[S390] smp: external call vs. emergency signal

2011-10-30T14:16:44+00:00

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.

[S390] iucv cr0 enablement bit

2011-07-24T08:48:22+00:00

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.

[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] correct address of _stext with CONFIG_SHARED_KERNEL=y

2010-05-12T07:32:26+00:00

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

2010-02-26T21:37:33+00:00

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.

[S390] Initialize __LC_THREAD_INFO early.

2009-09-11T08:29:53+00:00

"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] Remove initial kernel stack backchain initialization.

2008-12-25T12:39:13+00:00

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.

[S390] Add processor type march=z10 and a processor type safety check.

2008-12-25T12:39:12+00:00

This patch adds the code generation option for IBM System z10 and
adds a check in head[31,64].S to prevents the execution of a kernel
compiled for a new processor type on an old machine.

[S390] Convert machine feature detection code to C.

2008-04-30T11:38:47+00:00

From: Heiko Carstens 
From: Carsten Otte 

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.
