<id>urn:sha1:00085f1efa387a8ce100e3734920f7639c80caa3</id>
<content type='text'>
The dma-mapping core and the implementations do not change the DMA
attributes passed by pointer.  Thus the pointer can point to const data.
However the attributes do not have to be a bitfield.  Instead unsigned
long will do fine:

1. This is just simpler.  Both in terms of reading the code and setting
   attributes.  Instead of initializing local attributes on the stack
   and passing pointer to it to dma_set_attr(), just set the bits.

2. It brings safeness and checking for const correctness because the
   attributes are passed by value.

Semantic patches for this change (at least most of them):

This fixes the same issue Steven already fixed for x86
in following commit:

  237d28db036e ftrace/jprobes/x86: Fix conflict between jprobes and function graph tracing

It fixes the crash, that happens when function graph tracing
and jprobes are used simultaneously. Please refer to above
commit for details.

<title>s390: Define AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH for ARCH_DLINFO</title>

<id>urn:sha1:68c5cf5a6091c2c3fabccfd42ca844d730ec24c6</id>
<content type='text'>
AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH should be defined with the maximum number of
NEW_AUX_ENT entries that ARCH_DLINFO can contain, but it wasn't defined
for s390 at all even though ARCH_DLINFO can contain one NEW_AUX_ENT when
VDSO is enabled.

This shouldn't be a problem as AT_VECTOR_SIZE_BASE includes space for
AT_BASE_PLATFORM which s390 doesn't use, but lets define it now and add
the comment above ARCH_DLINFO as found in several other architectures to
remind future modifiers of ARCH_DLINFO to keep AT_VECTOR_SIZE_ARCH up to
date.

<title>s390/numa: only set possible nodes within node_possible_map</title>

Make sure that only those nodes appear in the node_possible_map that
may actually be used. Usually that means that the node online and
possible maps are identical. For mode "plain" we only have one node,
for mode "emu" we have "emu_nodes" nodes.

Before this the possible map included (with default config) 16 nodes
while usually only one was used. That made a couple of loops that
iterated over all possible nodes do more work than necessary.

The architecture level set code has been converted to C and doesn't
need a define to figure out array sizes. Since the old code was the
only user of the DWORDS define, we can get rid of it again.

If the kernel needs more facilities to run than the machine provides
it is running on, print the facility bit numbers which are missing.

This allows to easily tell what went wrong and if simply the machine
does not provide a required facility or if either the kernel or the
hypervisor may have a bug.

If we have a facility mismatch the kernel only emits a warning that
the processor is not recent enough and stops operating. This doesn't
give us a lot of an idea of what actually went wrong.

As a first step print the machine type in addition.
