The current tlb flushing code for page table entries violates the
s390 architecture in a small detail. The relevant section from the
principles of operation (SA22-7832-02 page 3-47):
"A valid table entry must not be changed while it is attached
to any CPU and may be used for translation by that CPU except to
(1) invalidate the entry by using INVALIDATE PAGE TABLE ENTRY or
INVALIDATE DAT TABLE ENTRY, (2) alter bits 56-63 of a page-table
entry, or (3) make a change by means of a COMPARE AND SWAP AND
PURGE instruction that purges the TLB."
That means if one thread of a multithreaded applciation uses a vma
while another thread does an unmap on it, the page table entries of
that vma needs to get removed with IPTE, IDTE or CSP. In some strange
and rare situations a cpu could check-stop (die) because a entry has
been pushed out of the TLB that is still needed to complete a
(milli-coded) instruction. I've never seen it happen with the current
code on any of the supported machines, so right now this is a
theoretical problem. But I want to fix it nevertheless, to avoid
headaches in the futures.
To get this implemented correctly without changing common code the
primitives ptep_get_and_clear, ptep_get_and_clear_full and
ptep_set_wrprotect need to use the IPTE instruction to invalidate the
pte before the new pte value gets stored. If IPTE is always used for
the three primitives three important operations will have a performace
hit: fork, mprotect and exit_mmap. Time for some workarounds:
* 1: ptep_get_and_clear_full is used in unmap_vmas to remove page
tables entries in a batched tlb gather operation. If the mmu_gather
context passed to unmap_vmas has been started with full_mm_flush==1
or if only one cpu is online or if the only user of a mm_struct is the
current process then the fullmm indication in the mmu_gather context is
set to one. All TLBs for mm_struct are flushed by the tlb_gather_mmu
call. No new TLBs can be created while the unmap is in progress. In
this case ptep_get_and_clear_full clears the ptes with a simple store.
* 2: ptep_get_and_clear is used in change_protection to clear the
ptes from the page tables before they are reentered with the new
access flags. At the end of the update flush_tlb_range clears the
remaining TLBs. In general the ptep_get_and_clear has to issue IPTE
for each pte and flush_tlb_range is a nop. But if there is only one
user of the mm_struct then ptep_get_and_clear uses simple stores
to do the update and flush_tlb_range will flush the TLBs.
* 3: Similar to 2, ptep_set_wrprotect is used in copy_page_range
for a fork to make all ptes of a cow mapping read-only. At the end of
of copy_page_range dup_mmap will flush the TLBs with a call to
flush_tlb_mm. Check for mm->mm_users and if there is only one user
avoid using IPTE in ptep_set_wrprotect and let flush_tlb_mm clear the
TLBs.
Overall for single threaded programs the tlb flush code now performs
better, for multi threaded programs it is slightly worse. In particular
exit_mmap() now does a single IDTE for the mm and then just frees every
page cache reference and every page table page directly without a delay
over the mmu_gather structure.

Currently the ccw method is used to ipl the DASD dump record under LPAR.
This mechanism is not reliable, which can cause dump failures. This fix

Add two new sysfs entries per cpu: idle_count and idle_time.
idle_count contains the number of times a cpu went into idle state.
idle_time contains the time a cpu spent in idle state in microseconds.
This can be used e.g. by powertop to tell how often idle state is
entered and left.

New kind of audit rule predicates: "object is visible in given subtree".
The part that can be sanely implemented, that is. Limitations:
* if you have hardlink from outside of tree, you'd better watch
it too (or just watch the object itself, obviously)
* if you mount something under a watched tree, tell audit
that new chunk should be added to watched subtrees
* if you umount something in a watched tree and it's still mounted
elsewhere, you will get matches on events happening there. New command
tells audit to recalculate the trees, trimming such sources of false
positives.
Note that it's _not_ about path - if something mounted in several places
(multiple mount, bindings, different namespaces, etc.), the match does
_not_ depend on which one we are using for access.

This reverts commit a5bf3d891a.
David Brownell notes that this causes a regression visible in the
drivers/usb/gadget Kconfig file:
"That Kconfig hasn't changed (other than adding new drivers), and it's
worked that way for several years now ... so the issue seems to be
changes in menuconfig/kconfig/etc semantics.
The issue is that when USB_GADGET=m, it's no longer possible to
configure peripheral controller drivers as modules ... the
controller drivers can now only be configured for static linkage.
It should be making a choice of one of the controller drivers which
could work on the target system, and allow that driver to be linked
either as a module (ok iff USB_GADGET=m) or statically."
Reverting this commit resolves the problem, and also fixes a second
problem that David noticed: various dependent options couldn't be enabled.
