2007-07-10	[S390] sclp: Test facility list before executing a service call.	Heiko Carstens	1	-0/+1
	Check if a command is available before executing. Saves some superfluous service calls that won't succeed anyway. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2007-07-10	[S390] sclp: introduce some new interfaces.	Heiko Carstens	1	-30/+16
	Introduce some new interfaces so that random subsystems don't have to mess around with sclp internal structures. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2007-04-27	[S390] zfcpdump support.	Michael Holzheu	1	-0/+2
	s390 machines provide hardware support for creating Linux dumps on SCSI disks. For creating a dump a special purpose dump Linux is used. The first 32 MB of memory are saved by the hardware before the dump Linux is booted. Via an SCLP interface, the saved memory can be accessed from Linux. This patch exports memory and registers of the crashed Linux to userspace via a debugfs file. For more information refer to Documentation/s390/zfcpdump.txt, which is included in this patch.

2007-04-27	[S390] cio: Channel-path configure function.	Peter Oberparleiter	1	-0/+12
	Add a new attribute to the channel-path sysfs directory through which channel-path configure operations can be triggered. Also listen for hardware events requesting channel-path configure operations and process them accordingly.

2007-02-05	[S390] Convert memory detection into C code.	Heiko Carstens	1	-0/+39
	Hopefully this will make it more maintainable and less error prone. Code makes use of search_exception_tables(). Since it calls this function before the kernel exeception table is sorted, there is an early call to sort_main_extable(). This way it's easy to use the already present infrastructure of fixup sections. Also this would allows to easily convert the rest of head[31\|64].S into C code.
