s390/decompressor: fix initrd corruption caused by bss clear

2017-03-22T07:21:20+00:00

Reorder the operations in decompress_kernel() to ensure initrd is moved
to a safe location before the bss section is zeroed.

During decompression bss can overlap with the initrd and this can
corrupt the initrd contents depending on the size of the compressed
kernel (which affects where the initrd is placed by the bootloader) and
the size of the bss section of the decompressor.

Also use the correct initrd size when checking for overlaps with
parmblock.

s390/sclp: make early sclp code readable

2017-02-08T13:13:19+00:00

This patch

 - unifies the old sclp early code and the sclp early printk code, so
   they can use common functions

 - makes sure all sclp early functions and variables have the same
   "sclp_early" prefix

 - converts the sclp early printk code into readable code by using
   existing data structures instead of hard coded magic arrays

 - splits the early sclp code into two files: sclp_early.c and
   sclp_early_core.c. The core file contains everything that is
   required by the kernel decompressor and may not call functions not
   contained within the core file. Otherwise the result would be a
   link error.

 - changes interrupt handling to be completely synchronous. The old
   early sclp code had a small window which allowed to receive several
   interrupts instead of exactly the single expected interrupt. This
   did hide a subtle potential bug, which is fixed with this large
   rework.

 - contains a couple of small cleanups.

s390/sclp: move early printk code to drivers

2017-02-08T13:13:17+00:00

Move the early sclp printk code to the drivers folder where also the
rest of the sclp code can be found. This way it is possible to use the
sclp private header files for further cleanups.

Replace with globally

2016-12-24T19:46:01+00:00

This was entirely automated, using the script by Al:

  PATT='^[[:blank:]]*#[[:blank:]]*include[[:blank:]]*'
  sed -i -e "s!$PATT!#include !" \
        $(git grep -l "$PATT"|grep -v ^include/linux/uaccess.h)

to do the replacement at the end of the merge window.

Remove references to dead make variable LINUX_INCLUDE

2016-12-14T09:54:28+00:00

Commit 4fd06960f120 ("Use the new x86 setup code for i386") introduced a
reference to the make variable LINUX_INCLUDE. That reference got moved
around a bit and copied twice and now there are three references to it.

There has never been a definition of that variable. (Presumably that is
because it started out as a mistyped reference to LINUXINCLUDE.) So this
reference has always been an empty string. Let's remove it before it
spreads any further.

s390/thread_info: get rid of THREAD_ORDER define

2016-11-23T15:02:21+00:00

We have the s390 specific THREAD_ORDER define and the THREAD_SIZE_ORDER
define which is also used in common code. Both have exactly the same
semantics. Therefore get rid of THREAD_ORDER and always use
THREAD_SIZE_ORDER instead.

s390: enable UBSAN

2016-09-20T12:26:23+00:00

This enables UBSAN for s390. We have to disable the null sanitizer
as s390 code does access memory via a null pointer (the prefix page).

s390: clarify compressed image code path

2016-08-08T13:41:31+00:00

The way the decompressor is hooked into the start-up code is rather
subtle, with a mix of multiply-defined symbols and hardcoded address
literals. Add some comments at the junction points to clarify how it
works.
