The set-program-parameter (SPP) instruction has been renamed to
load-program-parameter (LPP) (see SA23-2260). Reflect this change
and rename all macro/instruction references.
Also remove the duplicate SPP/LPP entry in the kernel disassembler
instruction list.

The s390 architecture is unique in respect to dirty page detection,
it uses the change bit in the per-page storage key to track page
modifications. All other architectures track dirty bits by means
of page table entries. This property of s390 has caused numerous
problems in the past, e.g. see git commit ef5d437f71
"mm: fix XFS oops due to dirty pages without buffers on s390".
To avoid future issues in regard to per-page dirty bits convert
s390 to a fault based software dirty bit detection mechanism. All
user page table entries which are marked as clean will be hardware
read-only, even if the pte is supposed to be writable. A write by
the user process will trigger a protection fault which will cause
the user pte to be marked as dirty and the hardware read-only bit
is removed.
With this change the dirty bit in the storage key is irrelevant
for Linux as a host, but the storage key is still required for
KVM guests. The effect is that page_test_and_clear_dirty and the
related code can be removed. The referenced bit in the storage
key is still used by the page_test_and_clear_young primitive to
provide page age information.
For page cache pages of mappings with mapping_cap_account_dirty
there will not be any change in behavior as the dirty bit tracking
already uses read-only ptes to control the amount of dirty pages.
Only for swap cache pages and pages of mappings without
mapping_cap_account_dirty there can be additional protection faults.
To avoid an excessive number of additional faults the mk_pte
primitive checks for PageDirty if the pgprot value allows for writes
and pre-dirties the pte. That avoids all additional faults for
tmpfs and shmem pages until these pages are added to the swap cache.

MACHINE_HAS_PFMF and MACHINE_HAS_HPAGE actually have the same semantics:
the cpu has the EDAT1 facility installed in zArch mode. So remove one
of the feature flags in machine_flags and rename the other one to EDAT1.
The two old macros simply get mapped to MACHINE_HAS_EDAT1.

Renaming the globally visible variable "user_mode" to "addressing_mode" in
order to fix a name clash was not a good idea. (Commit 37fe1d73 "s390/mm:
rename user_mode variable to addressing_mode")
Looking at the code after a couple of weeks one thinks: addressing mode of
what?
So rename the variable again. This time to s390_user_mode. Which hopefully
makes more sense.

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.

Use asm offsets to make sure the offset defines to struct _lowcore and
its layout don't get out of sync.
Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON() which checks that the size of the structure
is sane.
And while being at it change those sites which use odd casts to access
the current lowcore. These should use S390_lowcore instead.

Introduce user_mode to replace the two variables switch_amode and
s390_noexec. There are three valid combinations of the old values:
1) switch_amode == 0 && s390_noexec == 0
2) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 0
3) switch_amode == 1 && s390_noexec == 1
They get replaced by
1) user_mode == HOME_SPACE_MODE
2) user_mode == PRIMARY_SPACE_MODE
3) user_mode == SECONDARY_SPACE_MODE
The new kernel parameter user_mode=[primary,secondary,home] lets
you choose the address space mode the user space processes should
use. In addition the CONFIG_S390_SWITCH_AMODE config option
is removed.

Append scpdata to the kernel boot command line. If scpdata starts
with the equal sign (=), the kernel boot command line is replaced.
(For consistency with zIPL and IPL PARM parameters.)
To use scpdata for the kernel boot command line, scpdata must consist
of ascii characters only. If scpdata contains other characters,
scpdata is not appended to the kernel boot command line.
In addition, re-IPL is extended for setting scpdata for the next
Linux reboot.
