The s390 bpf jit compiler emits the signed divide instructions "dr" and "d"
for unsigned divisions.
This can cause problems: the dividend will be zero extended to a 64 bit value
and the divisor is the 32 bit signed value as specified A or X accumulator,
even though A and X are supposed to be treated as unsigned values.
The divide instrunctions will generate an exception if the result cannot be
expressed with a 32 bit signed value.
This is the case if e.g. the dividend is 0xffffffff and the divisor either 1
or also 0xffffffff (signed: -1).
To avoid all these issues simply use unsigned divide instructions.

At first Jakub Zawadzki noticed that some divisions by reciprocal_divide
were not correct. (off by one in some cases)
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/reciprocal-buggy.c
He could also show this with BPF:
http://www.wireshark.org/~darkjames/set-and-dump-filter-k-bug.c
The reciprocal divide in linux kernel is not generic enough,
lets remove its use in BPF, as it is not worth the pain with
current cpus.

PSW32_USER_BITS should define the primary address space for user space
instead of the home address space.
Symptom of this bug is that gdb doesn't work in compat mode.
The bug was introduced with e258d719ff28 "s390/uaccess: always run the kernel
in home space" and f26946d7ecad "s390/compat: make psw32_user_bits a constant

A number of situations currently require the heavyweight smp_mb(),
even though there is no need to order prior stores against later
loads. Many architectures have much cheaper ways to handle these
situations, but the Linux kernel currently has no portable way
to make use of them.
This commit therefore supplies smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() to remedy this situation. The new
smp_load_acquire() primitive orders the specified load against
any subsequent reads or writes, while the new smp_store_release()
primitive orders the specifed store against any prior reads or
writes. These primitives allow array-based circular FIFOs to be
implemented without an smp_mb(), and also allow a theoretical
hole in rcu_assign_pointer() to be closed at no additional
expense on most architectures.
In addition, the RCU experience transitioning from explicit
smp_read_barrier_depends() and smp_wmb() to rcu_dereference()
and rcu_assign_pointer(), respectively resulted in substantial
improvements in readability. It therefore seems likely that
replacing other explicit barriers with smp_load_acquire() and
smp_store_release() will provide similar benefits. It appears
that roughly half of the explicit barriers in core kernel code
might be so replaced.

When using the CLP interface to enable or disable a pci device a
valid function handle needs to be delivered. So far our assumption
was that we always have an up-to-date version of the function handle
(since it doesn't change when the device is in use). This assumption
is incorrect if the pci device is enabled or disabled outside of our
control. When we are notified about such a change we already receive
the new function handle. Just use it.

Add the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag to process only sample-data-blocks that
have the block-full-indicator bit set. Sample-data-blocks that are partially
filled are discarded. Use this flag if the sampling buffer is likely to be
shared among perf events that use different sampling modes. In such
environments, flushing sample-data-blocks that are not completely filled, might
cause invalid-data-formats.
Setting PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS prevents potentially invalid sampling data to
be processed but, in contrast, also discards valid samples in partially filled
sample-data-blocks. Note that sample-data-blocks might not become full for
small sampling frequencies or for workload that is scheduled for tiny intervals.
To sample with the PERF_CPUM_SF_FULL_BLOCKS flag, set the perf->attr.config1
to 0x0004. For example:
perf record -e cpum_sf/config=0xB000,config1=0x0004/

Also support the diagnostic-sampling function in addition to the basic-sampling
function. Diagnostic-sampling data entries contain hardware model specific
sampling data and additional programs are required to analyze the data.
To deliver diagnostic-sampling, as well, as basis-sampling data entries to user
space, introduce support for sampling "raw data". If this particular perf
sampling type (PERF_SAMPLE_RAW) is used, sampling data entries are copied
to user space. External programs can then analyze these data.

The host-program-parameter (hpp) value of basic sample-data-entries designates
a SIE control block that is set by the LPP instruction in sie64a().
Non-zero values indicate guest samples, a value of zero indicates a host sample.
For perf samples, host and guest samples are distinguished using particular
PERF_MISC_* flags. The perf layer calls perf_misc_flags() to set the flags
based on the pt_regs content. For each sample-data-entry, the cpum_sf PMU
creates a pt_regs structure with the sample-data information. An additional
flag structure is added to easily distinguish between host and guest samples.

Improve the sampling buffer allocation and add a function to reallocate and
increase the sampling buffer structure. The number of allocated buffer elements
(sample-data-blocks) are accounted. You can control the minimum and maximum
number these sample-data-blocks through the cpum_sfb_size kernel parameter.
The number hardware sample overflows (if any) are also accounted and stored
per perf event. During the PMU disable/enable calls, the accumulated overflow
counter is analyzed and, if necessary, the sampling buffer is dynamically
increased.

"One performance improvement and a few bug fixes. Two of the fixes
deal with the clock related problems we have seen on recent kernels"
* 'for-linus' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux:
s390/mm: handle asce-type exceptions as normal page fault
s390,time: revert direct ktime path for s390 clockevent device
s390/time,vdso: convert to the new update_vsyscall interface
s390/uaccess: add missing page table walk range check
s390/mm: optimize copy_page
s390/dasd: validate request size before building CCW/TCW request
s390/signal: always restore saved runtime instrumentation psw bit

Some s390 crypto algorithms incorrectly use the crypto_tfm structure to
store private data. As the tfm can be shared among multiple threads, this
can result in data corruption.
This patch fixes aes-xts by moving the xts and pcc parameter blocks from
the tfm onto the stack (48 + 96 bytes).

Git commit 9e34f2686bb088b211b6cac8772e1f644c6180f8
"s390/mm,tlb: tlb flush on page table upgrade fixup" removed the
exception handler for the asce-type exception. This is incorrect
as the user-copy with MVCOS can cause asce-type exceptions in
the kernel if a user pointer is too large. Those need to be
handled with do_no_context to branch to the fixup in the
user-copy code.
The simplest fix for this problem is to call do_dat_exception for
asce-type excpetions, as there is no vma for the address the code
will handle the exception correctly.
