<id>55a5542a546238354d1f209f794414168cf8c71d</id>
<content type='text'>
The resume code checks if the resume cpu is the same as the suspend cpu.
If not, and if it is also not possible to switch to the suspend cpu, an
error message should be printed and the resume process should be stopped
by loading a disabled wait psw.

The current logic is broken in multiple ways, the message is never printed,
and the disabled wait psw never loaded because the kernel panics before that:
- sam31 and SIGP_SET_ARCHITECTURE to ESA mode is wrong, this will break
  on the first 64bit instruction in sclp_early_printk().
- The init stack should be used, but the stack pointer is not set up correctly
  (missing aghi %r15,-STACK_FRAME_OVERHEAD).
- __sclp_early_printk() checks the sclp_init_state. If it is not
  sclp_init_state_uninitialized, it simply returns w/o printing anything.
  In the resumed kernel however, sclp_init_state will never be uninitialized.

This patch fixes those issues by removing the sam31/ESA logic, adding a
correct init stack pointer, and also introducing sclp_early_printk_force()
to allow using sclp_early_printk() even when sclp_init_state is not
uninitialized.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:

 - A couple of patches for the zcrypt driver:
     + Add two masks to determine which AP cards and queues are host
       devices, this will be useful for KVM AP device passthrough
     + Add-on patch to improve the parsing of the new apmask and aqmask
     + Some code beautification

 - Second try to reenable the GCC plugins, the first patch set had a
   patch to do this but the merge somehow missed this

 - Remove the s390 specific GCC version check and use the generic one

 - Three patches for kdump, two bug fixes and one cleanup

 - Three patches for the PCI layer, one bug fix and two cleanups

* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux:
  s390: remove gcc version check (4.3 or newer)
  s390/zcrypt: hex string mask improvements for apmask and aqmask.
  s390/zcrypt: AP bus support for alternate driver(s)
  s390/zcrypt: code beautify
  s390/zcrypt: switch return type to bool for ap_instructions_available()

<title>s390: ebcdic: convert comments to UTF-8</title>

<content type='text'>
The ebcdic.c file contains tables for converting between ebcdic and PC
codepage 437.  I could however not identify which encoding was used for
the comments.  This seems to be some variation of ISO_8859-1 with
non-UTF-8 escape characters.

I have converted this to UTF-8 by manually removing the escape
characters and then running it through recode, to get the same encoding
that we use for the rest of the kernel.

Pull core signal handling updates from Eric Biederman:
 "It was observed that a periodic timer in combination with a
  sufficiently expensive fork could prevent fork from every completing.
  This contains the changes to remove the need for that restart.

  This set of changes is split into several parts:

   - The first part makes PIDTYPE_TGID a proper pid type instead
     something only for very special cases. The part starts using
     PIDTYPE_TGID enough so that in __send_signal where signals are
     actually delivered we know if the signal is being sent to a a group
     of processes or just a single process.

   - With that prep work out of the way the logic in fork is modified so
     that fork logically makes signals received while it is running
     appear to be received after the fork completes"

raised the minimum gcc version to 4.6. Therefore remove the s390 specific

Pull tracing updates from Steven Rostedt:

 - Restructure of lockdep and latency tracers

   This is the biggest change. Joel Fernandes restructured the hooks
   from irqs and preemption disabling and enabling. He got rid of a lot
   of the preprocessor #ifdef mess that they caused.

   He turned both lockdep and the latency tracers to use trace events
   inserted in the preempt/irqs disabling paths. But unfortunately,
   these started to cause issues in corner cases. Thus, parts of the
   code was reverted back to where lockdep and the latency tracers just
   get called directly (without using the trace events). But because the
   original change cleaned up the code very nicely we kept that, as well
   as the trace events for preempt and irqs disabling, but they are
   limited to not being called in NMIs.

 - Have trace events use SRCU for "rcu idle" calls. This was required
   for the preempt/irqs off trace events. But it also had to not allow
   them to be called in NMI context. Waiting till Paul makes an NMI safe
   SRCU API.

 - New notrace SRCU API to allow trace events to use SRCU.

 - Addition of mcount-nop option support

 - SPDX headers replacing GPL templates.

 - Various other fixes and clean ups.

 - Some fixes are marked for stable, but were not fully tested before
   the merge window opened.

For this function there are only two users, when 1) the elfcorehdr and 2)
the vmcoreinfo is allocated. However a missing vmcoreinfo is not critical
for kdump. So panicking when it cannot be allocated is not required.

Remove kzalloc_panic and adjust its callers accordingly.

The vmcoreinfo of a crashed system is potentially fragmented. Thus the
crash kernel has an intermediate step where the vmcoreinfo is copied into a
temporary, continuous buffer in the crash kernel memory. This temporary
buffer is never freed. Free it now to prevent the memleak.

While at it replace all occurrences of "VMCOREINFO" by its corresponding
macro to prevent potential renaming issues.

<title>s390/kdump: Make elfcorehdr size calculation ABI compliant</title>

There are two ways to pass the vmcoreinfo to the crash kernel 1) via the
os_info mechanism and 2) via the lowcore-&gt;vmcore_info field. In the Linux
kernel only the second way is used. However, the first way is ABI for
stand-alone kdump. So other OSes use it to pass additional debug info. Make
the elfcorehdr size calculation aware of both possible ways.

<title>s390/ftrace: Add -mfentry and -mnop-mcount support</title>

Utilize -mfentry and -mnop-mcount gcc options together with
-mrecord-mcount to get compiler generated calls to the profiling functions
as nops which are compatible with current -mhotpatch=0,3 approach.  At the
same time -mrecord-mcount enables __mcount_loc section generation by
the compiler which allows to avoid using scripts/recordmcount.pl script.
