Setting a kprobe on getname_flags() failed:

$ echo 'p:tmr1 getname_flags +0(%r2):ustring' > kprobe_events
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Debugging the kprobes code showed that the address of
getname_flags() is contained in the __bug_table. Kprobes
doesn't allow to set probes at BUG() locations.

$ objdump -j __bug_table -x build/fs/namei.o

I was expecting getname_flags() to start with a BUG(), but:

7598: e3 20 10 00 00 04 lg %r2,0(%r1)
759e: c0 f4 00 00 00 00 jg 759e <putname+0x7e>

75b4: b9 04 00 ef lgr %r14,%r15
75b8: e3 f0 ff a8 ff 71 lay %r15,-88(%r15)

So the BUG() is actually the last opcode of the previous function.
Fix this by switching to using the MONITOR CALL (MC) instruction,
and set the entry in __bug_table to the beginning of that MC.

This info makes it apparent that kernel startup failed and might help
to understand what went wrong without actual standalone dump.

Printing code runs on its own stack of 1 page (at unused 0x5000), which
should be sufficient for sclp_early_printk usage (typical stack usage
observed has been around 512 bytes).

The code has pgm check recursion prevention, despite pgm check info
printing failure (follow on pgm check) or success it restores original
faulty psw and gprs and does disabled wait.

s390/startup: add initial pgm check handler

The startup code is getting more complicated with features like kaslr and
secure boot in place. In a potential unexpected startup code crash case
the system would end up in a pgm check loop at address 0, overwriting
pgm check old psw value and just making debugging more complicated. To
avoid that introduce startup program check handler which is active
immediately after kernel start and until early_pgm_check_handler is set
in kernel/early.c. So it covers kernel relocation phase and transition
to it. This pgm check handler simply saves general/control registers and
psw in the save area which should guarantee that we still have something
to look at when standalone dumper is called without saving registers. And
it does disabled wait with a faulty address in the end.

s390: enable detection of kernel version from bzImage

Extend "parmarea" to include an offset of the version string, which is
stored as 8-byte big endian value.

To retrieve version string from bzImage reliably, one should check the
presence of "S390EP" ascii string at 0x10008 (available since v3.2),
then read the version string offset from 0x10428 (which has been 0
since v3.2 up to now). The string is null terminated.

Could be retrieved with the following "file" command magic (requires
file v5.34):
8 string \x02\x00\x00\x18\x60\x00\x00\x50\x02\x00\x00\x68\x60\x00\x00\x50\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40 Linux S390

s390/kernel: introduce .dma sections

With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, code
and data that has to stay below 2 GB needs special handling.

This patch introduces .dma sections for such text, data and ex_table.
The sections will be part of the decompressor kernel, so they will not
be relocated and stay below 2 GB. Their location is passed over to the
decompressed / relocated kernel via the .boot.preserved.data section.

The duald and aste for control register setup also need to stay below
2 GB, so move the setup code from arch/s390/kernel/head64.S to
arch/s390/boot/head.S. The duct and linkage_stack could reside above
2 GB, but their content has to be preserved for the decompresed kernel,
so they are also moved into the .dma section.

The start and end address of the .dma sections is added to vmcoreinfo,
for crash support, to help debugging in case the kernel crashed there.

s390/sclp: do not use static sccbs

The sccbs for init/read/sdias/early have to be located below 2 GB, and
they are currently defined as a static buffer.

With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, this
will no longer guarantee the location below 2 GB, so use a dynamic
GFP_DMA allocation instead.

The sclp_early_sccb buffer needs special handling, as it can be used
very early, and by both the decompressor and also the decompressed
kernel. Therefore, a fixed 4 KB buffer is introduced at 0x11000, the
former PARMAREA_END. The new PARMAREA_END is now 0x12000, and it is
renamed to HEAD_END, as it is rather the end of head.S and not the end
of the parmarea.

Implement uncompressed kernel support (when "None" is picked in kernel

conditionally put at 0x100000 in bzImage.

