Pull s390 updates from Heiko Carstens:

- Various virtual vs physical address usage fixes

- Fix error handling in Processor Activity Instrumentation device
driver, and export number of counters with a sysfs file

- Allow for multiple events when Processor Activity Instrumentation
counters are monitored in system wide sampling

- Change multiplier and shift values of the Time-of-Day clock source to
improve steering precision

- Remove a couple of unneeded GFP_DMA flags from allocations

- Disable mmap alignment if randomize_va_space is also disabled, to
avoid a too small heap

- Various changes to allow s390 to be compiled with LLVM=1, since
ld.lld and llvm-objcopy will have proper s390 support witch clang 19

- Add __uninitialized macro to Compiler Attributes. This is helpful
with s390's FPU code where some users have up to 520 byte stack
frames. Clearing such stack frames (if INIT_STACK_ALL_PATTERN or
INIT_STACK_ALL_ZERO is enabled) before they are used contradicts the
intention (performance improvement) of such code sections.

- Convert switch_to() to an out-of-line function, and use the generic
switch_to header file

- Replace the usage of s390's debug feature with pr_debug() calls
within the zcrypt device driver

- Improve hotplug support of the Adjunct Processor device driver

- Improve retry handling in the zcrypt device driver

- Various changes to the in-kernel FPU code:

- Make in-kernel FPU sections preemptible

- Convert various larger inline assemblies and assembler files to
C, mainly by using singe instruction inline assemblies. This
increases readability, but also allows makes it easier to add
proper instrumentation hooks

- Cleanup of the header files

- Provide fast variants of csum_partial() and
csum_partial_copy_nocheck() based on vector instructions

- Introduce and use a lock to synchronize accesses to zpci device data
structures to avoid inconsistent states caused by concurrent accesses

- Compile the kernel without -fPIE. This addresses the following
problems if the kernel is compiled with -fPIE:

- It uses dynamic symbols (.dynsym), for which the linker refuses
to allow more than 64k sections. This can break features which
use '-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections', including
kpatch-build and function granular KASLR

- It unnecessarily uses GOT relocations, adding an extra layer of
indirection for many memory accesses

- Fix shared_cpu_list for CPU private L2 caches, which incorrectly were

s390: compile relocatable kernel without -fPIE

On s390, currently kernel uses the '-fPIE' compiler flag for compiling
vmlinux. This has a few problems:

- It uses dynamic symbols (.dynsym), for which the linker refuses to
allow more than 64k sections. This can break features which use
'-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections', including kpatch-build
[1] and Function Granular KASLR.

- It unnecessarily uses GOT relocations, adding an extra layer of
indirection for many memory accesses.

Instead of using '-fPIE', resolve all the relocations at link time and
then manually adjust any absolute relocations (R_390_64) during boot.

This is done by first telling the linker to preserve all relocations
during the vmlinux link. (Note this is harmless: they are later
stripped in the vmlinux.bin link.)

Then use the 'relocs' tool to find all absolute relocations (R_390_64)
which apply to allocatable sections. The offsets of those relocations
are saved in a special section which is then used to adjust the
relocations during boot.

(Note: For some reason, Clang occasionally creates a GOT reference, even
without '-fPIE'. So Clang-compiled kernels have a GOT, which needs to
be adjusted.)

On my mostly-defconfig kernel, this reduces kernel text size by ~1.3%.

[1] https://github.com/dynup/kpatch/issues/1284
[2] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-June/622872.html
[3] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-August/625986.html

Compiler consideration:

Gcc recently implemented an optimization [2] for loading symbols without
explicit alignment, aligning with the IBM Z ELF ABI. This ABI mandates
symbols to reside on a 2-byte boundary, enabling the use of the larl
instruction. However, kernel linker scripts may still generate unaligned
symbols. To address this, a new -munaligned-symbols option has been
introduced [3] in recent gcc versions. This option has to be used with
future gcc versions.

Older Clang lacks support for handling unaligned symbols generated
by kernel linker scripts when the kernel is built without -fPIE. However,
future versions of Clang will include support for the -munaligned-symbols
option. When the support is unavailable, compile the kernel with -fPIE
to maintain the existing behavior.

In addition to it:
move vmlinux.relocs to safe relocation

When the kernel is built with CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED, the entire
uncompressed vmlinux.bin is positioned in the bzImage decompressor
image at the default kernel LMA of 0x100000, enabling it to be executed
in-place. However, the size of .vmlinux.relocs could be large enough to
cause an overlap with the uncompressed kernel at the address 0x100000.
To address this issue, .vmlinux.relocs is positioned after the
.rodata.compressed in the bzImage. Nevertheless, in this configuration,
vmlinux.relocs will overlap with the .bss section of vmlinux.bin. To
overcome that, move vmlinux.relocs to a safe location before clearing
.bss and handling relocs.

