85c0f90978 irq: introduce nr_irqs
at this point nr_irqs is equal NR_IRQS

convert a few easy users from NR_IRQS to dynamic nr_irqs.

v2: according to Eric, we need to take care of arch without generic_hardirqs

a447c09324 vfs: Use const for kernel parser table
This is a much better version of a previous patch to make the parser
tables constant. Rather than changing the typedef, we put the "const" in
all the various places where its required, allowing the __initconst
exception for nfsroot which was the cause of the previous trouble.

This was posted for review some time ago and I believe its been in -mm
since then.

15e86b0c75 [S390] introduce dirty bit for kvm live migration
This patch defines a dirty bit in the PGSTE that can be used to implement
dirty pages logging for KVM's live migration. The bit is set in the
ptep_rcp_copy function, which is called to save dirty and referenced information
from the storage key in the PGSTE. The bit can be tested and reset by KVM using
the kvm_s390_test_and_clear_page_dirty function that is introduced by this patch.

d3d238c774 [S390] nohz: Fix __udelay.
This fixes a regression that came with 934b2857cc
("[S390] nohz/sclp: disable timer on synchronous waits.").
If udelay() gets called from a disabled context it sets the clock comparator
to a value where it expects the next interrupt. When the interrupt happens
the clock comparator gets not reset and therefore the interrupt condition
doesn't get cleared. The result is an endless timer interrupt loop.

In addition this patch fixes also the following:

rcutorture reveals that our __udelay implementation is still buggy,
since it might schedule tasklets, but prevents their execution:

NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 42
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 142
NOHZ: local_softirq_pending 02

To fix this we make sure that only the clock comparator interrupt
is enabled when the enabled wait psw is loaded.
Also no code gets called anymore which might schedule tasklets.

3d6e48f433 [S390] CVE-2008-1514: prevent ptrace padding area read/write in 31-bit mode
When running a 31-bit ptrace, on either an s390 or s390x kernel,
reads and writes into a padding area in struct user_regs_struct32
will result in a kernel panic.

This is also known as CVE-2008-1514.

Test case available here:
http://sources.redhat.com/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/~checkout~/tests/ptrace-tests/tests/user-area-padding.c?cvsroot=systemtap

Steps to reproduce:
1) wget the above
2) gcc -o user-area-padding-31bit user-area-padding.c -Wall -ggdb2 -D_GNU_SOURCE -m31
3) ./user-area-padding-31bit
<panic>

Test status
-----------
Without patch, both s390 and s390x kernels panic. With patch, the test case,
as well as the gdb testsuite, pass without incident, padding area reads
returning zero, writes ignored.

Nb: original version returned -EINVAL on write attempts, which broke the
gdb test and made the test case slightly unhappy, Jan Kratochvil suggested
the change to return 0 on write attempts.

e545a6140b kernel/cpu.c: create a CPU_STARTING cpu_chain notifier
Right now, there is no notifier that is called on a new cpu, before the new
cpu begins processing interrupts/softirqs.
Various kernel function would need that notification, e.g. kvm works around
by calling smp_call_function_single(), rcu polls cpu_online_map.

The patch adds a CPU_STARTING notification. It also adds a helper function
that sends the message to all cpu_chain handlers.

Tested on x86-64.
All other archs are untested. Especially on sparc, I'm not sure if I got
it right.

152382af40 [S390] fix ext2_find_next_bit
ext4 does not work on s390 because ext2_find_next_bit is broken. Fortunately
this function is only used by ext4. The function uses ffs which does not work
analog to ffz. The result of ffs has an offset of 1 which is not taken into
account. To fix this use the low level __ffs_word function directly instead
of the ill defined ffs.

In addition the patch improves find_next_zero_bit and ext2_find_next_zero_bit
by passing the bit offset into __ffz_word instead of adding it after the
function call returned.

3cd612998f KVM: s390: Fix program check on interrupt delivery handling
The current interrupt handling on s390 misbehaves on an error case. On s390
each cpu has the prefix area (lowcore) for interrupt delivery. This memory
must always be available. If we fail to access the prefix area for a guest
on interrupt delivery the configuration is completely unusable. There is no
point in sending another program interrupt to an inaccessible lowcore.
Furthermore, we should not bug the host kernel, because this can be triggered
by userspace. I think the guest kernel itself can not trigger the problem, as
SET PREFIX and SIGNAL PROCESSOR SET PREFIX both check that the memory is
available and sane. As this is a userspace bug (e.g. setting the wrong guest
offset, unmapping guest memory) we should kill the userspace process instead
of BUGing the host kernel.
In the long term we probably should notify the userspace process about this
problem.

c55281dee0 s390: use generic show_mem()
Remove arch-specific show_mem() in favor of the generic version.

This also removes the following redundant information display:

	- pages in swapcache, printed by show_swap_cache_info()

where show_mem() calls show_free_areas(), which calls
show_swap_cache_info().

Now that it is safe to use get_online_cpus() we can revert

	[S390] cpu topology: Fix possible deadlock.
	commit: fd781fa25c

and call arch_reinit_sched_domains() directly from topology_work_fn().

ef53d9c5e4 kprobes: improve kretprobe scalability with hashed locking
Currently list of kretprobe instances are stored in kretprobe object (as
used_instances,free_instances) and in kretprobe hash table.  We have one
global kretprobe lock to serialise the access to these lists.  This causes
only one kretprobe handler to execute at a time.  Hence affects system
performance, particularly on SMP systems and when return probe is set on
lot of functions (like on all systemcalls).

Solution proposed here gives fine-grain locks that performs better on SMP
system compared to present kretprobe implementation.

Solution:

 1) Instead of having one global lock to protect kretprobe instances
    present in kretprobe object and kretprobe hash table.  We will have
    two locks, one lock for protecting kretprobe hash table and another
    lock for kretporbe object.

 2) We hold lock present in kretprobe object while we modify kretprobe
    instance in kretprobe object and we hold per-hash-list lock while
    modifying kretprobe instances present in that hash list.  To prevent
    deadlock, we never grab a per-hash-list lock while holding a kretprobe
    lock.

 3) We can remove used_instances from struct kretprobe, as we can
    track used instances of kretprobe instances using kretprobe hash
    table.

Time duration for kernel compilation ("make -j 8") on a 8-way ppc64 system
with return probes set on all systemcalls looks like this.

This patch enables virtio_console as the default console on kvm for
s390. We currently use the same notify hack as lguest for early
console output. I will try to address this for lguest and s390 later.

a551643895 hugetlb: modular state for hugetlb page size
The goal of this patchset is to support multiple hugetlb page sizes.  This
is achieved by introducing a new struct hstate structure, which
encapsulates the important hugetlb state and constants (eg.  huge page
size, number of huge pages currently allocated, etc).

The hstate structure is then passed around the code which requires these
fields, they will do the right thing regardless of the exact hstate they
are operating on.

This patch adds the hstate structure, with a single global instance of it
(default_hstate), and does the basic work of converting hugetlb to use the
hstate.

Future patches will add more hstate structures to allow for different
hugetlbfs mounts to have different page sizes.

4a0b2b4dbe sysdev: Pass the attribute to the low level sysdev show/store function
This allow to dynamically generate attributes and share show/store
functions between attributes. Right now most attributes are generated
by special macros and lots of duplicated code. With the attribute
passed it's instead possible to attach some data to the attribute
and then use that in shared low level functions to do different things.

I need this for the dynamically generated bank attributes in the x86
machine check code, but it'll allow some further cleanups.

I converted all users in tree to the new show/store prototype. It's a single
huge patch to avoid unbisectable sections.
