Use a bitmap for indicating which subchannels require evaluation
instead of allocating memory for each evaluation request. This
approach reduces memory consumption during recovery in case of
massive evaluation request occurrence and removes the need for
memory allocation failure handling.Cc: Heiko Carstens

This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time
reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator
signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep
the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability
two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates
for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check
that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details
how to get the clock back in sync see the code below.Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

There are a few places in the kernel where the init task is signaled. The
ctrl+alt+del sequence is one them. It kills a task, usually init, using a
cached pid (cad_pid).This patch replaces the pid_t by a struct pid to avoid pid wrap around
problem. The struct pid is initialized at boot time in init() and can be
modified through systctl with/proc/sys/kernel/cad_pid
[ I haven't found any distro using it ? ]
It also introduces a small helper routine kill_cad_pid() which is used
where it seemed ok to use cad_pid instead of pid 1.[akpm@osdl.org: cleanups, build fix]

Major cleanup of all s390 inline assemblies. They now have a common
coding style. Quite a few have been shortened, mainly by using register
asm variables. Use of the EX_TABLE macro helps as well. The atomic ops,
bit ops and locking inlines new use the Q-constraint if a newer gcc
is used. That results in slightly better code.Thanks to Christian Borntraeger for proof reading the changes.

1. Multipath devices for which SetPGID is not supported are not handled well.
Use NOP ccws for path verification (sans path grouping) when SetPGID is not
supported.
2. Check for PGIDs already set with SensePGID on _all_ paths (not just the
first one) and try to find a common one. Moan if no common PGID can be
found (and use NOP verification). If no PGIDs have been set, use the css
global PGID (as before). (Rationale: SetPGID will get a command reject if
the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be
savely ignored by the machine check handler (all other actions create
unsolicited CRWs).Signed-off-by: Cornelia Huck

Machine checks on s390 are always enabled (except in the machine check handler
itself). Therefore use lockdep_off()/on() in the machine check handler to
avoid deadlocks in the lock validator.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

As pointed out by Paulo Marques MAX_IPD_TIME is by
a factor of ten too small. Since this means that we allow ten times more
IPDs in the intended time frame this could result in a cpu check stop of a
physical cpu.Cc: Martin Schwidefsky

In case of an instruction processing damage (IPD) machine check in kernel mode
the resulting action is always to stop the kernel. This is not necessarily
the best solution since a retry of the failing instruction might succeed. Add
logic to retry the instruction if no more than 30 instruction processing
damage checks occured in the last 5 minutes.Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

Sanitize some s390 Kconfig options. We have ARCH_S390, ARCH_S390X,
ARCH_S390_31, 64BIT, S390_SUPPORT and COMPAT. Replace these 6 options by

Add support for multiple subchannel sets. Works with arbitrary devices in
subchannel set 1 and is transparent to device drivers. Although currently

The new machine check handler still has a few bugs.
1) The system entry time has to be stored in the machine check handler,
2) the machine check return psw may not be stored at the usual place
because it might overwrite the return psw of the interrupted context,3) the return address for the call to s390_handle_mcck in the i/o interrupt
handler is not correct,4) the system call cleanup has to take the different save area of the
machine check handler into account,5) the machine check handler may not call UPDATE_VTIME before
CREATE_STACK_FRAME, and6) the io leave path needs a critical section cleanup to make sure that the
TIF_MCCK_PENDING bit is really checked before switching back to user space.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!
