Pull percpu consistent-ops changes from Tejun Heo:
 "Way back, before the current percpu allocator was implemented, static
  and dynamic percpu memory areas were allocated and handled separately
  and had their own accessors.  The distinction has been gone for many
  years now; however, the now duplicate two sets of accessors remained
  with the pointer based ones - this_cpu_*() - evolving various other
  operations over time.  During the process, we also accumulated other
  inconsistent operations.

  This pull request contains Christoph's patches to clean up the
  duplicate accessor situation.  __get_cpu_var() uses are replaced with
  with this_cpu_ptr() and __this_cpu_ptr() with raw_cpu_ptr().

  Unfortunately, the former sometimes is tricky thanks to C being a bit
  messy with the distinction between lvalues and pointers, which led to
  a rather ugly solution for cpumask_var_t involving the introduction of
  this_cpu_cpumask_var_ptr().

  This converts most of the uses but not all.  Christoph will follow up
  with the remaining conversions in this merge window and hopefully
  remove the obsolete accessors"

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
 "This patch set contains the main portion of the changes for 3.18 in
  regard to the s390 architecture.  It is a bit bigger than usual,
  mainly because of a new driver and the vector extension patches.

  The interesting bits are:
   - Quite a bit of work on the tracing front.  Uprobes is enabled and
     the ftrace code is reworked to get some of the lost performance
     back if CONFIG_FTRACE is enabled.
   - To improve boot time with CONFIG_DEBIG_PAGEALLOC, support for the
     IPTE range facility is added.
   - The rwlock code is re-factored to improve writer fairness and to be
     able to use the interlocked-access instructions.
   - The kernel part for the support of the vector extension is added.
   - The device driver to access the CD/DVD on the HMC is added, this
     will hopefully come in handy to improve the installation process.
   - Add support for control-unit initiated reconfiguration.
   - The crypto device driver is enhanced to enable the additional AP
     domains and to allow the new crypto hardware to be used.
   - Bug fixes"

To make things simpler just remove the 31 bit support which nobody

<title>s390/kdump: add support for vector extension</title>

<content type='text'>
With this patch for kdump the s390 vector registers are stored into the
prepared save areas in the old kernel and into the REGSET_VX_LOW and
REGSET_VX_HIGH ELF notes for /proc/vmcore in the new kernel.

The NT_S390_VXRS_LOW note contains the lower halves of the first 16 vector
registers 0-15. The higher halves are stored in the floating point register
ELF note.  The NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH contains the full vector registers 16-31.

The kernel provides a save area for storing vector register in case of
machine checks. A pointer to this save are is stored in the CPU lowcore
at offset 0x11b0. This save area is also used to save the registers for
kdump. In case of a dumped crashed kdump those areas are used to extract
the registers of the production system.

The vector registers for remote CPUs are stored using the "store additional
status at address" SIGP. For the dump CPU the vector registers are stored
with the VSTM instruction.

With this patch also zfcpdump stores the vector registers.

With this patch for kdump the s390 vector registers are stored into the
prepared save areas in the old kernel and into the REGSET_VX_LOW and
REGSET_VX_HIGH ELF notes for /proc/vmcore in the new kernel.

The NT_S390_VXRS_LOW note contains the lower halves of the first 16 vector
registers 0-15. The higher halves are stored in the floating point register
ELF note.  The NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH contains the full vector registers 16-31.

The kernel provides a save area for storing vector register in case of
machine checks. A pointer to this save are is stored in the CPU lowcore
at offset 0x11b0. This save area is also used to save the registers for
kdump. In case of a dumped crashed kdump those areas are used to extract
the registers of the production system.

The vector registers for remote CPUs are stored using the "store additional
status at address" SIGP. For the dump CPU the vector registers are stored
with the VSTM instruction.

With this patch also zfcpdump stores the vector registers.

The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of
instruction to operate on the vector registers.

The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state
program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the
kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context
switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers.
Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added
to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps.
