Include the new linux/kdebug.h instead of asm/kdebug.h.
Simply remove the asm/kdebug.h include if both had been included.

This patch provides a debugfs knob to turn kprobes on/off
o A new file /debug/kprobes/enabled indicates if kprobes is enabled or
not (default enabled)
o Echoing 0 to this file will disarm all installed probes
o Any new probe registration when disabled will register the probe but
not arm it. A message will be printed out in such a case.
o When a value 1 is echoed to the file, all probes (including ones
registered in the intervening period) will be enabled
o Unregistration will happen irrespective of whether probes are globally
enabled or not.
o Update Documentation/kprobes.txt to reflect these changes. While there
also update the doc to make it current.
We are also looking at providing sysrq key support to tie to the disabling
feature provided by this patch.

- consolidate duplicate code in all arch_prepare_kretprobe instances
into common code
- replace various odd helpers that use hlist_for_each_entry to get
the first elemenet of a list with either a hlist_for_each_entry_save
or an opencoded access to the first element in the caller
- inline add_rp_inst into it's only remaining caller
- use kretprobe_inst_table_head instead of opencoding it

This patch moves the die notifier handling to common code. Previous
various architectures had exactly the same code for it. Note that the new
code is compiled unconditionally, this should be understood as an appel to
the other architecture maintainer to implement support for it aswell (aka
sprinkling a notify_die or two in the proper place)
arm had a notifiy_die that did something totally different, I renamed it to
arm_notify_die as part of the patch and made it static to the file it's
declared and used at. avr32 used to pass slightly less information through
this interface and I brought it into line with the other architectures.

Architectures that don't support DMA can say so by adding a config NO_DMA
to their Kconfig file. This will prevent compilation of some dma specific
driver code. Also dma-mapping-broken.h isn't needed anymore on at least
s390. This avoids compilation and linking of otherwise dead/broken code.
Other architectures that include dma-mapping-broken.h are arm26, h8300,
m68k, m68knommu and v850. If these could be converted as well we could get
rid of the header file.

Commit c1821c2e9711adc3cd298a16b7237c92a2cee78d introduced the
uaccess structure that is used to select the correct set of user
copy functions for the different execution modes (standard vs.
noexec vs. z9 optimized user copy). The uaccess symbol is exported
with EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL. This breaks all non-gpl modules that use
user copy. To make them work again change the export to
EXPORT_SYMBOL.

Herbert Xu conviced me that a new flag was overkill; every driver
currently overrides get_stats, so we might as well make the internal

s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI
disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first
32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is
booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from
Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to
userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to
Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

Network drivers which keep stats allocate their own stats structure
then write a get_stats() function to return them. It would be nice if
this were done by default.
1) Add a new "stats" field to "struct net_device".
2) Add a new feature field to say "this driver uses the internal one"
3) Have a default "get_stats" which returns NULL if that feature not set.
4) Change callers to check result of get_stats call for NULL, not if
->get_stats is set.
This should not break backwards compatibility with older drivers, yet
allow modern drivers to shed some boilerplate code.
Lightly tested: works for a modified lguest network driver.

Running a probe on s390 with a probe address that is not 4 byte aligned
results in a Kernel BUG. The problem is that the stura instruction used
by swap_instruction requires the destination address to be 4 byte aligned.
As stura only writes 4 bytes, aligning to the next 4 byte aligned address
results in the breakpoint instruction being stored past the probe address.
The fix is to align the address backward (to the previous 4 byte aligned
address) and writing the two byte breakpoint instruction in the appropriate
bytes.

Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new
check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel
and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched
(kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space).
Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if
it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load
an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than
0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory
is accessed using the base register related to the access register,
the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the
DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need
to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a
ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

nss and kexec don't work together since kexec wants to write to the
read-only text section of the shared kernel image.

Reipl doesn't work on older machines were s390_reset_machine() gets
called. The reason is that the text section is read-only but the
variable dump_prefix_page is there. Since s390_reset_machine() writes
to it we get a protection exception.
Therefore move dump_prefix_page to the bss section.

Avoid sprinkling a _lot_ of preempt_disable/preempt_enable pairs.
This would be necessary for e.g. the iucv driver. Also this way we
are more consistent with other architectures which disable
preemption at least for smp_call_function.

The illegal operation handler calls the die notifier with DIE_BPT to
let kprobes pick up its breakpoint. If kprobes does not find its
breakpoint it returns NOTIFY_STOP instead of NOTIFY_DONE.
Since we use stop_machine_run on s390 to arm/disarm the kprobes
breakpoints the race that kprobe_handler tries to solve by checking
for the kprobes breakpoints does not exist. Removing the check makes
BUG_ON working again.

Since $(ARCH) is always "s390" we can replace it with "s390".
