s390/mm: let kernel text section always begin at 1MB

2012-10-09T12:16:59Z

Let the kernel text section always begin at 1MB. This allows to always have a large frame in the identity mapping of the kernel image for beginning of the text section, if the machine has EDAT1 support. Moving the beginning from 64K to 1MB doesn't cost any memory, since we make the memory between 64K and 1MB available for the page allocator.

s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file names

2012-07-20T09:15:04Z

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless. Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly different statements and wanted to change them one after another whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template for new files. So unify all of them in one go. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens

[S390] smp: external call vs. emergency signal

2011-10-30T14:16:44Z

Use a sigp sense running to decide which signal processor order to use for an ipi. If the target cpu is running use external call, if the target cpu is not running use emergency signal. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] iucv cr0 enablement bit

2011-07-24T08:48:22Z

Do not set the cr0 enablement bit for iucv by default in head[31|64].S, move the enablement to iucv_init in the iucv base layer. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] fix s390 assembler code alignments

2011-07-24T08:48:21Z

The alignment is missing for various global symbols in s390 assembly code. With a recent gcc and an instruction like stgrl this can lead to a specification exception if the instruction uses such a mis-aligned address. Specify the alignment explicitely and while add it define __ALIGN for s390 and use the ENTRY define to save some lines of code. Signed-off-by: Jan Glauber Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] correct address of _stext with CONFIG_SHARED_KERNEL=y

2010-05-12T07:32:26Z

As of git commit 1844c9bc0b2fed3023551c1affe033ab38e90b9a head64.S/head31.S are not included in head.S anymore but build as an extra object. This breaks shared kernel support because the .org statement in head64.S/head31.S for CONFIG_SHARED_KERNEL=y will have a different effect. The end address of the head.text section in head.o will be added to the .org value, to compensate for this subtract 0x11000 to get the required value of 0x100000 again.

[S390] add support for compressed kernels

2010-02-26T21:37:33Z

Add the "bzImage" compile target and the necessary code to generate compressed kernel images. The old style uncompressed "image" target is preserved, a simple make will build them both. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] Initialize __LC_THREAD_INFO early.

2009-09-11T08:29:53Z

"lockdep: Fix backtraces" reveales a bug in early setup code: when lockdep tries to save a stack backtrace before setup_arch has been called the lowcore pointer for the current thread info pointer isn't initialized yet. However our save stack backtrace code relies on it. If the pointer isn't initialized the saved backtrace will have zero entries. lockdep however relies (correctly) on the fact that that cannot happen. A write access to some random memory region is the result. Fix this by initializing the thread info pointer early. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

[S390] Remove initial kernel stack backchain initialization.

2008-12-25T12:39:13Z

Early init code clears the backchain of the initial kernel stack frame. This is not necessary since it is pre initialized with zeros. Plus it was broken on 64 bit since it cleared only four of eight bytes. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky
