This patch converts s390 to use the generic entry infrastructure from
kernel/entry/*.
There are a few special things on s390:
- PIF_PER_TRAP is moved to TIF_PER_TRAP as the generic code doesn't
know about our PIF flags in exit_to_user_mode_loop().
- The old code had several ways to restart syscalls:
a) PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART, which was only set during execve to force a
restart after upgrading a process (usually qemu-kvm) to pgste page
table extensions.
b) PIF_SYSCALL, which is set by do_signal() to indicate that the
current syscall should be restarted. This is changed so that
do_signal() now also uses PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART. Continuing to use
PIF_SYSCALL doesn't work with the generic code, and changing it
to PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART makes PIF_SYSCALL and PIF_SYSCALL_RESTART
more unique.
- On s390 calling sys_sigreturn or sys_rt_sigreturn is implemented by
executing a svc instruction on the process stack which causes a fault.
While handling that fault the fault code sets PIF_SYSCALL to hand over
processing to the syscall code on exit to usermode.
The patch introduces PIF_SYSCALL_RET_SET, which is set if ptrace sets
a return value for a syscall. The s390x ptrace ABI uses r2 both for the
syscall number and return value, so ptrace cannot set the syscall number +
return value at the same time. The flag makes handling that a bit easier.
do_syscall() will just skip executing the syscall if PIF_SYSCALL_RET_SET
is set.
CONFIG_DEBUG_ASCE was removd in favour of the generic CONFIG_DEBUG_ENTRY.
CR1/7/13 will be checked both on kernel entry and exit to contain the
correct asces.

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.
