Heiko Carstens e42ac7789d s390/checksum: always use cksm instruction 
Commit dfe843dce7 ("s390/checksum: support GENERIC_CSUM, enable it for
KASAN") switched s390 to use the generic checksum functions, so that KASAN
instrumentation also works checksum functions by avoiding architecture
specific inline assemblies.

There is however the problem that the generic csum_partial() function
returns a 32 bit value with a 16 bit folded checksum, while the original
s390 variant does not fold to 16 bit. This in turn causes that the
ipib_checksum in lowcore contains different values depending on kernel
config options.

The ipib_checksum is used by system dumpers to verify if pointers in
lowcore point to valid data. Verification is done by comparing checksum
values. The system dumpers still use 32 bit checksum values which are not
folded, and therefore the checksum verification fails (incorrectly).

Symptom is that reboot after dump does not work anymore when a KASAN
instrumented kernel is dumped.

Fix this by not using the generic checksum implementation. Instead add an
explicit kasan_check_read() so that KASAN knows about the read access from
within the inline assembly.

README 

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.
