Pull s390 fixes from Martin Schwidefsky:

 - A fix for the pgtable_bytes misaccounting on s390. The patch changes
   common code part in regard to page table folding and adds extra
   checks to mm_[inc|dec]_nr_[pmds|puds].

 - Add FORCE for all build targets using if_changed

 - Use non-loadable phdr for the .vmlinux.info section to avoid a
   segment overlap that confuses kexec

 - Cleanup the attribute definition for the diagnostic sampling

 - Increase stack size for CONFIG_KASAN=y builds

 - Export __node_distance to fix a build error

 - Correct return code of a PMU event init function

 - An update for the default configs

Change the currently empty defines for __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED,
__PAGETABLE_PUD_FOLDED and __PAGETABLE_P4D_FOLDED to return 1.
This makes it possible to use __is_defined() to test if the
preprocessor define exists.

Prefer _THIS_IP_ defined in linux/kernel.h.

Most definitions of current_text_addr were the same as _THIS_IP_, but
a few archs had inline assembly instead.

This patch removes the final call site of current_text_addr, making all
of the definitions dead code.

The only functional differences (modulo a few missing fixes in the arch
code) is that architectures without coherent caches need a hook to
convert a virtual or dma address into a pfn, given that we don't have
the kernel linear mapping available for the otherwise easy virt_to_page
call.  As a side effect we can support mmap of the per-device coherent
area even on architectures not providing the callback, and we make
previous dangerous default methods dma_common_mmap actually save for
non-coherent architectures by rejecting it without the right helper.

In addition to that we need a hook so that some architectures can
override the protection bits when mmaping a dma coherent allocations.

<title>asm-generic: Remove unneeded __ARCH_WANT_SYS_LLSEEK macro</title>

<id>caf6f9c8a326cffd1d4b3ff3f1cfba75d159d70b</id>
<content type='text'>
The sys_llseek sytem call is needed on all 32-bit architectures and
none of the 64-bit ones, so we can remove the __ARCH_WANT_SYS_LLSEEK guard
and simplify the include/asm-generic/unistd.h header further.

Since 32-bit tasks can run either natively or in compat mode on 64-bit
architectures, we have to check for both !CONFIG_64BIT and CONFIG_COMPAT.

There are a few 64-bit architectures that also reference sys_llseek
in their 64-bit ABI (e.g. sparc), but I verified that those all
select CONFIG_COMPAT, so the #if check is still correct here. It's
a bit odd to include it in the syscall table though, as it's the
same as sys_lseek() on 64-bit, but with strange calling conventions.

<id>82b355d161c9525ab8838cc27d3200bc3bc9082d</id>
<content type='text'>
We have four generations of stat() syscalls:
- the oldstat syscalls that are only used on the older architectures
- the newstat family that is used on all 64-bit architectures but
  lacked support for large files on 32-bit architectures.
- the stat64 family that is used mostly on 32-bit architectures to
  replace newstat
- statx() to replace all of the above, adding 64-bit timestamps among
  other things.

We already compile stat64 only on those architectures that need it,
but newstat is always built, including on those that don't reference
it. This adds a new __ARCH_WANT_NEW_STAT symbol along the lines of
__ARCH_WANT_OLD_STAT and __ARCH_WANT_STAT64 to control compilation of
newstat. All architectures that need it use an explict define, the
others now get a little bit smaller, and future architecture (including
64-bit targets) won't ever see it.

Switch to the generic noncoherent direct mapping implementation.

This removes the direction-based optimizations in
sync_{single,sg}_for_{cpu,device} which were marked untestested and
do not match the usually very well tested {un,}map_{single,sg}
implementations.
