Currently .vmlinux.info section of uncompressed vmlinux elf image is
included into the data segment and load address specified as 0. That
extends data segment to address 0 and makes "text" and "data" segments
overlap.

Later when vmlinux.bin is produced from vmlinux, .vmlinux.info section
is removed. But elf vmlinux file, even though it is not bootable anymore,
used for debugging and loadable segments overlap should be avoided.

Utilize special ":NONE" phdr specification to avoid adding .vmlinux.info
into loadable data segment. Also set .vmlinux.info section type to INFO,
which allows to get a not-loadable info CONTENTS section.

Since minimal supported version of binutils 2.20 does not have
--dump-section objcopy option, make .vmlinux.info section loadable during
info.bin creation to get actual section contents.

According to Documentation/kbuild/makefiles.txt all build targets
using if_changed should use FORCE as well. Add missing FORCE to make
sure vmlinux decompressor targets are rebuild properly when not just
immediate prerequisites have changed but also when build command differs.

Early boot stack uses predefined 4 pages of memory 0x8000-0xC000. This
stack is used to run not instumented decompressor/facilities
verification C code. It doesn't make sense to double its size when
the kernel is built with KASAN support. BOOT_STACK_ORDER is introduced
to avoid that.

<content type='text'>
To lower memory footprint and speed up kasan initialisation detect
EDAT availability and use large pages if possible. As we know how
much memory is needed for initialisation, another simplistic large
page allocator is introduced to avoid memory fragmentation.

Since facilities list is retrieved anyhow, detect noexec support and
adjust pages attributes. Handle noexec kernel option to avoid inconsistent
kasan shadow memory pages flags.

To distinguish zfcpdump case and to be able to parse some of the kernel
command line arguments early (e.g. mem=) ipl block retrieval and command
line construction code is moved to the early boot phase.

"memory_end" is set up correctly respecting "mem=" and hsa_size in case
of the zfcpdump.

arch/s390/boot/string.c is introduced to provide string handling and
command line parsing functions to early boot phase code for the compressed
kernel image case.
