<title>s390: Remove KMSG_COMPONENT macro</title>

<id>c3d17464f0262c9e3c156d4c6306e32cf530fa47</id>

The KMSG_COMPONENT macro is a leftover of the s390 specific "kernel
message catalog" which never made it upstream.

Remove the macro in order to get rid of a pointless indirection. Replace
all users with the string it defines. In almost all cases this leads to a
simple replacement like this:

 - #define KMSG_COMPONENT "appldata"
 - #define pr_fmt(fmt) KMSG_COMPONENT ": " fmt
 + #define pr_fmt(fmt) "appldata: " fmt

Except for some special cases this is just mechanical/scripted work.

Convert all strcpy() usages to strscpy() where the conversion means
just replacing strcpy() with strscpy(). strcpy() is deprecated since
it performs no bounds checking on the destination buffer.

Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Add sorting of mcount locations at build time

 - Rework uaccess functions with C exception handling to shorten inline
   assembly size and enable full inlining. This yields near-optimal code
   for small constant copies with a ~40kb kernel size increase

 - Add support for a configurable STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS which allows to
   generate better code, but also allows to have type checking for debug
   builds

 - Optimize get_lowcore() for common callers with alternatives that
   nearly revert to the pre-relocated lowcore code, while also slightly
   reducing syscall entry and exit time

 - Convert MACHINE_HAS_* checks for single facility tests into cpu_has_*
   style macros that call test_facility(), and for features with
   additional conditions, add a new ALT_TYPE_FEATURE alternative to
   provide a static branch via alternative patching. Also, move machine
   feature detection to the decompressor for early patching and add
   debugging functionality to easily show which alternatives are patched

 - Add exception table support to early boot / startup code to get rid
   of the open coded exception handling

 - Use asm_inline for all inline assemblies with EX_TABLE or ALTERNATIVE
   to ensure correct inlining and unrolling decisions

 - Remove 2k page table leftovers now that s390 has been switched to
   always allocate 4k page tables

 - Split kfence pool into 4k mappings in arch_kfence_init_pool() and
   remove the architecture-specific kfence_split_mapping()

 - Use READ_ONCE_NOCHECK() in regs_get_kernel_stack_nth() to silence
   spurious KASAN warnings from opportunistic ftrace argument tracing

 - Force __atomic_add_const() variants on s390 to always return void,
   ensuring compile errors for improper usage

 - Remove s390's ioremap_wt() and pgprot_writethrough() due to
   mismatched semantics and lack of known users, relying on asm-generic
   fallbacks

 - Signal eventfd in vfio-ap to notify userspace when the guest AP
   configuration changes, including during mdev removal

 - Convert mdev_types from an array to a pointer in vfio-ccw and vfio-ap
   drivers to avoid fake flex array confusion

 - Cleanup trap code

 - Remove references to the outdated linux390@de.ibm.com address

 - Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code

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.

Calling cpumask_next_wrap_old() with starting CPU equal to wrapping CPU
effectively means the request to find next CPU, wrapping around if needed.

cpumask_next_wrap() is the proper replacement for that.

<content type='text'>
The next patch aligns implementation of cpumask_next_wrap() with the
find_next_bit_wrap(), and it changes function signature.

To make the transition smooth, this patch deprecates current
implementation by adding an _old suffix. The following patches switch
current users to the new implementation one by one.

No functional changes were intended.
