<title>s390: add a system call for guarded storage</title>

<id>916cda1aa1b412d7cf2991c3af7479544942d121</id>
<content type='text'>
This adds a new system call to enable the use of guarded storage for
user space processes. The system call takes two arguments, a command
and pointer to a guarded storage control block:

    s390_guarded_storage(int command, struct gs_cb *gs_cb);

The second argument is relevant only for the GS_SET_BC_CB command.

The commands in detail:

0 - GS_ENABLE
    Enable the guarded storage facility for the current task. The
    initial content of the guarded storage control block will be
    all zeros. After the enablement the user space code can use
    load-guarded-storage-controls instruction (LGSC) to load an
    arbitrary control block. While a task is enabled the kernel
    will save and restore the current content of the guarded
    storage registers on context switch.
1 - GS_DISABLE
    Disables the use of the guarded storage facility for the current
    task. The kernel will cease to save and restore the content of
    the guarded storage registers, the task specific content of
    these registers is lost.
2 - GS_SET_BC_CB
    Set a broadcast guarded storage control block. This is called
    per thread and stores a specific guarded storage control block
    in the task struct of the current task. This control block will
    be used for the broadcast event GS_BROADCAST.
3 - GS_CLEAR_BC_CB
    Clears the broadcast guarded storage control block. The guarded-
    storage control block is removed from the task struct that was
    established by GS_SET_BC_CB.
4 - GS_BROADCAST
    Sends a broadcast to all thread siblings of the current task.
    Every sibling that has established a broadcast guarded storage
    control block will load this control block and will be enabled
    for guarded storage. The broadcast guarded storage control block
    is used up, a second broadcast without a refresh of the stored
    control block with GS_SET_BC_CB will not have any effect.

<title>mm: add new mmgrab() helper</title>

Apart from adding the helper function itself, the rest of the kernel is
converted mechanically using:

  git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&amp;\(.*\)-&gt;mm_count);/mmgrab\(\1\);/'
  git grep -l 'atomic_inc.*mm_count' | xargs sed -i 's/atomic_inc(&amp;\(.*\)\.mm_count);/mmgrab\(\&amp;\1\);/'

This is needed for a later patch that hooks into the helper, but might
be a worthwhile cleanup on its own.

Add hardware capability bits and feature tags to /proc/cpuinfo for
the "Vector Packed Decimal Facility" (tag "vxd" / hwcap bit 2^12)
and the "Vector Enhancements Facility 1" (tag "vxe" / hwcap bit 2^13).

Yet another trivial patch to reduce the noise that coccinelle
generates.

<title>locking/core: Introduce cpu_relax_yield()</title>

For spinning loops people do often use barrier() or cpu_relax().
For most architectures cpu_relax and barrier are the same, but on
some architectures cpu_relax can add some latency.
For example on power,sparc64 and arc, cpu_relax can shift the CPU
towards other hardware threads in an SMT environment.
On s390 cpu_relax does even more, it uses an hypercall to the
hypervisor to give up the timeslice.
In contrast to the SMT yielding this can result in larger latencies.
In some places this latency is unwanted, so another variant
"cpu_relax_lowlatency" was introduced. Before this is used in more
and more places, lets revert the logic and provide a cpu_relax_yield
that can be called in places where yielding is more important than
latency. By default this is the same as cpu_relax on all architectures.

<title>s390/cpuinfo: show maximum thread id</title>

Expose the maximum thread id with /proc/cpuinfo.
With the new line the output looks like this:

vendor_id       : IBM/S390
bogomips per cpu: 20325.00
max thread id   : 1

With this new interface it is possible to always tell the correct
number of cpu threads potentially being used by the kernel.

The cpu field name within /proc/cpuinfo has a conflict with the
powerpc and sparc output where it contains the cpu model name.  So
rename the field name to cpu number which shouldn't generate any
conflicts.
