This patch adds functionality to detect if the kernel runs under the KVM hypervisor. A macro MACHINE_IS_KVM is exported for device drivers. This allows drivers to skip device detection if the systems runs non-virtualized. We also define a preferred console to avoid having the ttyS0, which is a line mode only console.

Most noteable part of this commit is the new local header file entry.h which contains all the function declarations of functions that get only called from asm code or are arch internal. That way we can avoid extern declarations in C files. This is more or less the same that was done for sparc64.

/sys/firmware/reipl/nss/name contains the nss name when defsys or savesys command has been executed. If the defsys or savesys command fails the kernel_nss_name has to be cleared since a reipl on that nss name won't be possible.

It caused only a lot of confusion. From now on cpu hotplug of up to NR_CPUS will work by default. If somebody wants to limit that then the possible_cpus parameter can be used. Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Add a new interface so that cpus can be put into standby state and configured state. Only offline cpus can be put into standby state or configured state. For that the new percpu sysfs attribute "configure" must be used. To put a cpu in standby state a "0" must be written to the attribute. In order to switch it into configured state a "1" must be written to the attribute. Only cpus in configured state can be brought online. In addition this patch introduces a static mapping of physical to logical cpus. As a result only the sysfs directories of present cpus will be created. To scan for new cpus the new sysfs attribute "rescan" must be used. Writing to /sys/devices/system/cpu/rescan will trigger a rescan of cpus and will create directories for new cpus. On IPL only configured cpus will be used. And on reboot/shutdown all cpus will remain in their current state (configured/standby).

Before we're getting short on memory detection fixes here is the next one: if neither sclp nor diag260 report the storage size the detection loop will return immediately without detecting anything. Fix this by breaking the detection loop only if the memory end is known. Signed-off-by: NHeiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: NMartin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Yet another patch in the countless series of memory detection fixes: if the last area of the reported storage size is a hole the detection loop will loop forever. Just break chunk detection loop if its end is going to be larger than reported storage size.

diag 260 returns the address of the last addressable byte and not the size of memory. Since we want the size we have to add 1 to the return value.

Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone. Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an early call to sort_main_extable(). This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of head[31|64].S into C code.
