Martin Schwidefsky 25b41a7b67 s390/sclp: add parameter to specify number of buffer pages
Add a kernel parameter to be able to specify the number of pages to be
used as output buffer by the line-mode sclp driver and the vt220 sclp
driver. The current number of output pages is 6, if the service element
is unavailable the boot messages alone can fill up the output buffer.
If this happens the system blocks until the service element is working
again. For a large LPAR with many devices it is sensible to have the
ability to increase the output buffer size. To help to debug this
situation add a counter for the page-pool-empty situation and make it
available as a sclp driver attribute.
To avoid the system to stall until the service element works again
add another kernel parameter to allow to drop output buffers.

Tejun Heo 5a0e3ad6af include cleanup: Update gfp.h and slab.h includes to prepare for breaking implicit slab.h inclusion from percpu.h
percpu.h is included by sched.h and module.h and thus ends up being
included when building most .c files.  percpu.h includes slab.h which
in turn includes gfp.h making everything defined by the two files
universally available and complicating inclusion dependencies.

percpu.h -> slab.h dependency is about to be removed.  Prepare for
this change by updating users of gfp and slab facilities include those
headers directly instead of assuming availability.  As this conversion
needs to touch large number of source files, the following script is
used as the basis of conversion.

  http://userweb.kernel.org/~tj/misc/slabh-sweep.py

The script does the followings.

* Scan files for gfp and slab usages and update includes such that
  only the necessary includes are there.  ie. if only gfp is used,
  gfp.h, if slab is used, slab.h.

* When the script inserts a new include, it looks at the include
  blocks and try to put the new include such that its order conforms
  to its surrounding.  It's put in the include block which contains
  core kernel includes, in the same order that the rest are ordered -
  alphabetical, Christmas tree, rev-Xmas-tree or at the end if there
  doesn't seem to be any matching order.

* If the script can't find a place to put a new include (mostly
  because the file doesn't have fitting include block), it prints out
  an error message indicating which .h file needs to be added to the
  file.

The conversion was done in the following steps.

1. The initial automatic conversion of all .c files updated slightly
   over 4000 files, deleting around 700 includes and adding ~480 gfp.h
   and ~3000 slab.h inclusions.  The script emitted errors for ~400
   files.

2. Each error was manually checked.  Some didn't need the inclusion,
   some needed manual addition while adding it to implementation .h or
   embedding .c file was more appropriate for others.  This step added
   inclusions to around 150 files.

3. The script was run again and the output was compared to the edits
   from #2 to make sure no file was left behind.

4. Several build tests were done and a couple of problems were fixed.
   e.g. lib/decompress_*.c used malloc/free() wrappers around slab
   APIs requiring slab.h to be added manually.

5. The script was run on all .h files but without automatically
   editing them as sprinkling gfp.h and slab.h inclusions around .h
   files could easily lead to inclusion dependency hell.  Most gfp.h
   inclusion directives were ignored as stuff from gfp.h was usually
   wildly available and often used in preprocessor macros.  Each
   slab.h inclusion directive was examined and added manually as
   necessary.

6. percpu.h was updated not to include slab.h.

7. Build test were done on the following configurations and failures
   were fixed.  CONFIG_GCOV_KERNEL was turned off for all tests (as my
   distributed build env didn't work with gcov compiles) and a few
   more options had to be turned off depending on archs to make things
   build (like ipr on powerpc/64 which failed due to missing writeq).

   * x86 and x86_64 UP and SMP allmodconfig and a custom test config.
   * powerpc and powerpc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * sparc and sparc64 SMP allmodconfig
   * ia64 SMP allmodconfig
   * s390 SMP allmodconfig
   * alpha SMP allmodconfig
   * um on x86_64 SMP allmodconfig

8. percpu.h modifications were reverted so that it could be applied as
   a separate patch and serve as bisection point.

Given the fact that I had only a couple of failures from tests on step
6, I'm fairly confident about the coverage of this conversion patch.
If there is a breakage, it's likely to be something in one of the arch
headers which should be easily discoverable easily on most builds of
the specific arch.

Michael Holzheu f3dfa86caa [S390] Use del_timer instead of del_timer_sync
When syncing the sclp console queue, we call del_timer_sync() while holding
the "sclp_con_lock" spinlock. This lock is also taken in the timer function
"sclp_console_timeout". Therefore the sync version of del_timer() cannot be
used here. Because the synchronous deletion of the timer is only needed
in the suspend callback and in that case only one CPU is remaining and
therefore it is not possible that the timer function is running in parallel,
we can safely use del_timer() instead of del_timer_sync().

Michael Holzheu 62b7494209 [S390] pm: power management support for SCLP drivers.
The SCLP base driver defines a new notifier call back for all upper level SCLP
drivers, like the SCLP console, etc. This guarantees that in suspend first the
upper level drivers are suspended and afterwards the SCLP base driver. For
resume it is the other way round. The SCLP base driver itself registers a
new platform device at the platform bus and gets PM notifications via
the dev_pm_ops.

In suspend, the SCLP base driver switches off the receiver and sender mask
This is done in sclp_deactivate(). After suspend all new requests will be
rejected with -EIO and no more interrupts will be received, because the masks
are switched off. For resume the sender and receiver masks are reset in
the sclp_reactivate() function.

When the SCLP console is suspended, all new messages are cached in the
sclp console buffers. In resume, all the cached messages are written to the
console. In addition to that we have an early resume function that removes
the cached messages from the suspend image.

Holger Smolinski 2332ce1a97 [S390] console flush on panic / reboot
The s390 console drivers use the unblank callback of the console
structure to flush the console buffer. In case of a panic or a
reboot the CPU doing the callback can block on the console i/o.
The other CPUs in the system continue to work. For panic this is
not a good idea.

Replace the unblank callback with proper panic/reboot notifier.
These get called after all but one CPU have been stopped.

Heiko Carstens 095761d28a [S390] sclp_tty: remove ioctl interface.
After all we came to the conclusion that this interface doesn't make any
sense. Besides that the ioctl number used was never registered, the header
file isn't exported, and we doubt there is even a single user.
So remove this interface, since it eases maintenance.

Julia Lawall 3ca1c9907a [S390] drivers/s390: Eliminate NULL test and memset after alloc_bootmem
As noted by Akinobu Mita in patch b1fceac2b9,
alloc_bootmem and related functions never return NULL and always return a
zeroed region of memory.  Thus a NULL test or memset after calls to these
functions is unnecessary.

Linus Torvalds 1da177e4c3 Linux-2.6.12-rc2
Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
