Currently, decompression error messages can be very uninformative:
[ 0.029853] startup: read error
[ 0.040507] startup: -- System halted
Improve these messages to make it clear that the error originates from
the decompression code. Additionally, on decompression failures, if
bootdebug is enabled, dump the message ring buffer before halting. This
provides more context for diagnosing startup issues.

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.

Historically calls to __decompress() didn't specify "out_len" parameter
on many architectures including s390, expecting that no writes beyond
uncompressed kernel image are performed. This has changed since commit
2aa14b1ab2c4 ("zstd: import usptream v1.5.2") which includes zstd library
commit 6a7ede3dfccb ("Reduce size of dctx by reutilizing dst buffer
(#2751)"). Now zstd decompression code might store literal buffer in
the unwritten portion of the destination buffer. Since "out_len" is
not set, it is considered to be unlimited and hence free to use for
optimization needs. On s390 this might corrupt initrd or ipl report
which are often placed right after the decompressor buffer. Luckily the
size of uncompressed kernel image is already known to the decompressor,
so to avoid the problem simply specify it in the "out_len" parameter.

Move declarations to appropriate header files. Instead of cryptic
casting directly assign struct vmlinux_info type to _vmlinux_info
linker script variable - wich it actually is.

Since commit 80b6093b55e3 ("kbuild: add -Wundef to KBUILD_CPPFLAGS
for W=1 builds"), building with W=1 detects misuse of #(el)if.
$ make W=1 ARCH=s390 CROSS_COMPILE=s390x-linux-gnu-
[snip]
arch/s390/boot/decompressor.c:28:7: warning: "CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD" is not defined, evaluates to 0 [-Wundef]
28 | #elif CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD
| ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
This issue has been hidden because arch/s390/boot/Makefile overwrites
KBUILD_CFLAGS, dropping -Wundef.
CONFIG_KERNEL_ZSTD is a bool option. #elif defined() should be used.
The line #ifdef CONFIG_KERNEL_BZIP2 is fine, but I changed it for
consistency.

The final kernel image is created by linking decompressor object files with
a startup archive. The startup archive file however does not contain only
optional code and data which can be discarded if not referenced. It also
contains mandatory object data like head.o which must never be discarded,
even if not referenced.
Move the decompresser code and linker script to the boot directory and get
rid of the startup archive so everything is kept during link time.
