Follow arm64 and riscv and move the EX_TABLE define to asm-extable.h
which is a lot less generic than the current linkage.h.

Also make sure that all files which contain EX_TABLE usages actually
include the new header file. This should make sure that the files
always compile and there won't be any random compile breakage due to
other header file dependencies.

<title>s390: rename dma section to amode31</title>

The dma section name is confusing, since the code which resides within
that section has nothing to do with direct memory access.  Instead the
limitation is that the code has to run in 31 bit addressing mode, and
therefore has to reside below 2GB.  So the name was chosen since
ZONE_DMA is the same region.

To reduce confusion rename the section to amode31, which hopefully
describes better what this is about.

Note: this will also change vmcoreinfo strings
- SDMA=... gets renamed to SAMODE31=...
- EDMA=... gets renamed to EAMODE31=...

<content type='text'>
The functions get_online_cpus() and put_online_cpus() have been
deprecated during the CPU hotplug rework. They map directly to
cpus_read_lock() and cpus_read_unlock().

Replace deprecated CPU-hotplug functions with the official version.
The behavior remains unchanged.

<title>s390/boot: move dma sections from decompressor to decompressed kernel</title>

<id>urn:sha1:6bda667037764e116d7e43654522945f3822a14e</id>
<content type='text'>
This change simplifies the task of making the decompressor relocatable.

The decompressor's image contains special DMA sections between _sdma and
_edma. This DMA segment is loaded at boot as part of the decompressor and
then simply handed over to the decompressed kernel. The decompressor itself
never uses it in any way. The primary reason for this is the need to keep
the aforementioned DMA segment below 2GB which is required by architecture,
and because the decompressor is always loaded at a fixed low physical
address, it is guaranteed that the DMA region will not cross the 2GB
memory limit. If the DMA region had been placed in the decompressed kernel,
then KASLR would make this guarantee impossible to fulfill or it would
be restricted to the first 2GB of memory address space.

This commit moves all DMA sections between _sdma and _edma from
the decompressor's image to the decompressed kernel's image. The complete
DMA region is placed in the init section of the decompressed kernel and
immediately relocated below 2GB at start-up before it is needed by other
parts of the decompressed kernel. The relocation of the DMA region happens
even if the decompressed kernel is already located below 2GB in order
to keep the first implementation simple. The relocation should not have
any noticeable impact on boot time because the DMA segment is only a couple
of pages.

After relocating the DMA sections, the kernel has to fix all references
which point into it. In order to automate this, place all variables
pointing into the DMA sections in a special .dma.refs section. All such
variables must be defined using the new __dma_ref macro. Only variables
containing addresses within the DMA sections must be placed in the new
.dma.refs section.

Furthermore, move the initialization of control registers from
the decompressor to the decompressed kernel because some control registers
reference tables that must be placed in the DMA data section to
guarantee that their addresses are below 2G. Because the decompressed
kernel relocates the DMA sections at startup, the content of control
registers CR2, CR5 and CR15 must be updated with new addresses after
the relocation. The decompressed kernel initializes all control registers
early at boot and then updates the content of CR2, CR5 and CR15
as soon as the DMA relocation has occurred. This practically reverts
the commit a80313ff91ab ("s390/kernel: introduce .dma sections").

<content type='text'>
Switching tracers include instruction patching. To prevent that a
instruction is patched while it's read the instruction patching is done
in stop_machine 'context'. This also means that any function called
during stop_machine must not be traced. Thus add 'notrace' to all
functions called within stop_machine.

Show the full diag statistic table and not just parts of it.

The issue surfaced in a KVM guest with a number of vcpus
defined smaller than NR_DIAG_STAT.

<title>s390/kernel: introduce .dma sections</title>

<content type='text'>
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.

regarding the OS during debugging. The CPNC is explicitly set to 4 to
