to arch/s390/include/asm/idle.h and arch/s390/kernel/idle.c. The function
s390_get_idle_time is renamed to arch_cpu_idle_time and vtime_stop_cpu to

The oi and ni instructions used in entry[64].S to set and clear bits
in the thread-flags are not guaranteed to be atomic in regard to other
CPUs. Split the TIF bits into CPU, pt_regs and thread-info specific
bits. Updates on the TIF bits are done with atomic instructions,
updates on CPU and pt_regs bits are done with non-atomic instructions.

Skip the call to brk_rnd() if the PF_RANDOMIZE flag is not set for
the process. This avoids the costly get_random_int() call. Modify
arch_randomize_brk() as well to make it look like randomize_et_dyn().

The FPC_VALID_MASK has been used to check the validity of the value
to be loaded into the floating-point-control register. With the
introduction of the floating-point extension facility and the
decimal-floating-point additional bits have been defined which need
to be checked in a non straight forward way. So far these bits have
been ignored which can cause an incorrect results for decimal-
floating-point operations, e.g. an incorrect rounding mode to be
set after signal return.
The static check with the FPC_VALID_MASK is replaced with a trial
load of the floating-point-control value, see test_fp_ctl.
In addition an information leak with the padding word between the
floating-point-control word and the floating-point registers in
the s390_fp_regs is fixed.

Allow user-space threads to use runtime instrumentation (RI). To enable RI
for a thread there is a new s390 specific system call, sys_s390_runtime_instr,
that takes as parameter a realtime signal number. If the RI facility is
available the system call sets up a control block for the calling thread with
the appropriate permissions for the thread to modify the control block.
The user-space thread can then use the store and modify RI instructions to
alter the control block and start/stop the instrumentation via RION/RIOFF.
If the user specified program buffer runs full RI triggers an external
interrupt. The external interrupt is translated to a real-time signal that
is delivered to the thread that enabled RI on that CPU. The number of
the real-time signal is the number specified in the RI system call. So,
user-space can select any available real-time signal number in case the
application itself uses real-time signals for other purposes.
The kernel saves the RI control blocks on task switch only if the running
thread was enabled for RI. Therefore, the performance impact on task switch
should be negligible if RI is not used.
RI is only enabled for user-space mode and is disabled for the supervisor
state.

The current virtual timer interface is inherently per-cpu and hard to
use. The sole user of the interface is appldata which uses it to execute
a function after a specific amount of cputime has been used over all cpus.
Rework the virtual timer interface to hook into the cputime accounting.
This makes the interface independent from the CPU timer interrupts, and
makes the virtual timers global as opposed to per-cpu.
Overall the code is greatly simplified. The downside is that the accuracy
is not as good as the original implementation, but it is still good enough
for appldata.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

Whenever the cpu loads an enabled wait PSW it will appear as idle to the
underlying host system. The code in default_idle calls vtime_stop_cpu
which does the necessary voodoo to get the cpu time accounting right.
The udelay code just loads an enabled wait PSW. To correct this rework
the vtime_stop_cpu/vtime_start_cpu logic and move the difficult parts
to entry[64].S, vtime_stop_cpu can now be called from anywhere and
vtime_start_cpu is gone. The correction of the cpu time during wakeup
from an enabled wait PSW is done with a critical section in entry[64].S.
As vtime_start_cpu is gone, s390_idle_check can be removed as well.

Avoid calling wake_up() from our NMI "bottom halve" from RCU extended
quiescent state in idle. wake_up() has RCU read-side critical sections
but this will be completely ignored by RCU if the cpu is in extended
quiescent state.
Which means that whatever object is being accessed from within the
read-side critical section can be freed concurrently from a different
cpu.
So make sure we leave extended quiescent state before calling wake_up().

Those two APIs were provided to optimize the calls of
tick_nohz_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_enter() into a single
irq disabled section. This way no interrupt happening in-between would
needlessly process any RCU job.
Now we are talking about an optimization for which benefits
have yet to be measured. Let's start simple and completely decouple
idle rcu and dyntick idle logics to simplify.

It is assumed that rcu won't be used once we switch to tickless
mode and until we restart the tick. However this is not always
true, as in x86-64 where we dereference the idle notifiers after
the tick is stopped.
To prepare for fixing this, add two new APIs:
tick_nohz_idle_enter_norcu() and tick_nohz_idle_exit_norcu().
If no use of RCU is made in the idle loop between
tick_nohz_enter_idle() and tick_nohz_exit_idle() calls, the arch
must instead call the new *_norcu() version such that the arch doesn't
need to call rcu_idle_enter() and rcu_idle_exit().
Otherwise the arch must call tick_nohz_enter_idle() and
tick_nohz_exit_idle() and also call explicitly:
- rcu_idle_enter() after its last use of RCU before the CPU is put
to sleep.
- rcu_idle_exit() before the first use of RCU after the CPU is woken
up.
