clang fails to handle ".if" statements in inline assembly which are heavily
used in the alternatives code.
To work around this remove this code, and enforce that users of
alternatives must specify original and alternative instruction sequences
which have identical sizes. Add a compile time check with two ".org"
statements similar to arm64.
In result not only clang can handle this, but also quite a lot of code can
be removed.

Introduce a text_poke_sync() similar to what x86 has. This can be
used to execute a serializing instruction on all CPUs (including
the current one).
Note: according to the Principles of Operation an IPI (= interrupt)
will already serialize a CPU, however it is better to be explicit. In
addition on_each_cpu() makes sure that also the current CPU get
serialized - just to make sure that possible preemption can prevent
some theoretical case where a CPU will not be serialized.
Therefore text_poke_sync() has to be used whenever code got modified,
just to avoid to rely on implicit serialization.
Also introduce text_poke_sync_lock() which will also disable CPU
hotplug, to prevent that any CPU is just going online with a
prefetched old version of a modified instruction.

With gcc-11, there are a lot of warnings because the facility functions
are accessing lowcore through a null pointer. Fix this by moving the
facility arrays away from lowcore.

Automatically decide between nobp vs. expolines if the spectre_v2=auto
kernel parameter is specified or CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y is set.
The decision made at boot time due to CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y being set
can be overruled with the nobp, nospec and spectre_v2 kernel parameters.

Keep the code for the nobp parameter handling with the code for
expolines. Both are related to the spectre v2 mitigation.

Add the PPA instruction to the system entry and exit path to switch
the kernel to a different branch prediction behaviour. The instructions
are added via CPU alternatives and can be disabled with the "nospec"
or the "nobp=0" kernel parameter. If the default behaviour selected
with CONFIG_KERNEL_NOBP is set to "n" then the "nobp=1" parameter can be
used to enable the changed kernel branch prediction.

To be able to switch off specific CPU alternatives with kernel parameters
make a copy of the facility bit mask provided by STFLE and use the copy
for the decision to apply an alternative.

Add the correct SPDX license to a few more files under arch/s390 and
drivers/s390 which have been missed to far.
The SPDX identifier is a legally binding shorthand, which can be used
instead of the full boiler plate text.

Implement CPU alternatives, which allows to optionally patch newer
instructions at runtime, based on CPU facilities availability.
A new kernel boot parameter "noaltinstr" disables patching.
Current implementation is derived from x86 alternatives. Although
ideal instructions padding (when altinstr is longer then oldinstr)
is added at compile time, and no oldinstr nops optimization has to be
done at runtime. Also couple of compile time sanity checks are done:
1. oldinstr and altinstr must be <= 254 bytes long,
2. oldinstr and altinstr must not have an odd length.
alternative(oldinstr, altinstr, facility);
alternative_2(oldinstr, altinstr1, facility1, altinstr2, facility2);
Both compile time and runtime padding consists of either 6/4/2 bytes nop
or a jump (brcl) + 2 bytes nop filler if padding is longer then 6 bytes.
.altinstructions and .altinstr_replacement sections are part of
__init_begin : __init_end region and are freed after initialization.
