With the kernel parameter 'vmalloc=<size>' the size of the vmalloc area

This can be useful for features which make excessive use of vmalloc and

ca8723023f KVM: s390: use hrtimer for clock wakeup from idle - v2
This patch reworks the s390 clock comparator wakeup to hrtimer. The clock
comparator is a per-cpu value that is compared against the TOD clock. If
ckc <= TOD an external interrupt 1004 is triggered. Since the clock comparator
and the TOD clock have a much higher resolution than jiffies we should use
hrtimers to trigger the wakeup. This speeds up guest nanosleep for small
values.

Since hrtimers callbacks run in hard-irq context, I added a tasklet to do
the actual work with enabled interrupts.

2668dab794 KVM: s390: Fix memory slot versus run - v3
This patch fixes an incorrectness in the kvm backend for s390.
In case virtual cpus are being created before the corresponding
memory slot is being registered, we need to update the sie
control blocks for the virtual cpus.

*updates in v3*
In consideration of the s390 memslot constraints locking was changed
to trylock. These locks should never be held, as vcpu's can't run without
the single memslot we just assign when running this code. To ensure this
never deadlocks in case other code changes the code uses trylocks and bail
out if it can't get all locks.

Additionally most of the discussed special conditions for s390 like
only one memslot and no user_alloc are now checked for validity in
kvm_arch_set_memory_region.

e1c805309d [S390] /proc/stat idle field for idle cpus
The cpu idle field in the output of /proc/stat is too small for cpus
that have been idle for more than a tick. Add the architecture hook
arch_idle_time that allows to add the not accounted idle time of a

The s390 implementation of arch_idle_time uses the already existing
s390_idle_data per_cpu variable to find the sleep time of a neighboring
idle cpu.

The cpu_possible_map by default is initialized with all ones in s390.
If the kernel paramert possible_cpus=<x> is passed the cpu_possible_map

However the current code just sets the x bits without clearing the NR_CPUS

36cd3c9f92 mutex: have non-spinning mutexes on s390 by default
Impact: performance regression fix for s390

The adaptive spinning mutexes will not always do what one would expect on
virtualized architectures like s390. Especially the cpu_relax() loop in
mutex_spin_on_owner might hurt if the mutex holding cpu has been scheduled
away by the hypervisor.

We would end up in a cpu_relax() loop when there is no chance that the
state of the mutex changes until the target cpu has been scheduled again by
the hypervisor.

For that reason we should change the default behaviour to no-spin on s390.

We do have an instruction which allows to yield the current cpu in favour of
a different target cpu. Also we have an instruction which allows us to figure
out if the target cpu is physically backed.

However we need to do some performance tests until we can come up with
a solution that will do the right thing on s390.

6a11f75b6a generic debug pagealloc
CONFIG_DEBUG_PAGEALLOC is now supported by x86, powerpc, sparc64, and
s390.  This patch implements it for the rest of the architectures by
filling the pages with poison byte patterns after free_pages() and
verifying the poison patterns before alloc_pages().

This generic one cannot detect invalid page accesses immediately but
invalid read access may cause invalid dereference by poisoned memory and
invalid write access can be detected after a long delay.

47593bfa10 [S390] cio: introduce notifier for boxed state
If a ccw device did not respond in time during internal io, we set it
into boxed state. With this patch we have the following behaviour:
 * the ccw driver will get a notification if the device was online and
   goes into the boxed state
 * if the device was disconnected and got boxed nothing special is to be
   done (it will be handled in reprobing later)
 * if the device got boxed while initial sensing it will be unregistered

2b1c6bd77d generic compat_sys_ustat
Due to a different size of ino_t ustat needs a compat handler, but
currently only x86 and mips provide one.  Add a generic compat_sys_ustat
and switch all architectures over to it.  Instead of doing various
user copy hacks compat_sys_ustat just reimplements sys_ustat as
it's trivial.  This was suggested by Arnd Bergmann.

Found by Eric Sandeen when running xfstests/017 on ppc64, which causes
stack smashing warnings on RHEL/Fedora due to the too large amount of
data writen by the syscall.
