Patch all alternatives which depend on facilities from the decompressor.
There is no technical reason which enforces to split patching of such
alternatives to the decompressor and the kernel.
This simplifies alternative handling a bit, since one alternative type is
removed.

The s390 architecture defines two special per-CPU data pages
called the "prefix area". In s390-linux terminology this is usually
called "lowcore". This memory area contains system configuration
data like old/new PSW's for system call/interrupt/machine check
handlers and lots of other data. It is normally mapped to logical
address 0. This area can only be accessed when in supervisor mode.
This means that kernel code can dereference NULL pointers, because
accesses to address 0 are allowed. Parts of lowcore can be write
protected, but read accesses and write accesses outside of the write
protected areas are not caught.
To remove this limitation for debugging and testing, remap lowcore to
another address and define a function get_lowcore() which simply
returns the address where lowcore is mapped at. This would normally
introduce a pointer dereference (=memory read). As lowcore is used
for several very often used variables, add code to patch this function
during runtime, so we avoid the memory reads.
For C code get_lowcore() has to be used, for assembly code it is
the GET_LC macro. When using this macro/function a reference is added
to alternative patching. All these locations will be patched to the
actual lowcore location when the kernel is booted or a module is loaded.
To make debugging/bisecting problems easier, this patch adds all the
infrastructure but the lowcore address is still hardwired to 0. This
way the code can be converted on a per function basis, and the
functionality is enabled in a patch after all the functions have
been converted.
Note that this requires at least z16 because the old lpsw instruction
only allowed a 12 bit displacement. z16 introduced lpswey which allows
20 bits (signed), so the lowcore can effectively be mapped from
address 0 - 0x7e000. To use 0x7e000 as address, a 6 byte lgfi
instruction would have to be used in the alternative. To save two
bytes, llilh can be used, but this only allows to set bits 16-31 of
the address. In order to use the llilh instruction, use 0x70000 as
alternative lowcore address. This is still large enough to catch
NULL pointer dereferences into large arrays.

The nospec implementation is deeply integrated into the alternatives
code: only for nospec an alternative facility list is implemented and
used by the alternative code, while it is modified by nospec specific
needs.
Push down the nospec alternative handling into the nospec by
introducing a new alternative type and a specific nospec callback to
decide if alternatives should be applied.
Also introduce a new global nobp variable which together with facility
82 can be used to decide if nobp is enabled or not.

Rework alternatives to allow for callbacks. With this every
alternative entry has additional data encoded:
- When (aka context) an alternative is supposed to be applied
- The type of an alternative, which allows for type specific handling
and callbacks
- Extra type specific payload (patch information), which can be passed
to callbacks in order to decide if an alternative should be applied
or not
With this only the "late" context is implemented, which means there is
no change to the previous behaviour. All code is just converted to the
more generic new infrastructure.

__apply_alternatives() contains a runtime check which verifies that the
size of the to be patched code area is even. Convert this to a compile time
check using a similar ".org" trick, which is already used to verify that
old and new code areas have the same size.

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.

This is the s390 version of commit 40576e5e63 ("x86: alternative.h:
use asm_inline for all alternative variants").
See commit eb11186930 ("compiler-types.h: add asm_inline
definition") for more details.
With this change the compiler will not generate many out-of-line
versions for the three instruction sized arch_spin_unlock() function
anymore. Due to this gcc seems to change a lot of other inline
decisions which results in a net 6k text size growth according to
bloat-o-meter (gcc 9.2 with defconfig).
But that's still better than having many out-of-line versions of
arch_spin_unlock().

options and make it less likely that something breaks.

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.
