Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

 - Add firmware sysfs interface which allows user space to retrieve the
   dump area size of the machine

 - Add 'measurement_chars_full' CHPID sysfs attribute to make the
   complete associated Channel-Measurements Characteristics Block
   available

 - Add virtio-mem support

 - Move gmap aka KVM page fault handling from the main fault handler to
   KVM code. This is the first step to make s390 KVM page fault handling
   similar to other architectures. With this first step the main fault
   handler does not have any special handling anymore, and therefore
   convert it to support LOCK_MM_AND_FIND_VMA

 - With gcc 14 s390 support for flag output operand support for inline
   assemblies was added. This allows for several optimizations:

     - Provide a cmpxchg inline assembly which makes use of this, and
       provide all variants of arch_try_cmpxchg() so that the compiler
       can generate slightly better code

     - Convert a few cmpxchg() loops to try_cmpxchg() loops

     - Similar to x86 add a CC_OUT() helper macro (and other macros),
       and convert all inline assemblies to make use of them, so that
       depending on compiler version better code can be generated

 - List installed host-key hashes in sysfs if the machine supports the
   Query Ultravisor Keys UVC

 - Add 'Retrieve Secret' ioctl which allows user space in protected
   execution guests to retrieve previously stored secrets from the
   Ultravisor

 - Add pkey-uv module which supports the conversion of Ultravisor
   retrievable secrets to protected keys

 - Extend the existing paes cipher to exploit the full AES-XTS hardware
   acceleration introduced with message-security assist extension 10

 - Convert hopefully all sysfs show functions to use sysfs_emit() so
   that the constant flow of such patches stop

 - For PCI devices make use of the newly added Topology ID attribute to
   enable whole card multi-function support despite the change to PCHID
   per port. Additionally improve the overall robustness and usability
   of the multifunction support

 - Various other small improvements, fixes, and cleanups

<title>s390/dasd: fix redundant /proc/dasd* entries removal</title>

In case of an early failure in dasd_init, dasd_proc_init is never
called and /proc/dasd* files are never created.  That can happen, for
example, if an incompatible or incorrect argument is provided to the
dasd_mod.dasd= kernel parameter.

However, the attempted removal of /proc/dasd* files causes 8 warnings
and backtraces in this case.  4 on the error path within dasd_init and
4 when the dasd module is unloaded.  Notice the "removing permanent
/proc entry 'devices'" message that is caused by the dasd_proc_exit
function trying to remove /proc/devices instead of /proc/dasd/devices
since dasd_proc_root_entry is NULL and /proc/devices is indeed
permanent.  Example:

While the cause is a user failure, the dasd module should handle the
situation more gracefully.  One of the simplest solutions is to make
removal of the /proc/dasd* entries idempotent.

Per Documentation/filesystems/sysfs.rst, sysfs_emit() is preferred for
presenting attributes to user space in sysfs. Convert the left-over uses
in the block/dcssblk code.

Extent Space Efficient (ESE) or thin provisioned volumes need to be
formatted on demand during usual IO processing.

The dasd_ese_needs_format function checks for error codes that signal
the non existence of a proper track format.

The check for incorrect length is to imprecise since other error cases
leading to transport of insufficient data also have this flag set.
This might lead to data corruption in certain error cases for example
during a storage server warmstart.

Fix by removing the check for incorrect length and replacing by
explicitly checking for invalid track format in transport mode.

Also remove the check for file protected since this is not a valid
ESE handling case.

<title>s390/dasd: Remove DMA alignment</title>

<id>2a07bb64d80152701d507b1498237ed1b8d83866</id>
<content type='text'>
This reverts commit bc792884b76f ("s390/dasd: Establish DMA alignment").

Quoting the original commit:
    linux-next commit bf8d08532bc1 ("iomap: add support for dma aligned
    direct-io") changes the alignment requirement to come from the block
    device rather than the block size, and the default alignment
    requirement is 512-byte boundaries. Since DASD I/O has page
    alignments for IDAW/TIDAW requests, let's override this value to
    restore the expected behavior.

I mentioned TIDAW, but that was wrong. TIDAWs have no distinct alignment
requirement (per p. 15-70 of POPS SA22-7832-13):

   Unless otherwise specified, TIDAWs may designate
   a block of main storage on any boundary and length
   up to 4K bytes, provided the specified block does not
   cross a 4 K-byte boundary.

IDAWs do, but the original commit neglected that while ECKD DASD are
typically formatted in 4096-byte blocks, they don't HAVE to be. Formatting
an ECKD volume with smaller blocks is permitted (dasdfmt -b xxx), and the
problematic commit enforces alignment properties to such a device that
will result in errors, such as:

   [test@host ~]# lsdasd -l a367 | grep blksz
     blksz:				512
   [test@host ~]# mkfs.xfs -f /dev/disk/by-path/ccw-0.0.a367-part1

   data     =                       bsize=4096   blocks=920299, imaxpct=25
            =                       sunit=0      swidth=0 blks
   naming   =version 2              bsize=4096   ascii-ci=0, ftype=1
   log      =internal log           bsize=4096   blocks=16384, version=2

   realtime =none                   extsz=4096   blocks=0, rtextents=0

   mkfs.xfs: pwrite failed: Invalid argument
   libxfs_bwrite: write failed on (unknown) bno 0x70565c/0x100, err=22
   mkfs.xfs: Releasing dirty buffer to free list!
   found dirty buffer (bulk) on free list!
   mkfs.xfs: pwrite failed: Invalid argument
   ...snipped...

The original commit omitted the FBA discipline for just this reason,
but the formatted block size of the other disciplines was overlooked.
The solution to all of this is to revert to the original behavior,
such that the block size can be respected. There were two commits [1]
that moved this code in the interim, so a straight git-revert is not
possible, but the change is straightforward.

But what of the original problem? That was manifested with a direct-io
QEMU guest, where QEMU itself was changed a month or two later with
commit 25474d90aa ("block: use the request length for iov alignment")
such that the blamed kernel commit is unnecessary.

[1] commit 0127a47f58c6 ("dasd: move queue setup to common code")
    commit fde07a4d74e3 ("dasd: use the atomic queue limits API")

   concurrent per-task and system-wide sampling and counting events

 - Switch to GENERIC_CPU_DEVICES by setting up the CPU present mask in

   bring-up

 - Add support for the diag204 busy indication facility to prevent
   undesirable blocking during hypervisor logical CPU utilization
   queries. Implement results caching

 - Improve the handling of Store Data SCLP events by suppressing
   unnecessary warning, preventing buffer release in I/O during
   failures, and adding timeout handling for Store Data requests to
   address potential firmware issues

 - Provide optimized __arch_hweight*() implementations

 - Remove the unnecessary CPU KOBJ_CHANGE uevents generated during
   topology updates, as they are unused and also not present on other
   architectures

 - Cleanup atomic_ops, optimize __atomic_set() for small values and
   __atomic_cmpxchg_bool() for compilers supporting flag output
   constraint

 - Couple of cleanups for KVM:
     - Move and improve KVM struct definitions for DAT tables from
       gaccess.c to a new header
     - Pass the asce as parameter to sie64a()

 - Make the crdte() and cspg() page table handling wrappers return a
   boolean to indicate success, like the other existing "compare and
   swap" wrappers

 - Add documentation for HWCAP flags

 - Switch to obtaining total RAM pages from memblock instead of
   totalram_pages() during mm init, to ensure correct calculation of
   zero page size, when defer_init is enabled

 - Refactor lowcore access and switch to using the get_lowcore()
   function instead of the S390_lowcore macro
