2009-09-24hvc_console: Provide (un)locked version for hvc_resize()Hendrik Brueckner1-1/+3
Rename the locking free hvc_resize() function to __hvc_resize() and provide an inline function that locks the hvc_struct and calls __hvc_resize(). The rationale for this patch is that virtio_console calls the hvc_resize() function without locking the hvc_struct. So it needs to call the lock itself. According to naming rules, the unlocked version is renamed and prefixed with "__". References to unlocked function calls in hvc back-ends has been updated.

2009-06-16[S390] pm: hvc_iucv power management callbacksHendrik Brueckner1-43/+161
The patch adds supporting for suspending and resuming IUCV HVC terminal devices from disk. The obligatory Linux device driver interfaces has been added by registering a device driver on the IUCV bus. For each IUCV HVC terminal device the driver creates a respective device on the IUCV bus. To support suspend and resume, the PM freeze callback severs any established IUCV communication path and triggers a HVC tty hang-up when the system image is restored. IUCV communication path are no longer valid when the z/VM guest is halted. The device driver initialization has been updated to register devices and the a new routine has been extracted to facilitate the hang-up of IUCV HVC terminal devices.

2009-03-26[S390] hvc_iucv: Provide IUCV z/VM user ID filteringHendrik Brueckner1-8/+246
This patch introduces the kernel parameter hvc_iucv_allow= that specifies a comma-separated list of z/VM user IDs. If specified, the z/VM IUCV hypervisor console device driver accepts IUCV connections from listed z/VM user IDs only.

2009-03-26[S390] hvc_iucv: Update and add missing kernel messagesHendrik Brueckner1-2/+5
If the hvc_iucv= kernel parameter specifies a value that is not valid, display an error message. Minor changes to existing kernel messages. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2009-01-09[S390] hvc_iucv: Special handling of IUCV HVC devicesHendrik Brueckner1-12/+28
This patch introduces special handling of the IUCV HVC console device. If the first IUCV HVC terminal is used as (preferred) Linux console, and needs some special handling for hangup. The hvc_iucv_private structure contains a flag to indicate whether a IUCV HVC device is used as a console. A terminal acting as "console" behaves different if a tty hangup occurs: If the iucv communication path is severed, a tty hangup is not triggered (because the HVC layer does not notify its back-end in that case). Instead, the console session is left unchanged and the IUCV HVC device is reset to allow re-connects. Note: Any output between the disconnect and a re-connect is discarded.

2009-01-09[S390] hvc_iucv: Refactor console and device initializationHendrik Brueckner1-16/+9
The console_initcall() order might pick up the hvc_iucv device as preferred console even if it is not yet initialized. Move HVC console instantiation to hvc_iucv_init() and cleanup device driver initialization.

2009-01-09[S390] hvc_iucv: Limit rate of outgoing IUCV messagesHendrik Brueckner1-37/+174
This patch introduces a send buffer to limit outgoing IUCV messages up to a maximum of 25 IUCV messages per second. If no communication path to a IUCV HVC terminal exist, any data written to the terminal is discarded.

The patch renames the IUCV application ID from "ihvc" to "lnxhvc". The device driver allocates one IUCV terminal device (lnxhvc0) as default. Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2008-12-25[S390] s390/hvc_console: z/VM IUCV hypervisor console supportHendrik Brueckner1-0/+850
This patch introduces a new hypervisor console (HVC) back-end that provides terminal access over the z/VM inter-user communication vehicle (IUCV). The z/VM IUCV communication is independent of the regular tcp/ip network and allows access even if there is no network connection between two z/VM guest virtual machines. The z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end helps the user to access a z/VM guest virtual machine that lacks of network connectivity; and thus, provides a "full-screen" terminal alternative to 3215/3270 terminal sessions. Use the hvc_iucv=[0..8] kernel boot parameter to specify the number of HVC terminals using a z/VM IUCV back-end. A recent version of the s390-tools package is required to establish a terminal connection to a z/VM IUCV hypervisor console back-end.
