Heiko Carstens e7828bbd5e [S390] vdso: dont map at mmap_base
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.

Christoph Egger a78f1c4c1d [S390] vdso: remove redundant check for CONFIG_64BIT
This is a check for CONFIG_64BIT inside a block that is only active when
CONFIG_64BIT is set. So the check is actually useless and potentially
irritating.

Heiko Carstens cbb870c822 [S390] Cleanup struct _lowcore usage and defines.
Use asm offsets to make sure the offset defines to struct _lowcore and
its layout don't get out of sync.
Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON() which checks that the size of the structure
is sane.
And while being at it change those sites which use odd casts to access
the current lowcore. These should use S390_lowcore instead.

Martin Schwidefsky b11b533427 [S390] Improve address space mode selection.
Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and
s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values:
  1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0
  2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0
  3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1
They get replaced by
  1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE
  2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE
  3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE
The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets
you choose the address space mode the user space processes should
use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option
is removed.

Martin Schwidefsky 7aa79f9487 [S390] vdso: kernel parameter syntax
The syntax of the vdso kernel parameter is documented as vdso=[on|off].
The implementation uses vdso=[0|1], an invalid parameter string disables
the vdso support. Fix the mismatch by adding vdso=[on|off] as additional
parameter syntax.

!CONFIG_SMP:

arch/s390/kernel/vdso.c: In function 'vdso_init':
arch/s390/kernel/vdso.c:325: error: incompatible type for argument 2 of 'vdso_alloc_per_cpu'

Also move the code out of the BUG_ON statement since it won't be
executed on !CONFIG_BUG. And that would be a bug.

Martin Schwidefsky c742b31c03 [PATCH] fast vdso implementation for CLOCK_THREAD_CPUTIME_ID
The extract cpu time instruction (ectg) instruction allows the user
process to get the current thread cputime without calling into the
kernel. The code that uses the instruction needs to switch to the
access registers mode to get access to the per-cpu info page that
contains the two base values that are needed to calculate the current
cputime from the CPU timer with the ectg instruction.
