A 3270 device is a block-mode rows-and-columns terminal of +which I'm sure hundreds of millions were sold by IBM and clonemakers +twenty and thirty years ago. + +You may have 3270s in-house and not know it. If you're using the +VM-ESA operating system, define a 3270 to your virtual machine by using +the command "DEF GRAF <hex-address>" This paper presumes you will be +defining four 3270s with the CP/CMS commands: + + - DEF GRAF 620 + - DEF GRAF 621 + - DEF GRAF 622 + - DEF GRAF 623 + +Your network connection from VM-ESA allows you to use x3270, tn3270, or +another 3270 emulator, started from an xterm window on your PC or +workstation. With the DEF GRAF command, an application such as xterm, +and this Linux-390 3270 driver, you have another way of talking to your +Linux box. + +This paper covers installation of the driver and operation of a +dialed-in x3270. + + +Installation +============ + +You install the driver by installing a patch, doing a kernel build, and +running the configuration script (config3270.sh, in this directory). + +WARNING: If you are using 3270 console support, you must rerun the +configuration script every time you change the console's address (perhaps +by using the condev= parameter in silo's /boot/parmfile). More precisely, +you should rerun the configuration script every time your set of 3270s, +including the console 3270, changes subchannel identifier relative to +one another. ReIPL as soon as possible after running the configuration +script and the resulting /tmp/mkdev3270. + +If you have chosen to make tub3270 a module, you add a line to a +configuration file under /etc/modprobe.d/. If you are working on a VM +virtual machine, you can use DEF GRAF to define virtual 3270 devices. + +You may generate both 3270 and 3215 console support, or one or the +other, or neither. If you generate both, the console type under VM is +not changed. Use #CP Q TERM to see what the current console type is. +Use #CP TERM CONMODE 3270 to change it to 3270. If you generate only +3270 console support, then the driver automatically converts your console +at boot time to a 3270 if it is a 3215. + +In brief, these are the steps: + + 1. Install the tub3270 patch + 2. (If a module) add a line to a file in `/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf` + 3. (If VM) define devices with DEF GRAF + 4. Reboot + 5. Configure + +To test that everything works, assuming VM and x3270, + + 1. Bring up an x3270 window. + 2. Use the DIAL command in that window. + 3. You should immediately see a Linux login screen. + +Here are the installation steps in detail: + + 1. The 3270 driver is a part of the official Linux kernel + source. Build a tree with the kernel source and any necessary + patches. Then do:: + + make oldconfig + (If you wish to disable 3215 console support, edit + .config; change CONFIG_TN3215's value to "n"; + and rerun "make oldconfig".) + make image + make modules + make modules_install + + 2. (Perform this step only if you have configured tub3270 as a + module.) Add a line to a file `/etc/modprobe.d/*.conf` to automatically + load the driver when it's needed. With this line added, you will see + login prompts appear on your 3270s as soon as boot is complete (or + with emulated 3270s, as soon as you dial into your vm guest using the + command "DIAL <vmguestname>"). Since the line-mode major number is + 227, the line to add should be:: + + alias char-major-227 tub3270 + + 3. Define graphic devices to your vm guest machine, if you + haven't already. Define them before you reboot (reipl): + + - DEFINE GRAF 620 + - DEFINE GRAF 621 + - DEFINE GRAF 622 + - DEFINE GRAF 623 + + 4. Reboot. The reboot process scans hardware devices, including + 3270s, and this enables the tub3270 driver once loaded to respond + correctly to the configuration requests of the next step. If + you have chosen 3270 console support, your console now behaves + as a 3270, not a 3215. + + 5. Run the 3270 configuration script config3270. It is + distributed in this same directory, Documentation/s390, as + config3270.sh. Inspect the output script it produces, + /tmp/mkdev3270, and then run that script. This will create the + necessary character special device files and make the necessary + changes to /etc/inittab. + + Then notify /sbin/init that /etc/inittab has changed, by issuing + the telinit command with the q operand:: + + cd Documentation/s390 + sh config3270.sh + sh /tmp/mkdev3270 + telinit q + + This