s390/decompressor: fix initrd corruption caused by bss clear

2017-07-18T17:40:20+00:00

commit d82c0d12c92705ef468683c9b7a8298dd61ed191 upstream. 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/boot/decompression: disable floating point in decompressor

2015-10-30T13:59:27+00:00

commit adc0b7fbf6fe9967505c0254d9535ec7288186ae upstream. my gcc 5.1 used an ldgr instruction with a register != 0,2,4,6 for spilling/filling into a floating point register in our decompressor. This will cause an AFP-register data exception as the decompressor did not setup the additional floating point registers via cr0. That causes a program check loop that looked like a hang with one "Uncompressing Linux... " message (directly booted via kvm) or a loop of "Uncompressing Linux... " messages (when booted via zipl boot loader). The offending code in my build was 48e400: e3 c0 af ff ff 71 lay %r12,-1(%r10) -->48e406: b3 c1 00 1c ldgr %f1,%r12 48e40a: ec 6c 01 22 02 7f clij %r6,2,12,0x48e64e but gcc could do spilling into an fpr at any function. We can simply disable floating point support at that early stage. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger Acked-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Luis Henriques

s390/boot: fix boot of compressed kernel built with gcc 4.9

2014-05-27T08:26:04+00:00

Add -fno-delete-null-pointer-checks to CFLAGS for the code in arch/s390/boot. Without the option a compressed kernel built with gcc 4.9 won't boot. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/boot: Install bzImage as default kernel image

2013-11-15T13:08:36+00:00

The compressed kernel image is built since commit "[S390] add support for compressed kernels" (1844c9bc0b2fed3023551c1affe033ab38e90b9a). Now install the compressed kernel image (bzImage) as default. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: fix linker script for 31 bit builds

2012-10-18T15:50:10+00:00

Because of a change in the s390 arch backend of binutils (commit 23ecd77 "Pick the default arch depending on the target size" in binutils repo) 31 bit builds will fail since the linker would now try to create 64 bit binary output. Fix this by setting OUTPUT_ARCH to s390:31-bit instead of s390. Thanks to Andreas Krebbel for figuring out the issue. Fixes this build error: LD init/built-in.o s390x-4.7.2-ld: s390:31-bit architecture of input file `arch/s390/kernel/head.o' is incompatible with s390:64-bit output Cc: Andreas Krebbel Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/string: provide asm lib functions for memcpy and memcmp

2012-09-26T13:44:50+00:00

Our memcpy and memcmp variants were implemented by calling the corresponding gcc builtin variants. However gcc is free to replace a call to __builtin_memcmp with a call to memcmp which, when called, will result in an endless recursion within memcmp. So let's provide asm variants and also fix the variants that are used for uncompressing the kernel image. In addition remove all other occurences of builtin function calls.

[S390] Remove Kerntypes leftovers

2011-12-27T10:27:12+00:00

Remove last traces of our kerntypes patch which was always an addon patch which never got upstream. Somehow a few bits got upstream anyway. Since kerntypes aren't used anymore and lcrash isn't maintained (for s390 at least) remove the last traces of kerntypes that somehow went upstream. Also remove the documentation that mentions lcrash.
