ftrace_regs_caller is an alias to ftrace_caller - making ftrace_caller quite heavyweight. Split the function and provide an ftrace_caller implementation which comes with fewer instructions. Especially getting rid of 'stosm' on each function entry should help here, e.g. to have less performance impact on live patched functions.

Add HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_ARGS support similar to commit 02a474ca ("ftrace/x86: Allow for arguments to be passed in to ftrace_regs by default"). s390's ftrace implementation always provides all registers with pt_regs, therefore this is trivial.

Specify HAVE_JUMP_LABEL_BATCH in header file. This allows to make use of the arch_jump_label_transform_queue()/arch_jump_label_transform_apply() mechanism. However unlike on x86, which currently is the only user of this mechanism, the to be patched instructions are still directly modified. The only difference to before is that serialization is only done after all instructions have been modified. This way the number of serialization/synchronization events is reduced.

Introduce a text_poke_sync() similar to what x86 has. This can be used to execute a serializing instruction on all CPUs (including the current one). Note: according to the Principles of Operation an IPI (= interrupt) will already serialize a CPU, however it is better to be explicit. In addition on_each_cpu() makes sure that also the current CPU get serialized - just to make sure that possible preemption can prevent some theoretical case where a CPU will not be serialized. Therefore text_poke_sync() has to be used whenever code got modified, just to avoid to rely on implicit serialization. Also introduce text_poke_sync_lock() which will also disable CPU hotplug, to prevent that any CPU is just going online with a prefetched old version of a modified instruction.

Partially revert commit 4555b9f34296 ("s390/boot: move dma sections from decompressor to decompressed kernel"). This is a prerequisite to allow initialization of virtual memory in decompressor and avoid overwriting of ASCEs in the decompressed kernel otherwise. Since the control registers 2, 5 and 15 are reinitialized in the decompressed kernel again, this change does not prevent relocating of amode31 section in any way.

We often need to figure out what operations were performed in response to an error or availability event. The operations are easily accessible in s390dbf/pci_msg but the events have to be correlated with these from either the kernel log or s390dbf/pci_err.

The cio_ignore list is used to create and maintain the list of devices which is to be ignored by Linux. During boot-time, this list is adjusted and accommodate all the devices which are configured on the HMC interface. Once these devices are accessible, they are then available to Linux and set online. cio_ignore purge function should align with this functionality. But currently, the subchannel associated with the offline-devices are not unregistered during purge. Add an explicit subchannel-unregister function in the purge_fn callback.

Since commit 8256adda ("s390/pci: handle FH state mismatch only on disable") zpci_disable_device() returns -EINVAL when the platform detects an attempt to disable a PCI function that it sees as already disabled. In most situations we want to abort whenever this happens and abort is possible since it either means that the device vanished but we haven't gotten an availability event yet, or the FH got out of sync which should not happen. Unfortunately there is an inconsistency between the LPAR and z/VM hypervisors on whether error events for PCI functions contain an an enabled or a general handle. So under z/VM it can happen that our most up to date function handle is enabled but trying to disable the function results in the aforementioned error. Since recover is designed to be used to recover functions from the error state let's make it robust to this inconsistency by explicitly treating it as a successful disable.

In commit b212921b ("elf: don't use MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE for elf executable mappings") we still leave MAP_FIXED_NOREPLACE in place for load_elf_interp. Unfortunately, this will cause kernel to fail to start with: 1 (init): Uhuuh, elf segment at 00003ffff7ffd000 requested but the memory is mapped already Failed to execute /init (error -17) The reason is that the elf interpreter (ld.so) has overlapping segments. readelf -l ld-2.31.so Program Headers: Type Offset VirtAddr PhysAddr FileSiz MemSiz Flags Align LOAD 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x0000000000000000 0x000000000002c94c 0x000000000002c94c R E 0x10000 LOAD 0x000000000002dae0 0x000000000003dae0 0x000000000003dae0 0x00000000000021e8 0x0000000000002320 RW 0x10000 LOAD 0x000000000002fe00 0x000000000003fe00 0x000000000003fe00 0x00000000000011ac 0x0000000000001328 RW 0x10000 The reason for this problem is the same as described in commit ad55eac7 ("elf: enforce MAP_FIXED on overlaying elf segments").

The objtool warning that the kvm instruction emulation code triggered wasn't very useful: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception in that it helpfully tells you which symbol name it had trouble figuring out the relocation for, but it doesn't actually say what the unknown symbol type was that triggered it all. In this case it was because of missing type information (type 0, aka STT_NOTYPE), but on the whole it really should just have printed that out as part of the message. Because if this warning triggers, that's very much the first thing you want to know - why did reloc2sec_off() return failure for that symbol? So rather than just saying you can't handle some type of symbol without saying what the type _was_, just print out the type number too.

Linus Torvalds authored
The recent change to make objtool aware of more symbol relocation types (commit 24ff6525: "objtool: Teach get_alt_entry() about more relocation types") also added another check, and resulted in this objtool warning when building kvm on x86: arch/x86/kvm/emulate.o: warning: objtool: __ex_table+0x4: don't know how to handle reloc symbol type: kvm_fastop_exception The reason seems to be that kvm_fastop_exception() is marked as a global symbol, which causes the relocation to ke kept around for objtool. And at the same time, the kvm_fastop_exception definition (which is done as an inline asm statement) doesn't actually set the type of the global, which then makes objtool unhappy. The minimal fix is to just not mark kvm_fastop_exception as being a global symbol. It's only used in that one compilation unit anyway, so it was always pointless. That's how all the other local exception table labels are done. I'm not entirely happy about the kinds of games that the kvm code plays with doing its own exception handling, and the fact that it confused objtool is most definitely a symptom of the code being a bit too subtle and ad-hoc. But at least this trivial one-liner makes objtool no longer upset about what is going on.