should be sufficient for your first time. If your 3270 + configuration has changed and you're reusing config3270, you + should follow these steps:: + + Change 3270 configuration + Reboot + Run config3270 and /tmp/mkdev3270 + Reboot + +Here are the testing steps in detail: + + 1. Bring up an x3270 window, or use an actual hardware 3278 or + 3279, or use the 3270 emulator of your choice. You would be + running the emulator on your PC or workstation. You would use + the command, for example:: + + x3270 vm-esa-domain-name & + + if you wanted a 3278 Model 4 with 43 rows of 80 columns, the + default model number. The driver does not take advantage of + extended attributes. + + The screen you should now see contains a VM logo with input + lines near the bottom. Use TAB to move to the bottom line, + probably labeled "COMMAND ===>". + + 2. Use the DIAL command instead of the LOGIN command to connect + to one of the virtual 3270s you defined with the DEF GRAF + commands:: + + dial my-vm-guest-name + + 3. You should immediately see a login prompt from your + Linux-390 operating system. If that does not happen, you would + see instead the line "DIALED TO my-vm-guest-name 0620". + + To troubleshoot: do these things. + + A. Is the driver loaded? Use the lsmod command (no operands) + to find out. Probably it isn't. Try loading it manually, with + the command "insmod tub3270". Does that command give error + messages? Ha! There's your problem. + + B. Is the /etc/inittab file modified as in installation step 3 + above? Use the grep command to find out; for instance, issue + "grep 3270 /etc/inittab". Nothing found? There's your + problem! + + C. Are the device special files created, as in installation + step 2 above? Use the ls -l command to find out; for instance, + issue "ls -l /dev/3270/tty620". The output should start with the + letter "c" meaning character device and should contain "227, 1" + just to the left of the device name. No such file? no "c"? + Wrong major number? Wrong minor number? There's your + problem! + + D. Do you get the message:: + + "HCPDIA047E my-vm-guest-name 0620 does not exist"? + + If so, you must issue the command "DEF GRAF 620" from your VM + 3215 console and then reboot the system. + + + +OPERATION. +========== + +The driver defines three areas on the 3270 screen: the log area, the +input area, and the status area. + +The log area takes up all but the bottom two lines of the screen. The +driver writes terminal output to it, starting at the top line and going +down. When it fills, the status area changes from "Linux Running" to +"Linux More...". After a scrolling timeout of (default) 5 sec, the +screen clears and more output is written, from the top down. + +The input area extends from the beginning of the second-to-last screen +line to the start of the status area. You type commands in this area +and hit ENTER to execute them. + +The status area initializes to "Linux Running" to give you a warm +fuzzy feeling. When the log area fills up and output awaits, it +changes to "Linux More...". At this time you can do several things or +nothing. If you do nothing, the screen will clear in (default) 5 sec +and more output will appear. You may hit ENTER with nothing typed in +the input area to toggle between "Linux More..." and "Linux Holding", +which indicates no scrolling will occur. (If you hit ENTER with "Linux +Running" and nothing typed, the application receives a newline.) + +You may change the scrolling timeout value. For example, the following +command line:: + + echo scrolltime=60 > /proc/tty/driver/tty3270 + +changes the scrolling timeout value to 60 sec. Set scrolltime to 0 if +you wish to prevent scrolling entirely. + +Other things you may do when the log area fills up are: hit PA2 to +clear the log area and write more output to it, or hit CLEAR to clear +the log area and the input area and write more output to the log area. + +Some of the Program Function (PF) and Program Attention (PA) keys are +preassigned special functions. The ones that are not yield an alarm +when pressed. + +PA1 causes a SIGINT to the currently running application. You may do +the same thing from the input area, by typing "^C" and hitting ENTER. + +PA2 causes the log area to be cleared. If output awaits, it is then +written to the log area. + +PF3 causes an EOF to be received as input by the application. You may +cause an EOF also by typing "^D" and hitting ENTER. + +No PF key is preassigned