Heiko Carstens a806170e29 [S390] Fix a lot of sparse warnings.
Most noteable part of this commit is the new local header file entry.h
which contains all the function declarations of functions that get only
called from asm code or are arch internal. That way we can avoid extern
declarations in C files.
This is more or less the same that was done for sparc64.

Heiko Carstens ab14de6c37 [S390] Convert memory detection into C code.
Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone.
Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this
function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an
early call to sort_main_extable().

This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup
sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of
head[31|64].S into C code.

Martin Schwidefsky d54853ef8c [S390] ETR support.
This patch adds support for clock synchronization to an external time
reference (ETR). The external time reference sends an oscillator
signal and a synchronization signal every 2^20 microseconds to keep
the TOD clocks of all connected servers in sync. For availability
two ETR units can be connected to a machine. If the clock deviates
for more than the sync-check tolerance all cpus get a machine check
that indicates that the clock is out of sync. For the lovely details
how to get the clock back in sync see the code below.

Michael Holzheu a45e14148f [S390] Fix reboot hang on LPARs
Reboot hangs on LPARs without diag308 support. The reason for this is,
that before the reboot is done, the channel subsystem is shut down.
During the reset on each possible subchannel a "store subchannel" is
done. This operation can end in a program check interruption, if the
specified subchannel set is not implemented by the hardware. During
the reset, currently we do not have a program check handler, which
leads to the described kernel bug. We install now a new program check
handler for the reboot code to fix this problem.

Heiko Carstens 15e9b586e0 [S390] Reset infrastructure for re-IPL.
In case of re-IPL and diag308 doesn't work we have to reset all devices
manually and wait synchronously that each reset finished.
This patch adds the necessary infrastucture and the first exploiter of it.

Subsystems that need to add a function that needs to be called at re-IPL
may register/unregister this function via

struct reset_call {
	struct reset_call *next;
	void (*fn)(void);
};

void register_reset_call(struct reset_call *reset);
void unregister_reset_call(struct reset_call *reset);

When the registered function get called the context is:

- all cpus beside the current one are stopped
- all machine checks and interrupts are disabled
- prefixing is disabled
- a default machine check handler is available for use

The registered functions may not take any locks are sleep.

For the common I/O layer part of this patch:

Introduce a reset_call css_reset that does the following:
- clear all subchannels
- perform a rchp on all channel paths and wait for the resulting
  machine checks
This replaces the calls to clear_all_subchannels() and
cio_reset_channel_paths() for kexec and ccw reipl. reipl_ccw_dev() now
uses reipl_find_schid() to determine the subchannel id for a given
device id.
Also remove cio_reset_channel_paths() and friends since they are not
needed anymore.

Cornelia Huck 7e560814de [S390] path grouping and path verifications fixes.
1. Multipath devices for which SetPGID is not supported are not handled well.
   Use NOP ccws for path verification (sans path grouping) when SetPGID is not
   supported.
2. Check for PGIDs already set with SensePGID on _all_ paths (not just the
   first one) and try to find a common one. Moan if no common PGID can be
   found (and use NOP verification). If no PGIDs have been set, use the css
   global PGID (as before). (Rationale: SetPGID will get a command reject if
   the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
   will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be
   savely ignored by the machine check handler (all other actions create
   unsolicited CRWs).

Michael Holzheu 66a464dbc8 [PATCH] s390: debug feature changes
This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature.
Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before.
Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due
to memory fragmentation.  Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several
subbuffers with pagesize.  Therefore it is now possible to allocate more
memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written.

In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is
implemented.  It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a
new debugfs file instance.  When writing a number into this file, the trace
buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'.

In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files
in the "proc" filesystem.  Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which
should be used for debugging purposes.  This patch moves the debug feature
from procfs to debugfs.

Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use
the debug feature had to be adjusted.

Peter Oberparleiter 0b642ede47 [PATCH] s390: default storage key
Provide an easy way to define a non-zero storage key at compile time.  This is
useful for debugging purposes.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
