The early boot code contains various open-coded inline assemblies with
exception handling. In order to handle possible exceptions each of them
changes the program check new psw, and restores it.
In order to simplify the various inline assemblies add simple exception
table support: the program check handler is called with a fully populated
pt_regs on the stack and may change the psw and register members. When the
program check handler returns the psw and registers from pt_regs will be
used to continue execution.
The program check handler searches the exception table for an entry which
matches the address of the program check. If such an entry is found the psw
address within pt_regs on the stack is replaced with a fixup address, and
execution continues at the new address.
If no entry is found the psw is changed to a disabled wait psw and
execution stops.
Before entering the C part of the program check handler the address of the
program check new psw is replaced to a minimalistic handler.
This is supposed to help against program check loops. If an exception
happens while in program check processing the register contents of the
original exception are restored and a disabled wait psw is loaded.

Symbol offsets to the KASLR base do not match symbol address in
the vmlinux image. That is the result of setting the KASLR base
to the beginning of .text section as result of an optimization.
Revert that optimization and allocate virtual memory for the
whole kernel image including __START_KERNEL bytes as per the
linker script. That allows keeping the semantics of the KASLR
base offset in sync with other architectures.
Rename __START_KERNEL to TEXT_OFFSET, since it represents the
offset of the .text section within the kernel image, rather than
a virtual address.
Still skip mapping TEXT_OFFSET bytes to save memory on pgtables
and provoke exceptions in case an attempt to access this area is
made, as no kernel symbol may reside there.
In case CONFIG_KASAN is enabled the location counter might exceed
the value of TEXT_OFFSET, while the decompressor linker script
forcefully resets it to TEXT_OFFSET, which leads to a sections
overlap link failure. Use MAX() expression to avoid that.

Since physical and virtual kernel address spaces are uncoupled
the kernel image is not mapped using large segment pages anymore,
which is a regression.
Put the kernel image at the same large segment page offset in
physical memory as in virtual memory. Such approach preserves
the existing number of bits of entropy used for randomization
of the kernel location in virtual memory when KASLR is on.
As result, the kernel is mapped using large segment pages.

When the kernel is built with CONFIG_PIE_BUILD option enabled it
uses dynamic symbols, for which the linker does not allow more
than 64K number of entries. This can break features like kpatch.
Hence, whenever possible the kernel is built with CONFIG_PIE_BUILD
option disabled. For that support of unaligned symbols generated by
linker scripts in the compiler is necessary.
However, older compilers might lack such support. In that case the
build process resorts to CONFIG_PIE_BUILD option-enabled build.
Compile object files with -fPIC option and then link the kernel
binary with -no-pie linker option.
As result, the dynamic symbols are not generated and not only kpatch
feature succeeds, but also the whole CONFIG_PIE_BUILD option-enabled
code could be dropped.

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.

Naresh reported this build error on linux-next:

The reason for the build error is an incorrect/incomplete assertion which

zero or 24 bytes (three entries).
See commit 262b5cae67a6 ("x86/boot/compressed: Move .got.plt entries out of

On s390, currently kernel uses the '-fPIE' compiler flag for compiling
vmlinux. This has a few problems:
- It uses dynamic symbols (.dynsym), for which the linker refuses to
allow more than 64k sections. This can break features which use
'-ffunction-sections' and '-fdata-sections', including kpatch-build
[1] and Function Granular KASLR.
- It unnecessarily uses GOT relocations, adding an extra layer of
indirection for many memory accesses.
Instead of using '-fPIE', resolve all the relocations at link time and
then manually adjust any absolute relocations (R_390_64) during boot.
This is done by first telling the linker to preserve all relocations
during the vmlinux link. (Note this is harmless: they are later
stripped in the vmlinux.bin link.)
Then use the 'relocs' tool to find all absolute relocations (R_390_64)
which apply to allocatable sections. The offsets of those relocations
are saved in a special section which is then used to adjust the
relocations during boot.
(Note: For some reason, Clang occasionally creates a GOT reference, even
without '-fPIE'. So Clang-compiled kernels have a GOT, which needs to
be adjusted.)
On my mostly-defconfig kernel, this reduces kernel text size by ~1.3%.

