[S390] entry[64].S improvements

2011-12-27T10:27:12+00:00

Another round of cleanup for entry[64].S, in particular the program check
handler looks more reasonable now. The code size for the 31 bit kernel
has been reduced by 616 byte and by 528 byte for the 64 bit version.
Even better the code is a bit faster as well.

[S390] Use diagnose 308 for system reset

2011-08-03T14:44:19+00:00

The diagnose 308 call is the prefered method for clearing all ongoing I/O.
Therefore if it is available we use it instead of doing a manual reset.

[S390] fix s390 assembler code alignments

2011-07-24T08:48:21+00:00

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.

[S390] Cleanup struct _lowcore usage and defines.

2010-02-26T21:37:31+00:00

Use asm offsets to make sure the offset defines to struct _lowcore and
its layout don't get out of sync.
Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON() which checks that the size of the structure
is sane.
And while being at it change those sites which use odd casts to access
the current lowcore. These should use S390_lowcore instead.

[S390] Convert memory detection into C code.

2007-02-05T20:18:37+00:00

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.
