In case of nested user of the FPU or vector registers in the kernel
the current code uses the mask of the FPU/vector registers of the
previous contexts to decide which registers to save and restore.
E.g. if the previous context used KERNEL_VXR_V0V7 and the next
context wants to use KERNEL_VXR_V24V31 the first 8 vector registers
are stored to the FPU state structure. But this is not necessary
as the next context does not use these registers.
Rework the FPU/vector register save and restore code. The new code
does a few things differently:
1) A lowcore field is used instead of a per-cpu variable.
2) The kernel_fpu_end function now has two parameters just like
kernel_fpu_begin. The register flags are required by both
functions to save / restore the minimal register set.
3) The inline functions kernel_fpu_begin/kernel_fpu_end now do the
update of the register masks. If the user space FPU registers
have already been stored neither save_fpu_regs nor the
__kernel_fpu_begin/__kernel_fpu_end functions have to be called
for the first context. In this case kernel_fpu_begin adds 7
instructions and kernel_fpu_end adds 4 instructions.
3) The inline assemblies in __kernel_fpu_begin / __kernel_fpu_end
to save / restore the vector registers are simplified a bit.

Pull s390 updates from Martin Schwidefsky:
"There are a couple of new things for s390 with this merge request:
- a new scheduling domain "drawer" is added to reflect the unusual
topology found on z13 machines. Performance tests showed up to 8
percent gain with the additional domain.
- the new crc-32 checksum crypto module uses the vector-galois-field
multiply and sum SIMD instruction to speed up crc-32 and crc-32c.
- proper __ro_after_init support, this requires RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA in
the generic vmlinux.lds linker script definitions.
- kcov instrumentation support. A prerequisite for that is the
inline assembly basic block cleanup, which is the reason for the
net/iucv/iucv.c change.
- support for 2GB pages is added to the hugetlbfs backend.
Then there are two removals:
- the oprofile hardware sampling support is dead code and is removed.
The oprofile user space uses the perf interface nowadays.
- the ETR clock synchronization is removed, this has been superseeded
be the STP clock synchronization. And it always has been
"interesting" code..
And the usual bug fixes and cleanups"

The test_fp_ctl function is used to test if a given value is a valid
floating-point control. The inline assembly in test_fp_ctl uses an
incorrect constraint for the 'orig_fpc' variable. If the compiler
chooses the same register for 'fpc' and 'orig_fpc' the test_fp_ctl()
function always returns true. This allows user space to trigger
kernel oopses with invalid floating-point control values on the
signal stack.
This problem has been introduced with git commit 4725c86055f5bbdcdf
"s390: fix save and restore of the floating-point-control register"

Introduce the kernel_fpu_begin() and kernel_fpu_end() function
to enclose any in-kernel use of FPU instructions and registers.
In enclosed sections, you can perform floating-point or vector
(SIMD) computations. The functions take care of saving and
restoring FPU register contents and controls.
For usage details, see the guidelines in arch/s390/include/asm/fpu/api.h

Analog to git commit 0c8c0f03e3a292e031596484275c14cf39c0ab7a
"x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'"
move the struct fpu to the end of the struct thread_struct,
set CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT and add the
setup_task_size() function to calculate the correct size
fo the task struct.
For the performance_defconfig this increases the size of
struct task_struct from 7424 bytes to 7936 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==1)
or 7552 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==0). The dynamic allocation of the
struct fpu is removed. The slab cache uses an 8KB block for the
task struct in all cases, there is enough room for the struct fpu.
For MACHINE_HAS_VX==1 each task now needs 512 bytes less memory.

git commit 904818e2f229f3d94ec95f6932a6358c81e73d78
"s390/kernel: introduce fpu-internal.h with fpu helper functions"
introduced the fpregs_store / fp_regs_load helper. These function
fail to save and restore the floating pointer control registers.
The effect is that the FPC is not correctly handled on signal
delivery and signal return.

To collect the CPU registers of the crashed system allocated a single
page with memblock_alloc_base and use it as a copy buffer. Replace the
stop-and-store-status sigp with a store-status-at-address sigp in
smp_save_dump_cpus() and smp_store_status(). In both cases the target
CPU is already stopped and store-status-at-address avoids the detour
via the absolute zero page.
For kexec simplify s390_reset_system and call store_status() before
the prefix register of the boot CPU has been set to zero. Use STPX
to store the prefix register and remove dump_prefix_page.

Split the API and FPU type definitions into separate header files
similar to "x86/fpu: Rename fpu-internal.h to fpu/internal.h" (78f7f1e54b).
The new header files and their meaning are:
asm/fpu/types.h:
FPU related data types, needed for 'struct thread_struct' and
'struct task_struct'.
asm/fpu/api.h:
FPU related 'public' functions for other subsystems and device
drivers.
asm/fpu/internal.h:
FPU internal functions mainly used to convert
FPU register contents in signal handling.
