Git commit 616498813b11ffef "s390: system call path micro optimization"
introduced a regression in regard to system call restarting and inferior
function calls via the ptrace interface. The pointer to the system call
table needs to be loaded in sysc_sigpending if do_signal returns with
TIF_SYSCALl set after it restored a system call context.

Modify the psw_idle waiting logic in entry[64].S to return with
interrupts disabled. This avoids potential issues with udelay
and interrupt loops as interrupts are not reenabled after
clock comparator interrupts.

<title>s390: convert interrupt handling to use generic hardirq</title>

<id>1f44a225777e40fd9a945b09f958052c47494e1e</id>
<content type='text'>
With the introduction of PCI it became apparent that s390 should
convert to generic hardirqs as too many drivers do not have the
correct dependency for GENERIC_HARDIRQS. On the architecture
level s390 does not have irq lines. It has external interrupts,
I/O interrupts and adapter interrupts. This patch hard-codes all
external interrupts as irq #1, all I/O interrupts as irq #2 and
all adapter interrupts as irq #3. The additional information from
the lowcore associated with the interrupt is stored in the
pt_regs of the interrupt frame, where the interrupt handler can
pick it up. For PCI/MSI interrupts the adapter interrupt handler
scans the relevant bit fields and calls generic_handle_irq with
the virtual irq number for the MSI interrupt.

Copy the interrupt parameters from the lowcore to the pt_regs structure
in entry[64].S and reduce the arguments of the low level interrupt handler
to the pt_regs pointer only. In addition move the test-pending-interrupt
loop from do_IRQ to entry[64].S to make sure that interrupt information
is always delivered via pt_regs.

Add a pointer to the system call table to the thread_info structure.
The TIF_31BIT bit is set or cleared by SET_PERSONALITY exactly once
for the lifetime of a process. With the pointer to the correct system
call table in thread_info the system call code in entry64.S path can
drop the check for TIF_31BIT which saves a couple of instructions.

This avoids an unnecessary add instruction on the system call path.

<title>s390: critical section cleanup vs. machine checks</title>

<content type='text'>
The current machine check code uses the registers stored by the machine
in the lowcore at __LC_GPREGS_SAVE_AREA as the registers of the interrupted
context. The registers 0-7 of a user process can get clobbered if a machine
checks interrupts the execution of a critical section in entry[64].S.

The reason is that the critical section cleanup code may need to modify
the PSW and the registers for the previous context to get to the end of a
critical section. If registers 0-7 have to be replaced the relevant copy
will be in the registers, which invalidates the copy in the lowcore. The
machine check handler needs to explicitly store registers 0-7 to the stack.

The current single step code is racy in regard to concurrent delivery
of signals. If a signal is delivered after a PER program check occurred
but before the TIF_PER_TRAP bit has been checked in entry[64].S the code
clears TIF_PER_TRAP and then calls do_signal. This is wrong, if the
instruction completed (or has been suppressed) a SIGTRAP should be
delivered to the debugger in any case. Only if the instruction has been
nullified the SIGTRAP may not be send.

The new logic always sets TIF_PER_TRAP if the program check indicates PER
tracing but removes it again for all program checks that are nullifying.
The effect is that for each change in the PSW address we now get a
single SIGTRAP.
