The perf tool assumes that kernel symbols are never present at address zero. In fact it assumes if functions that map symbols to addresses return zero, that the symbol was not found. Given that s390's _text symbol historically is located at address zero this yields at least a couple of false errors and warnings in one of perf's test cases about not present symbols ("perf test 1"). To fix this simply move the _text symbol to address 0x200, just behind the initial psw and channel program located at the beginning of the kernel image. This is now hard coded within the linker script. I tried a nicer solution which moves the initial psw and channel program into an own section. However that would move the symbols within the "real" head.text section to different addresses, since the ".org" statements within head.S are relative to the head.text section. If there is a new section in front, everything else will be moved. Alternatively I could have adjusted all ".org" statements. But this current solution seems to be the easiest one, since nobody really cares where the _text symbol is actually located.
