commit 8727638426b0aea59d7f904ad8ddf483f9234f88 upstream. The setup_lowcore() function creates a new prefix page for the boot CPU. The PSW mask for the system_call, external interrupt, i/o interrupt and the program check handler have the DAT bit set in this new prefix page. At the time setup_lowcore is called the system still runs without virtual address translation, the paging_init() function creates the kernel page table and loads the CR13 with the kernel ASCE. Any code between setup_lowcore() and the end of paging_init() that has a BUG or WARN statement will create a program check that can not be handled correctly as there is no kernel page table yet. To allow early WARN statements initially setup the lowcore with DAT off and set the DAT bit only after paging_init() has completed.

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
