Expose the maximum thread id with /proc/cpuinfo.
With the new line the output looks like this:

vendor_id       : IBM/S390
bogomips per cpu: 20325.00
max thread id   : 1

With this new interface it is possible to always tell the correct
number of cpu threads potentially being used by the kernel.

The cpu field name within /proc/cpuinfo has a conflict with the
powerpc and sparc output where it contains the cpu model name.  So
rename the field name to cpu number which shouldn't generate any
conflicts.

<title>s390/cpuinfo: show dynamic and static cpu mhz</title>

<content type='text'>
Show the dynamic and static cpu mhz of each cpu. Since these values
are per cpu this requires a fundamental extension of the format of
/proc/cpuinfo.

Historically we had only a single line per cpu and a summary at the
top of the file. This format is hardly extendible if we want to add
more per cpu information.

Therefore this patch adds per cpu blocks at the end of /proc/cpuinfo:

cpu             : 0
cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504
cpu Mhz static  : 5504

cpu             : 1
cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504
cpu Mhz static  : 5504

cpu             : 2
cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504
cpu Mhz static  : 5504

cpu             : 3
cpu Mhz dynamic : 5504
cpu Mhz static  : 5504

Right now each block contains only the dynamic and static cpu mhz,
but it can be easily extended like on every other architecture.

This extension is supposed to be compatible with the old format.

arch_mmap_rnd, cpu_have_feature, and arch_randomize_brk are all
defined as globally visible variables.
However the files they are defined in do not include the header files
with the declaration. To avoid a possible mismatch add the missing
include statements so we have proper type checking in place.

Move the get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() to the start and stop
operation of the seqfile ops. This way there is no need to lock cpu
hotplug again and again for each single cpu.

This way we can also skip offline cpus early if we simply use
cpumask_next() within the next operation.

<content type='text'>
This patch exposes the SIE capability (aka virtualization support) via
/proc/cpuinfo -&gt; "features" as "sie".

As we don't want to expose this hwcap via elf, let's add a second,
"internal"/non-elf capability list. The content is simply concatenated
to the existing features when printing /proc/cpuinfo.

We also add the defines to elf.h to keep the hwcap stuff at a common
place.

<title>s390/ftrace: fix crashes when switching tracers / add notrace to cpu_relax()</title>

<id>a9ca8eb7afb4f1c90d8e43092e94c4e86785efbc</id>
<content type='text'>
With git commit 4d92f50249eb ("s390: reintroduce diag 44 calls for
cpu_relax()") I reintroduced a non-trivial cpu_relax() variant on s390.

The difference to the previous variant however is that the new version is
an out-of-line function, which will be traced if function tracing is enabled.

Switching to different tracers includes instruction patching. Therefore this
is done within stop_machine() "context" to prevent that any function tracing
is going on while instructions are being patched.
With the new out-of-line variant of cpu_relax() this is not true anymore,
since cpu_relax() gets called in a busy loop by all waiting cpus within
stop_machine() until function patching is finished.
Therefore cpu_relax() must be marked notrace.

This fixes kernel crashes when frequently switching between "function" and
"function_graph" tracers.

Moving cpu_relax() to a header file again, doesn't work because of header
include order dependencies.
