The startup code is getting more complicated with features like kaslr and
secure boot in place. In a potential unexpected startup code crash case
the system would end up in a pgm check loop at address 0, overwriting
pgm check old psw value and just making debugging more complicated. To
avoid that introduce startup program check handler which is active
immediately after kernel start and until early_pgm_check_handler is set
in kernel/early.c. So it covers kernel relocation phase and transition
to it. This pgm check handler simply saves general/control registers and
psw in the save area which should guarantee that we still have something
to look at when standalone dumper is called without saving registers. And
it does disabled wait with a faulty address in the end.

Extend "parmarea" to include an offset of the version string, which is
stored as 8-byte big endian value.
To retrieve version string from bzImage reliably, one should check the
presence of "S390EP" ascii string at 0x10008 (available since v3.2),
then read the version string offset from 0x10428 (which has been 0
since v3.2 up to now). The string is null terminated.
Could be retrieved with the following "file" command magic (requires
file v5.34):
8 string \x02\x00\x00\x18\x60\x00\x00\x50\x02\x00\x00\x68\x60\x00\x00\x50\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40\x40 Linux S390
>0x10008 string S390EP
>>0x10428 bequad >0
>>>(0x10428.Q) string >\0 \b, version %s

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.

The sccbs for init/read/sdias/early have to be located below 2 GB, and
they are currently defined as a static buffer.
With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, this
will no longer guarantee the location below 2 GB, so use a dynamic
GFP_DMA allocation instead.
The sclp_early_sccb buffer needs special handling, as it can be used
very early, and by both the decompressor and also the decompressed
kernel. Therefore, a fixed 4 KB buffer is introduced at 0x11000, the
former PARMAREA_END. The new PARMAREA_END is now 0x12000, and it is
renamed to HEAD_END, as it is rather the end of head.S and not the end
of the parmarea.

Early boot stack uses predefined 4 pages of memory 0x8000-0xC000. This
stack is used to run not instumented decompressor/facilities
verification C code. It doesn't make sense to double its size when
the kernel is built with KASAN support. BOOT_STACK_ORDER is introduced
to avoid that.

Decompressor's head.S provided "data mover" sole purpose of which has
been to safely move uncompressed kernel at 0x100000 and jump to it.
With current bzImage layout entire decompressor's code guaranteed to be
in a safe location under 0x100000, and hence could not be overwritten
during kernel move. For that reason head.S could be replaced with simple
memmove function. To do so introduce early boot code phase which is
executed from arch/s390/boot/head.S after "verify_facilities" and takes
care of optional kernel image decompression and transition to it.

Since the plain vmlinux ELF file no longer carries all necessary parts
for starting up (like the entry point and decompressor), add a check
which would block boot process and encourage users to use bzImage or
arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux instead.
The check relies on s390 linux entry point ABI definition, which is only
present in bzImage and arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux.

Implement uncompressed kernel support (when "None" is picked in kernel
compression mode list). In that case an actual decompression code is
skipped and control is passed from boot/head.S to startup_continue in
kernel/head64.S. To achieve that uncompressed kernel payload is
conditionally put at 0x100000 in bzImage.
In reality this is very close to classic uncompressed kernel "image",
but the decompressor has its own build and link process,
kernel/head64.S lives at 0x100000 rather than at 0x11000, and .bss
section is reused for both stages.
