Decompressor's head.S provided "data mover" sole purpose of which has been to safely move uncompressed kernel at 0x100000 and jump to it. With current bzImage layout entire decompressor's code guaranteed to be in a safe location under 0x100000, and hence could not be overwritten during kernel move. For that reason head.S could be replaced with simple memmove function. To do so introduce early boot code phase which is executed from arch/s390/boot/head.S after "verify_facilities" and takes care of optional kernel image decompression and transition to it.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
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.
