s390/sclp: don't add new lines to each printed string

2017-02-08T13:13:20Z

The early vt220 sclp printk code added an extra new line to each printed multi-line text. If used for the early sclp console this will lead to numerous extra new lines. Therefore get rid of this semantic and require that each to be printed string contains a line feed character if a new line is wanted.

s390/sclp: make early sclp code readable

2017-02-08T13:13:19Z

This patch - unifies the old sclp early code and the sclp early printk code, so they can use common functions - makes sure all sclp early functions and variables have the same "sclp_early" prefix - converts the sclp early printk code into readable code by using existing data structures instead of hard coded magic arrays - splits the early sclp code into two files: sclp_early.c and sclp_early_core.c. The core file contains everything that is required by the kernel decompressor and may not call functions not contained within the core file. Otherwise the result would be a link error. - changes interrupt handling to be completely synchronous. The old early sclp code had a small window which allowed to receive several interrupts instead of exactly the single expected interrupt. This did hide a subtle potential bug, which is fixed with this large rework. - contains a couple of small cleanups.

s390/als: print missing facilities on facility mismatch

2016-07-31T09:27:59Z

If the kernel needs more facilities to run than the machine provides it is running on, print the facility bit numbers which are missing. This allows to easily tell what went wrong and if simply the machine does not provide a required facility or if either the kernel or the hypervisor may have a bug.

s390/als: print machine type on facility mismatch

2016-07-31T09:27:59Z

If we have a facility mismatch the kernel only emits a warning that the processor is not recent enough and stops operating. This doesn't give us a lot of an idea of what actually went wrong. As a first step print the machine type in addition. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Reviewed-by: Sascha Silbe Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/als: convert architecture level set code to C

2016-07-31T09:27:58Z

There is no reason to have this code in assembly language. Therefore convert it to C. Note that this code needs special treatment: it is called very early and one of the side effects is that e.g. the bss section is not cleared. Therefore the preferred way for static variables is to put them on the stack which has a size of 16KB. There is no functional change with this patch.
