If do_signal() gets called several times before returning to user space
and no signal is pending (e.g. cancelled by a debugger) syscall restart
handling could be done several times. This would change the user space
PSW to an address prior to the syscall instruction.

Therefore all boot loaders must set the initrd size and address correctly.
This is especially relevant for ftp boot via HMC/SE, where this change

1. Multipath devices for which SetPGID is not supported are not handled well.
Use NOP ccws for path verification (sans path grouping) when SetPGID is not
supported.
2. Check for PGIDs already set with SensePGID on _all_ paths (not just the
first one) and try to find a common one. Moan if no common PGID can be
found (and use NOP verification). If no PGIDs have been set, use the css
global PGID (as before). (Rationale: SetPGID will get a command reject if
the PGID it tries to set does not match the already set PGID.)
3. Immediately before reboot, issue RESET CHANNEL PATH (rcp) on all chpids. This
will remove the old PGIDs. rcp will generate solicited CRWs which can be
savely ignored by the machine check handler (all other actions create
unsolicited CRWs).

Currently most architectures either always build binfmt_elf32 in the kernel
image or make it a boolean option. Only sparc64 and s390 allow to build it
modularly. This patch turns the option into a boolean aswell because elf
requires various symbols that shouldn't be available to modules. The most
urgent one is tasklist_lock whos export this patch series kills, but there
are others like force_sgi aswell.
Note that sparc doesn't allow a modular 32bit a.out handler either, and
that would be the more useful case as only few people want 32bit sunos
compatibility and 99.9% of all sparc64 users need 32bit linux native elf
support.

At the moment, powerpc and s390 have their own versions of do_softirq which
include local_bh_disable() and __local_bh_enable() calls. They end up
calling __do_softirq (in kernel/softirq.c) which also does
local_bh_disable/enable.
Apparently the two levels of disable/enable trigger a warning from some
validation code that Ingo is working on, and he would like to see the outer
level removed. But to do that, we have to move the account_system_vtime
calls that are currently in the arch do_softirq() implementations for
powerpc and s390 into the generic __do_softirq() (this is a no-op for other
archs because account_system_vtime is defined to be an empty inline
function on all other archs). This patch does that.

The remaining counters in page_state after the zoned VM counter patches
have been applied are all just for show in /proc/vmstat. They have no
essential function for the VM.
We use a simple increment of per cpu variables. In order to avoid the most
severe races we disable preempt. Preempt does not prevent the race between
an increment and an interrupt handler incrementing the same statistics
counter. However, that race is exceedingly rare, we may only loose one
increment or so and there is no requirement (at least not in kernel) that
the vm event counters have to be accurate.
In the non preempt case this results in a simple increment for each
counter. For many architectures this will be reduced by the compiler to a
single instruction. This single instruction is atomic for i386 and x86_64.
And therefore even the rare race condition in an interrupt is avoided for
both architectures in most cases.
The patchset also adds an off switch for embedded systems that allows a
building of linux kernels without these counters.
The implementation of these counters is through inline code that hopefully
results in only a single instruction increment instruction being emitted
(i386, x86_64) or in the increment being hidden though instruction
concurrency (EPIC architectures such as ia64 can get that done).
Benefits:
- VM event counter operations usually reduce to a single inline instruction
on i386 and x86_64.
- No interrupt disable, only preempt disable for the preempt case.
Preempt disable can also be avoided by moving the counter into a spinlock.
- Handling is similar to zoned VM counters.
- Simple and easily extendable.
- Can be omitted to reduce memory use for embedded use.

Currently a single atomic variable is used to establish the size of the page
cache in the whole machine. The zoned VM counters have the same method of
implementation as the nr_pagecache code but also allow the determination of
the pagecache size per zone.
Remove the special implementation for nr_pagecache and make it a zoned counter
named NR_FILE_PAGES.
Updates of the page cache counters are always performed with interrupts off.
We can therefore use the __ variant here.

If a machine checks interrupts the external or the i/o interrupt
handler before they have completed the cpu time calculations, the
accounting goes wrong. After the cpu returned from the machine check
handler to the interrupted interrupt handler, a negative cpu time delta
can occur. If the accumulated cpu time in lowcore is small enough
this value can get negative as well. The next jiffy interrupt will pick
up that negative value, shift it by 12 and add the now huge positive
value to the cpu time of the process.
To solve this the machine check handler is modified not to change any
of the timestamps in the lowcore if the machine check interrupted kernel
context.
