There never have been distributions that shiped with CONFIG_SMP=n for
s390. In addition the kernel currently doesn't even compile with
CONFIG_SMP=n for s390. Most likely it wouldn't even work, even if we
fix the compile error, since nobody tests it, since there is no use
case that I can think of.
Therefore simply enforce CONFIG_SMP and get rid of some more or
less unused code.

The assembler code in arch/s390 misses proper ENDPROC statements
to properly end functions in a few places. Add them.

<title>s390: autogenerate compat syscall wrappers</title>

<content type='text'>
Any system call that takes a pointer argument on s390 requires
a wrapper function to do a 31-to-64 zero-extension, these are
currently generated in arch/s390/kernel/compat_wrapper.c.

On arm64 and x86, we already generate similar wrappers for all
system calls in the place of their definition, just for a different
purpose (they load the arguments from pt_regs).

We can do the same thing here, by adding an asm/syscall_wrapper.h
file with a copy of all the relevant macros to override the generic
version. Besides the addition of the compat entry point, these also
rename the entry points with a __s390_ or __s390x_ prefix, similar
to what we do on arm64 and x86. This in turn requires renaming
a few things, and adding a proper ni_syscall() entry point.

In order to still compile system call definitions that pass an
loff_t argument, the __SC_COMPAT_CAST() macro checks for that
and forces an -ENOSYS error, which was the best I could come up
with. Those functions must obviously not get called from user
space, but instead require hand-written compat_sys_*() handlers,
which fortunately already exist.

Increase kasan instrumented kernel stack size from 32k to 64k. Other
architectures seems to get away with just doubling kernel stack size under
kasan, but on s390 this appears to be not enough due to bigger frame size.
The particular pain point is kasan inlined checks (CONFIG_KASAN_INLINE
vs CONFIG_KASAN_OUTLINE). With inlined checks one particular case hitting
stack overflow is fs sync on xfs filesystem:

<title>s390: add support for virtually mapped kernel stacks</title>

<content type='text'>
With virtually mapped kernel stacks the kernel stack overflow detection
is now fault based, every stack has a guard page in the vmalloc space.
The panic_stack is renamed to nodat_stack and is used for all function
that need to run without DAT, e.g. memcpy_real or do_start_kdump.

The main effect is a reduction in the kernel image size as with vmap
stacks the old style overflow checking that adds two instructions per
function is not needed anymore. Result from bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 20/1 grow/shrink: 13/26854 up/down: 2198/-216240 (-214042)

In regard to performance the micro-benchmark for fork has a hit of a
few microseconds, allocating 4 pages in vmalloc space is more expensive
compare to an order-2 page allocation. But with real workload I could
not find a noticeable difference.

With virtually mapped kernel stacks the kernel stack overflow detection
is now fault based, every stack has a guard page in the vmalloc space.
The panic_stack is renamed to nodat_stack and is used for all function
that need to run without DAT, e.g. memcpy_real or do_start_kdump.

The main effect is a reduction in the kernel image size as with vmap
stacks the old style overflow checking that adds two instructions per
function is not needed anymore. Result from bloat-o-meter:

add/remove: 20/1 grow/shrink: 13/26854 up/down: 2198/-216240 (-214042)

In regard to performance the micro-benchmark for fork has a hit of a
few microseconds, allocating 4 pages in vmalloc space is more expensive
compare to an order-2 page allocation. But with real workload I could
not find a noticeable difference.

<title>s390: Correct register corruption in critical section cleanup</title>

In the critical section cleanup we must not mess with r1.  For march=z9
or older, larl + ex (instead of exrl) are used with r1 as a temporary
register. This can clobber r1 in several interrupt handlers. Fix this by
using r11 as a temp register.  r11 is being saved by all callers of
cleanup_critical.

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.