to cause a job suspension, but you may cause a +job suspension by typing "^Z" and hitting ENTER. You may wish to +assign this function to a PF key. To make PF7 cause job suspension, +execute the command:: + + echo pf7=^z > /proc/tty/driver/tty3270 + +If the input you type does not end with the two characters "^n", the +driver appends a newline character and sends it to the tty driver; +otherwise the driver strips the "^n" and does not append a newline. +The IBM 3215 driver behaves similarly. + +Pf10 causes the most recent command to be retrieved from the tube's +command stack (default depth 20) and displayed in the input area. You +may hit PF10 again for the next-most-recent command, and so on. A +command is entered into the stack only when the input area is not made +invisible (such as for password entry) and it is not identical to the +current top entry. PF10 rotates backward through the command stack; +PF11 rotates forward. You may assign the backward function to any PF +key (or PA key, for that matter), say, PA3, with the command:: + + echo -e pa3=\\033k > /proc/tty/driver/tty3270 + +This assigns the string ESC-k to PA3. Similarly, the string ESC-j +performs the forward function. (Rationale: In bash with vi-mode line +editing, ESC-k and ESC-j retrieve backward and forward history. +Suggestions welcome.) + +Is a stack size of twenty commands not to your liking? Change it on +the fly. To change to saving the last 100 commands, execute the +command:: + + echo recallsize=100 > /proc/tty/driver/tty3270 + +Have a command you issue frequently? Assign it to a PF or PA key! Use +the command:: + + echo pf24="mkdir foobar; cd foobar" > /proc/tty/driver/tty3270 + +to execute the commands mkdir foobar and cd foobar immediately when you +hit PF24. Want to see the command line first, before you execute it? +Use the -n option of the echo command:: + + echo -n pf24="mkdir foo; cd foo" > /proc/tty/driver/tty3270 + + + +Happy testing!

This gives relief to the device drivers as they don't +have to deal with different bus types, polling versus interrupt +processing, shared versus non-shared interrupt processing, DMA versus port +I/O (PIO), and other hardware features more. However, this implies that +either every single device driver needs to implement the hardware I/O +attachment functionality itself, or the operating system provides for a +unified method to access the hardware, providing all the functionality that +every single device driver would have to provide itself. + +The document does not intend to explain the ESA/390 hardware architecture in +every detail.This information can be obtained from the ESA/390 Principles of +Operation manual (IBM Form. No. SA22-7201). + +In order to build common device support for ESA/390 I/O interfaces, a +functional layer was introduced that provides generic I/O access methods to +the hardware. + +The common device support layer comprises the I/O support routines defined +below. Some of them implement common Linux device driver interfaces, while +some of them are ESA/390 platform specific. + +Note: + In order to write a driver for S/390, you also need to look into the interface + described in Documentation/s390/driver-model.rst. + +Note for porting drivers from 2.4: + +The major changes are: + +* The functions use a ccw_device instead of an irq (subchannel). +* All drivers must define a ccw_driver (see driver-model.txt) and the associated + functions. +* request_irq() and free_irq() are no longer done by the driver. +* The oper_handler is (kindof) replaced by the probe() and set_online() functions + of the ccw_driver. +* The not_oper_handler is (kindof) replaced by the remove() and set_offline() + functions of the ccw_driver. +* The channel device layer is gone. +* The interrupt handlers must be adapted to use a ccw_device as argument. + Moreover, they don't return a devstat, but an irb. +* Before initiating an io, the options must be set via ccw_device_set_options(). +* Instead of calling read_dev_chars()/read_conf_data(), the driver issues + the channel program and handles the interrupt itself. + +ccw_device_get_ciw() + get commands from extended sense data. + +ccw_device_start(), ccw_device_start_timeout(), ccw_device_start_key(), ccw_device_start_key_timeout() + initiate an I/O request. + +ccw_device_resume() + resume channel program execution. + +ccw_device_halt() + terminate the current I/O request processed on the device. + +do_IRQ() + generic