Michael Holzheu 7b50da53f6 s390/sclp: Consolidate early sclp init calls to sclp_early_detect()
The new function calls the old ones. The sclp_event_mask_early() is removed
and replaced by one invocation of sclp_set_event_mask(0, 0).

Martin Schwidefsky 127c1fefff s390/mm: do not initialize storage keys
With dirty and referenced bits implemented in software it is unnecessary
to initialize the storage key for every page. With this patch not a single
storage key operation is done for a system that does not use KVM.
For KVM set_pte_at/pgste_set_key will do the initialization for the guest
view of the storage key when the mapping for the page is established in
the host.

Heiko Carstens df1bd59c5c s390/mem_detect: limit memory detection loop to "mem=" parameter
The current memory detection loop will detect all present memory of
a machine. This is true even if the user specified the "mem=" parameter
on the kernel command line.
This can be a problem since the memory detection may cause a fully
populated host page table for the guest, even for those parts of the
memory that the guest will never use afterwards.

So fix this and only detect memory up to a user supplied "mem=" limit
if specified.

Heiko Carstens caf757c609 s390/sysinfo,stsi: change return code handling
Change return code handling of the stsi() function:

In case function code 0 was specified the return value is the
current configuration level (already shifted). That way all
the code that actually copied the stsi_0() function can go
away.

Otherwise the return value is 0 (success) or negative to
indicate an error (currently only -EOPNOTSUPP).

Also stsi() is no longer an inline function. The function is
not performance critical, but every caller would generate an
exception table entry for this function.

Heiko Carstens fade4dc491 s390/sysinfo,topology: fix cpu topology maximum nesting detection
The maximum nesting of the cpu topology is evaluated when /proc/sysinfo
is the first time read. This happens without a lock and a concurrent
reader on a different cpu can see and use an invalid intermediate value.
Besides the fact that this race is quite unlikely the worst thing that
could happen is that /proc/sysinfo would contain bogus information about
the machine's cpu topology.
Nevertheless this should be fixed. So move the detection code to the
early machine detection code and since now the value is early available
use it in the topology code as well.

Michael Holzheu 3ab121ab18 [S390] kernel: Add z/VM LGR detection
Currently the following mechanisms are available to move active
Linux on System z instances between machines:
* z/VM 6.2 SSI (Single System Image)
* Suspend/resume
For moving Linux instances in this patch the term LGR (Linux Guest
Relocation) is used. Because such an operation is critical, it
should be detectable from Linux. With this patch for both, a live
system and a kernel dump, the information about LGRs is accessible.
To identify a guest, stsi and stfle data is used. A new function
lgr_info_log() compares the current data (lgr_info_cur) with the
last recorded one (lgr_info_last). In case the two data sets differ,
lgr_info_cur is logged to the "lgr" s390dbf.

The following trigger points call lgr_info_log():
* panic
* die
* kdump
* LGR timer
* PSW restart
* QDIO recovery
* resume

This patch also changes the s390dbf hex_ascii view. Now only printable ASCII
characters are shown.

Michael Holzheu 1fb810576f [S390] Check for NULL termination in command line setup
The current code in setup_boot_command_line() uses a heuristic to
detect an EBCDIC command line. It checks if any of the bytes in
the command line has bit one (0x80) set. In that case it is assumed
that we have an EBCDIC string and the complete command line is
converted.

On s390 there are cases where the boot loader provides a kernel
command line that is NULL terminated, but has random data after
the NULL termination. In that case, setup_boot_command_line()
might misinterpret an ASCII string for an EBCDIC string. A
subsequent string conversion can then damage the ASCII string.

This patch solves the problem by checking for NULL termination.
If no EBCDIC character has been found until the the NULL
termination has been found, we now assume that we have an ASCII
string.

Christian Borntraeger 92e6ecf392 [S390] Fix hypervisor detection for KVM
Currently we use the cpuid (via STIDP instruction) to recognize LPAR,
z/VM and KVM.
The architecture states, that bit 0-7 of STIDP returns all zero, and
if STIDP is executed in a virtual machine, the VM operating system
will replace bits 0-7 with FF.

KVM should not use FE to distinguish z/VM from KVM for interested
guests. The proper way to detect the hypervisor is the STSI (Store
System Information) instruction, which return information about the
hypervisors via function code 3, selector1=2, selector2=2.

This patch changes the detection routine of Linux to use STSI instead
of STIDP. This detection is earlier than bootmem, we have to use a
static buffer. Since STSI expects a 4kb block (4kb aligned) this
patch also changes the init.data alignment for s390. As this section
will be freed during boot, this should be no problem.

Patch is tested with LPAR, z/VM, KVM on LPAR, and KVM under z/VM.

Heiko Carstens 1d030370f0 [S390] Remove P390 support.
Most likely it is broken anyway because of the changes in memory
detection. Since we can't test it and there are probably better ways
that using a P390 card, remove support for it.

Heiko Carstens 23d1742179 [S390] Move memory detection code to own file.
Move memory detection code to own file and also simplify it.
Also add an interface which can be called at any time to get the
current memory layout. This interface is needed by our kernel
internal system dumper.

Hendrik Brueckner a0443fbb46 [S390] Extra Kernel Parameters via VMPARM
Now it is possible to specify additional kernel parameters on the IPL
command line using the IPL PARM option.
If the Linux system is already running, the new reipl sysfs attribute
'parm' can be used to change kernel parameters for the next reboot.
Examples:
  IPL    C PARM dasd=1234 root=/dev/dasda1
  IPL 1234 PARM savesys=mylnxnss
  echo "init=/bin/bash" > /sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/parm

Heiko Carstens 761cdf6aac [S390] initrd vs bss section clearing.
In case the initrd is located within the bss section it will be
overwritten when the section is cleared. To prevent this just move
the initrd right behind the bss section if it starts within the
section.
The current code already moves the initrd if the bootmem allocator
bitmap would overwrite it. With this patch we should be safe against
initrd corruptions.
