Git commit d97d929f06d0 ("s390: move cacheinfo sysfs to generic cacheinfo
infrastructure") removed the general-instructions-extension availability
check before the ecag instruction is executed.
Without this check this may lead to crashes on machines without this facility.
Therefore add the check again where needed.

When testing Sudeep Holla's cache info rework I didn't realize that the
shared cpu masks are broken (all have the same cpu set).
Let's fix this.

show_cacheinfo() needs to access the cacheinfo structure of any online
cpu. This was done with using smp_processor_id() as in index while in
preemtible context.
This means the cpu could be offline and the data be gone when it would
be accessed.
Better use any online cpu address and protect the data by get_online_cpus()
and put_online_cpus().

<title>s390, cacheinfo: Fix CPU hotplug callback registration</title>

<id>6575080e671f3675a4c47b61c38556d54e028ca8</id>
<content type='text'>
Subsystems that want to register CPU hotplug callbacks, as well as perform
initialization for the CPUs that are already online, often do it as shown
below:

	get_online_cpus();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	register_cpu_notifier(&amp;foobar_cpu_notifier);

	put_online_cpus();

This is wrong, since it is prone to ABBA deadlocks involving the
cpu_add_remove_lock and the cpu_hotplug.lock (when running concurrently
with CPU hotplug operations).

Instead, the correct and race-free way of performing the callback
registration is:

	cpu_notifier_register_begin();

	for_each_online_cpu(cpu)
		init_cpu(cpu);

	/* Note the use of the double underscored version of the API */
	__register_cpu_notifier(&amp;foobar_cpu_notifier);

	cpu_notifier_register_done();

Fix the cacheinfo code in s390 by using this latter form of callback
registration.

<title>s390: delete __cpuinit usage from all s390 files</title>

<content type='text'>
The __cpuinit type of throwaway sections might have made sense
some time ago when RAM was more constrained, but now the savings
do not offset the cost and complications.  For example, the fix in
commit 5e427ec2d0 ("x86: Fix bit corruption at CPU resume time")
is a good example of the nasty type of bugs that can be created
with improper use of the various __init prefixes.

After a discussion on LKML[1] it was decided that cpuinit should go
the way of devinit and be phased out.  Once all the users are gone,
we can then finally remove the macros themselves from linux/init.h.

Note that some harmless section mismatch warnings may result, since
notify_cpu_starting() and cpu_up() are arch independent (kernel/cpu.c)
are flagged as __cpuinit  -- so if we remove the __cpuinit from
arch specific callers, we will also get section mismatch warnings.
As an intermediate step, we intend to turn the linux/init.h cpuinit
content into no-ops as early as possible, since that will get rid
of these warnings.  In any case, they are temporary and harmless.

This removes all the arch/s390 uses of the __cpuinit macros from
all C files.  Currently s390 does not have any __CPUINIT used in
assembly files.
