Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.

s390 has a swap_ex_entry_fixup function, however it is not being used
since common code expects a swap_ex_entry_fixup define. If it is not
defined the default implementation will be used. So fix this by adding
a proper define.
However also the implementation of the function must be fixed, since a
NULL value for handler has a special meaning and must not be adjusted.
Luckily all of this doesn't fix a real bug currently: the main extable
is correctly sorted during build time, and for runtime sorting there
is currently no case where the handler field is not NULL.

arch_ftrace_get_regs is supposed to return a struct pt_regs pointer
only if the pt_regs structure contains all register contents, which
means it must have been populated when created via ftrace_regs_caller.
If it was populated via ftrace_caller the contents are not complete
(the psw mask part is missing), and therefore a NULL pointer needs be
returned.
The current code incorrectly always returns a struct pt_regs pointer.
Fix this by adding another pt_regs flag which indicates if the
contents are complete, and fix arch_ftrace_get_regs accordingly.

ftrace_caller was used for both ftrace_caller and ftrace_regs_caller,
which means that the target address of the hotpatch trampoline was
never updated.
With commit 894979689d3a ("s390/ftrace: provide separate
ftrace_caller/ftrace_regs_caller implementations") a separate
ftrace_regs_caller entry point was implemeted, however it was
forgotten to implement the necessary changes for ftrace_modify_call
and ftrace_make_call, where the branch target has to be modified
accordingly.
Therefore add the missing code now.

We need to preserve the values at OLDMEM_BASE and OLDMEM_SIZE which are
used by zgetdump in case when kdump crashes. In that case zgetdump will
attempt to read OLDMEM_BASE and OLDMEM_SIZE in order to find out where
the memory range [0 - OLDMEM_SIZE] belonging to the production kernel is.

Now that Alexander Gordeev has volunteered to be a co-maintainer for
s390, I can act as a reviewer instead of being a maintainer for s390.
With Alexander, Heiko, and Vasily we are in really good shape.
I will continue to act as the maintainer for KVM on s390 together with
Janosch.
