To be able to use the expoline branches in different assembler
files move the associated macros from entry.S to a new header
nospec-insn.h.

While we are at it make the macros a bit nicer to use.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:

 - Improvements for the spectre defense:
    * The spectre related code is consolidated to a single file
      nospec-branch.c
    * Automatic enable/disable for the spectre v2 defenses (expoline vs.
      nobp)
    * Syslog messages for specve v2 are added
    * Enable CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_VULNERABILITIES and define the attribute
      functions for spectre v1 and v2

 - Add helper macros for assembler alternatives and use them to shorten
   the code in entry.S.

 - Add support for persistent configuration data via the SCLP Store Data
   interface. The H/W interface requires a page table that uses 4K pages
   only, the code to setup such an address space is added as well.

 - Enable virtio GPU emulation in QEMU. To do this the depends
   statements for a few common Kconfig options are modified.

 - Add support for format-3 channel path descriptors and add a binary
   sysfs interface to export the associated utility strings.

 - Add a sysfs attribute to control the IFCC handling in case of
   constant channel errors.

 - The vfio-ccw changes from Cornelia.

 - Bug fixes and cleanups.

when a system call is interrupted we might call the critical section
cleanup handler that re-does some of the operations. When we are between
.Lsysc_vtime and .Lsysc_do_svc we might also redo the saving of the
problem state registers r0-r7:

.Lcleanup_system_call:
[...]
0:      # update accounting time stamp
        mvc     __LC_LAST_UPDATE_TIMER(8),__LC_SYNC_ENTER_TIMER
        # set up saved register r11
        lg      %r15,__LC_KERNEL_STACK

        stg     %r9,24(%r11)            # r11 pt_regs pointer
        # fill pt_regs
        mvc     __PT_R8(64,%r9),__LC_SAVE_AREA_SYNC
---&gt;    stmg    %r0,%r7,__PT_R0(%r9)

The problem is now, that we might have already zeroed out r0.
The fix is to move the zeroing of r0 after sysc_do_svc.

The system call path can be interrupted before the switch back to the
standard branch prediction with BPENTER has been done. The critical
section cleanup code skips forward to .Lsysc_do_svc and bypasses the
BPENTER. In this case the kernel and all subsequent code will run with
the limited branch prediction.

Add CONFIG_EXPOLINE to enable the use of the new -mindirect-branch= and
-mfunction_return= compiler options to create a kernel fortified against
the specte v2 attack.

With CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y all indirect branches will be issued with an
execute type instruction. For z10 or newer the EXRL instruction will
be used, for older machines the EX instruction. The typical indirect
call

	basr	%r14,%r1

is replaced with a PC relative call to a new thunk

	brasl	%r14,__s390x_indirect_jump_r1

The thunk contains the EXRL/EX instruction to the indirect branch

__s390x_indirect_jump_r1:
	exrl	0,0f
	j	.
0:	br	%r1

The detour via the execute type instruction has a performance impact.
To get rid of the detour the new kernel parameter "nospectre_v2" and
"spectre_v2=[on,off,auto]" can be used. If the parameter is specified
the kernel and module code will be patched at runtime.
