Rework deployment of kernel image for both compressed and
uncompressed variants as defined by CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED
kernel configuration variable.
In case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is disabled avoid uncompressing
the kernel to a temporary buffer and copying it to the target
address. Instead, uncompress it directly to the target destination.
In case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is enabled avoid moving the
kernel to default 0x100000 location when KASLR is disabled or
failed. Instead, use the uncompressed kernel image directly.
In case KASLR is disabled or failed .amode31 section location in
memory is not randomized and precedes the kernel image. In case
CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is disabled that location overlaps the
area used by the decompression algorithm. That is fine, since that
area is not used after the decompression finished and the size of
.amode31 section is not expected to exceed BOOT_HEAP_SIZE ever.
There is no decompression in case CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED is
enabled. Therefore, rename decompress_kernel() to deploy_kernel(),
which better describes both uncompressed and compressed cases.
Introduce AMODE31_SIZE macro to avoid immediate value of 0x3000
(the size of .amode31 section) in the decompressor linker script.
Modify the vmlinux linker script to force the size of .amode31
section to AMODE31_SIZE (the value of (_eamode31 - _samode31)
could otherwise differ as result of compiler options used).
Introduce __START_KERNEL macro that defines the kernel ELF image
entry point and set it to the currrent value of 0x100000.

Since kernel virtual and physical address spaces are
uncoupled the kernel is mapped at the top of the virtual
address space in case KASLR is disabled.
That does not pose any issue with regard to the kernel
booting and operation, but makes it difficult to use a
generated vmlinux with some debugging tools (e.g. gdb),
because the exact location of the kernel image in virtual
memory is unknown. Make that location known and introduce
CONFIG_KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE configuration option.
A custom CONFIG_KERNEL_IMAGE_BASE value that would break
the virtual memory layout leads to a build error.
The kernel image size is defined by KERNEL_IMAGE_SIZE
macro and set to 512 MB, by analogy with x86.

lkp test robot reported unhandled relocation type: R_390_GOTPCDBL, when
kernel is built with -fno-PIE. relocs tool reads vmlinux and handles
absolute relocations. PC relative relocs doesn't need adjustment.
Also, the R_390_GOTPCDBL/R_390_GOTOFF64 relocations are present
currently only when KASAN is enabled.
The following program can create a R_390_GOTPCDBL/R_390_GOTOFF64 reloc
(with fPIE/fPIC).
void funcb(int *b) {
*b = *b + 100;
}
void gen_gotoff(void)
{
int b = 10;
funcb (&b);
}
gcc -c sample.c -fPIC -fsanitize=kernel-address --param asan-stack=1
The above example (built with -fPIC) was linked to one of the
built-in.a (built with -fno-PIE) and checked for correctness with kaslr
enabled. Both the relocs turns out relative and can be skipped.

This 'relocs' tool is copied from the x86 version, ported for s390, and
greatly simplified to remove unnecessary features.
It reads vmlinux and outputs assembly to create a .vmlinux.relocs_64
section which contains the offsets of all R_390_64 relocations which
apply to allocatable sections.
