2007-07-17[S390] vmcp cleanupChristian Borntraeger
A number of small changes to vmcp: - Change preferred email address. - Use PRINT_xxx machros from debug.h like most s390 drivers, define "vmcp:" as PRINTK_HEADER and wrap error message at column 80. - Add error number to error message. - Update copyright, as I touched this file. - Small whitespace diff. - Use mutex instead of semaphore (Thanks Heiko for the patch) - Don't register debug feature on failure. - Check debug feature registration on init to avoid a potential oops on unload if the debug feature could not be registered--> 2 more messages.

2007-07-10[S390] vmcp cleanupRobert P. J. Day
No need to use the "&" prefix and, since you're calling nonseekable_open(), there is no need to use no_llseek(). Signed-off-by: Robert P. J. Day <rpjday@mindspring.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
2007-02-12[PATCH] mark struct file_operations const 5Arjan van de Ven
Many struct file_operations in the kernel can be "const". Marking them const moves these to the .rodata section, which avoids false sharing with potential dirty data. In addition it'll catch accidental writes at compile time to these shared resources.

2007-01-09[S390] locking problem with __cpcmd.Christian Borntraeger
Changeset 740b5706b9c4b3767f597b3ea76654c6f2a800b2 moved the protecting spinlock from __cpcmd to cpcmd. Therefore vmcp can no longer use __cpcmd, instead we have to use cpcmd. Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <cborntra@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>

2005-11-07[PATCH] s390: fix memory leak in vmcpChristian Borntraeger
If vmcp is interrupted by a signal the vmcp command buffer is not freed. Found by Pete Zaitcev.

2005-07-27[PATCH] s390: use __cpcmd in vmcp_writeChristian Borntraeger
vmcp_write uses GPF_DMA for the memory allocation of the response buffer, so it can use the low level function __cpcmd directly, no need to call the wrapper.

2005-06-25[PATCH] s390: debug feature changesMichael Holzheu
This patch changes the memory allocation method for the s390 debug feature. Trace buffers had been allocated using the get_free_pages() function before. Therefore it was not possible to get big memory areas in a running system due to memory fragmentation. Now the trace buffers are subdivided into several subbuffers with pagesize. Therefore it is now possible to allocate more memory for the trace buffers and more trace records can be written. In addition to that, dynamic specification of the size of the trace buffers is implemented. It is now possible to change the size of a trace buffer using a new debugfs file instance. When writing a number into this file, the trace buffer size is changed to 'number * pagesize'. In the past all the traces could be obtained from userspace by accessing files in the "proc" filesystem. Now with debugfs we have a new filesystem which should be used for debugging purposes. This patch moves the debug feature from procfs to debugfs. Since the interface of debug_register() changed, all device drivers, which use the debug feature had to be adjusted.
