The S390 architecture does not support any graphics hardware, but with the latest support for Virtio GPU in Linux and Virtio GPU emulation in QEMU, it's possible to enable graphics for S390 using the Virtio GPU device. To enable display we need to enable the Linux Virtual Terminal (VT) layer for S390. But the VT subsystem initializes quite early at boot so we need a dummy console driver till the Virtio GPU driver is initialized and we can run the framebuffer console. The framebuffer console over a Virtio GPU device can be run in combination with the serial SCLP console (default on S390). The SCLP console can still be accessed by management applications (eg: via Libvirt's virsh console).

The Linux Virtual Terminal (VT) layer provides a default keymap which is compiled when VT layer is enabled. But at the same time we are also compiling the EBCDIC keymap and this causes the linker to complain. So let's rename the EBCDIC keymap variables to prevent linker conflict.

The 'commit e25df120 ("[S390] Kconfig: menus with depends on HAS_IOMEM.")' added the HAS_IOMEM dependecy for "Graphics support". This disabled the "Graphics support" menu for S390. But if we enable VT layer for S390, we would also need to enable the dummy console. So let's remove the HAS_IOMEM dependency. Move this dependency to sub menu items and console drivers that use io memory.

Even though s390 compressed kernel support has been introduced long ago, by default uncompressed kernel image is used by packaging targets like: "make rpm-pkg", "make deb-pkg" as well as "make image_name". At the same time "make install" would use compressed bzImage by default. To avoid ambiguity, set bzImage as default image for packaging.

Qemu before version 2.11 does not implement the architecture correctly, and does not allow for a mask size of size different than 4. This patch introduces a compatibility mode for such systems, forcing the mask sizes to 4. Since the mask size is currently still 4 anyway, this patch should have no impact whatsoever by itself, but it will be needed when the mask size is increased to 64 bits in the next patch.

When a timeout occurs for users of ccw_device_start_timeout we will stop the IO and call the drivers int handler with the irb pointer set to ERR_PTR(-ETIMEDOUT).

There are cases a device driver can't start IO because the device is currently in use by cio. In this case the device driver is notified when the device is usable again. Using ccw_device_start_timeout we would set the timeout (and change an existing timeout) before we test for internal usage. Worst case this could lead to an unexpected timer deletion. Fix this by setting the timeout after we test for internal usage. Signed-off-by: Sebastian Ott <sebott@linux.vnet.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

Internal DASD device driver I/O such as query host access count or path verification is started using the _sleep_on() function. To mark a request as started or ended the callback_data is set to either DASD_SLEEPON_START_TAG or DASD_SLEEPON_END_TAG. In cases where the request has to be stopped unconditionally the status is set to DASD_SLEEPON_END_TAG as well which leads to immediate clearing of the request. But the request might still be on a device request queue for normal operation which might lead to a panic because of a BUG() statement in __dasd_device_process_final_queue() or a list corruption of the device request queue. Fix by removing the setting of DASD_SLEEPON_END_TAG in the dasd_cancel_req() and dasd_generic_requeue_all_requests() functions and ensure that the request is not deleted in the requeue function. Trigger the device tasklet in the requeue function and let the normal processing cleanup the request.

Commit fd8aa909 ("xen: optimize xenbus driver for multiple concurrent xenstore accesses") optimized xenbus concurrent accesses but in doing so broke UABI of /dev/xen/xenbus. Through /dev/xen/xenbus applications are in charge of xenbus message exchange with the correct header and body. Now, after the mentioned commit the replies received by application will no longer have the header req_id echoed back as it was on request (see specification below for reference), because that particular field is being overwritten by kernel. struct xsd_sockmsg { uint32_t type; /* XS_??? */ uint32_t req_id;/* Request identifier, echoed in daemon's response. */ uint32_t tx_id; /* Transaction id (0 if not related to a transaction). */ uint32_t len; /* Length of data following this. */ /* Generally followed by nul-terminated string(s). */ }; Before there was only one request at a time so req_id could simply be forwarded back and forth. To allow simultaneous requests we need a different req_id for each message thus kernel keeps a monotonic increasing counter for this field and is written on every request irrespective of userspace value. Forwarding again the req_id on userspace requests is not a solution because we would open the possibility of userspace-generated req_id colliding with kernel ones. So this patch instead takes another route which is to artificially keep user req_id while keeping the xenbus logic as is. We do that by saving the original req_id before xs_send(), use the private kernel counter as req_id and then once reply comes and was validated, we restore back the original req_id.
