Sven Schnelle c239c83ed5 s390/entry: add CIF_SIE flag and remove sie64a() address check
When a program check, interrupt or machine check is triggered, the
PSW address is compared to a certain range of the sie64a() function
to figure out whether SIE was interrupted and a cleanup of SIE is
needed.

This doesn't work with kprobes: If kprobes probes an instruction, it
copies the instruction to the kprobes instruction page and overwrites the
original instruction with an undefind instruction (Opcode 00). When this
instruction is hit later, kprobes single-steps the instruction on the
kprobes_instruction page.

However, if this instruction is a relative branch instruction it will now
point to a different location in memory due to being moved to the kprobes
instruction page. If the new branch target points into sie64a() the kernel
assumes it interrupted SIE when processing the breakpoint and will crash
trying to access the SIE control block.

Instead of comparing the address, introduce a new CIF_SIE flag which
indicates whether SIE was interrupted.

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the ReStructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
