commit 8f100bb1ff27873dd71f636da670e503b9ade3c6 upstream.

Add the missing lpp magic initialization for cpu 0. Without this all
samples on cpu 0 do not have the most significant bit set in the
program parameter field, which we use to distinguish between guest and
host samples if the pid is also 0.

We did initialize the lpp magic in the absolute zero lowcore but
forgot that when switching to the allocated lowcore on cpu 0 only.

The novx parameter disables the vector facility but the HWCAP_S390_VXRS
bit in the ELf hardware capabilies is always set if the machine has
the vector facility. If the user space program uses the "vx" string
in the features field of /proc/cpuinfo to utilize vector instruction
it will crash if the novx kernel paramter is set.

Convert setup_hwcaps to an arch_initcall and use MACHINE_HAS_VX to
decide if the HWCAPS_S390_VXRS bit needs to be set.

Heiko noticed that the current check for hugepage support on s390 is a
little bit too harsh as systems which do not support will crash.

The reason is that pageblock_order can now get negative when we set
HPAGE_SHIFT to 0.  To avoid all this and to avoid opening another can of
worms with enabling HUGETLB_PAGE_SIZE_VARIABLE I think it would be best
to simply allow architectures to define their own hugepages_supported().

Revert bea41197ead3 ("s390/mm: make hugepages_supported a boot time
decision") in preparation.

There is a potential bug with KVM and hugetlbfs if the hardware does not
support hugepages (EDAT1).  We fix this by making EDAT1 a hard requirement
for hugepages and therefore removing and simplifying code.

As s390, with the sw-emulated hugepages, was the only user of
arch_prepare/release_hugepage I also removed theses calls from common and
other architecture code.

This patch (of 5):

By dropping support for hugepages on machines which do not have the
hardware feature EDAT1, we fix a potential s390 KVM bug.

The bug would happen if a guest is backed by hugetlbfs (not supported
currently), but does not get pagetables with PGSTE.  This would lead to
random memory overwrites.

It turned out that SIGP set-multi-threading can only be done once.
Therefore switching to a different MT level after switching to
sclp.mtid_prev in the dump case fails.

As a symptom specifying the "nosmt" parameter currently fails for
the kdump kernel and the kernel starts with multi-threading enabled.

So fix this and issue diag 308 subcode 1 call after collecting the
CPU states for the dump. Also enhance the diag308_reset() function to
be usable also with enabled lowcore protection and prefix register != 0.
After the reset it is possible to switch the MT level again. We have
to do the reset very early in order not to kill the already initialized
console. Therefore instead of kmalloc() the corresponding memblock
functions have to be used. To avoid copying the sclp cpu code into
sclp_early, we now use the simple sigp loop method for CPU detection.