interrupt routine. This function is called by the interrupt entry + routine whenever an I/O interrupt is presented to the system. The do_IRQ() + routine determines the interrupt status and calls the device specific + interrupt handler according to the rules (flags) defined during I/O request + initiation with do_IO(). + +The next chapters describe the functions other than do_IRQ() in more details. +The do_IRQ() interface is not described, as it is called from the Linux/390 +first level interrupt handler only and does not comprise a device driver +callable interface. Instead, the functional description of do_IO() also +describes the input to the device specific interrupt handler. + +Note: + All explanations apply also to the 64 bit architecture s390x. + + +Common Device Support (CDS) for Linux/390 Device Drivers +======================================================== + +General Information +------------------- + +The following chapters describe the I/O related interface routines the +Linux/390 common device support (CDS) provides to allow for device specific +driver implementations on the IBM ESA/390 hardware platform. Those interfaces +intend to provide the functionality required by every device driver +implementation to allow to drive a specific hardware device on the ESA/390 +platform. Some of the interface routines are specific to Linux/390 and some +of them can be found on other Linux platforms implementations too. +Miscellaneous function prototypes, data declarations, and macro definitions +can be found in the architecture specific C header file +linux/arch/s390/include/asm/irq.h. + +Overview of CDS interface concepts +---------------------------------- + +Different to other hardware platforms, the ESA/390 architecture doesn't define +interrupt lines managed by a specific interrupt controller and bus systems +that may or may not allow for shared interrupts, DMA processing, etc.. Instead, +the ESA/390 architecture has implemented a so called channel subsystem, that +provides a unified view of the devices physically attached to the systems. +Though the ESA/390 hardware platform knows about a huge variety of different +peripheral attachments like disk devices (aka. DASDs), tapes, communication +controllers, etc. they can all be accessed by a well defined access method and +they are presenting I/O completion a unified way : I/O interruptions. Every +single device is uniquely identified to the system by a so called subchannel, +where the ESA/390 architecture allows for 64k devices be attached. + +Linux, however, was first built on the Intel PC architecture, with its two +cascaded 8259 programmable interrupt controllers (PICs), that allow for a +maximum of 15 different interrupt lines. All devices attached to such a system +share those 15 interrupt levels. Devices attached to the ISA bus system must +not share interrupt levels (aka. IRQs), as the ISA bus bases on edge triggered +interrupts. MCA, EISA, PCI and other bus systems base on level triggered +interrupts, and therewith allow for shared IRQs. However, if multiple devices +present their hardware status by the same (shared) IRQ, the operating system +has to call every single device driver registered on this IRQ in order to +determine the device driver owning the device that raised the interrupt. + +Up to kernel 2.4, Linux/390 used to provide interfaces via the IRQ (subchannel). +For internal use of the common I/O layer, these are still there. However, +device drivers should use the new calling interface via the ccw_device only. + +During its startup the Linux/390 system checks for peripheral devices. Each +of those devices is uniquely defined by a so called subchannel by the ESA/390 +channel subsystem. While the subchannel numbers are system generated, each +subchannel also takes a user defined attribute, the so called device number. +Both subchannel number and device number cannot exceed 65535. During sysfs +initialisation, the information about control unit type and device types that +imply specific I/O commands (channel command words - CCWs) in order to operate +the device are gathered. Device drivers can retrieve this set of hardware +information during their initialization step to recognize the devices they +support using the information saved in the struct ccw_device given to them. +This methods implies that Linux/390 doesn't require to probe for free (not +armed) interrupt request lines (IRQs) to drive its devices