With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, code
and data that has to stay below 2 GB needs special handling.
This patch introduces .dma sections for such text, data and ex_table.
The sections will be part of the decompressor kernel, so they will not
be relocated and stay below 2 GB. Their location is passed over to the
decompressed / relocated kernel via the .boot.preserved.data section.
The duald and aste for control register setup also need to stay below
2 GB, so move the setup code from arch/s390/kernel/head64.S to
arch/s390/boot/head.S. The duct and linkage_stack could reside above
2 GB, but their content has to be preserved for the decompresed kernel,
so they are also moved into the .dma section.
The start and end address of the .dma sections is added to vmcoreinfo,
for crash support, to help debugging in case the kernel crashed there.

s390 kdump reipl implementation relies on os_info kernel structure
residing in old memory being dumped. os_info contains reipl block,
which is used (if valid) by the kdump kernel for reipl parameters.
The problem is that the reipl block and its checksum inside
os_info is updated only when /sys/firmware/reipl/reipl_type is
written. This sets an offset of a reipl block for "reipl_type" and
re-calculates reipl block checksum. Any further alteration of values
under /sys/firmware/reipl/{reipl_type}/ without subsequent write to
/sys/firmware/reipl/reipl_type lead to incorrect os_info reipl block
checksum. In such a case kdump kernel ignores it and reboots using
default logic.
To fix this, os_info reipl block update is moved right before kdump
execution.

This reverts the two commits
7afbeb6df2 ("s390/ipl: always use load normal for CCW-type re-IPL")
0f7451ff3a ("s390/ipl: use load normal for LPAR re-ipl")
The two commits did not take into account that behavior of standby
memory changes fundamentally if the re-IPL method is changed from
Load Clear to Load Normal.
In case of the old re-IPL clear method all memory that was initially
in standby state will be put into standby state again within the
re-IPL process. Or in other words: memory that was brought online
before a re-IPL will be offline again after a reboot.
Given that we use different re-IPL methods depending on the hypervisor
and CCW-type vs SCSI re-IPL it is not easy to tell in advance when and
why memory will stay online or will be offline after a re-IPL.
This does also have other side effects, since memory that is online
from the beginning will be in ZONE_NORMAL by default vs ZONE_MOVABLE
for memory that is offline.
Therefore, before the change, a user could online and offline memory
easily since standby memory was always in ZONE_NORMAL. After the
change, and a re-IPL, this depended on which memory parts were online
before the re-IPL.
From a usability point of view the current behavior is more than
suboptimal. Therefore revert these changes until we have a better
solution and get back to a consistent behavior. The bad thing about
this is that the time required for a re-IPL will be significantly
increased for configurations with several 100GB or 1TB of memory.

Historically a lot of these existed because we did not have
a distinction between what was modular code and what was providing
support to modules via EXPORT_SYMBOL and friends. That changed
when we forked out support for the latter into the export.h file.
This means we should be able to reduce the usage of module.h
in code that is obj-y Makefile or bool Kconfig. The advantage
in doing so is that module.h itself sources about 15 other headers;
adding significantly to what we feed cpp, and it can obscure what
headers we are effectively using.
Since module.h was the source for init.h (for __init) and for
export.h (for EXPORT_SYMBOL) we consider each change instance
for the presence of either and replace as needed. Build testing
revealed some implicit header usage that was fixed up accordingly.

- makes sure all sclp early functions and variables have the same
"sclp_early" prefix
- converts the sclp early printk code into readable code by using

- splits the early sclp code into two files: sclp_early.c and
sclp_early_core.c. The core file contains everything that is
required by the kernel decompressor and may not call functions not
contained within the core file. Otherwise the result would be a
link error.
- changes interrupt handling to be completely synchronous. The old
early sclp code had a small window which allowed to receive several
interrupts instead of exactly the single expected interrupt. This
did hide a subtle potential bug, which is fixed with this large
rework.
- contains a couple of small cleanups.

"There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:

percent gain with the additional domain.
- the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field

- proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in

- kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the
inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the

- support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
Then there are two removals:

- the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded

instruction.
On the other hand we have also inline assemblies where the extable
entry points to the first instruction of an inline assembly.
If a first type inline asm (extable point to empty label at the end)
would be directly followed by a second type inline asm (extable points
to first instruction) then we would have two different extable entries
that point to the same instruction but would have a different target
address.
This can lead to quite random behaviour, depending on sorting order.
I verified that we currently do not have such collisions within the

The multi-threading facility is introduced with the z13 processor family.
This patch adds code to detect the multi-threading facility. With the
facility enabled each core will surface multiple hardware threads to the
system. Each hardware threads looks like a normal CPU to the operating
system with all its registers and properties.
The SCLP interface reports the SMT topology indirectly via the maximum
thread id. Each reported CPU in the result of a read-scp-information
is a core representing a number of hardware threads.
To reflect the reduced CPU capacity if two hardware threads run on a
single core the MT utilization counter set is used to normalize the
raw cputime obtained by the CPU timer deltas. This scaled cputime is
reported via the taskstats interface. The normal /proc/stat numbers
are based on the raw cputime and are not affected by the normalization.

Currently the loadparm is only supported for CCW IPL. But also for SCSI
IPL it can be specified either on the HMC load panel respectively
z/VM console or via diagnose 308.
So fix this for SCSI and add the required sysfs attributes for reading the
IPL loadparm and for setting the loadparm for re-IPL.
With this patch the following two sysfs attributes are introduced:
- /sys/firmware/ipl/loadparm (for system that have been IPLed from SCSI)
- /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/loadparm
Because the loadparm is now available for SCSI and CCW it is moved
now from "struct ipl_block_ccw" to the generic "struct ipl_list_hdr".

For CCW and SCSI IPL the hardware sets the subchannel ID and number
correctly at 0xb8. For kdump at 0xb8 normally there is the data of
the previously IPLed system.
In order to be clean now for kdump and kexec always set the subchannel
ID and number to zero. This tells the next OS that no CCW/SCSI IPL
has been done.

Simplify the uaccess code by removing the user_mode=home option.
The kernel will now always run in the home space mode.
