s390/ipl: cleanup macro usage

2015-03-25T10:49:50+00:00

ipl.c uses 3 different macros to create a sysfs show function for ipl attributes. Define IPL_ATTR_SHOW_FN which is used by all macros. Reviewed-by: Michael Holzheu Signed-off-by: Sebastian Ott Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390: remove 31 bit support

2015-03-25T10:49:33+00:00

Remove the 31 bit support in order to reduce maintenance cost and effectively remove dead code. Since a couple of years there is no distribution left that comes with a 31 bit kernel. The 31 bit kernel also has been broken since more than a year before anybody noticed. In addition I added a removal warning to the kernel shown at ipl for 5 minutes: a960062e5826 ("s390: add 31 bit warning message") which let everybody know about the plan to remove 31 bit code. We didn't get any response. Given that the last 31 bit only machine was introduced in 1999 let's remove the code. Anybody with 31 bit user space code can still use the compat mode.

s390: add SMT support

2015-01-22T11:16:01+00:00

The multi-threading facility is introduced with the z13 processor family. This patch adds code to detect the multi-threading facility. With the facility enabled each core will surface multiple hardware threads to the system. Each hardware threads looks like a normal CPU to the operating system with all its registers and properties. The SCLP interface reports the SMT topology indirectly via the maximum thread id. Each reported CPU in the result of a read-scp-information is a core representing a number of hardware threads. To reflect the reduced CPU capacity if two hardware threads run on a single core the MT utilization counter set is used to normalize the raw cputime obtained by the CPU timer deltas. This scaled cputime is reported via the taskstats interface. The normal /proc/stat numbers are based on the raw cputime and are not affected by the normalization. Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/ipl: Add missing SCSI loadparm attributes to /sys/firmware

2014-09-01T07:56:29+00:00

Currently the loadparm is only supported for CCW IPL. But also for SCSI IPL it can be specified either on the HMC load panel respectively z/VM console or via diagnose 308. So fix this for SCSI and add the required sysfs attributes for reading the IPL loadparm and for setting the loadparm for re-IPL. With this patch the following two sysfs attributes are introduced: - /sys/firmware/ipl/loadparm (for system that have been IPLed from SCSI) - /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/loadparm Because the loadparm is now available for SCSI and CCW it is moved now from "struct ipl_block_ccw" to the generic "struct ipl_list_hdr".

s390/kdump: Clear subchannel ID to signal non-CCW/SCSI IPL

2014-08-12T11:00:06+00:00

For CCW and SCSI IPL the hardware sets the subchannel ID and number correctly at 0xb8. For kdump at 0xb8 normally there is the data of the previously IPLed system. In order to be clean now for kdump and kexec always set the subchannel ID and number to zero. This tells the next OS that no CCW/SCSI IPL has been done.

s390/ipl: Fix FCP WWPN and LUN format strings for read

2013-06-24T09:16:34+00:00

The following git commit changed the behavior of sscanf: commit 53809751ac230a3611b5cdd375f3389f3207d471 Author: Jan Beulich Date: Mon Dec 17 16:01:31 2012 -0800 sscanf: don't ignore field widths for numeric conversions This broke the WWPN and LUN sysfs attributes for s390 reipl and dump on panic. Example: $ echo 0x0123456701234567 > /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/wwpn $ cat /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/wwpn 0x0001234567012345 So fix this and use format strings that work also with the new sscanf implementation: $ echo 0x012345670123456789 > /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/wwpn $ cat /sys/firmware/reipl/fcp/wwpn 0x0123456701234567 Cc: stable@vger.kernel.org # 3.8+ Reviewed-by: Steffen Maier Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky

s390/ipl: Implement diag308 loop for zfcpdump

2013-02-14T14:55:05+00:00

When a zfcpdump is triggered and a second dump on the same CEC is already in progress for another LPAR, diagnose 308 returns with an error code until the first dump is finished. Currently the second Linux stops with a disabled wait PSW in that case. This is improved now by by triggering diag 308 in a loop until it works.
