    s390/ipl: Use diagnose 8 command separation · 8143adaf
    Michael Holzheu 提交于
    Currently the vmcmd shutdown action is parsed by the kernel and
    if multiple cp commands have been specified, they are issued
    separately with the cpcmd() function.
    
    The underlying diagnose 8 instruction already allows to specify
    multiple commands that are separated by 0x15. The ASCEBC() function
    used by cpcmd() translates '\n' to 0x15. The '\n' character is
    currently used as vmcmd command separator and therefore the vmcmd
    string can be passed directly to the cpcmd() function.
    
    Using the diagnose 8 command separation has the advantage that also
    after disruptive commands that stop Linux, for example "def store",
    additional commands can be executed.
