* docs: move s390 under archCosta Shulyupin2023-07-241-445/+0
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | and fix all in-tree references. Architecture-specific documentation is being moved into Documentation/arch/ as a way of cleaning up the top-level documentation directory and making the docs hierarchy more closely match the source hierarchy.

* vfio/ccw: remove old IDA format restrictionsEric Farman2023-01-091-2/+2
| | | | | | | | | | | By this point, all the pieces are in place to properly support a 2K Format-2 IDAL, and to convert a guest Format-1 IDAL to the 2K Format-2 variety. Let's remove the fence that prohibits them, and allow a guest to submit them if desired.

* vfio/mdev: embedd struct mdev_parent in the parent data structureChristoph Hellwig2022-10-041-1/+1
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Simplify mdev_{un}register_device by requiring the caller to pass in a structure allocate as part of the parent device structure. This removes the need for a list of parents and the separate mdev_parent refcount as we can simplify rely on the reference to the parent device.

* vfio-ccw: Introduce a new CRW regionFarhan Ali2020-06-031-0/+20
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | This region provides a mechanism to pass a Channel Report Word that affect vfio-ccw devices, and needs to be passed to the guest for its awareness and/or processing. The base driver (see crw_collect_info()) provides space for two CRWs, as a subchannel event may have two CRWs chained together (one for the ssid, one for the subchannel). As vfio-ccw will deal with everything at the subchannel level, provide space for a single CRW to be transferred in one shot.

| | | | | | | | | | | | | The schib region can be used by userspace to get the subchannel- information block (SCHIB) for the passthrough subchannel. This can be useful to get information such as channel path information via the SCHIB.PMCW fields.

* vfio-ccw: Enable transparent CCW IPL from DASDJared Rossi2020-06-021-0/+6
| | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | | Remove the explicit prefetch check when using vfio-ccw devices. This check does not trigger in practice as all Linux channel programs are intended to use prefetch. It is expected that all ORBs issued by Linux will request prefetch. Although non-prefetching ORBs are not rejected, they will prefetch nonetheless. A warning is issued up to once per 5 seconds when a forced prefetch occurs. A non-prefetch ORB does not necessarily result in an error, however frequent encounters with non-prefetch ORBs indicate that channel programs are being executed in a way that is inconsistent with what the guest is requesting. While there is currently no known case of an error caused by forced prefetch, it is possible in theory that forced prefetch could result in an error if applied to a channel program that is dependent on non-prefetch.

* docs: s390: convert docs to ReST and rename to *.rstMauro Carvalho Chehab2019-06-111-0/+326
Convert all text files with s390 documentation to ReST format. Tried to preserve as much as possible the original document format. Still, some of the files required some work in order for it to be visible on both plain text and after converted to html. The conversion is actually: - add blank lines and identation in order to identify paragraphs; - fix tables markups; - add some lists markups; - mark literal blocks; - adjust title markups. At its new index.rst, let's add a :orphan: while this is not linked to the main index.rst file, in order to avoid build warnings.