Compile warning fix from Sumanth Korikkar:

When kernel is built with CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN and -fno-PIE, there are
several warnings:

ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.iplt' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.head.text' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.init.text' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.rodata.cst8' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'

Orphan sections are sections that exist in an object file but don't have
a corresponding output section in the final executable. ld raises a
warning when it identifies such sections.

Eliminate the warning by placing all .rela orphan sections in .rela.dyn
and raise an error when size of .rela.dyn is greater than zero. i.e.
Dont just neglect orphan sections.

This is similar to adjustment performed in x86, where kernel is built
with -fno-PIE.

- Add machine variable capacity information to /proc/sysinfo.

- Limit the waste of page tables and always align vmalloc area size and
base address on segment boundary.

- Fix a memory leak when an attempt to register interruption sub class
(ISC) for the adjunct-processor (AP) guest failed.

- Reset response code AP_RESPONSE_INVALID_GISA to understandable by
guest AP_RESPONSE_INVALID_ADDRESS in response to a failed
interruption sub class (ISC) registration attempt.

- Improve reaction to adjunct-processor (AP)
AP_RESPONSE_OTHERWISE_CHANGED response code when enabling interrupts
on behalf of a guest.

- Fix incorrect sysfs 'status' attribute of adjunct-processor (AP)
queue device bound to the vfio_ap device driver when the mediated
device is attached to a guest, but the queue device is not passed
through.

- Rework struct ap_card to hold the whole adjunct-processor (AP) card
hardware information. As result, all the ugly bit checks are replaced
by simple evaluations of the required bit fields.

- Improve handling of some weird scenarios between service element (SE)
host and SE guest with adjunct-processor (AP) pass-through support.

- Change local_ctl_set_bit() and local_ctl_clear_bit() so they return
the previous value of the to be changed control register. This is
useful if a bit is only changed temporarily and the previous content
needs to be restored.

- The kernel starts with machine checks disabled and is expected to
enable it once trap_init() is called. However the implementation
allows machine checks early. Consistently enable it in trap_init()
only.

- local_mcck_disable() and local_mcck_enable() assume that machine
checks are always enabled. Instead implement and use
local_mcck_save() and local_mcck_restore() to disable machine checks
and restore the previous state.

- Modification of floating point control (FPC) register of a traced
process using ptrace interface may lead to corruption of the FPC
register of the tracing process. Fix this.

- kvm_arch_vcpu_ioctl_set_fpu() allows to set the floating point
control (FPC) register in vCPU, but may lead to corruption of the FPC
register of the host process. Fix this.

- Use READ_ONCE() to read a vCPU floating point register value from the
memory mapped area. This avoids that, depending on code generation, a
different value is tested for validity than the one that is used.

- Get rid of test_fp_ctl(), since it is quite subtle to use it
correctly. Instead copy a new floating point control register value
into its save area and test the validity of the new value when
loading it.

- Remove superfluous save_fpu_regs() call.

- Remove s390 support for ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT. All machines
provide the vector facility since many years and the need to make the
task structure size dependent on the vector facility does not exist.

- Remove the "novx" kernel command line option, as the vector code runs
without any problems since many years.

- Add the vector facility to the z13 architecture level set (ALS). All
hypervisors support the vector facility since many years. This allows
compile time optimizations of the kernel.

- Get rid of MACHINE_HAS_VX and replace it with cpu_has_vx(). As
result, the compiled code will have less runtime checks and less
code.

- Convert pgste_get_lock() and pgste_set_unlock() ASM inlines to C.

- Convert the struct subchannel spinlock from pointer to member.

Merge tag 'slab-for-6.8' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/vbabka/slab

Pull slab updates from Vlastimil Babka:

- SLUB: delayed freezing of CPU partial slabs (Chengming Zhou)

Freezing is an operation involving double_cmpxchg() that makes a slab
exclusive for a particular CPU. Chengming noticed that we use it also
in situations where we are not yet installing the slab as the CPU
slab, because freezing also indicates that the slab is not on the
shared list. This results in redundant freeze/unfreeze operation and
can be avoided by marking separately the shared list presence by
reusing the PG_workingset flag.

This approach neatly avoids the issues described in 9b1ea29bc0d7
("Revert "mm, slub: consider rest of partial list if acquire_slab()
fails"") as we can now grab a slab from the shared list in a quick
and guaranteed way without the cmpxchg_double() operation that
amplifies the lock contention and can fail.

As a result, lkp has reported 34.2% improvement of
stress-ng.rawudp.ops_per_sec

- SLAB removal and SLUB cleanups (Vlastimil Babka)

The SLAB allocator has been deprecated since 6.5 and nobody has
objected so far. We agreed at LSF/MM to wait until the next LTS,
which is 6.6, so we should be good to go now.

This doesn't yet erase all traces of SLAB outside of mm/ so some dead
code, comments or documentation remain, and will be cleaned up
gradually (some series are already in the works).

Removing the choice of allocators has already allowed to simplify and
optimize the code wiring up the kmalloc APIs to the SLUB
implementation.
