 "This tree introduces the X32 binary format and execution mode for x86:
  32-bit data space binaries using 64-bit instructions and 64-bit kernel

  This allows applications whose working set fits into a 32 bits address
  space to make use of 64-bit instructions while using a 32-bit address
  space with shorter pointers, more compressed data structures, etc."

Merge tag 'split-asm_system_h-for-linus-20120328' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/dhowells/linux-asm_system

Pull "Disintegrate and delete asm/system.h" from David Howells:
 "Here are a bunch of patches to disintegrate asm/system.h into a set of
  separate bits to relieve the problem of circular inclusion
  dependencies.

  I've built all the working defconfigs from all the arches that I can
  and made sure that they don't break.

  The reason for these patches is that I recently encountered a circular
  dependency problem that came about when I produced some patches to
  optimise get_order() by rewriting it to use ilog2().

  This uses bitops - and on the SH arch asm/bitops.h drags in
  asm-generic/get_order.h by a circuituous route involving asm/system.h.

  The main difficulty seems to be asm/system.h.  It holds a number of
  low level bits with no/few dependencies that are commonly used (eg.
  memory barriers) and a number of bits with more dependencies that
  aren't used in many places (eg.  switch_to()).

  These patches break asm/system.h up into the following core pieces:

    (1) asm/barrier.h

        Move memory barriers here.  This already done for MIPS and Alpha.

    (2) asm/switch_to.h

        Move switch_to() and related stuff here.

    (3) asm/exec.h

        Move arch_align_stack() here.  Other process execution related bits
        could perhaps go here from asm/processor.h.

    (4) asm/cmpxchg.h

        Move xchg() and cmpxchg() here as they're full word atomic ops and
        frequently used by atomic_xchg() and atomic_cmpxchg().

    (5) asm/bug.h

        Move die() and related bits.

    (6) asm/auxvec.h

        Move AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH here.

  Other arch headers are created as needed on a per-arch basis."

Fixed up some conflicts from other header file cleanups and moving code
around that has happened in the meantime, so David's testing is somewhat
weakened by that.  We'll find out anything that got broken and fix it..

909af768e8 coredump: remove VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag
The motivation for this patchset was that I was looking at a way for a
qemu-kvm process, to exclude the guest memory from its core dump, which
can be quite large.  There are already a number of filter flags in
/proc/<pid>/coredump_filter, however, these allow one to specify 'types'
of kernel memory, not specific address ranges (which is needed in this
case).

Since there are no more vma flags available, the first patch eliminates
the need for the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag.  The flag is used internally by
the kernel to mark vdso and vsyscall pages.  However, it is simple
enough to check if a vma covers a vdso or vsyscall page without the need
for this flag.

The second patch then replaces the 'VM_ALWAYSDUMP' flag with a new
'VM_NODUMP' flag, which can be set by userspace using new madvise flags:
'MADV_DONTDUMP', and unset via 'MADV_DODUMP'.  The core dump filters
continue to work the same as before unless 'MADV_DONTDUMP' is set on the
region.

The qemu code which implements this features is at:

  http://people.redhat.com/~jbaron/qemu-dump/qemu-dump.patch

In my testing the qemu core dump shrunk from 383MB -> 13MB with this
patch.

I also believe that the 'MADV_DONTDUMP' flag might be useful for
security sensitive apps, which might want to select which areas are
dumped.

This patch:

The VM_ALWAYSDUMP flag is currently used by the coredump code to
indicate that a vma is part of a vsyscall or vdso section.  However, we
can determine if a vma is in one these sections by checking it against
the gate_vma and checking for a non-NULL return value from
arch_vma_name().  Thus, freeing a valuable vma bit.

212188a596 [S390] perf: add support for s390x CPU counters
Add a perf PMU to access the CPU-measurement counter facility CPUM CF.
CPUM CF provides multiple counter sets for measuring generic,
problem-state, and crypto activaties.  Also an extended counter set for
the IBM System z10 and IBM z196 mainframes is available.

Counters from the basic and problem-state counter set are mapped to
generic perf hardware events.  Other counters are accessible through
raw events.

For a list of available counter sets and counters, see:

  - The Load-Program-Parameter and the CPU-Measurement Facilities (SA23-2260)
  - The CPU-Measurement Facility Extended Counters Definition for
    z10 and z196 (SA23-2261)

Prepare the measurement facility which is currently only used by oprofile

bit needs to be protected.  The measurement alert definitions are moved

Pull perf events changes for v3.4 from Ingo Molnar:

 - New "hardware based branch profiling" feature both on the kernel and
   the tooling side, on CPUs that support it.  (modern x86 Intel CPUs
   with the 'LBR' hardware feature currently.)

   This new feature is basically a sophisticated 'magnifying glass' for
   branch execution - something that is pretty difficult to extract from
   regular, function histogram centric profiles.

