The new machine loader on z15 always creates an IPL Report block and
thus sets the IPL_PL_FLAG_IPLSR even when secure boot is disabled. This
causes the wrong message being printed at boot. Fix this by checking for
IPL_PL_FLAG_SIPL instead.

We currently try to shrink a single zone when removing memory.  We use
the zone of the first page of the memory we are removing.  If that
memmap was never initialized (e.g., memory was never onlined), we will
read garbage and can trigger kernel BUGs (due to a stale pointer):

Instead, shrink the zones when offlining memory or when onlining failed.
Introduce and use remove_pfn_range_from_zone(() for that.  We now
properly shrink the zones, even if we have DIMMs whereby

 - Some memory blocks fall into no zone (never onlined)

 - Some memory blocks fall into multiple zones (offlined+re-onlined)

 - Multiple memory blocks that fall into different zones

Drop the zone parameter (with a potential dubious value) from
__remove_pages() and __remove_section().

<title>s390/ftrace: save traced function caller</title>

<id>b4adfe55915d8363e244e42386d69567db1719b9</id>
<content type='text'>
A typical backtrace acquired from ftraced function currently looks like
the following (e.g. for "path_openat"):

arch_stack_walk+0x15c/0x2d8
stack_trace_save+0x50/0x68
stack_trace_call+0x15a/0x3b8
ftrace_graph_caller+0x0/0x1c
0x3e0007e3c98 &lt;- ftraced function caller (should be do_filp_open+0x7c/0xe8)
do_open_execat+0x70/0x1b8
__do_execve_file.isra.0+0x7d8/0x860
__s390x_sys_execve+0x56/0x68
system_call+0xdc/0x2d8

Note random "0x3e0007e3c98" stack value as ftraced function caller. This
value causes either imprecise unwinder result or unwinding failure.
That "0x3e0007e3c98" comes from r14 of ftraced function stack frame, which
it haven't had a chance to initialize since the very first instruction
calls ftrace code ("ftrace_caller"). (ftraced function might never
save r14 as well). Nevertheless according to s390 ABI any function
is called with stack frame allocated for it and r14 contains return
address. "ftrace_caller" itself is called with "brasl %r0,ftrace_caller".
So, to fix this issue simply always save traced function caller onto
ftraced function stack frame.

<title>s390/purgatory: Make sure we fail the build if purgatory has missing symbols</title>

Since we link purgatory with -r aka we enable "incremental linking"
no checks for unresolved symbols are done while linking the purgatory.

This commit adds an extra check for unresolved symbols by calling ld
without -r before running objcopy to generate purgatory.ro.

This will help us catch missing symbols in the purgatory sooner.

Note this commit also removes --no-undefined from LDFLAGS_purgatory
as that has no effect.

The following sequence triggers a kernel stack overflow on s390x:

mount -t tracefs tracefs /sys/kernel/tracing
cd /sys/kernel/tracing
echo function_graph &gt; current_tracer
[crash]

This is because preempt_count_{add,sub} are in the list of traced
functions, which can be demonstrated by:

echo preempt_count_add &gt;set_ftrace_filter
echo function_graph &gt; current_tracer
[crash]

The stack overflow happens because get_tod_clock_monotonic() gets called
by ftrace but itself calls preempt_{disable,enable}(), which leads to a
endless recursion. Fix this by using preempt_{disable,enable}_notrace().

<title>s390/kasan: add KASAN_VMALLOC support</title>

<content type='text'>
Add KASAN_VMALLOC support which now enables vmalloc memory area access
checks as well as enables usage of VMAP_STACK under kasan.

KASAN_VMALLOC changes the way vmalloc and modules areas shadow memory
is handled. With this new approach only top level page tables are
pre-populated and lower levels are filled dynamically upon memory
allocation.

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

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.

ENOTSUP is just an internal kernel error and should never reach
userspace. The return value of the share function is not exported to
userspace, but to avoid giving bad examples let us use EOPNOTSUPP:
