Later when vmlinux.bin is produced from vmlinux, .vmlinux.info section
is removed. But elf vmlinux file, even though it is not bootable anymore,
used for debugging and loadable segments overlap should be avoided.
Utilize special ":NONE" phdr specification to avoid adding .vmlinux.info
into loadable data segment. Also set .vmlinux.info section type to INFO,
which allows to get a not-loadable info CONTENTS section.
Since minimal supported version of binutils 2.20 does not have

The kernel decompressor has to know several bits of information about
uncompressed image. Currently this info is collected by running "nm" on
uncompressed vmlinux + "sed" and producing sizes.h file. This method
worked well, but it has several disadvantages. Obscure symbols name
pattern matching is fragile. Adding new values makes pattern even
longer. Logic is spread across code and make file. Limited ability to
adjust symbols values (currently magic lma value of 0x100000 is always
subtracted). Apart from that same pieces of information (and more)
would be needed for early memory detection and features like KASLR
outside of boot/compressed/ folder where sizes.h is generated.
To overcome limitations new "struct vmlinux_info" has been introduced
to include values needed for the decompressor and the rest of the
boot code. The only static instance of vmlinux_info is produced during
vmlinux link step by filling in struct fields by the linker (like it is
done with input_data in boot/compressed/vmlinux.scr.lds.S). This way
individual values could be adjusted with all the knowledge linker has
and arithmetic it supports. Later .vmlinux.info section (which contains
struct vmlinux_info) is transplanted into the decompressor image and
dropped from uncompressed image altogether.
While doing that replace "compressed/vmlinux.scr.lds.S" linker
script (whose purpose is to rename .data section in piggy.o to
.rodata.compressed) with plain objcopy command. And simplify
decompressor's linker script.

from 8f1732fc2a11dc of binutils:
"though the linker accepts this without complaint the

Silent ignoring of EXCLUDE_FILE construct made .rodata.compressed be
part of .rodata, and in case of .rodata.compressed following some
unaligned data, input_len would also become unaligned.
from arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux.map:

input_len is later used here:
arch/s390/boot/compressed/misc.c:113
__decompress(input_data, input_len, NULL, NULL, output, 0, NULL, error);
asm generated by gcc looks like:
.loc 3 113 0

on a doubleword boundary):
0x00000000000129b4 <+148>: c4 bc 00 00 03 1b lgfrl %r11,0x12fea
hence specification exception is recognized.

older linkers (since at least binutils-2_11)
*(EXCLUDE_FILE (*piggy.o) .rodata.compressed)
Also ensure that .rodata.compressed is at least doubleword aligned.

Dropping support for uncompressed kernel "image" build. Having
both image and bzImage makes it complicated to add new code to an
early boot phase (which is part of vmlinux for uncompressed kernel and
a separate arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux for bzImage).
e.g. sclp_early_core.o is used for both, the decompressor phase and the
main kernel. The fact of having uncompressed kernel "image" forces us
to have a single object file and sacrifice instrumentation flags on such
files (so that we could use them early). The story gets much more
complicated with the need to utilize some of the string functions.
With bzImage only support, we have 2 separate boot stages each built
and linked separately, which allows to reuse some shared code, but

__ksymtab sections created for exported symbols are not needed
during the decompressor phase and could be discarded to save the memory.
The source of those exports is ebcdic.o, which is linked into both
vmlinux and boot/compressed/vmlinux.
.eh_frame section is also unused and could be discarded from
boot/compressed/vmlinux. The same has been done for vmlinux in:
"s390/kernel: emit CFI data in .debug_frame and discard .eh_frame
sections".

.rodata.compressed section contains compressed linux image and is
quite large. By swapping text and rodata.compressed sections, the
decompressor code ends up between 0x11000 and 0x100000 addresses,
which makes it easier:
- to distinguish the decompressor phase from decompressed code (which
lives above 0x100000, except for small startup_continue),
- define break points which don't intersect with the main kernel image
later.
