Move .dma.text section alignment out of section description, otherwise
zeros used to align the section are included in the section itself (and
section is not really aligned by itself).

Also add alignment before _edma linker symbol definition, so that entire

The strtonum awk function is a GNU extension and is not available with
all versions of awk. The link of bzImage fails with this error message:

&gt;&gt; awk: line 2: function or never defined
&gt;&gt; awk: line 2: function strtonum never defined
   objcopy: --pad-to: bad number: arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux

Drop the awk script and the --pad-to objcopy parameter it generated and
use a FILL pattern with an appropriate alignment in the linker script
for the arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux file.

<content type='text'>
With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, code
and data that has to stay below 2 GB needs special handling.

This patch introduces .dma sections for such text, data and ex_table.
The sections will be part of the decompressor kernel, so they will not
be relocated and stay below 2 GB. Their location is passed over to the
decompressed / relocated kernel via the .boot.preserved.data section.

The duald and aste for control register setup also need to stay below
2 GB, so move the setup code from arch/s390/kernel/head64.S to
arch/s390/boot/head.S. The duct and linkage_stack could reside above
2 GB, but their content has to be preserved for the decompresed kernel,
so they are also moved into the .dma section.

The start and end address of the .dma sections is added to vmcoreinfo,
for crash support, to help debugging in case the kernel crashed there.

Introduce .boot.preserve.data section which is similar to .boot.data and
"shared" between the decompressor code and the decompressed kernel. The
decompressor will store values in it, and copy over to the decompressed
image before starting it. This method allows to avoid using pre-defined
addresses and other hacks to pass values between those boot phases.

Unlike .boot.data section .boot.preserved.data is NOT a part of init data,
and hence will be preserved for the kernel life time.

For uncompressed kernel image, .boot.data section is basically the same
as .init.data

<title>s390/decompressor: rework uncompressed image info collection</title>

<id>urn:sha1:369f91c374514f9491d52fec12f7ee9ef6d44b23</id>
<content type='text'>
The kernel decompressor has to know several bits of information about
uncompressed image. Currently this info is collected by running "nm" on
uncompressed vmlinux + "sed" and producing sizes.h file. This method
worked well, but it has several disadvantages. Obscure symbols name
pattern matching is fragile. Adding new values makes pattern even
longer. Logic is spread across code and make file. Limited ability to
adjust symbols values (currently magic lma value of 0x100000 is always
subtracted). Apart from that same pieces of information (and more)
would be needed for early memory detection and features like KASLR
outside of boot/compressed/ folder where sizes.h is generated.

To overcome limitations new "struct vmlinux_info" has been introduced
to include values needed for the decompressor and the rest of the
boot code. The only static instance of vmlinux_info is produced during
vmlinux link step by filling in struct fields by the linker (like it is
done with input_data in boot/compressed/vmlinux.scr.lds.S). This way
individual values could be adjusted with all the knowledge linker has
and arithmetic it supports. Later .vmlinux.info section (which contains
struct vmlinux_info) is transplanted into the decompressor image and
dropped from uncompressed image altogether.

While doing that replace "compressed/vmlinux.scr.lds.S" linker
script (whose purpose is to rename .data section in piggy.o to
.rodata.compressed) with plain objcopy command. And simplify
decompressor's linker script.

<title>s390/decompressor: correct EXCLUDE_FILE construct</title>

<id>urn:sha1:2d6f74f797f26e14bdd672b3547ad29199bbb6b8</id>
<content type='text'>
The following linker construct is problematic with linkers of
binutils &lt; 2.28:

EXCLUDE_FILE (*piggy.o) *(.rodata.*)

from 8f1732fc2a11dc of binutils:
"though the linker accepts this without complaint the
EXCLUDE_FILE part is silently ignored and has no effect."

Silent ignoring of EXCLUDE_FILE construct made .rodata.compressed be
part of .rodata, and in case of .rodata.compressed following some
unaligned data, input_len would also become unaligned.

from arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux.map:
 .rodata.compressed
                0x0000000000012fea   0x4d57e7 arch/s390/boot/compressed/piggy.o
                0x0000000000012fea                input_len
                0x0000000000012fee                input_data

input_len is later used here:
arch/s390/boot/compressed/misc.c:113
	__decompress(input_data, input_len, NULL, NULL, output, 0, NULL, error);

asm generated by gcc looks like:
	.loc 3 113 0
egfrl	%r11,input_len

from what assembler generates invalid (the second operand must be aligned
on a doubleword boundary):
   0x00000000000129b4 &lt;+148&gt;:   c4 bc 00 00 03 1b       lgfrl   %r11,0x12fea
hence specification exception is recognized.

To avoid an issue use EXCLUDE_FILE construct which is recognized by
older linkers (since at least binutils-2_11)
	*(EXCLUDE_FILE (*piggy.o) .rodata.compressed)

Also ensure that .rodata.compressed is at least doubleword aligned.

<content type='text'>
Implement uncompressed kernel support (when "None" is picked in kernel
compression mode list). In that case an actual decompression code is
skipped and control is passed from boot/head.S to startup_continue in
kernel/head64.S. To achieve that uncompressed kernel payload is
conditionally put at 0x100000 in bzImage.

In reality this is very close to classic uncompressed kernel "image",
but the decompressor has its own build and link process,
kernel/head64.S lives at 0x100000 rather than at 0x11000, and .bss
section is reused for both stages.

Exception table (__ex_table section) is not used during the decompressor
phase and could be discarded to save the memory. It is currently
generated due to sclp_service_call function (sclp_early_core.c). An
assumption is that decompressor usage of sclp_service_call via
sclp_early_printk should never trigger exceptions.
