Implement return_address() and use it instead of __builtin_return_address(n).

__builtin_return_address(n) is not guaranteed to work for n &gt; 0,
therefore implement a private return_address() function which walks
the stack frames and returns the proper return address.

This way we get also rid of a compile warning which gcc 6.1 emits and
look like all other architectures.

We can use debug_pagealloc_enabled() to check if we can map the identity
mapping with 1MB/2GB pages as well as to print the current setting in
dump_stack.

<title>s390/dumpstack: merge all four stack tracers</title>

<id>758d39ebd3d5666edb3b1c339f7f138c349ff8bf</id>
<content type='text'>
We have four different stack tracers of which three had bugs. So it's
time to merge them to a single stack tracer which allows to specify a
call back function which will be called for each step.

This patch changes behavior a bit:

- the "nosched" and "in_sched_functions" check within
  save_stack_trace_tsk did work only for the last stack frame within a
  context. Now it considers the check for each stack frame like it
  should.

- both the oprofile variant and the perf_events variant did save a
  return address twice if a zero back chain was detected, which
  indicates an interrupt frame. The new dump_trace function will call
  the oprofile and perf_events backends with the psw address that is
  contained within the corresponding pt_regs structure instead.

- the original show_trace and save_context_stack functions did already
  use the psw address of the pt_regs structure if a zero back chain
  was detected. However now we ignore the psw address if it is a user
  space address. After all we trace the kernel stack and not the user
  space stack. This way we also get rid of the garbage user space
  address in case of warnings and / or panic call traces.

So this should make life easier since now there is only one stack
tracer left which we can break.

Yet another leftover from the 31 bit era. The usual operation
"y = x &amp; PSW_ADDR_INSN" with the PSW_ADDR_INSN mask is a nop for
CONFIG_64BIT.

Therefore remove all usages and hope the code is a bit less confusing.

Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and
effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no
distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel.

The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before
anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel
shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning
message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit
code. We didn't get any response.

Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's
remove the code.
Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

It always confuses me to see the mixed instruction length code and
interruption code on user space faults, while the message clearly
says it is the interruption code.
So split the value and print both values separately. Also add the ILC
output to the die() message, so thar user and kernel space faults
contain the same information.
