    [S390] kernel: Add z/VM LGR detection · 3ab121ab
    Michael Holzheu 提交于
    Currently the following mechanisms are available to move active
    Linux on System z instances between machines:
    * z/VM 6.2 SSI (Single System Image)
    * Suspend/resume
    For moving Linux instances in this patch the term LGR (Linux Guest
    Relocation) is used. Because such an operation is critical, it
    should be detectable from Linux. With this patch for both, a live
    system and a kernel dump, the information about LGRs is accessible.
    To identify a guest, stsi and stfle data is used. A new function
    lgr_info_log() compares the current data (lgr_info_cur) with the
    last recorded one (lgr_info_last). In case the two data sets differ,
    lgr_info_cur is logged to the "lgr" s390dbf.
    
    The following trigger points call lgr_info_log():
    * panic
    * die
    * kdump
    * LGR timer
    * PSW restart
    * QDIO recovery
    * resume
    
    This patch also changes the s390dbf hex_ascii view. Now only printable ASCII
    characters are shown.
