* [S390] correct address of _stext with CONFIG_SHARED_KERNEL=yMartin Schwidefsky2010-05-12
| | | | | | | | | | | 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.

| | | | | | | | | | Remove support to be able to dump 31 bit systems with a 64 bit dumper. This is mostly useless since no distro ships 31 bit kernels together with a 64 bit dumper.

* [S390] s390: clear high-order bits of registers after sam64Hendrik Brueckner2009-12-07
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | When the kernel is IPLed without the CLEAR option and switches to 64-bit, the high-order half of the registers might contain random values. This can cause addressing exceptions and the kernel enters an interrupt loop. Initialize the high-order half of the general purpose registers with zeros after switching to 64-bit mode.

* [S390] Initialize __LC_THREAD_INFO early.Heiko Carstens2009-09-11
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | "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.

* [S390] Convert machine feature detection code to C.Heiko Carstens2008-04-30
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> From: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> This lets us use defines for the magic bits in machine flags instead of using plain numbers all over the place. In addition on newer machines features/facilities are indicated by the result of the stfl instruction. So we use these bits instead of trying to execute new instructions and check wether we get an exception or not. Also the mvpg instruction is always available when in zArch mode, whereas the idte instruction is only available in zArch mode. This results in some minor optimizations.

* [S390] Fix tlb flushing with idte.Martin Schwidefsky2008-01-26
| | | | | | | | | | | | The clear-by-asce operation of the idte instruction gets an asce (address-space-control-element) as argument to specify which TLBs need to get flushed. The current code passes a plain pointer to the start of the pgd without the additional bits which would make the pointer an asce. The current machines don't mind the difference but a future model might want to use the designation type control bits in the asce as a filter for the TLBs to flush.

* [S390] zfcpdump support.Michael Holzheu2007-04-27
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first 32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

* [S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.Gerald Schaefer2007-03-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched (kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space). Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than 0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory is accessed using the base register related to the access register, the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

* [S390] Convert memory detection into C code.Heiko Carstens2007-02-05
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone. Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an early call to sort_main_extable(). This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of head[31|64].S into C code.

* [PATCH] s390: memory detection > 32GBHeiko Carstens2005-06-21
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | The kernel takes a very long time to boot if the memory size is bigger then 32767 MB. The memory size is contained in a structure created by an sclp call. The kernel accesses the field with a LH instrution which performs a sign extension of a 16 bit word. In the case of a memory size with bit 2^15 set this results in a very large value and the memory detection just loops for a long time. In addition if more then 64 GB are used on a 64 bit system the memory size is read from an incorrect storage location. Use zero-extention to read the 16 bit memory size and the correct offset to read the 4 byte memory size on 64 bit.
