Pull s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev: - Add machine variable capacity information to /proc/sysinfo. - Limit the waste of page tables and always align vmalloc area size and base address on segment boundary. - Fix a memory leak when an attempt to register interruption sub class (ISC) for the adjunct-processor (AP) guest failed. - Reset response code AP_RESPONSE_INVALID_GISA to understandable by guest AP_RESPONSE_INVALID_ADDRESS in response to a failed interruption sub class (ISC) registration attempt. - Improve reaction to adjunct-processor (AP) AP_RESPONSE_OTHERWISE_CHANGED response code when enabling interrupts on behalf of a guest. - Fix incorrect sysfs 'status' attribute of adjunct-processor (AP) queue device bound to the vfio_ap device driver when the mediated device is attached to a guest, but the queue device is not passed through. - Rework struct ap_card to hold the whole adjunct-processor (AP) card hardware information. As result, all the ugly bit checks are replaced by simple evaluations of the required bit fields. - Improve handling of some weird scenarios between service element (SE) host and SE guest with adjunct-processor (AP) pass-through support. - Change local_ctl_set_bit() and local_ctl_clear_bit() so they return the previous value of the to be changed control register. This is useful if a bit is only changed temporarily and the previous content needs to be restored. - The kernel starts with machine checks disabled and is expected to enable it once trap_init() is called. However the implementation allows machine checks early. Consistently enable it in trap_init() only. - local_mcck_disable() and local_mcck_enable() assume that machine checks are always enabled. Instead implement and use local_mcck_save() and local_mcck_restore() to disable machine checks and restore the previous state. - Modification of floating point control (FPC) register of a traced process using ptrace interface may lead to corruption of the FPC register of the tracing process. Fix this. - kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_fpu() allows to set the floating point control (FPC) register in vCPU, but may lead to corruption of the FPC register of the host process. Fix this. - Use READ_ONCE() to read a vCPU floating point register value from the memory mapped area. This avoids that, depending on code generation, a different value is tested for validity than the one that is used. - Get rid of test_fp_ctl(), since it is quite subtle to use it correctly. Instead copy a new floating point control register value into its save area and test the validity of the new value when loading it. - Remove superfluous save_fpu_regs() call. - Remove s390 support for ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT. All machines provide the vector facility since many years and the need to make the task structure size dependent on the vector facility does not exist. - Remove the "novx" kernel command line option, as the vector code runs without any problems since many years. - Add the vector facility to the z13 architecture level set (ALS). All hypervisors support the vector facility since many years. This allows compile time optimizations of the kernel. - Get rid of MACHINE_HAS_VX and replace it with cpu_has_vx(). As result, the compiled code will have less runtime checks and less code. - Convert pgste_get_lock() and pgste_set_unlock() ASM inlines to C. - Convert the struct subchannel spinlock from pointer to member. * tag 's390-6.8-1' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux: (24 commits) Revert "s390: update defconfigs" s390/cio: make sch->lock spinlock pointer a member s390: update defconfigs s390/mm: convert pgste locking functions to C s390/fpu: get rid of MACHINE_HAS_VX s390/als: add vector facility to z13 architecture level set s390/fpu: remove "novx" option s390/fpu: remove ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT support KVM: s390: remove superfluous save_fpu_regs() call s390/fpu: get rid of test_fp_ctl() KVM: s390: use READ_ONCE() to read fpc register value KVM: s390: fix setting of fpc register s390/ptrace: handle setting of fpc register correctly s390/nmi: implement and use local_mcck_save() / local_mcck_restore() s390/nmi: consistently enable machine checks in trap_init() s390/ctlreg: return old register contents when changing bits s390/ap: handle outband SE bind state change s390/ap: store TAPQ hwinfo in struct ap_card s390/vfio-ap: fix sysfs status attribute for AP queue devices s390/vfio-ap: improve reaction to response code 07 from PQAP(AQIC) command ...
Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
