Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options. We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X,
ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT. Replace these 6 options by
S390, 64BIT and COMPAT.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

Remove pagex pseudo page fault code. It does not work together with the
system call speedup that makes the complete system call path enabled for
interrupts. To make pagex and the syscall speedup code work together we would
have to add code to the program check handler to do a critical section cleanup
like the asynchronous interrupt code. This would make program checks slower.
Not what we want.Newer versions of z/VM have the improved pfault pseudo page fault interface.
This replaces the old pagex interface and does not have the problem. So its
better to just rip out the pagex code.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

First step in pushing down the page_table_lock. init_mm.page_table_lock has
been used throughout the architectures (usually for ioremap): not to serialize
kernel address space allocation (that's usually vmlist_lock), but because
pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel expect caller holds it.Reverse that: don't lock or unlock init_mm.page_table_lock in any of the
architectures; instead rely on pud_alloc,pmd_alloc,pte_alloc_kernel to take
and drop it when allocating a new one, to check lest a racing task already
did. Similarly no page_table_lock in vmalloc's map_vm_area.Some temporary ugliness in __pud_alloc and __pmd_alloc: since they also handle
user mms, which are converted only by a later patch, for now they have to lock
differently according to whether or not it's init_mm.If sources get muddled, there's a danger that an arch source taking
init_mm.page_table_lock will be mixed with common source also taking it (or
neither take it). So break the rules and make another change, which should
break the build for such a mismatch: remove the redundant mm arg from
pte_alloc_kernel (ppc64 scrapped its distinct ioremap_mm in 2.6.13).Exceptions: arm26 used pte_alloc_kernel on user mm, now pte_alloc_map; ia64
used pte_alloc_map on init_mm, now pte_alloc_kernel; parisc had bad args to
pmd_alloc and pte_alloc_kernel in unused USE_HPPA_IOREMAP code; ppc64
map_io_page forgot to unlock on failure; ppc mmu_mapin_ram and ppc64 im_free
took page_table_lock for no good reason.Signed-off-by: Hugh Dickins

There is a race in pfault_interrupt. That function gets called two times for
each pfault notification. Once with a subcode of 0 to indicate that a real
page is not available and once with a subcode of 0x80 to indicate that the
page is present again.Since the two external interrupts can be delivered on two different cpus the
order in which the two calls are made is unpredictable. It is possible that
the subcode 0x80 interrupt is completed before the subcode 0x00 interrupt has
done the wake_up() call.To avoid calling wake_up() on an already removed task structure proper task
structure reference counting is needed. Increase the reference counter in the
subcode 0x00 interrupt before setting pfault_wait to zero and return the
reference after the wake_up call.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

The condition for no context in do_exception checks for hard and soft
interrupts by using in_interrupt() but not for preemption. This is bad for
the users of __copy_from/to_user_inatomic because the fault handler might call
schedule although the preemption count is != 0. Use in_atomic() instead
in_interrupt().Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

An arbitrary guest must not be allowed to trigger cmm actions. Only one
specific guest namely the one that serves as the resource monitor may send cmm
messages. Add a parameter that allows to specify the guest that may send
messages. z/VMs resource manager has the name 'VMRMSVM' which is the default.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

The memory setup didn't take care of memory holes and this makes the memory
management think there would be more memory available than there is in
reality. That causes the OOM killer to kill processes even if there is enough
memory left that can be written to the swap space.The patch fixes this by using free_area_init_node with an array of memory
holes instead of free_area_init. Further the patch cleans up the code in
setup.c by splitting setup_arch into smaller pieces.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

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!
