2018-05-25	s390: extend expoline to BC instructions	Martin Schwidefsky
	[ Upstream commit 6deaa3bbca804b2a3627fd685f75de64da7be535 ] The BPF JIT uses a 'b <disp>(%r<x>)' instruction in the definition of the sk_load_word and sk_load_half functions. Add support for branch-on-condition instructions contained in the thunk code of an expoline.

2018-05-25	s390/ftrace: use expoline for indirect branches	Martin Schwidefsky
	[ Upstream commit 23a4d7fd34856da8218c4cfc23dba7a6ec0a423a ] The return from the ftrace_stub, _mcount, ftrace_caller and return_to_handler functions is done with "br %r14" and "br %r1". These are indirect branches as well and need to use execute trampolines for CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y. The ftrace_caller function is a special case as it returns to the start of a function and may only use %r0 and %r1. For a pre z10 machine the standard execute trampoline uses a LARL + EX to do this, but this requires two registers in the range %r1..%r15. To get around this the 'br %r1' located in the lowcore is used, then the EX instruction does not need an address register. But the lowcore trick may only be used for pre z14 machines, with noexec=on the mapping for the first page may not contain instructions. The solution for that is an ALTERNATIVE in the expoline THUNK generated by 'GEN_BR_THUNK %r1' to switch to EXRL, this relies on the fact that a machine that supports noexec=on has EXRL as well.

2018-05-25	s390: move expoline assembler macros to a header	Martin Schwidefsky
	[ Upstream commit 6dd85fbb87d1d6b87a3b1f02ca28d7b2abd2e7ba ] To be able to use the expoline branches in different assembler files move the associated macros from entry.S to a new header nospec-insn.h. While we are at it make the macros a bit nicer to use.
