Pull more s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

- A couple of virtual vs physical address confusion fixes

- Rework locking in dcssblk driver to address a lockdep warning

- Remove support for "noexec" kernel command line option since there is
no use case where it would make sense

- Simplify kernel mapping setup and get rid of quite a bit of code

- Add architecture specific __set_memory_yy() functions which allow us
to modify kernel mappings. Unlike the set_memory_xx() variants they
take void pointer start and end parameters, which allows using them
without the usual casts, and also to use them on areas larger than
8TB.

Note that the set_memory_xx() family comes with an int num_pages
parameter which overflows with 8TB. This could be addressed by
changing the num_pages parameter to unsigned long, however requires
to change all architectures, since the module code expects an int
parameter (see module_set_memory()).

This was indeed an issue since for debug_pagealloc() we call
set_memory_4k() on the whole identity mapping. Therefore address this
for now with the __set_memory_yy() variant, and address common code
later

- Use dev_set_name() and also fix memory leak in zcrypt driver error
handling

- Remove unused lsi_mask from airq_struct

- Add warning for invalid kernel mapping requests

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.

s390/boot: remove non-functioning image bootable check

check_image_bootable() has been introduced with commit 627c9b62058e
("s390/boot: block uncompressed vmlinux booting attempts") to make sure
that users don't try to boot uncompressed vmlinux ELF image in qemu. It
used to be possible quite some time ago. That commit prevented confusion
with uncompressed vmlinux image starting to boot and even printing
kernel messages until it crashed. Users might have tried to report the
problem without realizing they are doing something which was not intended.
Since commit f1d3c5323772 ("s390/boot: move sclp early buffer from fixed
address in asm to C") check_image_bootable() doesn't function properly
anymore, as well as booting uncompressed vmlinux image in qemu doesn't
really produce any output and crashes. Moving forward it doesn't make
sense to fix check_image_bootable() anymore, so simply remove it.
