The sccbs for init/read/sdias/early have to be located below 2 GB, and they are currently defined as a static buffer. With a relocatable kernel that could reside at any place in memory, this will no longer guarantee the location below 2 GB, so use a dynamic GFP_DMA allocation instead. The sclp_early_sccb buffer needs special handling, as it can be used very early, and by both the decompressor and also the decompressed kernel. Therefore, a fixed 4 KB buffer is introduced at 0x11000, the former PARMAREA_END. The new PARMAREA_END is now 0x12000, and it is renamed to HEAD_END, as it is rather the end of head.S and not the end of the parmarea.

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.
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.