In reality this is very close to classic uncompressed kernel "image",
but the decompressor has its own build and link process,
kernel/head64.S lives at 0x100000 rather than at 0x11000, and .bss
section is reused for both stages.

s390: fix __EMIT_BUG() macro

Setting a kprobe on getname_flags() failed:

$ echo 'p:tmr1 getname_flags +0(%r2):ustring' > kprobe_events
-bash: echo: write error: Invalid argument

Debugging the kprobes code showed that the address of
getname_flags() is contained in the __bug_table. Kprobes
doesn't allow to set probes at BUG() locations.

$ objdump -j __bug_table -x build/fs/namei.o
[..]

000000000000010c R_390_PC32 .L223+0x0000000000000004

I was expecting getname_flags() to start with a BUG(), but:

7598: e3 20 10 00 00 04 lg %r2,0(%r1)
759e: c0 f4 00 00 00 00 jg 759e <putname+0x7e>

75b4: b9 04 00 ef lgr %r14,%r15
75b8: e3 f0 ff a8 ff 71 lay %r15,-88(%r15)

So the BUG() is actually the last opcode of the previous function.
Fix this by switching to using the MONITOR CALL (MC) instruction,
and set the entry in __bug_table to the beginning of that MC.

This info makes it apparent that kernel startup failed and might help
to understand what went wrong without actual standalone dump.

Printing code runs on its own stack of 1 page (at unused 0x5000), which
should be sufficient for sclp_early_printk usage (typical stack usage
observed has been around 512 bytes).

The code has pgm check recursion prevention, despite pgm check info
printing failure (follow on pgm check) or success it restores original
faulty psw and gprs and does disabled wait.

s390/startup: add initial pgm check handler

The startup code is getting more complicated with features like kaslr and
secure boot in place. In a potential unexpected startup code crash case
the system would end up in a pgm check loop at address 0, overwriting
pgm check old psw value and just making debugging more complicated. To
avoid that introduce startup program check handler which is active
immediately after kernel start and until early_pgm_check_handler is set
in kernel/early.c. So it covers kernel relocation phase and transition
to it. This pgm check handler simply saves general/control registers and
psw in the save area which should guarantee that we still have something
to look at when standalone dumper is called without saving registers. And
it does disabled wait with a faulty address in the end.

s390: enable detection of kernel version from bzImage

Extend "parmarea" to include an offset of the version string, which is
stored as 8-byte big endian value.

To retrieve version string from bzImage reliably, one should check the
presence of "S390EP" ascii string at 0x10008 (available since v3.2),
then read the version string offset from 0x10428 (which has been 0
since v3.2 up to now). The string is null terminated.

Could be retrieved with the following "file" command magic (requires
file v5.34):
8 string \x02\x00\x00\x18\x60\x00\x00\x50\x02\x00\x00\x68\x60\x00\x00\x50\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40 Linux S390

s390/kernel: introduce .dma sections

With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, code
and data that has to stay below 2 GB needs special handling.

This patch introduces .dma sections for such text, data and ex_table.
The sections will be part of the decompressor kernel, so they will not
be relocated and stay below 2 GB. Their location is passed over to the
decompressed / relocated kernel via the .boot.preserved.data section.

The duald and aste for control register setup also need to stay below
2 GB, so move the setup code from arch/s390/kernel/head64.S to
arch/s390/boot/head.S. The duct and linkage_stack could reside above
2 GB, but their content has to be preserved for the decompresed kernel,
so they are also moved into the .dma section.

The start and end address of the .dma sections is added to vmcoreinfo,
for crash support, to help debugging in case the kernel crashed there.

s390/sclp: do not use static sccbs

The sccbs for init/read/sdias/early have to be located below 2 GB, and
they are currently defined as a static buffer.

With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, this
will no longer guarantee the location below 2 GB, so use a dynamic
GFP_DMA allocation instead.

The sclp_early_sccb buffer needs special handling, as it can be used
very early, and by both the decompressor and also the decompressed
kernel. Therefore, a fixed 4 KB buffer is introduced at 0x11000, the
former PARMAREA_END. The new PARMAREA_END is now 0x12000, and it is
renamed to HEAD_END, as it is rather the end of head.S and not the end
of the parmarea.
