The .vmlinux.relocs section is moved in front of the compressed
kernel. The interim section rescue step is avoided as result.

This is a preparatory rework to allow uncoupling virtual
and physical addresses spaces.
Introduce .amode31 section address range AMODE31_START
and AMODE31_END macros for later use.

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%.

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.

Since regular paging structs are initialized in decompressor already
move KASAN shadow mapping to decompressor as well. This helps to avoid
allocating KASAN required memory in 1 large chunk, de-duplicate paging
structs creation code and start the uncompressed kernel with KASAN
instrumentation right away. This also allows to avoid all pitfalls
accidentally calling KASAN instrumented code during KASAN initialization.

Currently several approaches for finding unused memory in decompressor
are utilized. While "safe_addr" grows towards higher addresses, vmem
code allocates paging structures top down. The former requires careful
ordering. In addition to that ipl report handling code verifies potential
intersections with secure boot certificates on its own. Neither of two
approaches are memory holes aware and consistent with each other in low
memory conditions.
To solve that, existing approaches are generalized and combined
together, as well as online memory ranges are now taken into
consideration.
physmem_info has been extended to contain reserved memory ranges. New
set of functions allow to handle reserves and find unused memory.
All reserves and memory allocations are "typed". In case of out of
memory condition decompressor fails with detailed info on current
reserved ranges and usable online memory.

physmem_alloc_range allows to find free memory in specified range. It
should be used for one time allocations only like finding position for
amode31 and vmlinux.
physmem_alloc_top_down can be used just like physmem_alloc_range, but
it also allows multiple allocations per type and tries to merge sequential
allocations together. Which is useful for paging structures allocations.
If sequential allocations cannot be merged together they are "chained",
allowing easy per type reserved ranges enumeration and migration to
memblock later. Extra "struct reserved_range" allocated for chaining are
not tracked or reserved but rely on the fact that both
physmem_alloc_range and physmem_alloc_top_down search for free memory
only below current top down allocator position. All reserved ranges
should be transferred to memblock before memblock allocations are
enabled.
The startup code has been reordered to delay any memory allocations until
online memory ranges are detected and occupied memory ranges are marked as
reserved to be excluded from follow-up allocations.
Ipl report certificates are a special case, ipl report certificates list
is checked together with other memory reserves until certificates are
saved elsewhere.
KASAN required memory for shadow memory allocation and mapping is reserved
as 1 large chunk which is later passed to KASAN early initialization code.

In preparation to extending mem_detect with additional information like
reserved ranges rename it to more generic physmem_info. This new naming
also help to avoid confusion by using more exact terms like "physmem
online ranges", etc.
