Subject: [PATCH 0/9] s390: Exception based WARN() / WARN_ONCE()

Use the generic infrastructure introduced by Peter Zijlstra [1] to implement
an exception based WARN() and WARN_ONCE() similar to x86.

Due to some compiler oddities on s390 this requires to raise the minimum gcc
version to 9. Maybe there are ways to avoid this, but I failed to find a
working solution. Details are in the patch descriptions.

Just posting this now to also get some compile bot testing, since I'm afraid
there might be some compiler version / config option around where even this
new approach breaks.

Peter, since you were wondering: your generic infrastructure pieces work very
nice. Looking at the x86 and s390 implementation: it might be possible to make
things even more generic since both __WARN_printf(), and WARN_ONCE() are
identical; it looks like only __WARN_print_arg() needs to be provided.

Arnd, just adding you so you know that there may be an architecture
which requires gcc-9 instead of gcc-8 in the near future.

Series is based on
git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/s390/linux.git features

...and not yet meant to be included anywhere.

Thanks,
Heiko
