s390: add support for vector extension

2014-10-09T07:14:13+00:00

The vector extension introduces 32 128-bit vector registers and a set of instruction to operate on the vector registers. The kernel can control the use of vector registers for the problem state program with a bit in control register 0. Once enabled for a process the kernel needs to retain the content of the vector registers on context switch. The signal frame is extended to include the vector registers. Two new register sets NT_S390_VXRS_LOW and NT_S390_VXRS_HIGH are added to the regset interface for the debugger and core dumps. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/compat: correct ucontext layout for high gprs

2014-06-16T08:31:40+00:00

The uc_sigmask definition in the kernel differs from the one in the glibc, the kernel uc_sigmask has 64 bits while the glibc verison is 1024 bits. The extension of the ucontext structure for 64-bit register support for 31-bit compat processes added a new field uc_gprs_high which starts 8 bytes after the uc_sigmask field. As the glibc view of the ucontext assumes a size of 128 bytes for uc_sigmask add a 120 byte padding to the kernel structure ucontext_extended after the 8 byte uc_sigmask.
