      [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.
