Let's just use the generic vmmemmap_alloc_block() function which
always returns initialized memory.

Convert s390 to SPARSEMEM and SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP. We do a select
of SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP since it is configurable. This is because
SPARSEMEM without SPARSEMEM_VMEMMAP gives us a hell of broken
include dependencies that I don't want to fix.

This adds hugetlbfs support on System z, using both hardware large page
support if available and software large page emulation on older hardware.
Shared (large) page tables are implemented in software emulation mode,
by using page->index of the first tail page from a compound large page
to store page table information.

Always use clear_table to initialise page tables. The overlapping
memcpy is just a leftover of a previous version that wasn't fully
converted to clear_table.

Remove BUILD_BUG_ON() in vmem code since it causes build failures if
the size of struct page increases. Instead calculate at compile time
the address of the highest physical address that can be added to the
1:1 mapping.
This supposed to fix a build failure with the page owner tracking leak
detector patches as reported by akpm.
page-owner-tracking-leak-detector-broken-on-s390.patch can be removed
from -mm again when this is merged.

Fix couple of section mismatches. And since we touch the code
anyway change the IPL code to use C99 initializers.

We have seen an oops in an OOM situation, where show_mem tried to
access the struct page of a dcss segment. The vmemmap code has
already created the 1:1 mapping but failed allocating the struct
pages. In the OOM case, show_mem now walks the memory. It uses
pfn_valid to detect if it may access the struct page. In the case
described above, the mapping was established and pfn_valid returned
true. As the struct pages were not allocated, the kernel oopsed.
We have to ensure that we have created the struct pages, before we
add a mapping pointing to the pages.

Currently the vmalloc area starts at a dynamic address depending on
the memory size. There was also an 8MB security hole after the
physical memory to catch out-of-bounds accesses.
We can simplify the code by putting the vmalloc area explicitely at
the top of the kernel mapping and setting the vmalloc size to a fixed
value of 128MB/128GB for 31bit/64bit systems. Part of the vmalloc
area will be used for the vmem_map. This leaves an area of 96MB/1GB
for normal vmalloc allocations.

This provides a noexec protection on s390 hardware. Our hardware does
not have any bits left in the pte for a hw noexec bit, so this is a
different approach using shadow page tables and a special addressing
mode that allows separate address spaces for code and data.
As a special feature of our "secondary-space" addressing mode, separate
page tables can be specified for the translation of data addresses
(storage operands) and instruction addresses. The shadow page table is
used for the instruction addresses and the standard page table for the
data addresses.
The shadow page table is linked to the standard page table by a pointer
in page->lru.next of the struct page corresponding to the page that
contains the standard page table (since page->private is not really
private with the pte_lock and the page table pages are not in the LRU
list).
Depending on the software bits of a pte, it is either inserted into
both page tables or just into the standard (data) page table. Pages of
a vma that does not have the VM_EXEC bit set get mapped only in the
data address space. Any try to execute code on such a page will cause a
page translation exception. The standard reaction to this is a SIGSEGV
with two exceptions: the two system call opcodes 0x0a77 (sys_sigreturn)
and 0x0aad (sys_rt_sigreturn) are allowed. They are stored by the
kernel to the signal stack frame. Unfortunately, the signal return
mechanism cannot be modified to use an SA_RESTORER because the
exception unwinding code depends on the system call opcode stored
behind the signal stack frame.
This feature requires that user space is executed in secondary-space
mode and the kernel in home-space mode, which means that the addressing
modes need to be switched and that the noexec protection only works
for user space.
After switching the addressing modes, we cannot use the mvcp/mvcs
instructions anymore to copy between kernel and user space. A new
mvcos instruction has been added to the z9 EC/BC hardware which allows
to copy between arbitrary address spaces, but on older hardware the
page tables need to be walked manually.

Fix an oops experienced on the Cell architecture when init-time functions,
early_*(), are called at runtime. It alters the call paths to make sure
that the callers explicitly say whether the call is being made on behalf of
a hotplug even, or happening at boot-time.
It has been compile tested on ppc64, ia64, s390, i386 and x86_64.

Virtual memmap support for s390. Inspired by the ia64 implementation.
Unlike ia64 we need a mechanism which allows us to dynamically attach
shared memory regions.
These memory regions are accessed via the dcss device driver. dcss
implements the 'direct_access' operation, which requires struct pages
for every single shared page.
Therefore this implementation provides an interface to attach/detach
shared memory:
int add_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size);
int remove_shared_memory(unsigned long start, unsigned long size);
The purpose of the add_shared_memory function is to add the given
memory range to the 1:1 mapping and to make sure that the
corresponding range in the vmemmap is backed with physical pages.
It also initialises the new struct pages.
remove_shared_memory in turn only invalidates the page table
entries in the 1:1 mapping. The page tables and the memory used for
struct pages in the vmemmap are currently not freed. They will be
reused when the next segment will be attached.
Given that the maximum size of a shared memory region is 2GB and
in addition all regions must reside below 2GB this is not too much of
a restriction, but there is room for improvement.
