Heiko Carstens 35b03aec91 s390/mem_detect: fix memory hole handling
With git commit 996b4a7d "s390/mem_detect: remove artificial kdump
memory types" the memory detection code got simplified.
As a side effect the array that describes memory chunks may now
contain empty (zeroed) entries.
All call sites can handle this except for

drivers/s390/char/zcore.c::zcore_memmap_open

which has a really odd user space interface. The easiest fix is to
change the memory hole handling code, so that no empty entries exist
before the last valid entry is reached.

Heiko Carstens 996b4a7d8f s390/mem_detect: remove artificial kdump memory types
Simplify the memory detection code a bit by removing the CHUNK_OLDMEM
and CHUNK_CRASHK memory types.
They are not needed. Everything that is needed is a mechanism to
insert holes into the detected memory.

Heiko Carstens df1bd59c5c s390/mem_detect: limit memory detection loop to "mem=" parameter
The current memory detection loop will detect all present memory of
a machine. This is true even if the user specified the "mem=" parameter
on the kernel command line.
This can be a problem since the memory detection may cause a fully
populated host page table for the guest, even for those parts of the
memory that the guest will never use afterwards.

So fix this and only detect memory up to a user supplied "mem=" limit
if specified.

Heiko Carstens 0a69406711 s390/mem_detect: add DAT sanity check
Add sanity check: verify if the passed in array resides in vmalloc space.
If so print a warning and return to caller.

Heiko Carstens d009f4d886 s390/mem_detect: fix lockdep irq tracing
When disabling and enabling interrupts we must tell lockdep.
So use local_irq_save()/restore() to disable and enable interrupts.
The DAT disabling/enabling get handled separately now.
Note: we may not call trace_hardirqs_on() with DAT disabled, since
the generic code may access vmalloc'ed data structures.
