<title>s390: remove last diag 0x44 caller</title>

<content type='text'>
diag 0x44 is a voluntary undirected yield of a virtual CPU. This has
caused a lot of performance issues in the past.

There is only one caller left, and that one is only executed if diag
0x9c (directed yield) is not present. Given that all hypervisors
implement diag 0x9c anyway, remove the last diag 0x44 to avoid that
more callers will be added.

Worst case that could happen now, if diag 0x9c is not present, is that
a virtual CPU would loop a bit instead of giving its time slice up.

diag 0x44 statistics in debugfs are kept and will always be zero, so
that user space can tell that there are no calls.

Few other crucial memory setup options are already handled in
the startup code. Those values are needed by kaslr and kasan
implementations. "vmalloc" is the last piece required for future
improvements such as early decision on kernel page levels depth required
for actual memory setup, as well as vmalloc memory area access monitoring
in kasan.

<title>s390: enable detection of kernel version from bzImage</title>

<content type='text'>
Extend "parmarea" to include an offset of the version string, which is
stored as 8-byte big endian value.

To retrieve version string from bzImage reliably, one should check the
presence of "S390EP" ascii string at 0x10008 (available since v3.2),
then read the version string offset from 0x10428 (which has been 0
since v3.2 up to now). The string is null terminated.

Could be retrieved with the following "file" command magic (requires
file v5.34):
8 string \x02\x00\x00\x18\x60\x00\x00\x50\x02\x00\x00\x68\x60\x00\x00\x50\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40 Linux S390

<title>arch: replace _BITUL() in kernel-space headers with BIT()</title>

Now that BIT() can be used from assembly code, we can safely replace
_BITUL() with equivalent BIT().

UAPI headers are still required to use _BITUL(), but there is no more
reason to use it in kernel headers.  BIT() is shorter.

This patch adds support for relocating the kernel to a random address.
The random kernel offset is obtained from cpacf, using either TRNG, PRNO,
or KMC_PRNG, depending on supported MSA level.

KERNELOFFSET is added to vmcoreinfo, for crash --kaslr support.

<title>s390/sclp: do not use static sccbs</title>

The sccbs for init/read/sdias/early have to be located below 2 GB, and
they are currently defined as a static buffer.

With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, this
will no longer guarantee the location below 2 GB, so use a dynamic
GFP_DMA allocation instead.

The sclp_early_sccb buffer needs special handling, as it can be used
very early, and by both the decompressor and also the decompressed
kernel. Therefore, a fixed 4 KB buffer is introduced at 0x11000, the
former PARMAREA_END. The new PARMAREA_END is now 0x12000, and it is
renamed to HEAD_END, as it is rather the end of head.S and not the end
of the parmarea.

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.
