commit 0008204ffe85d23382d6fd0f971f3f0fbe70bae2 upstream.
The s390 idle accounting code uses a sequence counter which gets used
when the per cpu idle statistics get updated and read.
One assumption on read access is that only when the sequence counter is
even and did not change while reading all values the result is valid.
On cpu hotplug however the per cpu data structure gets initialized via
a cpu hotplug notifier on CPU_ONLINE.
CPU_ONLINE however is too late, since the onlined cpu is already running
and might access the per cpu data. Worst case is that the data structure
gets initialized while an idle thread is updating its idle statistics.
This will result in an uneven sequence counter after an update.
As a result user space tools like top, which access /proc/stat in order
to get idle stats, will busy loop waiting for the sequence counter to
become even again, which will never happen until the queried cpu will
update its idle statistics again. And even then the sequence counter
will only have an even value for a couple of cpu cycles.
Fix this by moving the initialization of the per cpu idle statistics
to cpu_init(). I prefer that solution in favor of changing the
notifier to CPU_UP_PREPARE, which would be a different solution to
the problem.

The .start function and indirectly the .next function of the show_cpuinfo
sequential operation uses NR_CPUS as limit instead of nr_cpu_ids.
This can cause warnings like this:

Replacing NR_CPUS with nr_cpu_ids fixes it.

When the seqfile /proc/cpuinfo gets accesses for each possible cpu
loops_per_jiffy gets recalculated. However its value is only needed
on first access.
In addition loops_per_jiffy should be recalculated when the machine
reports a capability change.

Use get_online_cpus() instead of preempt_disable() to make sure cpus
don't go offline while accessing their per cpu data.
The preempt_disable() stuff is old code which was used before
get_online_cpus() was available.

Get rid of messages that indicate if a cpu went online or offline.
There is nothing special about this anymore and these messages might
flood the kernel log buffer which makes debugging harder since more
important messages might be overwritten.

Up to now print_cpu_info() uses the cpu address stored in it's local
lowcore to print a message to the console. The cpu address in the
lowcore is (in this case) however not the physical cpu address of the
local cpu. It's the address of the cpu that issued the sigp restart
which started the local cpu.
Fix this by using the store cpu address instruction instead.
It's not that anybody really cares since this is broken since more than
ten years...

The Extended Translation Facility 3 (ETF3) added instructions which
allow conversions between different unicode character maps (UTF-8,
UTF-32 ...). These instructions got enhanced with a later version of
the ETF3 allowing malformed multibyte chars to be recognized and
reported correctly. The attached patch reserves bit 8 in the elf
hwcaps vector for the enhanced version of ETF3. The bit corresponds to
the stfle bits 22 and 30 and will only be set if both of the stfle
bits are set.
