commit 8d9047f8b967ce6181fd824ae922978e1b055cc0 upstream.
Free data structures required for runtime instrumentation from
arch_release_task_struct(). This allows to simplify the code a bit,
and also makes the semantics a bit easier: arch_release_task_struct()
is never called from the task that is being removed.
In addition this allows to get rid of exit_thread() in a later patch.

commit d6e646ad7cfa7034d280459b2b2546288f247144 upstream.
For PREEMPT enabled kernels the runtime instrumentation (RI) code
contains a possible use-after-free bug. If a task that makes use of RI
exits, it will execute do_exit() while still enabled for preemption.
That function will call exit_thread_runtime_instr() via
exit_thread(). If exit_thread_runtime_instr() gets preempted after the
RI control block of the task has been freed but before the pointer to
it is set to NULL, then save_ri_cb(), called from switch_to(), will
write to already freed memory.
Avoid this and simply disable preemption while freeing the control
block and setting the pointer to NULL.

The external interrupts for runtime instrumentation buffer-full
and runtime instrumentation halted are unused and have no current
user. Remove the support and ignore the second parameter of the
s390_runtime_instr system call from now on.

Use the new defines for external interruption codes to get rid
of "magic" numbers in the s390 source code. And while we're at it,
also rename the (un-)register_external_interrupt function to
something shorter so that this patch does not exceed the 80
columns all over the place.

Simplify the uaccess code by removing the user_mode=home option.
The kernel will now always run in the home space mode.

Let's not add a function for every external interrupt subclass for
which we need reference counting. Just have two register/unregister
functions which have a subclass parameter:
void irq_subclass_register(enum irq_subclass subclass);
void irq_subclass_unregister(enum irq_subclass subclass);

Now that irq sum accounting for /proc/stat's "intr" line works again we
have the oddity that the sum field (first field) contains only the sum
of the second (external irqs) and third field (I/O interrupts).
The reason for that is that these two fields are already sums of all other
fields. So if we would sum up everything we would count every interrupt
twice.
This is broken since the split interrupt accounting was merged two years
ago: 052ff461c8427629aee887ccc27478fc7373237c "[S390] irq: have detailed
statistics for interrupt types".
To fix this remove the split interrupt fields from /proc/stat's "intr"
line again and only have them in /proc/interrupts.
This restores the old behaviour, seems to be the only sane fix and mimics
a behaviour from other architectures where /proc/interrupts also contains
more than /proc/stat's "intr" line does.

Renaming the globally visible variable "user_mode" to "addressing_mode" in
order to fix a name clash was not a good idea. (Commit 37fe1d73 "s390/mm:
rename user_mode variable to addressing_mode")
Looking at the code after a couple of weeks one thinks: addressing mode of
what?
So rename the variable again. This time to s390_user_mode. Which hopefully
makes more sense.

Allow user-space threads to use runtime instrumentation (RI). To enable RI
for a thread there is a new s390 specific system call, sys_s390_runtime_instr,
that takes as parameter a realtime signal number. If the RI facility is
available the system call sets up a control block for the calling thread with
the appropriate permissions for the thread to modify the control block.
The user-space thread can then use the store and modify RI instructions to
alter the control block and start/stop the instrumentation via RION/RIOFF.
If the user specified program buffer runs full RI triggers an external
interrupt. The external interrupt is translated to a real-time signal that
is delivered to the thread that enabled RI on that CPU. The number of
the real-time signal is the number specified in the RI system call. So,
user-space can select any available real-time signal number in case the
application itself uses real-time signals for other purposes.
The kernel saves the RI control blocks on task switch only if the running
thread was enabled for RI. Therefore, the performance impact on task switch
should be negligible if RI is not used.
RI is only enabled for user-space mode and is disabled for the supervisor
state.
