* [S390] Extra Kernel Parameters via VMPARMHendrik Brueckner2008-07-141-3/+14
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Now it is possible to specify additional kernel parameters on the IPL command line using the IPL PARM option. If the Linux system is already running, the new reipl sysfs attribute 'parm' can be used to change kernel parameters for the next reboot. Examples: IPL C PARM dasd=1234 root=/dev/dasda1 IPL 1234 PARM savesys=mylnxnss echo "init=/bin/bash" > /sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/parm Signed-off-by: Hendrik Brueckner <brueckner@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] Use diag308 subcodes 3 and 6 for reboot and dump when possible.Michael Holzheu2008-01-261-0/+4
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This patch fixes a problem with the following scenario: 1. Linux booted from DASD "A" 2. Reboot from DASD "B" using "/sys/firmware/reipl/ccw/device" 3. Reboot DASD "B" Without this patch in step 3 on newer s390 systems under LPAR instead of DASD "B", DASD "A" will be booted. The reason is that in step 2 we use CCW reipl and in step 3 we use DIAG308 (subcode 3) reipl. DIAG308 does not notice the CCW reipl and still thinks that it has to reboot DASD "A". Before applying this fix, ensure to have MCF RJ9967101E or z9 GA3 base driver installed. Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] kernel: Shutdown Actions InterfaceMichael Holzheu2008-01-261-1/+3
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | In case of a kernel panic it is currently possible to specify that a dump should be created, the system should be rebooted or stopped. Virtual sysfs files under the directory /sys/firmware/ are used for that configuration. In addition to that, there are kernel parameters 'vmhalt', 'vmpoff' and 'vmpanic', which can be used to specify z/VM commands, which are automatically executed in case of halt, power off or a kernel panic. This patch combines both functionalities and allows to specify the z/VM CP commands also via sysfs attributes. In addition to that, it enhances the existing handling of shutdown triggers (e.g. halt or panic) and associated shutdown actions (e.g. dump or reipl) and makes it more flexible.

* [S390] zfcpdump support.Michael Holzheu2007-04-271-0/+32
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.

* [S390] reboot from and dump to SCSI under z/VM fails.Michael Holzheu2007-03-191-0/+5
| | | | | | | | | We used wrong length values for ipl and dump hardware structures. Since z/VM checks the ipl parameters more accurately than LPAR, the operations fail there. Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] reipl: move dump_prefix_page out of text section.Heiko Carstens2007-03-051-0/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | Reipl doesn't work on older machines were s390_reset_machine() gets called. The reason is that the text section is read-only but the variable dump_prefix_page is there. Since s390_reset_machine() writes to it we get a protection exception. Therefore move dump_prefix_page to the bss section.

* [S390] New header file ipl.hMichael Holzheu2007-02-211-0/+113
Setup.h has been misused for ipl related stuff in the past. We now move everything, which has to do with ipl and reipl to a new header file named "ipl.h". Signed-off-by: Michael Holzheu <holzheu@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
