Currently, kernel modules contain their own set of expoline thunks. In
the case of EXPOLINE_EXTERN, this involves postlinking of precompiled
expoline.o. expoline.o is also necessary for out-of-source tree module
builds.
Now that the kernel modules area is less than 4 GB away from
kernel expoline thunks, make modules use kernel expolines. Also make
EXPOLINE_EXTERN the default if the compiler supports it. This simplifies
build and aligns with the approach adopted by other architectures.

Use __ALIGN instead of open coded .align statement to make sure that
external expoline thunks follow global function alignment rules.

Commit 4efd417f298b ("s390: raise minimum supported machine generation
to z10") removed the usage of alternatives and lowcore in expolines
macros. Remove unneeded header includes as well.
With that, expoline.S doesn't require asm-offsets.h and
expoline_prepare target dependency could be removed.

Use local labels in .set directives to avoid potential compile errors
with LTO + clang. See commit 334865b2915c ("x86/extable: Prefer local
labels in .set directives") for further details.
Since s390 doesn't support LTO currently this doesn't fix a real bug
for now, but helps to avoid problems as soon as required pieces have
been added to llvm.

Assembler generated expoline thunks were in a form
__s390_indirect_jump_rXuse_rX when exrl instruction has not been available.
Now with z10 as minimum supported machine generation there
is no need for 2 register thunks, always generate
__s390_indirect_jump_rX versions.

Machine generations up to z9 (released in May 2006) have been officially
out of service for several years now (z9 end of service - January 31, 2019).
No distributions build kernels supporting those old machine generations
anymore, except Debian, which seems to pick the oldest supported
generation. The team supporting Debian on s390 has been notified about
the change.
Raising minimum supported machine generation to z10 helps to reduce
maintenance cost and effectively remove code, which is not getting
enough testing coverage due to lack of older hardware and distributions
support. Besides that this unblocks some optimization opportunities and
allows to use wider instruction set in asm files for future features
implementation. Due to this change spectre mitigation and usercopy
implementations could be drastically simplified and many newer instructions
could be converted from ".insn" encoding to instruction names.

Kernel has full control over how extern thunks generated by
arch/s390/lib/expoline.S look like. Align them to 16 bytes like other
symbols. Also set proper symbols size which is important for tooling.

Currently with -mindirect-branch=thunk and -mfunction-return=thunk compiler
options expoline thunks are put into individual COMDAT group sections. s390
is the only architecture which has group sections and it has implications
for kpatch and objtool tools support.
Using -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and -mfunction-return=thunk-extern
is an alternative, which comes with a need to generate all required
expoline thunks manually. Unfortunately modules area is too far away from
the kernel image, and expolines from the kernel image cannon be used.
But since all new distributions (except Debian) build kernels for machine
generations newer than z10, where "exrl" instruction is available, that
leaves only 16 expolines thunks possible.
Provide an option to build the kernel with
-mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and -mfunction-return=thunk-extern for
z10 or newer. This also requires to postlink expoline thunks into all
modules explicitly. Currently modules already contain most expolines
anyhow.
Unfortunately -mindirect-branch=thunk-extern and
-mfunction-return=thunk-extern options support is broken in gcc <= 11.2.
Additional compile test is required to verify proper gcc support.

Currently assembler generated expoline thunks are always in a form
__s390_indirect_jump_rXuse_rX even when exrl instruction is available
and no additional register is utilized.
Generate __s390_indirect_jump_rX versions using a single register if the
kernel is built for z10 or newer machine, which have exrl instruction
available. Thunks generated are identical to the ones generated by the
compiler.
This helps to reduce the number of thunks for newer machines generations.

This reverts commit 6deaa3bbca80 ("s390: extend expoline to BC
instructions"). Expolines to BC instructions were added to be utilized
by commit de5cb6eb514e ("s390: use expoline thunks in the BPF JIT"). But
corresponding code has been removed by commit e1cf4befa297 ("bpf, s390x:
remove ld_abs/ld_ind"). And compiler does not generate such expolines as
well.
Compared to regular expolines, expolines to BC instructions contain
displacement and all possible variations cannot be generated in advance,
making kpatch support more complicated. So, remove those to avoid
future usages.

The assembler version of the expoline thunk use the naming
__s390x_indirect_jump_rxuse_ry while the compiler generates names
like __s390_indirect_jump_rx_use_ry. Make the naming more consistent.

To avoid a mixture of asm code with expolines and c code without them,
propagate CC_USING_EXPOLINE to KBUILD_AFLAGS and use it to detect
whether asm code should have expolines or not.

The return from the ftrace_stub, _mcount, ftrace_caller and
return_to_handler functions is done with "br %r14" and "br %r1".
These are indirect branches as well and need to use execute
trampolines for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y.
The ftrace_caller function is a special case as it returns to the
start of a function and may only use %r0 and %r1. For a pre z10
machine the standard execute trampoline uses a LARL + EX to do
this, but this requires *two* registers in the range %r1..%r15.
To get around this the 'br %r1' located in the lowcore is used,
then the EX instruction does not need an address register.
But the lowcore trick may only be used for pre z14 machines,
with noexec=on the mapping for the first page may not contain
instructions. The solution for that is an ALTERNATIVE in the
expoline THUNK generated by 'GEN_BR_THUNK %r1' to switch to
EXRL, this relies on the fact that a machine that supports
noexec=on has EXRL as well.

To be able to use the expoline branches in different assembler
files move the associated macros from entry.S to a new header
nospec-insn.h.
While we are at it make the macros a bit nicer to use.
