2012-05-23s390/kdump: Use real mode for PSW restart and kexecMichael Holzheu
Currently the PSW restart handler and kexec are executed in real mode with DAT=off. For kexec/kdump the function setup_regs() is called that uses the per-cpu variable "crash_notes". Because there are situations when the per-cpu implementation uses vmalloc memory, calling setup_regs() in real mode can cause a program check interrupt. To fix that problem this patch changes the following: * Ensure that diag308_reset() does not change PSW bits to real mode * Enable DAT in __do_restart() after we switched to an online CPU * Enable DAT in __machine_kexec() after we switched to the IPL CPU * Call setup_regs() before we switch to real mode and call purgatory Reviewed-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2011-12-27[S390] entry[64].S improvementsMartin Schwidefsky
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.

2011-08-03[S390] Use diagnose 308 for system resetMichael Holzheu
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. Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
2011-07-24[S390] fix s390 assembler code alignmentsJan Glauber
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.

2010-02-26[S390] Cleanup struct _lowcore usage and defines.Heiko Carstens
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.

2007-02-05[S390] Convert memory detection into C code.Heiko Carstens
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.
