The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of
instruction to operate on the vector registers.
The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state
program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the
kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context
switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers.
Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added
to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps.

Fix calculation to decide if a 4-level kernel page table is required.
Git commit c972cc60c23f5a63 "s390/vmalloc: have separate modules area"
added the separate module area which reduces the size of the vmalloc
area but fails to take it into account for the 3 vs 4 level page table
decision.

Currently there are two s390 kernel dump config options "CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP"
and "CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP". In order to keep things simple and because the
"CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP" option already has a dependency to "CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP"
remove the CONFIG_ZFCPDUMP option.

There are only two uaccess variants on s390 left: the version that is used
if the mvcos instruction is available, and the page table walk variant.
So there is no need for expensive indirect function calls.
By default the mvcos variant will be called. If the mvcos instruction is not
available it will call the page table walk variant.
For minimal performance impact the "if (mvcos_is_available)" is implemented
with a jump label, which will be a six byte nop on machines with mvcos.

The current memory detection loop will detect all present memory of
a machine. This is true even if the user specified the "mem=" parameter
on the kernel command line.
This can be a problem since the memory detection may cause a fully
populated host page table for the guest, even for those parts of the
memory that the guest will never use afterwards.
So fix this and only detect memory up to a user supplied "mem=" limit
if specified.

When in kdump mode the kernel may access only the first couple of
megabytes for execution, the rest contains the dump. However
the size of the bitmap used by the bootmem allocator was calculated
for the whole amount of memory of the machine.
For very large machines this can lead to the situation that the kdump
kernel will not come up because not enough memory is available.
So fix this and calculate the size of the bitmap only for the piece
of memory that the kdump kernel actually uses.
Call reserve_oldmem() before setup_memory_end() so that the memory_chunk
array already has been updated with respect to oldmem chunks.
Afterwards setup_memory_end() will ignore those chunks.

Allow to generate code that only runs on zEC12 machines.
Also add a check which prevents the kernel to run on machines which
do not have any of the following new facilities installed:
- (48) decimal-floating-point zoned-conversion
- (49) execution-hint
- (49) load-and-trap
- (49) miscellaneous-instruction-extensions
- (49) processor-assist
- (50) constrained transactional-execution
- (73) transactional-execution
48, 49, 50 and 73 are the bit numbers of the facility indications for
each of the required facilities.
Note that we assume that user-space gets compiled with the same
compiler options, therefore we also test for a dfp facility even
if the kernel doesn't make use of it.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly

whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

Setting the cpu restart parameters is done in three different fashions:
- directly setting the four parameters individually
- copying the four parameters with memcpy (using 4 * sizeof(long))
- copying the four parameters using a private structure
In addition code in entry*.S relies on a certain order of the restart
members of struct _lowcore.
Make all of this more robust to future changes by adding a
mem_absolute_assign(dest, val) define, which assigns val to dest
using absolute addressing mode. Also the load multiple instructions
in entry*.S have been split into separate load instruction so the
order of the struct _lowcore members doesn't matter anymore.
In addition move the prototypes of memcpy_real/absolute from uaccess.h
to processor.h. These memcpy* variants are not related to uaccess at all.
string.h doesn't seem to match as well, so lets use processor.h.
Also replace the eight byte array in struct _lowcore which represents a
misaliged u64 with a u64. The compiler will always create code that
handles the misaligned u64 correctly.

* vmcoreinfo
* init function

Define struct pcpu and merge some of the NR_CPUS arrays into it, including
__cpu_logical_map, current_set and smp_cpu_state. Split smp related
functions to those operating on physical cpus and the functions operating
on a logical cpu number. Make the functions for physical cpus use a
pointer to a struct pcpu. This hides the knowledge about cpu addresses in
smp.c, entry[64].S and swsusp_asm64.S, thus remove the sigp.h header.
The PSW restart mechanism is used to start secondary cpus, calling a
function on an online cpu, calling a function on the ipl cpu, and for
the nmi signal. Replace the different assembler functions with a
single function restart_int_handler. The new entry point calls a function
whose pointer is stored in the lowcore of the target cpu and it can wait
for the source cpu to stop. This covers all existing use cases.
Overall the code is now simpler and there are ~380 lines less code.

The kernel address space of a 64 bit kernel currently uses a three level
page table and the vmemmap array has a fixed address and a fixed maximum
size. A three level page table is good enough for systems with less than
3.8TB of memory, for bigger systems four page table levels need to be
used. Each page table level costs a bit of performance, use 3 levels for
normal systems and 4 levels only for the really big systems.
To avoid bloating sparse.o too much set MAX_PHYSMEM_BITS to 46 for a
maximum of 64TB of memory.