[3] https://gcc.gnu.org/pipermail/gcc-patches/2023-August/625986.html
Compiler consideration:
Gcc recently implemented an optimization [2] for loading symbols without
explicit alignment, aligning with the IBM Z ELF ABI. This ABI mandates
symbols to reside on a 2-byte boundary, enabling the use of the larl
instruction. However, kernel linker scripts may still generate unaligned
symbols. To address this, a new -munaligned-symbols option has been
introduced [3] in recent gcc versions. This option has to be used with
future gcc versions.
Older Clang lacks support for handling unaligned symbols generated
by kernel linker scripts when the kernel is built without -fPIE. However,
future versions of Clang will include support for the -munaligned-symbols
option. When the support is unavailable, compile the kernel with -fPIE
to maintain the existing behavior.
In addition to it:
move vmlinux.relocs to safe relocation
When the kernel is built with CONFIG_KERNEL_UNCOMPRESSED, the entire
uncompressed vmlinux.bin is positioned in the bzImage decompressor
image at the default kernel LMA of 0x100000, enabling it to be executed
in-place. However, the size of .vmlinux.relocs could be large enough to
cause an overlap with the uncompressed kernel at the address 0x100000.
To address this issue, .vmlinux.relocs is positioned after the
.rodata.compressed in the bzImage. Nevertheless, in this configuration,
vmlinux.relocs will overlap with the .bss section of vmlinux.bin. To
overcome that, move vmlinux.relocs to a safe location before clearing
.bss and handling relocs.
Compile warning fix from Sumanth Korikkar:
When kernel is built with CONFIG_LD_ORPHAN_WARN and -fno-PIE, there are
several warnings:
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.iplt' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.head.text' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.init.text' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
ld: warning: orphan section `.rela.rodata.cst8' from
`arch/s390/kernel/head64.o' being placed in section `.rela.dyn'
Orphan sections are sections that exist in an object file but don't have
a corresponding output section in the final executable. ld raises a
warning when it identifies such sections.
Eliminate the warning by placing all .rela orphan sections in .rela.dyn
and raise an error when size of .rela.dyn is greater than zero. i.e.
Dont just neglect orphan sections.
This is similar to adjustment performed in x86, where kernel is built
with -fno-PIE.

Currently several approaches for finding unused memory in decompressor
are utilized. While "safe_addr" grows towards higher addresses, vmem
code allocates paging structures top down. The former requires careful
ordering. In addition to that ipl report handling code verifies potential
intersections with secure boot certificates on its own. Neither of two
approaches are memory holes aware and consistent with each other in low
memory conditions.
To solve that, existing approaches are generalized and combined
together, as well as online memory ranges are now taken into
consideration.
physmem_info has been extended to contain reserved memory ranges. New
set of functions allow to handle reserves and find unused memory.
All reserves and memory allocations are "typed". In case of out of
memory condition decompressor fails with detailed info on current
reserved ranges and usable online memory.

physmem_alloc_range allows to find free memory in specified range. It
should be used for one time allocations only like finding position for
amode31 and vmlinux.
physmem_alloc_top_down can be used just like physmem_alloc_range, but
it also allows multiple allocations per type and tries to merge sequential
allocations together. Which is useful for paging structures allocations.
If sequential allocations cannot be merged together they are "chained",
allowing easy per type reserved ranges enumeration and migration to
memblock later. Extra "struct reserved_range" allocated for chaining are
not tracked or reserved but rely on the fact that both
physmem_alloc_range and physmem_alloc_top_down search for free memory
only below current top down allocator position. All reserved ranges
should be transferred to memblock before memblock allocations are
enabled.
The startup code has been reordered to delay any memory allocations until
online memory ranges are detected and occupied memory ranges are marked as
reserved to be excluded from follow-up allocations.
Ipl report certificates are a special case, ipl report certificates list
is checked together with other memory reserves until certificates are
saved elsewhere.
KASAN required memory for shadow memory allocation and mapping is reserved
as 1 large chunk which is later passed to KASAN early initialization code.

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.
