771a1b2c110</id>
<content type='text'>
Analog to git commit 0c8c0f03e3a292e031596484275c14cf39c0ab7a
"x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'"
move the struct fpu to the end of the struct thread_struct,
set CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT and add the
setup_task_size() function to calculate the correct size
fo the task struct.

For the performance_defconfig this increases the size of
struct task_struct from 7424 bytes to 7936 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==1)
or 7552 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==0). The dynamic allocation of the
struct fpu is removed. The slab cache uses an 8KB block for the
task struct in all cases, there is enough room for the struct fpu.
For MACHINE_HAS_VX==1 each task now needs 512 bytes less memory.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:

 - Add the CPU id for the new z13s machine

 - Add a s390 specific XOR template for RAID-5 checksumming based on the
   XC instruction.  Remove all other alternatives, XC is always faster

 - The merge of our four different stack tracers into a single one

 - Tidy up the code related to page tables, several large inline
   functions are now out-of-line.  Bloat-o-meter reports ~11K text size
   reduction

 - A binary interface for the priviledged CLP instruction to retrieve
   the hardware view of the installed PCI functions

 - Improvements for the dasd format code

 - Bug fixes and cleanups

Add the missing lpp magic initialization for cpu 0. Without this all
samples on cpu 0 do not have the most significant bit set in the
program parameter field, which we use to distinguish between guest and
host samples if the pid is also 0.

We did initialize the lpp magic in the absolute zero lowcore but
forgot that when switching to the allocated lowcore on cpu 0 only.

<title>arch: Set IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM flag for System RAM</title>

Set IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM in flags of resource ranges with
"System RAM", "Kernel code", "Kernel data", and "Kernel bss".

Note that:

 - IORESOURCE_SYSRAM (i.e. modifier bit) is set in flags when
   IORESOURCE_MEM is already set. IORESOURCE_SYSTEM_RAM is defined
   as (IORESOURCE_MEM|IORESOURCE_SYSRAM).

 - Some archs do not set 'flags' for children nodes, such as
   "Kernel code".  This patch does not change 'flags' in this
   case.

This is a leftover from the 31 bit area. For CONFIG_64BIT the usual
operation "y = x | PSW_ADDR_AMODE" is a nop. Therefore remove all
usages of PSW_ADDR_AMODE and make the code a bit less confusing.

Finally get rid of the leading underscore. I tried this already two or
three years ago, however Michael Holzheu objected since this would
break the crash utility (again).

However Michael integrated support for the new name into the crash
utility back then, so it doesn't break if the name will be changed
now.  So finally get rid of the ever confusing leading underscore.

This patch exposes the SIE capability (aka virtualization support) via
/proc/cpuinfo -&gt; "features" as "sie".

As we don't want to expose this hwcap via elf, let's add a second,
"internal"/non-elf capability list. The content is simply concatenated
to the existing features when printing /proc/cpuinfo.

We also add the defines to elf.h to keep the hwcap stuff at a common
place.

To collect the CPU registers of the crashed system allocated a single
page with memblock_alloc_base and use it as a copy buffer. Replace the
stop-and-store-status sigp with a store-status-at-address sigp in
smp_save_dump_cpus() and smp_store_status(). In both cases the target
CPU is already stopped and store-status-at-address avoids the detour
via the absolute zero page.

For kexec simplify s390_reset_system and call store_status() before
the prefix register of the boot CPU has been set to zero. Use STPX
to store the prefix register and remove dump_prefix_page.
