Dropping support for uncompressed kernel "image" build. Having both image and bzImage makes it complicated to add new code to an early boot phase (which is part of vmlinux for uncompressed kernel and a separate arch/s390/boot/compressed/vmlinux for bzImage). e.g. sclp_early_core.o is used for both, the decompressor phase and the main kernel. The fact of having uncompressed kernel "image" forces us to have a single object file and sacrifice instrumentation flags on such files (so that we could use them early). The story gets much more complicated with the need to utilize some of the string functions. With bzImage only support, we have 2 separate boot stages each built and linked separately, which allows to reuse some shared code, but recompile with appropriate flags.

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.
