[S390] kernel: Add OS info memory interface

2012-03-11T15:59:29+00:00

In order to allow kdump based stand-alone dump, some information
has to be passed from the old kernel to the new dump kernel. This
is done via a the struct "os_info" that contains the following fields:
 * crashkernel base and size
 * reipl block
 * vmcoreinfo
 * init function
A pointer to os_info is stored at a well known storage location
and the whole structure as well as all fields are secured with
checksums.

[S390] kernel: Add z/VM LGR detection

2012-03-11T15:59:29+00:00

Currently the following mechanisms are available to move active
Linux on System z instances between machines:
* z/VM 6.2 SSI (Single System Image)
* Suspend/resume
For moving Linux instances in this patch the term LGR (Linux Guest
Relocation) is used. Because such an operation is critical, it
should be detectable from Linux. With this patch for both, a live
system and a kernel dump, the information about LGRs is accessible.
To identify a guest, stsi and stfle data is used. A new function
lgr_info_log() compares the current data (lgr_info_cur) with the
last recorded one (lgr_info_last). In case the two data sets differ,
lgr_info_cur is logged to the "lgr" s390dbf.

The following trigger points call lgr_info_log():
* panic
* die
* kdump
* LGR timer
* PSW restart
* QDIO recovery
* resume

This patch also changes the s390dbf hex_ascii view. Now only printable ASCII
characters are shown.

[S390] Use copy_to_absolute_zero() instead of "stura/sturg"

2012-03-11T15:59:28+00:00

Use the new copy_to_absolute_zero() function instead of manual "stura"
and "sturg" to make the code shorter and more readable.

[S390] rework smp code

2012-03-11T15:59:28+00:00

Define struct pcpu and merge some of the NR_CPUS arrays into it, including
__cpu_logical_map, current_set and smp_cpu_state. Split smp related
functions to those operating on physical cpus and the functions operating
on a logical cpu number. Make the functions for physical cpus use a
pointer to a struct pcpu. This hides the knowledge about cpu addresses in
smp.c, entry[64].S and swsusp_asm64.S, thus remove the sigp.h header.

The PSW restart mechanism is used to start secondary cpus, calling a
function on an online cpu, calling a function on the ipl cpu, and for
the nmi signal. Replace the different assembler functions with a
single function restart_int_handler. The new entry point calls a function
whose pointer is stored in the lowcore of the target cpu and it can wait
for the source cpu to stop. This covers all existing use cases.

Overall the code is now simpler and there are ~380 lines less code.

[S390] cleanup psw related bits and pieces

2011-10-30T14:16:43+00:00

Split out addressing mode bits from PSW_BASE_BITS, rename PSW_BASE_BITS
to PSW_MASK_BASE, get rid of psw_user32_bits, remove unused function
enabled_wait(), introduce PSW_MASK_USER, and drop PSW_MASK_MERGE macros.
Change psw_kernel_bits / psw_user_bits to contain only the bits that
are always set in the respective mode.

[S390] Force PSW restart on online CPU

2011-10-30T14:16:41+00:00

PSW restart can be triggered on offline CPUs. If this happens, currently
the PSW restart code fails, because functions like smp_processor_id()
do not work on offline CPUs. This patch fixes this as follows:

If PSW restart is triggered on an offline CPU, the PSW restart (sigp restart)
is done a second time on another CPU that is online and the old CPU is
stopped afterwards.

[S390] Change default action from reipl to stop for on_restart

2011-08-24T15:15:24+00:00

The main purpose for PSW restart will be kdump. Therefore customers will
issue "system restart" for creating a dump. If kdump is not enabled,
currently "PSW restart" will reboot the system and then no dump can
be created any more. In order to still allow a manual stand-alone dump in
the case a user issues "PSW restart" on a system that has not enabled
kdump we now stop the system.
