Inline update_timer_idle() again to avoid an extra function call. This
way the generated code is close to old assembler version again.

When the kernel stack pointer is pointing to invalid memory,
a 'Kernel stack overflow' message is printed, which is misleading.
Change the message to actually say that the stack pointer is invalid
instead.

Add ftrace_graph_func() which is required for fprobe to access registers.
This also eliminates the need for calling prepare_ftrace_return() from
ftrace_caller().

<title>s390/switch_to: use generic header file</title>

<content type='text'>
Move the switch_to() implementation to process.c and use the generic
switch_to.h header file instead, like some other architectures.

This addresses also the oddity that the old switch_to() implementation
assigns the return value of __switch_to() to 'prev' instead of 'last',
like it should.

Remove also all includes of switch_to.h from C files, except process.c.

<title>init: consolidate prototypes in linux/init.h</title>

<content type='text'>
The init/main.c file contains some extern declarations for functions
defined in architecture code, and it defines some other functions that are
called from architecture code with a custom prototype.  Both of those
result in warnings with 'make W=1':

init/calibrate.c:261:37: error: no previous prototype for 'calibrate_delay_is_known' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
init/main.c:790:20: error: no previous prototype for 'mem_encrypt_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
init/main.c:792:20: error: no previous prototype for 'poking_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/arm64/kernel/irq.c:122:13: error: no previous prototype for 'init_IRQ' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/arm64/kernel/time.c:55:13: error: no previous prototype for 'time_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
arch/x86/kernel/process.c:935:13: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_post_acpi_subsys_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
init/calibrate.c:261:37: error: no previous prototype for 'calibrate_delay_is_known' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]
kernel/fork.c:991:20: error: no previous prototype for 'arch_task_cache_init' [-Werror=missing-prototypes]

Add prototypes for all of these in include/linux/init.h or another
appropriate header, and remove the duplicate declarations from
architecture specific code.

<content type='text'>
Due to historic reasons the base program check handler calls a
configurable function. Given that there is only the early program
check handler left, simplify the code by directly calling that
function.

The only other user was removed with commit d485235b0054 ("s390:
assume diag308 set always works").

Also rename all functions and the asm file to reflect this.

Follow arm64 and riscv and move the EX_TABLE define to asm-extable.h
which is a lot less generic than the current linkage.h.

Also make sure that all files which contain EX_TABLE usages actually
include the new header file. This should make sure that the files
always compile and there won't be any random compile breakage due to
other header file dependencies.

The memory for amode31 section is allocated from the decompressed
kernel. Instead, allocate that memory from the decompressor. This
is a prerequisite to allow initialization of the virtual memory
before the decompressed kernel takes over.
