s390: remove 31 bit support

2015-03-25T10:49:33+00:00

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.

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.
