This fixes the same problem as described in the patch "nohz: fix
printk_needs_cpu() return value on offline cpus" for the arch_needs_cpu()
primitive:
arch_needs_cpu() may return 1 if called on offline cpus. When a cpu gets
offlined it schedules the idle process which, before killing its own cpu,
will call tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick().
That function in turn will call arch_needs_cpu() in order to check if the
local tick can be disabled. On offline cpus this function should naturally
return 0 since regardless if the tick gets disabled or not the cpu will be
dead short after. That is besides the fact that __cpu_disable() should already
have made sure that no interrupts on the offlined cpu will be delivered anyway.
In this case it prevents tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick() to call
select_nohz_load_balancer(). No idea if that really is a problem. However what
made me debug this is that on 2.6.32 the function get_nohz_load_balancer() is
used within __mod_timer() to select a cpu on which a timer gets enqueued.
If arch_needs_cpu() returns 1 then the nohz_load_balancer cpu doesn't get
updated when a cpu gets offlined. It may contain the cpu number of an offline
cpu. In turn timers get enqueued on an offline cpu and not very surprisingly
they never expire and cause system hangs.
This has been observed 2.6.32 kernels. On current kernels __mod_timer() uses
get_nohz_timer_target() which doesn't have that problem. However there might
be other problems because of the too early exit tick_nohz_stop_sched_tick()
in case a cpu goes offline.
This specific bug was indrocuded with 3c5d92a0 "nohz: Introduce
arch_needs_cpu".
In this case a cpu hotplug notifier is used to fix the issue in order to keep
the normal/fast path small. All we need to do is to clear the condition that
makes arch_needs_cpu() return 1 since it is just a performance improvement
which is supposed to keep the local tick running for a short period if a cpu
goes idle. Nothing special needs to be done except for clearing the condition.

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.

Fix kprobes after git commit 1e54622e0403891b10f2105663e0f9dd595a1f17
broke it. The kprobe_handler is now called with interrupts in the state
at the time of the breakpoint. The single step of the replaced instruction
is done with interrupts off which makes it necessary to enable and disable
the interupts in the kprobes code.

system time values. The conversion from cputime to the taskstats values
uses the cputime_to_msecs primitive which effectively limits the

architectures that have better, more precise CPU time values. Remove
cputime_to_msecs primitive because there are no more users left.

Export the cpu configuration topology via sysinfo. Two new lines are
introduced:
CPU Topology HW: 0 0 0 4 6 4
CPU Topology SW: 0 0 0 0 4 24
The HW line describes the cpu topology nesting levels when the maximum
nesting level is used to get the corresponding SYSIB.
The SW line describes what Linux is actually using. In this case it
supports only two levels (CONFIG_SCHED_BOOK off) and therefore the
hardware folded the two lower levels in the SYSIB response block.

Up to now print_cpu_info() uses the cpu address stored in it's local
lowcore to print a message to the console. The cpu address in the
lowcore is (in this case) however not the physical cpu address of the
local cpu. It's the address of the cpu that issued the sigp restart
which started the local cpu.
Fix this by using the store cpu address instruction instead.
