Change futex_atomic_op_inuser and futex_atomic_cmpxchg_inatomic
prototypes to use u32 types for the futex as this is the data type the
futex core code uses all over the place.

<title>futex: Sanitize cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API</title>

<id>37a9d912b24f96a0591773e6e6c3642991ae5a70</id>
<content type='text'>
The cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API was funny in that it returned either
the original, user-exposed futex value OR an error code such as -EFAULT.
This was confusing at best, and could be a source of livelocks in places
that retry the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked after trying to fix the issue
by running fault_in_user_writeable().
    
This change makes the cmpxchg_futex_value_locked API more similar to the
get_futex_value_locked one, returning an error code and updating the
original value through a reference argument.

The uaccess functions copy_in_user_std and clear_user_std fail to
switch back from secondary space mode to primary space mode with sacf
in case of an unresolvable page fault. We need to make sure that the
switch back to primary mode is done in all cases, otherwise the code
following the uaccess inline assembly will crash.

Let local_tick_enable/disable() reprogram the clock comparator so the
function names make semantically more sense.
Also that way the functions are more symmetric since normally each
local_tick_enable() call usually would have a subsequent call to
set_clock_comparator() anyway.

<title>[S390] nmi: fix clock comparator revalidation</title>

<content type='text'>
On each machine check all registers are revalidated. The save area for
the clock comparator however only contains the upper most seven bytes
of the former contents, if valid.
Therefore the machine check handler uses a store clock instruction to
get the current time and writes that to the clock comparator register
which in turn will generate an immediate timer interrupt.
However within the lowcore the expected time of the next timer
interrupt is stored. If the interrupt happens before that time the
handler won't be called. In turn the clock comparator won't be
reprogrammed and therefore the interrupt condition stays pending which
causes an interrupt loop until the expected time is reached.

On NOHZ machines this can result in unresponsive machines since the
time of the next expected interrupted can be a couple of days in the
future.

To fix this just revalidate the clock comparator register with the
expected value.
In addition the special handling for udelay must be changed as well.

This patch introduces a new function that checks the running status
of a cpu in a hypervisor. This status is not virtualized, so the check
is only correct if running in an LPAR. On acquiring a spinlock, if the
cpu holding the lock is scheduled by the hypervisor, we do a busy wait
on the lock. If it is not scheduled, we yield over to that cpu.
