      s390/pai: rename structure member users to active_events · 58354c7d
      Thomas Richter authored 
      Rename structure member users to active_events to make it consistent
with PMU pai_ext. Also use the same prefix syntax for increment and
decrement operators in both PMUs.

      s390/pai: rework pai_crypto mapped buffer reference count · d3db4ac3
      Thomas Richter authored 
      Rework the mapped buffer reference count in PMU pai_crypto
to match the same technique as in PMU pai_ext.
This simplifies the logic.
Do not count the individual number of counter and sampling
processes. Remember the type of access and the total number of
references to the buffer.

      s390/pai: move enum definition to header file · 4c787963
      Thomas Richter authored 
      Move enum definition to header file. This is done in preparation
for a follow on patch where this enum will be used in another source
file.
Also change the enum name from paiext_mode to paievt_mode
to indicate this enum is now used for several events.
Make naming consistent and rename PAI_MODE_COUNTER to PAI_MODE_COUNTING.

      s390/con3215: Drop console data printout when buffer full · 1f3307cf
      Thomas Richter authored 
      Using z/VM the 3270 terminal emulator also emulates an IBM 3215 console
which outputs line by line. When the screen is full, the console enters
the MORE... state and waits for the operator to confirm the data
on the screen by pressing a clear key. If this does not happen in the
default time frame (currently 50 seconds) the console enters the HOLDING
state.
It then waits another time frame (currently 10 seconds) before the output
continues on the next screen. When the operator presses the clear key
during these wait times, the output continues immediately.

This may lead to a very long boot time when the console
has to print many messages, also the system may hang because of the
console's limited buffer space and the system waits for the console
output to drain and finally to finish. This problem can only occur
when a terminal emulator is actually connected to the 3215 console
driver. If not z/VM simply drops console output.

Remedy this rare situation and add a kernel boot command line parameter
con3215_drop. It can be set to 0 (do not drop) or 1 (do drop) which is
the default. This instructs the kernel drop console data when the
console buffer is full. This speeds up the boot time considerable and
also does not hang the system anymore.

Add a sysfs attribute file for console IBM 3215 named con_drop.
This allows for changing the behavior after the boot, for example when
during interactive debugging a panic/crash is expected.

Here is a test of the new behavior using the following test program:
 #/bin/bash
 declare -i cnt=4

 mode=$(cat /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/3215/con_drop)
 [ $mode = yes ] && cnt=25

 echo "cons_drop $(cat /sys/bus/ccw/drivers/3215/con_drop)"
 echo "vmcp term more 5 2"
 vmcp term more 5 2
 echo "Run $cnt iterations of "'echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger'

 for i in $(seq $cnt)
 do
	echo "$i. command 'echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger' at $(date +%F,%T)"
	echo t > /proc/sysrq-trigger
	sleep 1
 done
 echo "droptest done" > /dev/kmsg
 #

Output with sysfs attribute con_drop set to 1:
 # ./droptest.sh
 cons_drop yes
 vmcp term more 5 2

There are no hangs anymore.

Output with sysfs attribute con_drop set to 0 and identical
setting for z/VM console 'term more 5 2'. Sometimes hitting the
clear key at the x3270 console to progress output.

 # ./droptest.sh
 cons_drop no

Details:
Enable function raw3215_write() to handle tab expansion and newlines
and feed it with input not larger than the console buffer of 65536
bytes. Function raw3125_putchar() just forwards its character for
output to raw3215_write().

This moves tab to blank conversion to one function raw3215_write()
which also does call raw3215_make_room() to wait for enough free
buffer space.

Function handle_write() loops over all its input and segments input
into chunks of console buffer size (should the input be larger).

Rework tab expansion handling logic to avoid code duplication.

      s390/con3215: Simplify console write operation · 655ae931
      Thomas Richter authored 
      The functions con3215_write() and tty3215_write() have nearly
identical function bodies and a slightly different function prototype.
Create function handle_write() to handle the common function
body and maintain the function prototypes.
