* s390/vmcp: split vmcp header file and move to uapiHeiko Carstens2017-08-091-31/+0
| | | | | | | | | Split the vmcp header file and move the device driver internal structure to the C file, and move the ioctl definitions to the uapi directory. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com>
* s390/vmcp: make use of contiguous memory allocatorHeiko Carstens2017-08-091-1/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | If memory is fragmented it is unlikely that large order memory allocations succeed. This has been an issue with the vmcp device driver since a long time, since it requires large physical contiguous memory ares for large responses. To hopefully resolve this issue make use of the contiguous memory allocator (cma). This patch adds a vmcp specific vmcp cma area with a default size of 4MB. The size can be changed either via the VMCP_CMA_SIZE config option at compile time or with the "vmcp_cma" kernel parameter (e.g. "vmcp_cma=16m"). For any vmcp response buffers larger than 16k memory from the cma area will be allocated. If such an allocation fails, there is a fallback to the buddy allocator.

* s390/comments: unify copyright messages and remove file namesHeiko Carstens2012-07-201-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the file name from the comment at top of many files. In most cases the file name was wrong anyway, so it's rather pointless. Also unify the IBM copyright statement. We did have a lot of sightly different statements and wanted to change them one after another whenever a file gets touched. However that never happened. Instead people start to take the old/"wrong" statements to use as a template for new files. So unify all of them in one go. Signed-off-by: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
* [S390] vmcp cleanupChristian Borntraeger2007-07-171-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | 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.
