2012-09-26	s390/sysinfo,stsi: change return code handling	Heiko Carstens	1	-19/+10
	Change return code handling of the stsi() function: In case function code 0 was specified the return value is the current configuration level (already shifted). That way all the code that actually copied the stsi_0() function can go away. Otherwise the return value is 0 (success) or negative to indicate an error (currently only -EOPNOTSUPP). Also stsi() is no longer an inline function. The function is not performance critical, but every caller would generate an exception table entry for this function.

2012-07-20	s390/lgr: Add init check to lgr_info_log()	Michael Holzheu	1	-10/+5
	If lgr has not been initialized, the lgr_info_log() function currently crashes because 'lgr_page' is not allocated. To fix this 'lgr_page' is allocated statically now. Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2012-03-11	[S390] kernel: Add z/VM LGR detection	Michael Holzheu	1	-0/+200
	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.
