Detect and report the etoken facility. With spectre_v2=auto or
CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y automatically disable expolines and use
the full branch prediction mode for the kernel.

There should not be a '.' at the end of the spectre syslog messages.
Remove them.

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.

The nospec-branch.c file is compiled without the gcc options to
generate expoline thunks. The return branch of the sysfs show
functions cpu_show_spectre_v1 and cpu_show_spectre_v2 is an indirect
branch as well. These need to be compiled with expolines.
Move the sysfs functions for spectre reporting to a separate file
and loose an '.' for one of the messages.

Fix the following sparse warnings:
symbol 'cpu_show_spectre_v1' was not declared. Should it be static?
symbol 'cpu_show_spectre_v2' was not declared. Should it be static?

With CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y the call of spectre_v2_auto_early() via
early_initcall is done *after* the early_param functions. This
overwrites any settings done with the nobp/no_spectre_v2/spectre_v2
parameters. The code patching for the kernel is done after the
evaluation of the early parameters but before the early_initcall
is done. The end result is a kernel image that is patched correctly
but the kernel modules are not.
Make sure that the nospec auto detection function is called before the
early parameters are evaluated and before the code patching is done.

Set CONFIG_GENERIC_CPU_VULNERABILITIES and provide the two functions
cpu_show_spectre_v1 and cpu_show_spectre_v2 to report the spectre
mitigations.

Add a boot message if either of the spectre defenses is active.
The message is
"Spectre V2 mitigation: execute trampolines."
or "Spectre V2 mitigation: limited branch prediction."

Automatically decide between nobp vs. expolines if the spectre_v2=auto
kernel parameter is specified or CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y is set.
The decision made at boot time due to CONFIG_EXPOLINE_AUTO=y being set
can be overruled with the nobp, nospec and spectre_v2 kernel parameters.

Keep the code for the nobp parameter handling with the code for
expolines. Both are related to the spectre v2 mitigation.

I've accidentally stumbled upon the IS_ENABLED(EXPOLINE_*) lines, which
obviously always evaluate to false. Fix this.

Add CONFIG_EXPOLINE to enable the use of the new -mindirect-branch= and
-mfunction_return= compiler options to create a kernel fortified against
the specte v2 attack.
With CONFIG_EXPOLINE=y all indirect branches will be issued with an
execute type instruction. For z10 or newer the EXRL instruction will
be used, for older machines the EX instruction. The typical indirect
call
basr %r14,%r1
is replaced with a PC relative call to a new thunk
brasl %r14,__s390x_indirect_jump_r1
The thunk contains the EXRL/EX instruction to the indirect branch
__s390x_indirect_jump_r1:
exrl 0,0f
j .
0: br %r1
The detour via the execute type instruction has a performance impact.
To get rid of the detour the new kernel parameter "nospectre_v2" and
"spectre_v2=[on,off,auto]" can be used. If the parameter is specified
the kernel and module code will be patched at runtime.
