Git commit 9e34f2686bb088b211b6cac8772e1f644c6180f8
"s390/mm,tlb: tlb flush on page table upgrade fixup" removed the
exception handler for the asce-type exception. This is incorrect
as the user-copy with MVCOS can cause asce-type exceptions in
the kernel if a user pointer is too large. Those need to be
handled with do_no_context to branch to the fixup in the
user-copy code.
The simplest fix for this problem is to call do_dat_exception for
asce-type excpetions, as there is no vma for the address the code
will handle the exception correctly.

The IDTE instruction used to flush TLB entries for a specific address
space uses the address-space-control element (ASCE) to identify
affected TLB entries. The upgrade of a page table adds a new top
level page table which changes the ASCE. The TLB entries associated
with the old ASCE need to be flushed and the ASCE for the address space
needs to be replaced synchronously on all CPUs which currently use it.
The concept of a lazy ASCE update with an exception handler is broken.

Preinitialize the program check table, so we can put it into the
read-only data section.
Also use only four byte entries for the table, since each program
check handler resides within the first 2GB. Therefore this reduces
the size of the table by 50% on 64 bit builds.
