The s390 architecture uses either a cmpxchg loop (old systems) or the laa add-to-memory instruction (new systems) to implement this_cpu_add(), both of which are NMI safe. This means that the old and more-efficient srcu_read_lock() may be used in NMI context, without the need for srcu_read_lock_nmisafe(). Therefore, add the new Kconfig option ARCH_HAS_NMI_SAFE_THIS_CPU_OPS to arch/s390/Kconfig, which will cause NEED_SRCU_NMI_SAFE to be deselected, thus preserving the current srcu_read_lock() behavior.

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.
