commit 94c163663fc1dcfc067a5fb3cc1446b9469975ce upstream.

In case a machine supports memory hotplug all active memory increments
present at IPL time have been initialized with a "usecount" of 1.
This is wrong if the memory increment size is larger than the memory
section size of the memory hotplug code. If that is the case the
usecount must be initialized with the number of memory sections that
fit into one memory increment.
Otherwise it is possible to put a memory increment into standby state
even if there are still active sections.
Afterwards addressing exceptions might happen which cause the kernel
to panic.
However even worse, if a memory increment was put into standby state
and afterwards into active state again, it's contents would have been
zeroed, leading to memory corruption.

This was only an issue for machines that support standby memory and
have at least 256GB memory.

This is broken since commit fdb1bb15 "[S390] sclp/memory hotplug: fix
initial usecount of increments".

commit 048cd4e51d24ebf7f3552226d03c769d6ad91658 upstream.

The new is_compat_task() define for the !COMPAT case in
include/linux/compat.h conflicts with a similar define in
arch/s390/include/asm/compat.h.

This is the minimal patch which fixes the build issues.

Fix several compile errors on s390 caused by splitting module.h.

Some include additions [e.g. qdio_setup.c, zfcp_qdio.c] are in
anticipation of pending changes queued for s390 that increase
the modular use footprint.

[PG: added additional obvious changes since Heiko's original patch]

Split out addressing mode bits from PSW_BASE_BITS, rename PSW_BASE_BITS
to PSW_MASK_BASE, get rid of psw_user32_bits, remove unused function

Change psw_kernel_bits / psw_user_bits to contain only the bits that

Current IRQ statistics support does not show detail counts for I/O
interrupts which are processed internally only. The result is a
summation count which is way off such as this one:

           CPU0       CPU1       CPU2
