Pull s390 updates from Vasily Gorbik:

 - Add a cpuidle driver with polling and enabled wait states using the
   existing CPU idle infrastructure and idle governor to improve latency
   for frequent sleep/wakeup cycles. Remove the obsolete tick delay
   heuristic and generic arch_needs_cpu() hook. Add the corresponding
   driver entry to MAINTAINERS

 - Add kCFI support using the generic support provided by Clang

 - Enable Clang CONTEXT_ANALYSIS for various architecture code and for
   char, PCI, CIO and virtio drivers. Add required lock annotations,
   exclude unsupported mm helpers and remove conditional PCI locking

 - Fix secure storage access exception handling and reintroduce
   DCACHE_WORD_ACCESS previously removed as a workaround

 - Fix cpum_cf perf crashes when CPUs are brought online while per-task
   events are active. Allocate and remove per-CPU counter data from CPU
   hotplug callbacks

 - Fix a deadlock when an s390dbf debug area is unregistered while one
   of its debugfs files is being written to

 - Fix MVIY_PERCPU() with binutils older than 2.39, where an assembler
   macro silently omitted an instruction needed to repair interrupted
   operations after CPU migration

 - Remove/replace cond_resched() calls which are no-ops with the
   supported s390 preemption models

 - Fix AP queue depth and maximum message length decoding according to
   the architecture. Current hardware is not affected, but future
   hardware could report values which were handled incorrectly

 - Reflect the configured CPU state in cpu_enabled_mask so deconfigured
   CPUs are not presented as available for onlining

 - Restore the vDSO GNU_EH_FRAME program header which was lost when the
   build switched to direct linker invocation, and mark it read-only

 - Add SCLP action qualifiers used by Spyre for card initialization,
   recoverable error and telemetry reporting

 - Move KMSAN interrupt flag helpers out of line to fix
   -Wstatic-in-inline build warnings

 - Use level-specific page table entry accessors for hugetlb entries and
   ptep_get() when accessing crashed kernel memory in kdump

 - Make forced AP bus rescans killable so that a user process blocked
   behind an ongoing scan can still be terminated with SIGKILL

 - Rework pkey ioctl error paths to remove duplicated cleanup code and
   avoid freeing error pointers

 - Allow the protected guest SWIOTLB buffer to be allocated outside the
   first 2GB. Also enable dynamic SWIOTLB growth and the coherent atomic
   pool fallback to improve I/O behavior when the initial pool is
   exhausted

 - Add program check statistics and spinlock contention tracepoints.
   Increase the lockdep chain capacity to keep lockdep enabled for
   complex code paths such as btrfs

 - Simplify IPL, trap and syscall code and remove the obsolete
   unistd_32.h generation entry

<content type='text'>
Instrument arch_spin_lock_wait() with trace_contention_begin() and
trace_contention_end().

These tracepoints are used by lock contention analysis tools such as
perf lock contention to identify contended locks and measure wait times.
Both the generic implementation and powerpc emit the same events from
their spinlock slow path.

Place the tracepoints in arch_spin_lock_wait(), which is only entered
when lock acquisition falls back to the contention path.

<title>s390/checksum: Fix csum_partial() without vector facility</title>

<id>urn:sha1:4bb06b60d982355e22647b3d12d6619419f8c1fa</id>
<content type='text'>
Currently csum_partial() calls csum_copy() with copy=false and dst=NULL.
On machines without the vector facility, csum_copy() falls back to
cksm(dst, ...), causing the checksum to be calculated from address zero
instead of the source buffer.

The VX implementation already checksums data loaded from src. Make the
fallback do the same by passing src to cksm().

Fixes: dcd3e1de9d17 ("s390/checksum: provide csum_partial_copy_nocheck()")

<id>urn:sha1:51746fc082260b0d91fd39315e77cb0863a00136</id>
<content type='text'>
There is no reason to have __ashlti3(), __ashrti3(), and __lshrti3()
implemented in assembler. Convert them all to C, which allows the
compiler to optimize the code if newer instructions allow that.

<title>s390/memmove: Optimize backward copy case</title>

<content type='text'>
memmove() copies byte wise for the backward copy case, when the mvc
instruction cannot be used. This is quite slow, but can be optimized
with the mvcrl instruction, which is available since z15.

Some numbers (measured on a shared z16 LPAR) show that the new
implementation is nearly always faster, except for the non realistic
one and two byte cases:

size    old   new
   1    2ns   3ns
   2    4ns   5ns
   4    5ns   5ns
   8    8ns   5ns
  16   12ns   6ns
  32    8ns   7ns
  64   15ns   7ns
 128   31ns   9ns
 256   64ns  10ns
 512  129ns  18ns
1024  250ns  19ns
2048  498ns  38ns

Convert memset(16|32|64)() from assembler to C, which should make it
easier to read and change, if required. And it allows the compiler to
optimize the code, and use different instructions, except for the used
inline assemblies.
