s390: fix kernel crash due to linkage stack instructions

2014-02-22T18:32:45+00:00

commit 8d7f6690cedb83456edd41c9bd583783f0703bf0 upstream.

The kernel currently crashes with a low-address-protection exception
if a user space process executes an instruction that tries to use the
linkage stack. Set the base-ASTE origin and the subspace-ASTE origin
of the dispatchable-unit-control-table to point to a dummy ASTE.
Set up control register 15 to point to an empty linkage stack with no
room left.

A user space process with a linkage stack instruction will still crash
but with a different exception which is correctly translated to a
segmentation fault instead of a kernel oops.

[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] fix boot failures with compressed kernels

2010-03-24T10:49:54+00:00

Fix two bugs with the kernel image compression:
1) reset the bss section of the compressed vmlinux
2) clear the high half of the registers for 64 bit early enough
   for the decompression step

[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] zfcpdump: remove cross arch dump support

2010-02-26T21:37:30+00:00

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.
We also get rid of a bit of hacky code.

[S390] s390: clear high-order bits of registers after sam64

2009-12-07T11:45:10+00:00

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.
