The zEC12 machines introduced the local-clearing control for the IDTE and IPTE instruction. If the control is set only the TLB of the local CPU is cleared of entries, either all entries of a single address space for IDTE, or the entry for a single page-table entry for IPTE. Without the local-clearing control the TLB flush is broadcasted to all CPUs in the configuration, which is expensive. The reset of the bit mask of the CPUs that need flushing after a non-local IDTE is tricky. As TLB entries for an address space remain in the TLB even if the address space is detached a new bit field is required to keep track of attached CPUs vs. CPUs in the need of a flush. After a non-local flush with IDTE the bit-field of attached CPUs is copied to the bit-field of CPUs in need of a flush. The ordering of operations on cpu_attach_mask, attach_count and mm_cpumask(mm) is such that an underindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is prevented but an overindication in mm_cpumask(mm) is possible.

The principles of operations states that the CPU is allowed to create TLB entries for an address space anytime while an ASCE is loaded to the control register. This is true even if the CPU is running in the kernel and the user address space is not (actively) accessed. In theory this can affect two aspects of the TLB flush logic. For full-mm flushes the ASCE of the dying process is still attached. The approach to flush first with IDTE and then just free all page tables can in theory lead to stale TLB entries. Use the batched free of page tables for the full-mm flushes as well. For operations that can have a stale ASCE in the control register, e.g. a delayed update_user_asce in switch_mm, load the kernel ASCE to prevent invalid TLBs from being created.

Use the new defines for external interruption codes to get rid of "magic" numbers in the s390 source code. And while we're at it, also rename the (un-)register_external_interrupt function to something shorter so that this patch does not exceed the 80 columns all over the place.

This patch adds a timeout option for queued requests and introduces sclp_sync_request_timeout() to use this timer. With this, blocking the system too long, e.g. during an SE reboot, can be avoided in critical situations like CPU and memory hotplug. Since there is no way to cancel a running request, this timeout only applies to queued requests that have not yet been started.

If the 3270 device is detached the initial reset device request will stays pending until the device is operational. A second reset device call will reuse the same request structure which will cause an oops. Add a check to see if the reset device request is already pending and do nothing in this case.

When reworking the bitops and atomic ops I missed that those instructions that got atomic behaviour only perform a "specific-operand-serialization" instead of a full "serialization". The compare-and-swap instruction used before performs a full serialization before and after the instruction is executed, which means it has full memory barrier semantics. In order to give the new bitops and atomic ops functions also full memory barrier semantics add a "bcr 14,0" before and after each of those new instructions which performs full serialization as well. This restores memory barrier semantics for bitops and atomic ops functions which return values, like e.g. atomic_add_return(), but not for functions which do not return a value, like e.g. atomic_add(). This is consistent to other architectures and what common code requires.

Pull s390 compat wrapper rework from Heiko Carstens: "S390 compat system call wrapper simplification work. The intention of this work is to get rid of all hand written assembly compat system call wrappers on s390, which perform proper sign or zero extension, or pointer conversion of compat system call parameters. Instead all of this should be done with C code eg by using Al's COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. Therefore all common code and s390 specific compat system calls have been converted to the COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINEx() macro. In order to generate correct code all compat system calls may only have eg compat_ulong_t parameters, but no unsigned long parameters. Those patches which change parameter types from unsigned long to compat_ulong_t parameters are separate in this series, but shouldn't cause any harm. The only compat system calls which intentionally have 64 bit parameters (preadv64 and pwritev64) in support of the x86/32 ABI haven't been changed, but are now only available if an architecture defines __ARCH_WANT_COMPAT_SYS_PREADV64/PWRITEV64. System calls which do not have a compat variant but still need proper zero extension on s390, like eg "long sys_brk(unsigned long brk)" will get a proper wrapper function with the new s390 specific COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAPx() macro: COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP1(brk, unsigned long, brk); which generates the following code (simplified): asmlinkage long sys_brk(unsigned long brk); asmlinkage long compat_sys_brk(long brk) { return sys_brk((u32)brk); } Given that the C file which contains all the COMPAT_SYSCALL_WRAP lines includes both linux/syscall.h and linux/compat.h, it will generate build errors, if the declaration of sys_brk() doesn't match, or if there exists a non-matching compat_sys_brk() declaration. In addition this will intentionally result in a link error if somewhere else a compat_sys_brk() function exists, which probably should have been used instead. Two more BUILD_BUG_ONs make sure the size and type of each compat syscall parameter can be handled correctly with the s390 specific macros. I converted the compat system calls step by step to verify the generated code is correct and matches the previous code. In fact it did not always match, however that was always a bug in the hand written asm code. In result we get less code, less bugs, and much more sanity checking" * 'compat' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (44 commits) s390/compat: add copyright statement compat: include linux/unistd.h within linux/compat.h s390/compat: get rid of compat wrapper assembly code s390/compat: build error for large compat syscall args mm/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types kexec/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types net/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types ipc/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE with changing parameter types ipc/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE fs/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE security/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE mm/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE net/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE kernel/compat: convert to COMPAT_SYSCALL_DEFINE fs/compat: optional preadv64/pwrite64 compat system calls ipc/compat_sys_msgrcv: change msgtyp type from long to compat_long_t s390/compat: partial parameter conversion within syscall wrappers s390/compat: automatic zero, sign and pointer conversion of syscalls s390/compat: add sync_file_range and fallocate compat syscalls ...

Pull hweight type fix from Ingo Molnar: "This lone commit makes sure that __const_hweight8() is unsigned, which addresses a build warning if code is built with -Wsign-compare. I hope the type cast in this cleanup is fine - another option would be to eliminate the double unary negation and use a construct with more obvious integer type characteristics, along the lines of: ((w) & (1ULL << 1) ? 1U : 0U) or so" * 'core-types-for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: bitops: Fix signedness of compile-time hweight implementations

Pull vfs fixes from Al Viro: "Switch mnt_hash to hlist, turning the races between __lookup_mnt() and hash modifications into false negatives from __lookup_mnt() (instead of hangs)" On the false negatives from __lookup_mnt(): "The *only* thing we care about is not getting stuck in __lookup_mnt(). If it misses an entry because something in front of it just got moved around, etc, we are fine. We'll notice that mount_lock mismatch and that'll be it" * 'for-linus-2' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/viro/vfs: switch mnt_hash to hlist don't bother with propagate_mnt() unless the target is shared keep shadowed vfsmounts together resizable namespace.c hashes
