Martin Schwidefsky 3f6813b9a5 s390/fpu: allocate 'struct fpu' with the task_struct
Analog to git commit 0c8c0f03e3
"x86/fpu, sched: Dynamically allocate 'struct fpu'"
move the struct fpu to the end of the struct thread_struct,
set CONFIG_ARCH_WANTS_DYNAMIC_TASK_STRUCT and add the
setup_task_size() function to calculate the correct size
fo the task struct.

For the performance_defconfig this increases the size of
struct task_struct from 7424 bytes to 7936 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==1)
or 7552 bytes (MACHINE_HAS_VX==0). The dynamic allocation of the
struct fpu is removed. The slab cache uses an 8KB block for the
task struct in all cases, there is enough room for the struct fpu.
For MACHINE_HAS_VX==1 each task now needs 512 bytes less memory.

Martin Schwidefsky 1b17cb796f s390/fpu: signals vs. floating point control register
git commit 904818e2f2
"s390/kernel: introduce fpu-internal.h with fpu helper functions"
introduced the fpregs_store / fp_regs_load helper. These function
fail to save and restore the floating pointer control registers.

The effect is that the FPC is not correctly handled on signal
delivery and signal return.

Martin Schwidefsky 1a36a39e22 s390/dump: rework CPU register dump code
To collect the CPU registers of the crashed system allocated a single
page with memblock_alloc_base and use it as a copy buffer. Replace the
stop-and-store-status sigp with a store-status-at-address sigp in
smp_save_dump_cpus() and smp_store_status(). In both cases the target
CPU is already stopped and store-status-at-address avoids the detour
via the absolute zero page.

For kexec simplify s390_reset_system and call store_status() before
the prefix register of the boot CPU has been set to zero. Use STPX
to store the prefix register and remove dump_prefix_page.

Hendrik Brueckner b0753902d4 s390/fpu: split fpu-internal.h into fpu internals, api, and type headers
Split the API and FPU type definitions into separate header files
similar to "x86/fpu: Rename fpu-internal.h to fpu/internal.h" (78f7f1e54b).

The new header files and their meaning are:

asm/fpu/types.h:
	FPU related data types, needed for 'struct thread_struct' and
	'struct task_struct'.

asm/fpu/api.h:
	FPU related 'public' functions for other subsystems and device
	drivers.

asm/fpu/internal.h:
	FPU internal functions mainly used to convert
	FPU register contents in signal handling.
