[ Upstream commit22476f47b6] Allocation of mem_detect extended area was not considered neither in commit9641b8cc73("s390/ipl: read IPL report at early boot") nor in commitb2d24b97b2("s390/kernel: add support for kernel address space layout randomization (KASLR)"). As a result mem_detect extended theoretically may overlap with ipl report or randomized kernel image position. But as mem_detect code will allocate extended area only upon exceeding 255 online regions (which should alternate with offline memory regions) it is not seen in practice. To make sure mem_detect extended area does not overlap with ipl report or randomized kernel position extend usage of "safe_addr". Make initrd handling and mem_detect extended area allocation code move it further right and make KASLR takes in into consideration as well.

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.
