Use the sturg instruction instead of the stura instruction. This allows to
modify up to eight bytes in a row instead of only four.
For function tracer enabling and disabling this reduces the time needed to
modify the text sections by 50%, since for each mcount call site six bytes
need to be changed.
Also remove the EXTABLE entries, since calls to this function are not
supposed to fail.

Remove the s390 architecture implementation of probe_kernel_write() and
instead use a new function s390_kernel_write() to modify kernel text and
data everywhere.
The s390 implementation of probe_kernel_write() was potentially broken
since it modified memory in a read-modify-write fashion, which read four
bytes, modified the requested bytes within those four bytes and wrote
the result back.
If two cpus would modify the same four byte area at different locations
within that area, this could lead to corruption.
Right now the only places which called probe_kernel_write() did run within
stop_machine_run. Therefore the scenario can't happen right now, however
that might change at any time.
To fix this rename probe_kernel_write() to s390_kernel_write() which can
have special semantics, like only call it while running within stop_machine().

The xlate_dev_{kmem,mem}_ptr() functions take either a physical address
or a kernel virtual address, so data types should be phys_addr_t and
void *. They both return a kernel virtual address which is only ever
used in calls to copy_{from,to}_user(), so make variables that store it
void * rather than char * for consistency.
Also only define a weak unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function if architectures
haven't overridden them in the asm/io.h header file.

There is no user left, so remove it.
It was also potentially broken, since the function didn't clear destination
memory if copy_from_user() failed. Which would allow for information leaks.

The types 'size_t' and 'unsigned long' have been used randomly for the
uaccess functions. This looks rather confusing.
So let's change all functions to use unsigned long instead and get rid
of size_t in order to have a consistent interface.
The only exception is strncpy_from_user() which uses 'long' since it
may return a signed value (-EFAULT).

This patch introduces the new function memcpy_absolute() that allows to
copy memory using absolute addressing. This means that the prefix swap
does not apply when this function is used.
With this patch also all s390 kernel code that accesses absolute zero
now uses the new memcpy_absolute() function. The old and less generic
copy_to_absolute_zero() function is removed.

Currently dev/mem for s390 provides only real memory access. This means
that the CPU prefix pages are swapped. The prefix swap for real memory
works as follows:
Each CPU owns a prefix register that points to a page aligned memory
location "P". If this CPU accesses the address range [0,0x1fff], it is
translated by the hardware to [P,P+0x1fff]. Accordingly if this CPU
accesses the address range [P,P+0x1fff], it is translated by the hardware
to [0,0x1fff]. Therefore, if [P,P+0x1fff] or [0,0x1fff] is read from
the current /dev/mem device, the incorrectly swapped memory content is
returned.
With this patch the /dev/mem architecture code is modified to provide
absolute memory access. This is done via the arch specific functions
xlate_dev_mem_ptr() and unxlate_dev_mem_ptr(). For swapped pages on
s390 the function xlate_dev_mem_ptr() now returns a new buffer with a
copy of the requested absolute memory. In case the buffer was allocated,
the unxlate_dev_mem_ptr() function frees it after /dev/mem code has
called copy_to_user().

Currently in the memcpy_real() function interrupts are disabled with
__arch_local_irq_stnsm(). In order to notify lockdep that interrupts
are disabled, with this patch local_irq_save() is used instead. The
function __arch_local_irq_stnsm() is still used for switching to
real mode.

With this patch a new S390 shutdown trigger "restart" is added. If under
z/VM "systerm restart" is entered or under the HMC the "PSW restart" button
is pressed, the PSW located at 0 (31 bit) or 0x1a0 (64 bit) bit is loaded.
Now we execute do_restart() that processes the restart action that is
defined under /sys/firmware/shutdown_actions/on_restart. Currently the
following actions are possible: reipl (default), stop, vmcmd, dump, and
dump_reipl.

Fix the IRQ flag handling naming. In linux/irqflags.h under one configuration,
it maps:
local_irq_enable() -> raw_local_irq_enable()
local_irq_disable() -> raw_local_irq_disable()
local_irq_save() -> raw_local_irq_save()
...
and under the other configuration, it maps:
raw_local_irq_enable() -> local_irq_enable()
raw_local_irq_disable() -> local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_save() -> local_irq_save()
...
This is quite confusing. There should be one set of names expected of the
arch, and this should be wrapped to give another set of names that are expected
by users of this facility.
Change this to have the arch provide:
flags = arch_local_save_flags()
flags = arch_local_irq_save()
arch_local_irq_restore(flags)
arch_local_irq_disable()
arch_local_irq_enable()
arch_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
arch_irqs_disabled()
arch_safe_halt()
Then linux/irqflags.h wraps these to provide:
raw_local_save_flags(flags)
raw_local_irq_save(flags)
raw_local_irq_restore(flags)
raw_local_irq_disable()
raw_local_irq_enable()
raw_irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
raw_irqs_disabled()
raw_safe_halt()
with type checking on the flags 'arguments', and then wraps those to provide:
local_save_flags(flags)
local_irq_save(flags)
local_irq_restore(flags)
local_irq_disable()
local_irq_enable()
irqs_disabled_flags(flags)
irqs_disabled()
safe_halt()
with tracing included if enabled.
The arch functions can now all be inline functions rather than some of them
having to be macros.

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.
