Avoid cache aliasing on z13 by aligning shared objects to multiples
of 512K. The virtual addresses of a page from a shared file needs
to have identical bits in the range 2^12 to 2^18.

With this patch for kdump the s390 vector registers are stored into the
prepared save areas in the old kernel and into the REGSET_VX_LOW and
REGSET_VX_HIGH ELF notes for /proc/vmcore in the new kernel.
The NT_S390_VXRS_LOW note contains the lower halves of the first 16 vector
registers 0-15. The higher halves are stored in the floating point register
ELF note. The NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH contains the full vector registers 16-31.
The kernel provides a save area for storing vector register in case of
machine checks. A pointer to this save are is stored in the CPU lowcore
at offset 0x11b0. This save area is also used to save the registers for
kdump. In case of a dumped crashed kdump those areas are used to extract
the registers of the production system.
The vector registers for remote CPUs are stored using the "store additional
status at address" SIGP. For the dump CPU the vector registers are stored
with the VSTM instruction.
With this patch also zfcpdump stores the vector registers.

The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of
instruction to operate on the vector registers.
The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state
program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the
kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context
switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers.
Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added
to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps.

Add a pointer to the system call table to the thread_info structure.
The TIF_31BIT bit is set or cleared by SET_PERSONALITY exactly once
for the lifetime of a process. With the pointer to the correct system
call table in thread_info the system call code in entry64.S path can
drop the check for TIF_31BIT which saves a couple of instructions.

Move fill_cpu_elf_notes() prototype to header file.
This way we get compile errors if e.g. the number of function
parameters get changed.
Otherwise it's possible to change just the definition and everything
else still compiles fine, but the result is broken code.

Allow user-space processes to use transactional execution (TX).
If the TX facility is available user space programs can use
transactions for fine-grained serialization based on the data
objects that are referenced during a transaction. This is
useful for lockless data structures and speculative compiler
optimizations.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.
Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

The noexec support on s390 does not rely on a bit in the page table
entry but utilizes the secondary space mode to distinguish between
memory accesses for instructions vs. data. The noexec code relies
on the assumption that the cpu will always use the secondary space
page table for data accesses while it is running in the secondary
space mode. Up to the z9-109 class machines this has been the case.
Unfortunately this is not true anymore with z10 and later machines.
The load-relative-long instructions lrl, lgrl and lgfrl access the
memory operand using the same addressing-space mode that has been
used to fetch the instruction.
This breaks the noexec mode for all user space binaries compiled
with march=z10 or later. The only option is to remove the current
noexec support.

Consider stack address randomization when calulating mmap_base for
flexible mmap layout . Because of address randomization the stack
address can be up to 8MB lower than STACK_TOP.
When calculating mmap_base this isn't taken into account, which could
lead to the case that the gap between the real stack top and mmap_base
is lower than what ulimit specifies for the maximum stack size.

Use the personality() macro to mask out all bits that are not
relevant for the personality type.
The personality field contains bits for other things as well,
so without masking out the not relevalent bits the comparison
won't do what is expected.