with. Where +applicable, the device drivers can use issue the READ DEVICE CHARACTERISTICS +ccw to retrieve device characteristics in its online routine. + +In order to allow for easy I/O initiation the CDS layer provides a +ccw_device_start() interface that takes a device specific channel program (one +or more CCWs) as input sets up the required architecture specific control blocks +and initiates an I/O request on behalf of the device driver. The +ccw_device_start() routine allows to specify whether it expects the CDS layer +to notify the device driver for every interrupt it observes, or with final status +only. See ccw_device_start() for more details. A device driver must never issue +ESA/390 I/O commands itself, but must use the Linux/390 CDS interfaces instead. + +For long running I/O request to be canceled, the CDS layer provides the +ccw_device_halt() function. Some devices require to initially issue a HALT +SUBCHANNEL (HSCH) command without having pending I/O requests. This function is +also covered by ccw_device_halt(). + + +get_ciw() - get command information word + +This call enables a device driver to get information about supported commands +from the extended SenseID data. + +:: + + struct ciw * + ccw_device_get_ciw(struct ccw_device *cdev, __u32 cmd); + +==== ======================================================== +cdev The ccw_device for which the command is to be retrieved. +cmd The command type to be retrieved. +==== ======================================================== + +ccw_device_get_ciw() returns: + +===== ================================================================ + NULL No extended data available, invalid device or command not found. +!NULL The command requested. +===== ================================================================ + +:: + + ccw_device_start() - Initiate I/O Request + +The ccw_device_start() routines is the I/O request front-end processor.

It is not required to schedule a +bottom-half, unless a non deterministically long running error recovery procedure +or similar needs to be scheduled. During I/O processing the Linux/390 generic +I/O device driver support has already obtained the IRQ lock, i.e. the handler +must not try to obtain it again when calling ccw_device_start() or we end in a +deadlock situation! + +If a device driver relies on an I/O request to be completed prior to start the +next it can reduce I/O processing overhead by chaining a NoOp I/O command +CCW_CMD_NOOP to the end of the submitted CCW chain. This will force Channel-End +and Device-End status to be presented together, with a single interrupt. +However, this should be used with care as it implies the channel will remain +busy, not being able to process I/O requests for other devices on the same +channel. Therefore e.g. read commands should never use this technique, as the +result will be presented by a single interrupt anyway. + +In order to minimize I/O overhead, a device driver should use the +DOIO_REPORT_ALL only if the device can report intermediate interrupt +information prior to device-end the device driver urgently relies on. In this +case all I/O interruptions are presented to the device driver until final +status is recognized. + +If a device is able to recover from asynchronously presented I/O errors, it can +perform overlapping I/O using the DOIO_EARLY_NOTIFICATION flag. While some +devices always report channel-end and device-end together, with a single +interrupt, others present primary status (channel-end) when the channel is +ready for the next I/O request and secondary status (device-end) when the data +transmission has been completed at the device. + +Above flag allows to exploit this feature, e.g. for communication devices that +can handle lost data on the network to allow for enhanced I/O processing. + +Unless the channel subsystem at any time presents a secondary status interrupt, +exploiting this feature will cause only primary status interrupts to be +presented to the device driver while overlapping I/O is performed. When a +secondary status without error (alert status) is presented, this indicates +successful completion for all overlapping ccw_device_start() requests that have +been issued since the last secondary (final) status. + +Channel programs that intend to set the suspend flag on a channel command word +(CCW) must start the I/O operation with the DOIO_ALLOW_SUSPEND option or the +suspend flag will cause a channel program check.

