machine_kexec.c:(.text+0x488): undefined reference to `vmcoreinfo_append_str'
====

On architecutres, like arm, s390, ppc, sh, function
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() is located in machine_kexec.c and it can
only be compiled in when CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE=y.

That's not right because arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo() is used to export
arch specific vmcoreinfo. CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO is supposed to control its
compiling in. However, CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO could be independent of
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE, e.g CONFIG_PROC_KCORE=y will select CONFIG_VMVCORE_INFO.
Or CONFIG_KEXEC/CONFIG_KEXEC_FILE is set while CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP is
not set, it will report linking error.

So, on arm, s390, ppc and sh, move arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo out to
a new file vmcore_info.c. Let CONFIG_VMCORE_INFO decide if compiling in
arch_crash_save_vmcoreinfo().

<title>KVM: s390: vsie: Fix length of facility list shadowed</title>

<content type='text'>
The length of the facility list accessed when interpretively executing
STFLE is the same as the hosts facility list (in case of format-0)
The memory following the facility list doesn't need to be accessible.
The current VSIE implementation accesses a fixed length that exceeds the
guest/host facility list length and can therefore wrongly inject a
validity intercept.
Instead, find out the host facility list length by running STFLE and
copy only as much as necessary when shadowing.

Make machine_kexec.o and relocate_kernel.o depend on
CONFIG_KEXEC_CORE option as other architectures do.

Still generate machine_kexec_reloc.o unconditionally,
since arch_kexec_do_relocs() function is neded by the
decompressor.

<title>s390: add support for user-defined certificates</title>

<id>8cf57d7217c32133d25615324c0ab4aaacf4d9c4</id>
<content type='text'>
Enable receiving the user-defined certificates from the s390x
hypervisor via new diagnose 0x320 calls, and make them available to the
Linux root user as 'cert_store_key' type keys in a so-called
'cert_store' keyring.

New user-space interfaces:

  /sys/firmware/cert_store/refresh

    Writing to this attribute re-fetches certificates via DIAG 0x320

  /sys/firmware/cert_store/cs_status

    Reading from this attribute returns either of:

	  "uninitialized"
	    If no certificate has been retrieved yet
	  "ok"
	    If certificates have been successfully retrieved
	  "failed (&lt;number&gt;)"
	    If certificate retrieval failed with reason code &lt;number&gt;

New debug trace areas:

  /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/cert_store_msg

  /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/cert_store_hexdump

Usage example:

To initiate request for certificates available to the system as root:

  $ echo 1 &gt; /sys/firmware/cert_store/refresh

Upon success the '/sys/firmware/cert_store/cs_status' contains
the value 'ok'.

  $ cat /sys/firmware/cert_store/cs_status
  ok

Get the ID of the keyring 'cert_store':

  $ keyctl search @us keyring cert_store
OR
  $ keyctl link @us @s; keyctl request keyring cert_store

Obtain list of IDs of certificates:

  $ keyctl rlist &lt;cert_store keyring ID&gt;

Display certificate content as hex-dump:

  $ keyctl read &lt;certificate ID&gt;

Read certificate contents as binary data:

  $ keyctl pipe &lt;certificate ID&gt; &gt;cert_data

Display certificate description:

  $ keyctl describe &lt;certificate ID&gt;

The certificate description has the following format:

  &lt;64 bytes certificate name in EBCDIC&gt; ':'
  &lt;certificate index as obtained from hypervisor&gt; ':'
  &lt;certificate store token obtained from hypervisor&gt;

The certificate description in /proc/keys has certificate name
represented in ASCII.

Users can read but cannot update the content of the certificate.

With no in-kernel user, the source files can be merged.

Move all functions and the variable definitions to file perf_cpum_cf.c
This file now contains all the necessary functions and definitions
for the CPU Measurement counter facility device driver.

The files cpu_mcf.h and perf_cpum_cf_common.c are deleted.

That's an adaptation of commit f3a112c0c40d ("x86,rethook,kprobes:
Replace kretprobe with rethook on x86") to s390.

Replaces the kretprobe code with rethook on s390. With this patch,
kretprobe on s390 uses the rethook instead of kretprobe specific
trampoline code.

Pull Kbuild updates from Masahiro Yamada:

 - Remove potentially incomplete targets when Kbuid is interrupted by
   SIGINT etc in case GNU Make may miss to do that when stderr is piped
   to another program.

 - Rewrite the single target build so it works more correctly.

 - Fix rpm-pkg builds with V=1.

 - List top-level subdirectories in ./Kbuild.

 - Ignore auto-generated __kstrtab_* and __kstrtabns_* symbols in
   kallsyms.

 - Avoid two different modules in lib/zstd/ having shared code, which
   potentially causes building the common code as build-in and modular
   back-and-forth.

 - Unify two modpost invocations to optimize the build process.

 - Remove head-y syntax in favor of linker scripts for placing
   particular sections in the head of vmlinux.

 - Bump the minimal GNU Make version to 3.82.

 - Clean up misc Makefiles and scripts.

<title>kbuild: use obj-y instead extra-y for objects placed at the head</title>

The objects placed at the head of vmlinux need special treatments:

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/Makefile adds them to head-y in order to place
   them before other archives in the linker command line.

 - arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile adds them to extra-y instead of
   obj-y to avoid them going into built-in.a.

This commit gets rid of the latter.

Create vmlinux.a to collect all the objects that are unconditionally
linked to vmlinux. The objects listed in head-y are moved to the head
of vmlinux.a by using 'ar m'.

With this, arch/$(SRCARCH)/kernel/Makefile can consistently use obj-y
for builtin objects.

There is no *.o that is directly linked to vmlinux. Drop unneeded code
in scripts/clang-tools/gen_compile_commands.py.

$(AR) mPi needs 'T' to workaround the llvm-ar bug. The fix was suggested
by Nathan Chancellor [1].
