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.

Pull more s390 updates from Alexander Gordeev:

 - The rework that uncoupled physical and virtual address spaces
   inadvertently prevented KASAN shadow mappings from using large pages.
   Restore large page mappings for KASAN shadows

 - Add decompressor routine physmem_alloc() that may fail, unlike
   physmem_alloc_or_die(). This allows callers to implement fallback
   paths

 - Allow falling back from large pages to smaller pages (1MB or 4KB) if
   the allocation of 2GB pages in the decompressor can not be fulfilled

 - Add to the decompressor boot print support of "%%" format string,
   width and padding hadnling, length modifiers and decimal conversion
   specifiers

 - Add to the decompressor message severity levels similar to kernel
   ones. Support command-line options that control console output
   verbosity

 - Replaces boot_printk() calls with appropriate loglevel- specific
   helpers such as boot_emerg(), boot_warn(), and boot_debug().

 - Collect all boot messages into a ring buffer independent of the
   current log level. This is particularly useful for early crash
   analysis

 - If 'earlyprintk' command line parameter is not specified, store
   decompressor boot messages in a ring buffer to be printed later by
   the kernel, once the console driver is registered

 - Add 'bootdebug' command line parameter to enable printing of
   decompressor debug messages when needed. That parameters allows
   message suppressing and filtering

 - Dump boot messages on a decompressor crash, but only if 'bootdebug'
   command line parameter is enabled

 - When CONFIG_PRINTK_TIME is enabled, add timestamps to boot messages
   in the same format as regular printk()

 - Dump physical memory tracking information on boot: online ranges,
   reserved areas and vmem allocations

 - Dump virtual memory layout and randomization details

 - Improve decompression error reporting and dump the message ring
   buffer in case the boot failed and system halted

 - Add an exception handler which handles exceptions when FPU control
   register is attempted to be set to an invalid value. Remove '.fixup'
   section as result of this change

 - Use 'A', 'O', and 'R' inline assembly format flags, which allows
   recent Clang compilers to generate better FPU code

 - Rework uaccess code so it reads better and generates more efficient
   code

 - Cleanup futex inline assembly code

 - Disable KMSAN instrumention for futex inline assemblies, which
   contain dereferenced user pointers. Otherwise, shadows for the user
   pointers would be accessed

 - PFs which are not initially configured but in standby create only a
   single-function PCI domain. If they are configured later on, sibling
   PFs and their child VFs will not be added to their PCI domain
   breaking SR-IOV expectations.

   Fix that by allowing initially configured but in standby PFs create
   multi-function PCI domains

 - Add '-std=gnu11' to decompressor and purgatory CFLAGS to avoid
   compile errors caused by kernel's own definitions of 'bool', 'false',
   and 'true' conflicting with the C23 reserved keywords

 - Fix sclp subsystem failure when a sclp console is not present

 - Fix misuse of non-NULL terminated strings in vmlogrdr driver

 - Various other small improvements, cleanups and fixes

With the switch to GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES an early call to the sclp subsystem
was added to smp_prepare_cpus(). This will usually succeed since the sclp
subsystem is implicitly initialized early enough if an sclp based console
is present.

If no such console is present the initialization happens with an
arch_initcall(); in such cases calls to the sclp subsystem will fail.
For CPU detection this means that the fallback sigp loop will be used
permanently to detect CPUs instead of the preferred READ_CPU_INFO sclp
request.

Fix this by adding an explicit early sclp_init() call via
arch_cpu_finalize_init().

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many
  indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.

   - "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes
     the page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and
     free zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a
     refcount inc &amp; dec

   - "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to
     use large folios other than PMD-sized ones

   - "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance
     and fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest

   - "mas_anode_descend() related cleanup" from Wei Yang tidies up part
     of the mapletree code

   - "mm: fix format issues and param types" from Keren Sun implements a
     few minor code cleanups

   - "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and
     a test for the mapletree code

   - "mm/vma: make more mmap logic userland testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes continues the work of moving vma-related code into the
     (relatively) new mm/vma.c

   - "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David
     Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the
     page allocator

   - "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan
     Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue.
     It should reduce the amount of unnecessary reading

   - "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng
     addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
     accumulated:

       https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/

     Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE
     memory within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)

   - "selftest/mm: Remove warnings found by adding compiler flags" from
     Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests
     code when optional compiler warnings are enabled

   - "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages" from
     David Hildenbrand tightens the allocator's observance of
     __GFP_HARDWALL

   - "pkeys kselftests improvements" from Kevin Brodsky implements
     various fixes and cleanups in the MM selftests code, mainly
     pertaining to the pkeys tests