   The simplest mode is activated via 'perf record -b', and the result
   looks like this in perf report:

	$ perf record -b any_call,u -e cycles:u branchy

	$ perf report -b --sort=symbol
	    52.34%  [.] main                   [.] f1
	    24.04%  [.] f1                     [.] f3
	    23.60%  [.] f1                     [.] f2

   This output shows from/to branch columns and shows the highest
   percentage (from,to) jump combinations - i.e.  the most likely taken
   branches in the system.  "branches" can also include function calls
   and any other synchronous and asynchronous transitions of the
   instruction pointer that are not 'next instruction' - such as system
   calls, traps, interrupts, etc.

   This feature comes with (hopefully intuitive) flat ascii and TUI
   support in perf report.

 - Various 'perf annotate' visual improvements for us assembly junkies.
   It will now recognize function calls in the TUI and by hitting enter
   you can follow the call (recursively) and back, amongst other
   improvements.

 - Multiple threads/processes recording support in perf record, perf
   stat, perf top - which is activated via a comma-list of PIDs:

	perf top -p 21483,21485
	perf stat -p 21483,21485 -ddd
	perf record -p 21483,21485

 - Support for per UID views, via the --uid paramter to perf top, perf
   report, etc.  For example 'perf top --uid mingo' will only show the
   tasks that I am running, excluding other users, root, etc.

 - Jump label restructurings and improvements - this includes the
   factoring out of the (hopefully much clearer) include/linux/static_key.h
   generic facility:

	struct static_key key = STATIC_KEY_INIT_FALSE;

	...

	if (static_key_false(&key))
	        do unlikely code
	else
	        do likely code

	...
	static_key_slow_inc();
	...
	static_key_slow_inc();
	...

   The static_key_false() branch will be generated into the code with as
   little impact to the likely code path as possible.  the
   static_key_slow_*() APIs flip the branch via live kernel code patching.

   This facility can now be used more widely within the kernel to
   micro-optimize hot branches whose likelihood matches the static-key
   usage and fast/slow cost patterns.

 - SW function tracer improvements: perf support and filtering support.

 - Various hardenings of the perf.data ABI, to make older perf.data's
   smoother on newer tool versions, to make new features integrate more
   smoothly, to support cross-endian recording/analyzing workflows
   better, etc.

 - Restructuring of the kprobes code, the splitting out of 'optprobes',
   and a corner case bugfix.

 - Allow the tracing of kernel console output (printk).

 - Improvements/fixes to user-space RDPMC support, allowing user-space
   self-profiling code to extract PMU counts without performing any
   system calls, while playing nice with the kernel side.

 - 'perf bench' improvements

 - ... and lots of internal restructurings, cleanups and fixes that made
   these features possible.  And, as usual this list is incomplete as
   there were also lots of other improvements

48b25c43e6 [PATCH v3] ipc: provide generic compat versions of IPC syscalls
When using the "compat" APIs, architectures will generally want to
be able to make direct syscalls to msgsnd(), shmctl(), etc., and
in the kernel we would want them to be handled directly by
compat_sys_xxx() functions, as is true for other compat syscalls.

However, for historical reasons, several of the existing compat IPC
syscalls do not do this.  semctl() expects a pointer to the fourth
argument, instead of the fourth argument itself.  msgsnd(), msgrcv()
and shmat() expect arguments in different order.

This change adds an ARCH_WANT_OLD_COMPAT_IPC config option that can be
set to preserve this behavior for ports that use it (x86, sparc, powerpc,
s390, and mips).  No actual semantics are changed for those architectures,
and there is only a minimal amount of code refactoring in ipc/compat.c.

Newer architectures like tile (and perhaps future architectures such
as arm64 and unicore64) should not select this option, and thus can
avoid having any IPC-specific code at all in their architecture-specific
compat layer.  In the same vein, if this option is not selected, IPC_64
mode is assumed, since that's what the <asm-generic> headers expect.

The workaround code in "tile" for msgsnd() and msgrcv() is removed
with this change; it also fixes the bug that shmat() and semctl() were
not being properly handled.

5fbd036b55 sched: Cleanup cpu_active madness
Stepan found:

CPU0		CPUn

_cpu_up()
  __cpu_up()

		boostrap()
		  notify_cpu_starting()
		  set_cpu_online()
		  while (!cpu_active())
		    cpu_relax()

<PREEMPT-out>

smp_call_function(.wait=1)
  /* we find cpu_online() is true */
  arch_send_call_function_ipi_mask()

  /* wait-forever-more */

<PREEMPT-in>
		  local_irq_enable()

  cpu_notify(CPU_ONLINE)
    sched_cpu_active()
      set_cpu_active()

Now the purpose of cpu_active is mostly with bringing down a cpu, where
we mark it !active to avoid the load-balancer from moving tasks to it
while we tear down the cpu. This is required because we only update the
sched_domain tree after we brought the cpu-down. And this is needed so
that some tasks can still run while we bring it down, we just don't want
new tasks to appear.

