92fe31329c [S390] zcore: CPU registers are not saved under LPAR
To save the registers for all CPUs a sigp "store status" is done that
stores the registers to address absolute zero. To access storage at
absolute zero, normally the address of the prefix register of the
accessing CPU has to be used. This does not work when large pages are
active (currently only under LPAR). In order to fix that problem,
instead of memcpy memcpy_real is used, which switches to real mode
where prefixing works.

c9be0a36f9 sysdev: Pass attribute in sysdev_class attributes show/store
Passing the attribute to the low level IO functions allows all kinds
of cleanups, by sharing low level IO code without requiring
an own function for every piece of data.

Also drivers can extend the attributes with own data fields
and use that in the low level function.

Similar to sysdev_attributes and normal attributes.

This is a tree-wide sweep, converting everything in one go.

No functional changes in this patch other than passing the new
argument everywhere.

Tested on x86, the non x86 parts are uncompiled.

cbb870c822 [S390] Cleanup struct _lowcore usage and defines.
Use asm offsets to make sure the offset defines to struct _lowcore and
its layout don't get out of sync.
Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON() which checks that the size of the structure
is sane.
And while being at it change those sites which use odd casts to access
the current lowcore. These should use S390_lowcore instead.

b3dcf3de8e [S390] smp: fix sigp sense handling
sigp sense only returns the status of a cpu if it is non zero. If the
status of the sensed cpu is all zeros condition code 0 (accpeted) is
set and no status bits are returned.
The current code however assumes that a status was returned and tests
bits in it. This means uninitalized data is accessed with random
results.
Worst case is that the code that checks if cpu is offline on cpu
hotplug assumes that the target cpu is offline while it is still
running. This leads potentially to memory corruption since resources
that are still needed by the target cpu will be freed and could be
resused while still in use.

4f8048ee73 [S390] smp: fix prefix handling of offlined cpus
Offlined cpus still have valid prefix register contents. Dumpers
will store the register contents of a cpu to the location where its
prefix register points to.
For offlined cpus the area (lowcore) has been freed and the dumper
would write the uninteresting contents of the offline cpu to a memory
location which might be in use by some other component and destroy
valueable information.
To fix this set the prefix register of offline cpus to absolute
address zero again. This prevents the current dumpers to write to
random memory locations.

1aaf179d04 [S390] hibernate: Do real CPU swap at resume time
Currently, when the physical resume CPU is not equal to the physical suspend
CPU, we swap the CPUs logically, by modifying the logical/physical CPU mapping.
This has two major drawbacks: First the change is visible from user space (e.g.
CPU sysfs files) and second it is hard to ensure that nowhere in the kernel
the physical CPU ID is stored before suspend.
To fix this, we now really swap the physical CPUs, if the resume CPU is not
the pysical suspend CPU. We restart the suspend CPU and stop the resume CPU
using SIGP restart and SIGP stop. If the suspend CPU is no longer available,
we write a message and load a disabled wait PSW.

88e012856d [S390] smp: fix cpu_possible_map initialization
The cpu_possible_map by default is initialized with all ones in s390.
If the kernel paramert possible_cpus=<x> is passed the cpu_possible_map
is supposed to have x bits set.
However the current code just sets the x bits without clearing the NR_CPUS
bits that were already set. So we end up with an unchanged map that has
all bits set.
To fix this just clear the map before setting any new bits.

This broke with def6cfb70b

93632d1bf7 [S390] cpumask: prepare for iterators to only go to nr_cpu_ids/nr_cpumask_bits.
Impact: cleanup, futureproof

In fact, all cpumask ops will only be valid (in general) for bit
numbers < nr_cpu_ids.  So use that instead of NR_CPUS in various
places (I also updated the immediate sites to use the new cpumask_
operators).

This is always safe: no cpu number can be >= nr_cpu_ids, and
nr_cpu_ids is initialized to NR_CPUS at boot.

   CONFIG_INIT_ALL_POSSIBLE for this rather than break them.

2) mips and sparc32 '#define cpu_possible_map phys_cpu_present_map'.
   Those archs simply have phys_cpu_present_map replaced everywhere.

3) Alpha defined cpu_possible_map to cpu_present_map; this is tricky
   so I just manipulate them both in sync.

4) IA64, cris and m32r have gratuitous 'extern cpumask_t cpu_possible_map'
   declarations.

da5aae7036 [S390] Fix sysdev class file creation.
Use sysdev_class_create_file() to create create sysdev class attributes
instead of sysfs_create_file(). Using sysfs_create_file() wasn't a very
good idea since the show and store functions have a different amount of
parameters for sysfs files and sysdev class files.
In particular the pointer to the buffer is the last argument and
therefore accesses to random memory regions happened.
Still worked surprisingly well until we got a kernel panic.

e545a6140b kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier
Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.

The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.

Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.

Remove the now unneeded s390_idle.lock spinlock initialization after
Josef Sipek did it the right way in arch/s390/kernel/process.c.

4a0b2b4dbe sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.

Runtime tested: x86-32, x86-64
Compiled only: ia64, powerpc
Not compile tested/only grep converted: sh, arm, avr32

It's not even passed on to smp_call_function() anymore, since that
was removed. So kill it.

24d3e210c1 [S390] Fix build failure in __cpu_up()
The first argument to __ctl_store() should be the array to store
stuff in, not just the first element of that array.  With the
current code in __cpu_up(), mainline GCC dies with an internal
compiler error.  I didn't diagnose that further, but just fixed
the kernel bug.
