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.

Avoid using arch specific implementations of string/memory functions
with KASAN since gcc cannot instrument asm code memory accesses and
many bugs could be missed.

<title>s390/kasan: avoid user access code instrumentation</title>

Kasan instrumentation adds "store" check for variables marked as
modified by inline assembly. With user pointers containing addresses
from another address space this produces false positives.

static inline unsigned long clear_user_xc(void __user *to, ...)
{
	asm volatile(
	...
	: "+a" (to) ...

User space access functions are wrapped by manually instrumented
functions in kasan common code, which should be sufficient to catch
errors. So, we just disable uaccess.o instrumentation altogether.

Follow the common kasan approach:

    "KASan replaces memory functions with manually instrumented
    variants.  Original functions declared as weak symbols so strong
    definitions in mm/kasan/kasan.c could replace them. Original
    functions have aliases with '__' prefix in name, so we could call
    non-instrumented variant if needed."

Introduce compile time check for files which should avoid using .bss
section, because of the following reasons:
- .bss section has not been zeroed yet,
- initrd has not been moved to a safe location and could be overlapping
with .bss section.

With CONFIG_PREEMPT=y there is a possible race in disable_sacf_uaccess.

The new set_fs value needs to be stored the the task structure first,
the control register update needs to be second. Otherwise a preemptive
schedule may interrupt the code right after the control register update
has been done and the next time the task is scheduled we get an incorrect
value in the control register due to the old set_fs setting.
