Currently the diag10() function can only release one page. For exploiters
that have to call diag10 on a contiguous memory region this is suboptimal.
This patch replaces the diag10() function with diag10_range() that is
able to release multiple pages. In addition to that the new function now
allows to release memory with addresses higher than 2047 MiB. This was
due to a restriction of the diagnose implementation under z/VM prior to
release 5.2.

When starting a new CPU we currently jump to start_secondary() without
setting register 14 (the return address) correctly. Therefore on the stack
frame for start_secondary an invalid return address is stored. This leads
to wrong stack back traces in kernel dumps.
Example:
#00 [1f33fe48] cpu_idle at 10614a
#01 [1f33fe90] start_secondary at 54fa88
#02 [1f33feb8] (null) at 0 <--- invalid
To fix this start_secondary() is called now with basr/brasl that sets
register 14 correctly. The output of the stack backtrace looks then
like the following:
#00 [1f33fe48] cpu_idle at 10614a
#01 [1f33fe90] start_secondary at 54fa88
#02 [1f33feb8] restart_base at 54f41e <--- correct

For future rework of try_to_wake_up() we'd like to push part of that
function onto the CPU the task is actually going to run on.
In order to do so we need a generic callback from the existing scheduler IPI.
This patch introduces such a generic callback: scheduler_ipi() and
implements it as a NOP.
BenH notes: PowerPC might use this IPI on offline CPUs under rare conditions!

Implement the architecture backend for jump label support on s390.
For a shared kernel booted from a NSS silently disable jump labels
because the NSS is read-only. Therefore jump labels will be disabled
in a shared kernel and can't be activated.

The latest binutils won't accept the stfl instruction with march=g5
which is the correct behaviour. Unfortunately head.S is assembled
with -march=g5 even if the target cpu is z900 or later. To get
31-bit kernels compiled again the easiest fix is to use the .insn
notation for the stfl instruction in head.S.

After the execution has been switched to the destination CPU, the target
function is called with the wrong parameter. According to the C calling
convention on s390, the first parameter should be loaded into register 2.
Currently in smp_restart_cpu() it is stored in register 3. To fix this, we
load the parameter into the correct register 2.

and performance degradation.
This patch adds @cacheline parameter to PERCPU() and PERCPU_VADDR()

size and use it to align percpu subsections.

The vdso object is currently always mapped with mm->mmap_base used as
requested address. In case of flexible mmap layout this means it gets
mapped above mmap_base and therefore potentially stealing a bit of
address space that is reserved for the stack.
In case of flexible mmap layout the object should be mapped below
mmap base. For legacy mmap layout above.
To fix this just don't request any specific address and let the mmap
code figure out an address that fits.

Until now machine checks for the swapper process of the IPL cpu are just
implicitly (and more or less accidently) enabled when the first time the
idle process goes into idle state and loads an enabled wait psw.
Before that machine checks are disabled.
