Linus Torvalds 47477c84b8 s390 updates for 6.2 merge window
- Factor out handle_write() function and simplify 3215 console
   write operation.
 
 - When 3170 terminal emulator is connected to the 3215 console
   driver the boot time could be very long due to limited buffer
   space or missing operator input. Add con3215_drop command line
   parameter and con3215_drop sysfs attribute file to instruct
   the kernel drop console data when such conditions are met.
 
 - Fix white space errors in 3215 console driver.
 
 - Move enum paiext_mode definition to a header file and rename
   it to paievt_mode to indicate this is now used for several
   events. Rename PAI_MODE_COUNTER to PAI_MODE_COUNTING to make
   consistent with PAI_MODE_SAMPLING.
 
 - Simplify the logic of PMU pai_crypto mapped buffer reference
   counter and make it consistent with PMU pai_ext.
 
 - Rename PMU pai_crypto mapped buffer structure member users
   to active_events to make it consistent with PMU pai_ext.
 
 - Enable HUGETLB_PAGE_OPTIMIZE_VMEMMAP configuration option.
   This results in saving of 12K per 1M hugetlb page (~1.2%)
   and 32764K per 2G hugetlb page (~1.6%).
 
 - Use generic serial.h, bugs.h, shmparam.h and vga.h header
   files and scrap s390-specific versions.
 
 - The generic percpu setup code does not expect the s390-like
   implementation and emits a warning. To get rid of that warning
   and provide sane CPU-to-node and CPU-to-CPU distance mappings
   implementat a minimal version of setup_per_cpu_areas().
 
 - Use kstrtobool() instead of strtobool() for re-IPL sysfs device
   attributes.
 
 - Avoid unnecessary lookup of a pointer to MSI descriptor when
   setting IRQ affinity for a PCI device.
 
 - Get rid of "an incompatible function type cast" warning by
   changing debug_sprintf_format_fn() function prototype so it
   matches the debug_format_proc_t function type.
 
 - Remove unused info_blk_hdr__pcpus() and get_page_state()
   functions.
 
 - Get rid of clang "unused unused insn cache ops function"
   warning by moving s390_insn definition to a private header.
 
 - Get rid of clang "unused function" warning by making function
   raw3270_state_final() only available if CONFIG_TN3270_CONSOLE
   is enabled.
 
 - Use kstrobool() to parse sclp_con_drop parameter to make it
   identical to the con3215_drop parameter and allow passing
   values like "yes" and "true".
 
 - Use sysfs_emit() for all SCLP sysfs show functions, which is
   the current standard way to generate output strings.
 
 - Make SCLP con_drop sysfs attribute also writable and allow to
   change its value during runtime. This makes SCLP console drop
   handling consistent with the 3215 device driver.
 
 - Virtual and physical addresses are indentical on s390. However,
   there is still a confusion when pointers are directly casted to
   physical addresses or vice versa. Use correct address converters
   virt_to_phys() and phys_to_virt() for s390 channel IO drivers.
 
 - Support for power managemant has been removed from s390 since
   quite some time. Remove unused power managemant code from the
   appldata device driver.
 
 - Allow memory tools like KASAN see memory accesses from the
   checksum code. Switch to GENERIC_CSUM if KASAN is enabled,
   just like x86 does.
 
 - Add support of ECKD DASDs disks so it could be used as boot
   and dump devices.
 
 - Follow checkpatch recommendations and use octal values instead
   of S_IRUGO and S_IWUSR for dump device attributes in sysfs.
 
 - Changes to vx-insn.h do not cause a recompile of C files that
   use asm(".include \"asm/vx-insn.h\"\n") magic to access vector
   instruction macros from inline assemblies. Add wrapper include
   header file to avoid this problem.
 
 - Use vector instruction macros instead of byte patterns to
   increase register validation routine readability.
 
 - The current machine check register validation handling does not
   take into account various scenarios and might lead to killing a
   wrong user process or potentially ignore corrupted FPU registers.
   Simplify logic of the machine check handler and stop the whole
   machine if the previous context was kerenel mode. If the previous
   context was user mode, kill the current task.
 
 - Introduce sclp_emergency_printk() function which can be used to
   emit a message in emergency cases. It is supposed to be used in
   cases where regular console device drivers may not work anymore,
   e.g. unrecoverable machine checks.
 
   Keep the early Service-Call Control Block so it can also be used
   after initdata has been freed to allow sclp_emergency_printk()
   implementation.
 
 - In case a system will be stopped because of an unrecoverable
   machine check error print the machine check interruption code
   to give a hint of what went wrong.
 
 - Move storage error checking from the assembly entry code to C
   in order to simplify machine check handling. Enter the handler
   with DAT turned on, which simplifies the entry code even more.
 
 - The machine check extended save areas are allocated using
   a private "nmi_save_areas" slab cache which guarantees a
   required power-of-two alignment. Get rid of that cache in
   favour of kmalloc().
