The concepts of VDSO and gcov-based profiling don't mix: the former
includes kernel-provided code running in userspace, the latter adds
instructions that modify counters in kernel data segments. On s390
this has not been a problem so far due to VDSO code being written in
all-assembler which is exempt from gcov-based profiling. This could
change in the future, so disable profiling excplicitly for VDSO code.

The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table
entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between
memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies
on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space
page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary
space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case.
Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines.
The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the
memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been
used to fetch the instruction.
This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled
with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current
noexec support.

Currently the diag10() function can only release one page. For exploiters
that have to call diag10 on a contiguous memory region this is suboptimal.
This patch replaces the diag10() function with diag10_range() that is
able to release multiple pages. In addition to that the new function now
allows to release memory with addresses higher than 2047 MiB. This was
due to a restriction of the diagnose implementation under z/VM prior to
release 5.2.

When starting a new CPU we currently jump to start_secondary() without
setting register 14 (the return address) correctly. Therefore on the stack
frame for start_secondary an invalid return address is stored. This leads
to wrong stack back traces in kernel dumps.
Example:
#00 [1f33fe48] cpu_idle at 10614a
#01 [1f33fe90] start_secondary at 54fa88
#02 [1f33feb8] (null) at 0 <--- invalid
To fix this start_secondary() is called now with basr/brasl that sets
register 14 correctly. The output of the stack backtrace looks then
like the following:
#00 [1f33fe48] cpu_idle at 10614a
#01 [1f33fe90] start_secondary at 54fa88
#02 [1f33feb8] restart_base at 54f41e <--- correct

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.
In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.
This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.
BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!

The latest binutils won't accept the stfl instruction with march=g5
which is the correct behaviour. Unfortunately head.S is assembled
with -march=g5 even if the target cpu is z900 or later. To get
31-bit kernels compiled again the easiest fix is to use the .insn
notation for the stfl instruction in head.S.

After the execution has been switched to the destination CPU, the target
function is called with the wrong parameter. According to the C calling
convention on s390, the first parameter should be loaded into register 2.
Currently in smp_restart_cpu() it is stored in register 3. To fix this, we
load the parameter into the correct register 2.

Percpu allocator honors alignment request upto PAGE_SIZE and both the
percpu addresses in the percpu address space and the translated kernel
addresses should be aligned accordingly. The calculation of the
former depends on the alignment of percpu output section in the kernel
image.
The linker script macros PERCPU_VADDR() and PERCPU() are used to
define this output section and the latter takes @align parameter.
Several architectures are using @align smaller than PAGE_SIZE breaking
percpu memory alignment.
This patch removes @align parameter from PERCPU(), renames it to
PERCPU_SECTION() and makes it always align to PAGE_SIZE. While at it,
add PCPU_SETUP_BUG_ON() checks such that alignment problems are
reliably detected and remove percpu alignment comment recently added
in workqueue.c as the condition would trigger BUG way before reaching
there.
For um, this patch raises the alignment of percpu area. As the area
is in .init, there shouldn't be any noticeable difference.
This problem was discovered by David Howells while debugging boot
failure on mn10300.

The vdso object is currently always mapped with mm->mmap_base used as
requested address. In case of flexible mmap layout this means it gets
mapped above mmap_base and therefore potentially stealing a bit of
address space that is reserved for the stack.
In case of flexible mmap layout the object should be mapped below
mmap base. For legacy mmap layout above.
To fix this just don't request any specific address and let the mmap
code figure out an address that fits.
