2011-10-30[S390] kdump backend codeMichael Holzheu
This patch provides the architecture specific part of the s390 kdump support. Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2011-08-03[S390] Use diagnose 308 for system resetMichael Holzheu
The diagnose 308 call is the prefered method for clearing all ongoing I/O. Therefore if it is available we use it instead of doing a manual reset. Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
2011-07-24[S390] fix s390 assembler code alignmentsJan Glauber
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.

2010-02-26[S390] Cleanup struct _lowcore usage and defines.Heiko Carstens
Use asm offsets to make sure the offset defines to struct _lowcore and its layout don't get out of sync. Also add a BUILD_BUG_ON() which checks that the size of the structure is sane. And while being at it change those sites which use odd casts to access the current lowcore. These should use S390_lowcore instead.

2007-02-05[S390] Convert memory detection into C code.Heiko Carstens
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.
