The z14 machine introduces new mode of the next-instruction-access-intent
NIAI instruction. With NIAI-8 it is possible to pin a cache-line on a
CPU for a small amount of time, NIAI-7 releases the cache-line again.
Finally NIAI-4 can be used to prevent the CPU to speculatively access
memory beyond the compare-and-swap instruction to get the lock.
Use these instruction in the spinlock code.

The CAD instruction never worked quite as expected for the spinlock
code. It has been disabled by default with git commit 61b0b01686,
if the "cad" kernel parameter is specified it is enabled for both user
space and the spinlock code. Leave the option to enable the instruction
for user space but remove it from the spinlock code.

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each change instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed. An instance
where module_param was used without moduleparam.h was also fixed,
as well as implicit use of ptrace.h and string.h headers.

arch_spin_lock_wait_flags() checks if a spinlock is not held before
trying a compare and swap instruction. If the lock is unlocked it
tries the compare and swap instruction, however if a different cpu
grabbed the lock in the meantime the instruction will fail as
expected.
Subsequently the arch_spin_lock_wait_flags() incorrectly tries to
figure out if the cpu that holds the lock is running. However it is
using the wrong cpu number for this (-1) and then will also yield the
current cpu to the wrong cpu.
Fix this by adding a missing continue statement.

It does not make sense to try to relinquish the time slice with diag 0x9c
to a CPU in a state that does not allow to schedule the CPU. The scenario
where this can happen is a CPU waiting in udelay/mdelay while holding a
spin-lock.
Add a CIF bit to tag a CPU in enabled wait and use it to detect that the
yield of a CPU will not be successful and skip the diagnose call.

The spinlock implementation calls the diagnose 0x9c / 0x44 immediately
if the SIGP sense running reported the target CPU as not running.
The diagnose 0x9c is a hint to the hypervisor to schedule the target
CPU in preference to the source CPU that issued the diagnose. It can
happen that on return from the diagnose the target CPU has not been
scheduled yet, e.g. if the target logical CPU is on another physical
CPU and the hypervisor did not want to migrate the logical CPU.
Avoid the immediate repeat of the diagnose instruction, instead do
the retry loop before the next invocation of diagnose 0x9c.

retry loops. A CPU executing the compare-and-delay instruction stops
until the lock value has changed. This is done to make the locking

In case a lock is contended it is better to do a load-and-test first
before trying to get the lock with compare-and-swap. This helps to avoid
unnecessary cache invalidations of the cacheline for the lock if the
CPU has to wait for the lock. For an uncontended lock doing the
compare-and-swap directly is a bit better, if the CPU does not have the
cacheline in its cache yet the compare-and-swap will get it read-write
immediately while a load-and-test would get it read-only first.
Always to the load-and-test first to avoid the cacheline invalidations
for the contended case outweight the potential read-only to read-write
cacheline upgrade for the uncontended case.

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.

Currently the code tries up to spin_retry times to grab a lock using the cs
instruction. The cs instruction has exclusive access to a memory region
and therefore invalidates the appropiate cache line of all other cpus. If
there is contention on a lock this leads to cache line trashing. This can
be avoided if we first check wether a cs instruction is likely to succeed
before the instruction gets actually executed.

This patch (written by me and also containing many suggestions of Arjan van
de Ven) does a major cleanup of the spinlock code. It does the following
things:
- consolidates and enhances the spinlock/rwlock debugging code
- simplifies the asm/spinlock.h files
- encapsulates the raw spinlock type and moves generic spinlock
features (such as ->break_lock) into the generic code.
- cleans up the spinlock code hierarchy to get rid of the spaghetti.
Most notably there's now only a single variant of the debugging code,
located in lib/spinlock_debug.c. (previously we had one SMP debugging
variant per architecture, plus a separate generic one for UP builds)
Also, i've enhanced the rwlock debugging facility, it will now track
write-owners. There is new spinlock-owner/CPU-tracking on SMP builds too.
All locks have lockup detection now, which will work for both soft and hard
spin/rwlock lockups.
The arch-level include files now only contain the minimally necessary
subset of the spinlock code - all the rest that can be generalized now
lives in the generic headers:
include/asm-i386/spinlock_types.h | 16
include/asm-x86_64/spinlock_types.h | 16
I have also split up the various spinlock variants into separate files,
making it easier to see which does what. The new layout is:
SMP | UP
----------------------------|-----------------------------------
asm/spinlock_types_smp.h | linux/spinlock_types_up.h
linux/spinlock_types.h | linux/spinlock_types.h
asm/spinlock_smp.h | linux/spinlock_up.h
linux/spinlock_api_smp.h | linux/spinlock_api_up.h
linux/spinlock.h | linux/spinlock.h
/*
* here's the role of the various spinlock/rwlock related include files:
*
* on SMP builds:
*
* asm/spinlock_types.h: contains the raw_spinlock_t/raw_rwlock_t and the
* initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:

*
* asm/spinlock.h: contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. lowlevel
* implementations, mostly inline assembly code
*
* (also included on UP-debug builds:)
*
* linux/spinlock_api_smp.h:
* contains the prototypes for the _spin_*() APIs.
*
* linux/spinlock.h: builds the final spin_*() APIs.
*
* on UP builds:
*
* linux/spinlock_type_up.h:
* contains the generic, simplified UP spinlock type.
* (which is an empty structure on non-debug builds)
*
* linux/spinlock_types.h:
* defines the generic type and initializers
*
* linux/spinlock_up.h:
* contains the __raw_spin_*()/etc. version of UP
* builds. (which are NOPs on non-debug, non-preempt
* builds)
*
* (included on UP-non-debug builds:)

Builds 32-bit SMP kernel (not booted or tested). I did not try to build

I converted bit ops atomic_hash lock to raw_spinlock_t. Doing so avoids
some ugly nesting of linux/*.h and asm/*.h files. Those particular locks
are well tested and contained entirely inside arch specific code. I do NOT
expect any new issues to arise with them.
If someone does ever need to use debug/metrics with them, then they will
need to unravel this hairball between spinlocks, atomic ops, and bit ops
that exist only because parisc has exactly one atomic instruction: LDCW
(load and clear word).

retries before a cpu is yielded.
The reason for the spin lock retry is that the diagnose 0x44 that is used to
give up the virtual cpu is quite expensive. For spin locks that are held only
for a short period of time the costs of the diagnoses outweights the savings
for spin locks that are held for a longer timer. The default retry count is
