<title>KVM: s390: vsie: Avoid injecting machine check on signal</title>

<content type='text'>
The recent XFER_TO_GUEST_WORK change resulted in a situation, where the
vsie code would interpret a signal during work as a machine check during
SIE as both use the EINTR return code.
The exit_reason of the sie64a function has nothing to do with the
kvm_run exit_reason. Rename it and define a specific code for machine
checks instead of abusing -EINTR.
rename exit_reason into sie_return to avoid the naming conflict
and change the code flow in vsie.c to have a separate variable for rc
and sie_return.

s390_handle_damage() ends by calling the non-returning function
disabled_wait() and therefore also never returns. Annotate it with the
__noreturn compiler attribute to improve compiler optimizations.

Remove the unreachable infinite while loop.

In case of an unrecoverable machine check only the machine check interrupt
code is printed to the console before the machine is stopped. This makes
root cause analysis sometimes hard.

Print additional machine check information to make analysis easier.

Convert MACHINE_HAS_... to cpu_has_...() which uses test_facility() instead
of testing the machine_flags lowcore member if the feature is present.

test_facility() generates better code since it results in a static branch
without accessing memory. The branch is patched via alternatives by the
decompressor depending on the availability of the required facility.

Move, rename, and merge the fpu and vx header files. This way fpu header
files have a consistent naming scheme (fpu*.h).

Also get rid of the fpu subdirectory and move header files to asm
directory, so that all fpu and vx header files can be found at the same
location.

Merge internal.h header file into other header files, since the internal
helpers are used at many locations. so those helper functions are really
not internal.
