s390/mm: rework arch_get_mappable_range() callback

As per description in mm/memory_hotplug.c platforms should define
arch_get_mappable_range() that provides maximum possible addressable
physical memory range for which the linear mapping could be created.

The current implementation uses VMEM_MAX_PHYS macro as the maximum
mappable physical address and it is simply a cast to vmemmap. Since
the address is in physical address space the natural upper limit of
MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS is honoured:

vmemmap_start = min(vmemmap_start, 1UL << MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS);

Further, to make sure the identity mapping would not overlay with
vmemmap, the size of identity mapping could be stripped like this:

ident_map_size = min(ident_map_size, vmemmap_start);

Similarily, any other memory that could be added (e.g DCSS segment)
should not overlay with vmemmap as well and that is prevented by
using vmemmap (VMEM_MAX_PHYS macro) as the upper limit.

However, while the use of VMEM_MAX_PHYS brings the desired result
it actually poses two issues:

1. As described, vmemmap is handled as a physical address, although
it is actually a pointer to struct page in virtual address space.

2. As vmemmap is a virtual address it could have been located
anywhere in the virtual address space. However, the desired
necessity to honour MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS limit prevents that.

Rework arch_get_mappable_range() callback in a way it does not
use VMEM_MAX_PHYS macro and does not confuse the notion of virtual
vs physical address spacees as result. That paves the way for moving
vmemmap elsewhere and optimizing the virtual address space layout.

Introduce max_mappable preserved boot variable and let function
setup_kernel_memory_layout() set it up. As result, the rest of the
code is does not need to know the virtual memory layout specifics.

s390/boot: rework decompressor reserved tracking

Currently several approaches for finding unused memory in decompressor
are utilized. While "safe_addr" grows towards higher addresses, vmem
code allocates paging structures top down. The former requires careful
ordering. In addition to that ipl report handling code verifies potential
intersections with secure boot certificates on its own. Neither of two
approaches are memory holes aware and consistent with each other in low
memory conditions.

To solve that, existing approaches are generalized and combined
together, as well as online memory ranges are now taken into
consideration.

physmem_info has been extended to contain reserved memory ranges. New
set of functions allow to handle reserves and find unused memory.
All reserves and memory allocations are "typed". In case of out of
memory condition decompressor fails with detailed info on current
reserved ranges and usable online memory.

physmem_alloc_range allows to find free memory in specified range. It
should be used for one time allocations only like finding position for
amode31 and vmlinux.
physmem_alloc_top_down can be used just like physmem_alloc_range, but
it also allows multiple allocations per type and tries to merge sequential
allocations together. Which is useful for paging structures allocations.
If sequential allocations cannot be merged together they are "chained",
allowing easy per type reserved ranges enumeration and migration to
memblock later. Extra "struct reserved_range" allocated for chaining are
not tracked or reserved but rely on the fact that both
physmem_alloc_range and physmem_alloc_top_down search for free memory
only below current top down allocator position. All reserved ranges
should be transferred to memblock before memblock allocations are
enabled.

The startup code has been reordered to delay any memory allocations until
online memory ranges are detected and occupied memory ranges are marked as
reserved to be excluded from follow-up allocations.
Ipl report certificates are a special case, ipl report certificates list
is checked together with other memory reserves until certificates are
saved elsewhere.
KASAN required memory for shadow memory allocation and mapping is reserved
as 1 large chunk which is later passed to KASAN early initialization code.

check_image_bootable() has been introduced with commit 627c9b62058e

problem without realizing they are doing something which was not intended.
Since commit f1d3c5323772 ("s390/boot: move sclp early buffer from fixed

anymore, as well as booting uncompressed vmlinux image in qemu doesn't

s390/mm: add support for RDP (Reset DAT-Protection)

RDP instruction allows to reset DAT-protection bit in a PTE, with less
CPU synchronization overhead than IPTE instruction. In particular, IPTE
can cause machine-wide synchronization overhead, and excessive IPTE usage
can negatively impact machine performance.

RDP can be used instead of IPTE, if the new PTE only differs in SW bits
and _PAGE_PROTECT HW bit, for PTE protection changes from RO to RW.
SW PTE bit changes are allowed, e.g. for dirty and young tracking, but none
of the other HW-defined part of the PTE must change. This is because the
architecture forbids such changes to an active and valid PTE, which
is why invalidation with IPTE is always used first, before writing a new
entry.

The RDP optimization helps mainly for fault-driven SW dirty-bit tracking.
Writable PTEs are initially always mapped with HW _PAGE_PROTECT bit set,
to allow SW dirty-bit accounting on first write protection fault, where
the DAT-protection would then be reset. The reset is now done with RDP
instead of IPTE, if RDP instruction is available.

