s390 updates for the 6.4 merge window
- Add support for stackleak feature. Also allow specifying
architecture-specific stackleak poison function to enable faster
implementation. On s390, the mvc-based implementation helps decrease
typical overhead from a factor of 3 to just 25%
- Convert all assembler files to use SYM* style macros, deprecating the
ENTRY() macro and other annotations. Select ARCH_USE_SYM_ANNOTATIONS
- Improve KASLR to also randomize module and special amode31 code
base load addresses
- Rework decompressor memory tracking to support memory holes and improve
error handling
- Add support for protected virtualization AP binding
- Add support for set_direct_map() calls
- Implement set_memory_rox() and noexec module_alloc()
- Remove obsolete overriding of mem*() functions for KASAN
- Rework kexec/kdump to avoid using nodat_stack to call purgatory
- Convert the rest of the s390 code to use flexible-array member instead
of a zero-length array
- Clean up uaccess inline asm
- Enable ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE
- Convert to using CONFIG_FUNCTION_ALIGNMENT and enable
DEBUG_FORCE_FUNCTION_ALIGN_64B
- Resolve last_break in userspace fault reports
- Simplify one-level sysctl registration
- Clean up branch prediction handling
- Rework CPU counter facility to retrieve available counter sets just
once
- Other various small fixes and improvements all over the code
s390/stackleak: provide fast __stackleak_poison() implementation
Provide an s390 specific __stackleak_poison() implementation which is
faster than the generic variant.
For the original implementation with an enforced 4kb stackframe for the
getpid() system call the system call overhead increases by a factor of 3 if
the stackleak feature is enabled. Using the s390 mvc based variant this is
reduced to an increase of 25% instead.
This is within the expected area, since the mvc based implementation is
more or less a memset64() variant which comes with similar results. See
commit 0b77d6701cf8 ("s390: implement memset16, memset32 & memset64").
