Martin Schwidefsky 1844c9bc0b [S390] add support for compressed kernels
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.

Heiko Carstens 0c88ee5b75 [S390] Initialize __LC_THREAD_INFO early.
"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.

Heiko Carstens c58d92b233 [S390] Remove initial kernel stack backchain initialization.
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.

Martin Schwidefsky e37f50e181 [S390] Add processor type march=z10 and a processor type safety check.
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.

Heiko Carstens 2e5061e40a [S390] Convert machine feature detection code to C.
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
From: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com>

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.

Gerald Schaefer 482b05dd53 [S390] Fixed handling of access register mode faults.
Replaced check_user_space() + __check_access_register with the new
check_space(). The old functions made wrong assumptions about kernel
and user space when the kernel and user address spaces are switched
(kernel in home space, user in primary/secondary space).
Secondly the user process can switch to the accress register mode if
it is running in primary or secondary mode. In addition it can load
an arbitrary value to the access registers. If any other value than
0 for primary space or 1 for secondary space is loaded and memory
is accessed using the base register related to the access register,
the program should be terminated with a SIGSEGV. To achieve that the
DUALD pointer in the DUCT and the PSALD pointer in the PASTE need
to point to an array of 8 invalid access-list entries to get a
ALEN-translation exception if an invalid alet is used.

Heiko Carstens 615b04b301 [S390] nss: Free unused memory in kernel image.
With CONFIG_SHARED_KERNEL the kernel text segment that might be in a
read only memory sections starts at 1MB. Memory between 0x12000 and
0x100000 is unused then. Free this, so we have appr. an extra MB
of memory available.

Heiko Carstens ab14de6c37 [S390] Convert memory detection into C code.
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.

Heiko Carstens 8b62bc9642 [S390] Memory detection fixes.
VMALLOC_END on 31bit should be 0x8000000UL instead of 0x7fffffffL.
The page mask which is used to make sure memory_end is on 4MB/2MB
boundary is wrong and not needed. Therefore remove it.
Make sure a vmalloc area does also exist and work on (future)
machines with 4TB and more memory.

Heiko Carstens baf2aeb3d9 [S390] Misaligned wait PSW at memory detection.
If the memory detection code would ever reach the point where it would
load the wait psw, it would generate a specification exception and the
system would crash at ipl time. This is because of a misaligned wait
psw. It needs to be on a double word boundary instead of a word
boundary.

automatically create a system dump in case of a kernel panic. The dump
device can be configured under /sys/firmware/dump.
In addition it is now possible to specify a ccw/fcp device which is used
for the next reboot of Linux. The reipl device can be configured under

Heiko Carstens 65912a84c0 [S390] initrd vs. bootmem bitmap.
Move initrd if the bitmap of the bootmem allocator would overwrite it.
In addition this patch sets the default size and address of the initrd to 0.
Therefore all boot loaders must set the initrd size and address correctly.
This is especially relevant for ftp boot via HMC/SE, where this change
requires a special patch file entry in the .ins file which sets these two
values contained at address 0x10408 and 0x10410.