RDP cannot always guarantee that the DAT-protection reset is propagated
to all CPUs immediately. This means that spurious TLB protection faults
on other CPUs can now occur. For this, common code provides a
flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() handler, which will now be used to do a
CPU-local TLB flush. However, this will clear the whole TLB of a CPU, and
not just the affected entry. For more fine-grained flushing, by simply
doing a (local) RDP again, flush_tlb_fix_spurious_fault() would need to
also provide the PTE pointer.

Note that spurious TLB protection faults cannot really be distinguished
from racing pagetable updates, where another thread already installed the
correct PTE. In such a case, the local TLB flush would be unnecessary
overhead, but overall reduction of CPU synchronization overhead by not
using IPTE is still expected to be beneficial.

s390/mm: start kernel with DAT enabled

The setup of the kernel virtual address space is spread
throughout the sources, boot stages and config options
like this:

1. The available physical memory regions are queried
and stored as mem_detect information for later use
in the decompressor.

2. Based on the physical memory availability the virtual
memory layout is established in the decompressor;

3. If CONFIG_KASAN is disabled the kernel paging setup
code populates kernel pgtables and turns DAT mode on.
It uses the information stored at step [1].

4. If CONFIG_KASAN is enabled the kernel early boot
kasan setup populates kernel pgtables and turns DAT
mode on. It uses the information stored at step [1].

The kasan setup creates early_pg_dir directory and
directly overwrites swapper_pg_dir entries to make
shadow memory pages available.

Move the kernel virtual memory setup to the decompressor
and start the kernel with DAT turned on right from the
very first istruction. That completely eliminates the
boot phase when the kernel runs in DAT-off mode, simplies
the overall design and consolidates pgtables setup.

The identity mapping is created in the decompressor, while
kasan shadow mappings are still created by the early boot
kernel code.

Share with decompressor the existing kasan memory allocator.
It decreases the size of a newly requested memory block from
pgalloc_pos and ensures that kernel image is not overwritten.
pgalloc_low and pgalloc_pos pointers are made preserved boot
variables for that.

Use the bootdata infrastructure to setup swapper_pg_dir
and invalid_pg_dir directories used by the kernel later.
The interim early_pg_dir directory established by the
kasan initialization code gets eliminated as result.

As the kernel runs in DAT-on mode only the PSW_KERNEL_BITS
define gets PSW_MASK_DAT bit by default. Additionally, the
setup_lowcore_dat_off() and setup_lowcore_dat_on() routines
get merged, since there is no DAT-off mode stage anymore.

The memory mappings are created with RW+X protection that
allows the early boot code setting up all necessary data
and services for the kernel being booted. Just before the
paging is enabled the memory protection is changed to
RO+X for text, RO+NX for read-only data and RW+NX for
kernel data and the identity mapping.

s390: support command lines longer than 896 bytes

Currently s390 supports a fixed maximum command line length of 896
bytes. This isn't enough as some installers are trying to pass all
configuration data via kernel command line, and even with zfcp alone
it is easy to generate really long command lines. Therefore extend
the command line to 4 kbytes.

In the parm area where the command line is stored there is no indication
of the maximum allowed length, so a new field which contains the maximum
length is added.

The parm area has always been initialized to zero, so with old kernels
this field would read zero. This is important because tools like zipl
could read this field. If it contains a number larger than zero zipl
knows the maximum length that can be stored in the parm area, otherwise
it must assume that it is booting a legacy kernel and only 896 bytes are
available.

The removing of trailing whitespace in head.S is also removed because
code to do this is already present in setup_boot_command_line().

s390: make PCI mio support a machine flag

Kernel support for the newer PCI mio instructions can be toggled off
with the pci=nomio command line option which needs to integrate with
common code PCI option parsing. However this option then toggles static
branches which can't be toggled yet in an early_param() call.

Thus commit 9964f396f1d0 ("s390: fix setting of mio addressing control")
moved toggling the static branches to the PCI init routine.

With this setup however we can't check for mio support outside the PCI
code during early boot, i.e. before switching the static branches, which
we need to be able to export this as an ELF HWCAP.

Improve on this by turning mio availability into a machine flag that
gets initially set based on CONFIG_PCI and the facility bit and gets
toggled off if pci=nomio is found during PCI option parsing allowing
simple access to this machine flag after early init.

kernel memory layout like ultravisor secure storage limit, complexity
of keeping two things in sync grew up even more.

Besides that if we look forward towards creating identity mapping and
enabling DAT before jumping into uncompressed kernel - that would also
require full knowledge of and control over kernel memory layout.

So, de-duplicate and move kernel memory layout setup logic into
the decompressor.

s390/ipl: make parameter area accessible via struct parmarea

Since commit 9a965ea95135 ("s390/kexec_file: Simplify parmarea
access") we have struct parmarea which describes the layout of the
kernel parameter area.

Make the kernel parameter area available as global variable parmarea
of type struct parmarea, which allows to easily access its members.
