Introduce a global function that jumps from the decompressor to the
decompressed kernel. Put its address into svc_old_psw, from where GDB
can take it without loading decompressor symbols. It should be
available throughout the entire decompressor execution, because it's
placed there statically, and nothing in the decompressor uses the SVC
instruction.

Files in the arch/s390/boot directory reuse logic from the rest of the
kernel by including certain C and assembly files from the kernel and lib
directories. Some of these included files contain EXPORT_SYMBOL directives.
For instance, arch/s390/boot/cmdline.c includes lib/cmdline.c, which
exports the get_option() function.
This inclusion triggers genksyms processing for the files in
arch/s390/boot, which is unnecessary and slows down the build.
Additionally, when KBUILD_SYMTYPES=1 is set, the generated symtypes data
contain exported symbols that are duplicated with the main kernel. This
duplication can confuse external kABI tools that process the symtypes data.
Address this issue by compiling the files in arch/s390/boot with
-D__DISABLE_EXPORTS.

While the GCC and Clang compilers already define __ASSEMBLER__
automatically when compiling assembler code, __ASSEMBLY__ is a
macro that only gets defined by the Makefiles in the kernel.
This is bad since macros starting with two underscores are names
that are reserved by the C language. It can also be very confusing
for the developers when switching between userspace and kernelspace
coding, or when dealing with uapi headers that rather should use
__ASSEMBLER__ instead. So let's now standardize on the __ASSEMBLER__
macro that is provided by the compilers.
This is a completely mechanical patch (done with a simple "sed -i"
statement), with some manual fixups done later while rebasing the
patch.

The s390 specific diag288_wdt watchdog driver makes use of the virtual
watchdog timer, which is available in most machine configurations.
If executing the diagnose instruction with subcode 0x288 results in an
exception the watchdog timer is not available, otherwise it is available.
In order to allow module autoload of the diag288_wdt module, move the
detection of the virtual watchdog timer to early boot code, and provide
its availability as a cpu feature.
This allows to make use of module_cpu_feature_match() to automatically load
the module iff the virtual watchdog timer is available.

Use asm_inline for all inline assemblies which make use of the EX_TABLE or
ALTERNATIVE macros.
These macros expand to many lines and the compiler assumes the number of
lines within an inline assembly is the same as the number of instructions
within an inline assembly. This has an effect on inlining and loop
unrolling decisions.
In order to avoid incorrect assumptions use asm_inline, which tells the
compiler that an inline assembly has the smallest possible size.
In order to avoid confusion when asm_inline should be used or not, since a
couple of inline assemblies are quite large: the rule is to always use
asm_inline whenever the EX_TABLE or ALTERNATIVE macro is used. In specific
cases there may be reasons to not follow this guideline, but that should
be documented with the corresponding code.
Using the inline qualifier everywhere has only a small effect on the kernel
image size:
add/remove: 0/10 grow/shrink: 19/8 up/down: 1492/-1858 (-366)
The only location where this seems to matter is load_unaligned_zeropad()
from word-at-a-time.h where the compiler inlines more functions within the
dcache code, which is indeed code where performance matters.

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.

Similar to x86 and loongarch add a "debug-alternative" command line
parameter, which allows for alternative debugging. The parameter
itself comes with architecture specific semantics:
"debug-alternative"
-> print debug message for every single alternative
"debug-alternative=0;2"
-> print debug message for all alternatives with type 0 and 2
"debug-alternative=0:0-7"
-> print debug message for all alternatives with type 0 which have a
facility number within the range of 0-7
"debug-alternative=0:!8;1"
-> print debug message for all alternatives with type 0, for all
facility numbers, except facility 8, and in addition print all
alternatives with type 1
A defconfig build currently results in a kernel with more than 20.000
alternatives, where the majority is for the niai alternative (spinlocks),
and the relocated lowcore alternative. The following kernel command like
options limit alternative debug output, and enable dynamic debug messages:
debug-alternative=0:!49;1:!0
earlyprintk
bootdebug
ignore_loglevel
loglevel=8
dyndbg="file alternative.c +p"
This results in output like this:
alt: [0/ 11] 0000021b9ce8680c: c0f400000089 -> c00400000000
alt: [0/ 64] 0000021b9ce87e60: c0f400000043 -> c00400000000
alt: [0/133] 0000021b9ce88c56: c0f400000027 -> c00400000000
alt: [0/ 74] 0000021b9ce89410: c0f40000002a -> c00400000000
alt: [0/ 40] 0000021b9dc3720a: 47000000 -> b280d398
alt: [0/193] 0000021b9dc37306: 47000000 -> b201d2b0
alt: [0/193] 0000021b9dc37354: c00400000000 -> d20720c0d2b0
alt: [1/ 5] 0000038d720d7bf2: c0f400000016 -> c00400000000
With
[<alternative type>/<alternative data>] <address> oldcode -> newcode
Alternative data depends on the alternative type: for type 0
(ALT_TYPE_FACILITY) data is the facility. For type 1 (ALT_TYPE_FEATURE)
data is the corresponding machine feature.

Dump the boot message ring buffer when a crash occurs during boot, but
only if bootdebug is enabled. This helps assist in analyzing boot-time
issues by providing additional debugging information.

Enhance boot debugging by allowing the "bootdebug" kernel parameter to
accept an optional comma-separated list of prefixes. Only debug messages
starting with these prefixes will be printed during boot. For example:
bootdebug=startup,vmem
Not specifying a filter for the "bootdebug" parameter prints all debug
messages. The `boot_fmt` macro can be defined to set a common prefix:
#define boot_fmt(fmt) "startup: " fmt

Suppress decompressor debug messages by default, similar to regular
kernel debug messages that require 'DEBUG' or 'dyndbg' to be enabled
(depending on CONFIG_DYNAMIC_DEBUG). Introduce a 'bootdebug' option to
enable printing these messages when needed.
All messages are still stored in the boot ring buffer regardless.
To enable boot debug messages:
bootdebug debug
Or combine with 'earlyprintk' to print them without delay:
bootdebug debug earlyprintk

When earlyprintk is not specified, boot messages are only stored in a
ring buffer to be printed later by printk when console driver is
registered.
Critical messages from boot_emerg() are always printed immediately,
even without earlyprintk.

Collect all boot messages into a ring buffer independent of the current
log level. This allows to retain all boot-time messages, which is
particularly useful for analyzing early crashes.

Now that boot_printk() supports decimal specifiers, update boot_emerg()
messages to use %d and %lu instead of %x and %lx where appropriate.

Replaces boot_printk() calls with appropriate loglevel-specific helpers
such as boot_emerg(), boot_warn(), and boot_debug().
Using functions with explicit log levels improves log clarity and aligns
the boot code with standard kernel logging practices. This makes it
easier to filter and manage boot-time messages based on their severity.

Add message severity levels for boot messages, similar to the main
kernel. Support command-line options that control console output
verbosity, including "loglevel," "ignore_loglevel," "debug," and "quiet".

Enable the boot_printk() function to print decimal values. Add the 'd',
'i', and 'u' conversion specifiers support.