On cpu-up however the sched_domain tree doesn't yet include the new cpu,
so its invisible to the load-balancer, regardless of the active state.
So instead of setting the active state after we boot the new cpu (and
consequently having to wait for it before enabling interrupts) set the
cpu active before we set it online and avoid the whole mess.

3ab121ab18 [S390] kernel: Add z/VM LGR detection
Currently the following mechanisms are available to move active
Linux on System z instances between machines:
* z/VM 6.2 SSI (Single System Image)
* Suspend/resume
For moving Linux instances in this patch the term LGR (Linux Guest
Relocation) is used. Because such an operation is critical, it
should be detectable from Linux. With this patch for both, a live
system and a kernel dump, the information about LGRs is accessible.
To identify a guest, stsi and stfle data is used. A new function
lgr_info_log() compares the current data (lgr_info_cur) with the
last recorded one (lgr_info_last). In case the two data sets differ,
lgr_info_cur is logged to the "lgr" s390dbf.

The following trigger points call lgr_info_log():
* panic
* die
* kdump
* LGR timer
* PSW restart
* QDIO recovery
* resume

This patch also changes the s390dbf hex_ascii view. Now only printable ASCII
characters are shown.

The external interrupt handlers have a parameter called ext_int_code.
Besides the name this paramter does not only contain the ext_int_code
but in addition also the "cpu address" (POP) which caused the external
interrupt.
To make the code a bit more obvious pass a struct instead so the called
function can easily distinguish between external interrupt code and
cpu address. The cpu address field however is named "subcode" since
some external interrupt sources do not pass a cpu address but a
different parameter (or none at all).

4c1051e37a [S390] rework idle code
Whenever the cpu loads an enabled wait PSW it will appear as idle to the
underlying host system. The code in default_idle calls vtime_stop_cpu
which does the necessary voodoo to get the cpu time accounting right.
The udelay code just loads an enabled wait PSW. To correct this rework
the vtime_stop_cpu/vtime_start_cpu logic and move the difficult parts
to entry[64].S, vtime_stop_cpu can now be called from anywhere and
vtime_start_cpu is gone. The correction of the cpu time during wakeup
from an enabled wait PSW is done with a critical section in entry[64].S.
As vtime_start_cpu is gone, s390_idle_check can be removed as well.

8b646bd759 [S390] rework smp code
Define struct pcpu and merge some of the NR_CPUS arrays into it, including
__cpu_logical_map, current_set and smp_cpu_state. Split smp related
functions to those operating on physical cpus and the functions operating
on a logical cpu number. Make the functions for physical cpus use a
pointer to a struct pcpu. This hides the knowledge about cpu addresses in
smp.c, entry[64].S and swsusp_asm64.S, thus remove the sigp.h header.

The PSW restart mechanism is used to start secondary cpus, calling a
function on an online cpu, calling a function on the ipl cpu, and for
the nmi signal. Replace the different assembler functions with a
single function restart_int_handler. The new entry point calls a function
whose pointer is stored in the lowcore of the target cpu and it can wait
for the source cpu to stop. This covers all existing use cases.

Overall the code is now simpler and there are ~380 lines less code.

On reboot the guest sends in smp_send_stop() a sigp stop to all CPUs
except for current CPU.  Then the guest switches to the IPL cpu by
sending a restart to the IPL CPU, followed by a sigp stop to the
current cpu. Since restart is handled by userspace it's possible that
the restart is delivered before the old stop.  This means that the IPL
CPU isn't restarted and we have no running CPUs. So let's make sure
that there is no stop action pending when we do the restart.

60b413c924 KVM: s390: provide the prefix register via kvm_run
Add the prefix register to the synced register field in kvm_run.
While we need the prefix register most of the time read-only, this
patch also adds handling for guest dirtying of the prefix register.

b9e5dc8d45 KVM: provide synchronous registers in kvm_run
On some cpus the overhead for virtualization instructions is in the same
range as a system call. Having to call multiple ioctls to get set registers
will make certain userspace handled exits more expensive than necessary.
Lets provide a section in kvm_run that works as a shared save area
for guest registers.
We also provide two 64bit flags fields (architecture specific), that will
specify
1. which parts of these fields are valid.
2. which registers were modified by userspace

Each bit for these flag fields will define a group of registers (like
general purpose) or a single register.

8d26cf7b40 KVM: s390: rework code that sets the prefix
There are several places in the kvm module, which set the prefix register.
Since we need to flush the cpu, lets combine this operation into a helper
function. This helper will also explicitely mask out the unused bits.
