<content type='text'>
If the kernel is compiled with gcc 5.1 and the XZ compression option
the decompress_kernel function calls _sclp_print_early in 64-bit mode
while the content of the upper register half of %r6 is non-zero.
This causes a specification exception on the servc instruction in
_sclp_servc.

The _sclp_print_early function saves and restores the upper registers
halves but it fails to clear them for the 31-bit code of the mini sclp
driver.

<title>s390: remove 31 bit support</title>

<content type='text'>
Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and
effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no
distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel.

The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before
anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel
shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning
message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit
code. We didn't get any response.

Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's
remove the code.
Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

_sclp_print_early() has a return value, but misses to sign extend it
if called from 64 bit code.
This is not really a bug, since currently no caller cares what the
return value is.

Use the new defines for external interruption codes to get rid
of "magic" numbers in the s390 source code. And while we're at it,
also rename the (un-)register_external_interrupt function to
something shorter so that this patch does not exceed the 80
columns all over the place.

When printing multi-line text using sclp_print, line endings are not
correctly handled. The routine is expecting an EBCDIC new line character
as line terminator while the input text is encoded in ASCII format.

Fix this problem by modifying sclp_print to scan for ASCII new line
characters.

The early mini sclp driver may be called in zArch mode either in
31 or 64 bit addressing mode.
If called in 31 bit addressing mode the new external interrupt psw
however would switch to 64 bit addressing mode. This would cause an
addressing exception within the interrupt handler, since the code
didn't expect the zArch/31 bit addressing mode combination.

Fix this by setting the new psw addressing mode bits so they fit
the current addressing mode.

Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most
cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless.

Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly
different statements and wanted to change them one after another
whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead
people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template
for new files.
So unify all of them in one go.

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.