   - "mm/damon: add sample modules" from SeongJae Park enhances DAMON to
     estimate application working set size

   - "memcg/hugetlb: Rework memcg hugetlb charging" from Joshua Hahn
     provides some cleanups to memcg's hugetlb charging logic

   - "mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock" from Kairui Song
     removes the global swap cgroup lock. A speedup of 10% for a
     tmpfs-based kernel build was demonstrated

   - "zram: split page type read/write handling" from Sergey Senozhatsky
     has several fixes and cleaups for zram in the area of
     zram_write_page(). A watchdog softlockup warning was eliminated

   - "move pagetable_*_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()" from Kevin
     Brodsky cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations. A rare
     use-after-free race is fixed

   - "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
     simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging
     logic

   - "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up

Pull MM updates from Andrew Morton:
 "The various patchsets are summarized below. Plus of course many
  indivudual patches which are described in their changelogs.

   - "Allocate and free frozen pages" from Matthew Wilcox reorganizes
     the page allocator so we end up with the ability to allocate and
     free zero-refcount pages. So that callers (ie, slab) can avoid a
     refcount inc &amp; dec

   - "Support large folios for tmpfs" from Baolin Wang teaches tmpfs to
     use large folios other than PMD-sized ones

   - "Fix mm/rodata_test" from Petr Tesarik performs some maintenance
     and fixes for this small built-in kernel selftest

   - "mas_anode_descend() related cleanup" from Wei Yang tidies up part
     of the mapletree code

   - "mm: fix format issues and param types" from Keren Sun implements a
     few minor code cleanups

   - "simplify split calculation" from Wei Yang provides a few fixes and
     a test for the mapletree code

   - "mm/vma: make more mmap logic userland testable" from Lorenzo
     Stoakes continues the work of moving vma-related code into the
     (relatively) new mm/vma.c

   - "mm/page_alloc: gfp flags cleanups for alloc_contig_*()" from David
     Hildenbrand cleans up and rationalizes handling of gfp flags in the
     page allocator

   - "readahead: Reintroduce fix for improper RA window sizing" from Jan
     Kara is a second attempt at fixing a readahead window sizing issue.
     It should reduce the amount of unnecessary reading

   - "synchronously scan and reclaim empty user PTE pages" from Qi Zheng
     addresses an issue where "huge" amounts of pte pagetables are
     accumulated:

       https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/cover.1718267194.git.zhengqi.arch@bytedance.com/

     Qi's series addresses this windup by synchronously freeing PTE
     memory within the context of madvise(MADV_DONTNEED)

   - "selftest/mm: Remove warnings found by adding compiler flags" from
     Muhammad Usama Anjum fixes some build warnings in the selftests
     code when optional compiler warnings are enabled

   - "mm: don't use __GFP_HARDWALL when migrating remote pages" from
     David Hildenbrand tightens the allocator's observance of
     __GFP_HARDWALL

   - "pkeys kselftests improvements" from Kevin Brodsky implements
     various fixes and cleanups in the MM selftests code, mainly
     pertaining to the pkeys tests

   - "mm/damon: add sample modules" from SeongJae Park enhances DAMON to
     estimate application working set size

   - "memcg/hugetlb: Rework memcg hugetlb charging" from Joshua Hahn
     provides some cleanups to memcg's hugetlb charging logic

   - "mm/swap_cgroup: remove global swap cgroup lock" from Kairui Song
     removes the global swap cgroup lock. A speedup of 10% for a
     tmpfs-based kernel build was demonstrated

   - "zram: split page type read/write handling" from Sergey Senozhatsky
     has several fixes and cleaups for zram in the area of
     zram_write_page(). A watchdog softlockup warning was eliminated

   - "move pagetable_*_dtor() to __tlb_remove_table()" from Kevin
     Brodsky cleans up the pagetable destructor implementations. A rare
     use-after-free race is fixed

   - "mm/debug: introduce and use VM_WARN_ON_VMG()" from Lorenzo Stoakes
     simplifies and cleans up the debugging code in the VMA merging
     logic

   - "Account page tables at all levels" from Kevin Brodsky cleans up
     and regularizes the pagetable ctor/dtor handling. This results in
     improvements in accounting accuracy

   - "mm/damon: replace most damon_callback usages in sysfs with new

Introduce boot_debug() calls to track memory detection, online ranges,
reserved areas, and allocations (except for VMEM allocations, which are
too frequent). Instead introduce dump_physmem_reserved() function which
prints out full memory tracking information. This helps in debugging
early boot memory handling.