Also, + the interrupt handler (see below) should be set here. + +:: + + int (*probe) (struct ccw_device *cdev); + +Parameters: + cdev + - the device to be probed. + + +remove: + This function is called by the device layer upon removal of the driver, + the device or the module. The driver should perform cleanups here. + +:: + + int (*remove) (struct ccw_device *cdev); + +Parameters: + cdev + - the device to be removed. + + +set_online: + This function is called by the common I/O layer when the device is + activated via the 'online' attribute. The driver should finally + setup and activate the device here. + +:: + + int (*set_online) (struct ccw_device *); + +Parameters: + cdev + - the device to be activated. The common layer has + verified that the device is not already online. + + +set_offline: This function is called by the common I/O layer when the device is + de-activated via the 'online' attribute. The driver should shut + down the device, but not de-allocate its private data. + +:: + + int (*set_offline) (struct ccw_device *); + +Parameters: + cdev + - the device to be deactivated.

If the driver wants to keep the + device, it is moved into disconnected state. + * In disconnected state, device operational again (CIO_OPER). The + common I/O layer performs some sanity checks on device number and + Device / CU to be reasonably sure if it is still the same device. + If not, the old device is removed and a new one registered. By the + return code of the notify function the device driver signals if it + wants the device back: !0 for keeping, 0 to make the device being + removed and re-registered. + +:: + + int (*notify) (struct ccw_device *, int); + +Parameters: + cdev + - the device whose state changed. + + event + - the event that happened.

In order to accommodate drivers which use several +distinct handlers (e.g. multi subchannel devices), this is a member of ccw_device +instead of ccw_driver. +The handler is registered with the common layer during set_online() processing +before the driver is called, and is deregistered during set_offline() after the +driver has been called. Also, after registering / before deregistering, path +grouping resp. disbanding of the path group (if applicable) are performed. + +:: + + void (*handler) (struct ccw_device *dev, unsigned long intparm, struct irb *irb); + +Parameters: dev - the device the handler is called for + intparm - the intparm which allows the device driver to identify + the i/o the interrupt is associated with, or to recognize + the interrupt as unsolicited. + irb - interruption response block which contains the accumulated + status. + +The device driver is called from the common ccw_device layer and can retrieve +information about the interrupt from the irb parameter. + + +1.3 ccwgroup devices +-------------------- + +The ccwgroup mechanism is designed to handle devices consisting of multiple ccw +devices, like lcs or ctc. + +The ccw driver provides a 'group' attribute. Piping bus ids of ccw devices to +this attributes creates a ccwgroup device consisting of these ccw devices (if +possible). This ccwgroup device can be set online or offline just like a normal +ccw device. + +Each ccwgroup device also provides an 'ungroup' attribute to destroy the device +again (only when offline). This is a generic ccwgroup mechanism (the driver does +not need to implement anything beyond normal removal routines). + +A ccw device which is a member of a ccwgroup device carries a pointer to the +ccwgroup device in the driver_data of its device struct. This field must not be +touched by the driver - it should use the ccwgroup device's driver_data for its +private data. + +To implement a ccwgroup driver, please refer to include/asm/ccwgroup.h. Keep in +mind that most drivers will need to implement both a ccwgroup and a ccw +driver. + + +2. Channel paths +----------------- + +Channel paths show up, like subchannels, under the channel subsystem root (css0) +and are called 'chp0.<chpid>'. They have no driver and do not belong to any bus. +Please note, that unlike /proc/chpids in 2.4, the channel path objects reflect +only the logical state and not the physical state, since we cannot track the +latter consistently due to lacking machine support (we don't need to be aware +of it anyway). + +status + - Can be 'online' or 'offline'. + Piping 'on' or 'off' sets the chpid logically online/offline. + Piping 'on' to an online chpid triggers path reprobing for all devices + the chpid connects to. This can be used to force the kernel to re-use + a channel path the user knows to be online, but the machine hasn't + created a machine check for. + +type + - The physical type of the channel path. + +shared + - Whether the channel path is shared. + +cmg + - The channel measurement group. + +3. System devices +----------------- + +3.1 xpram +--------- + +xpram shows up under devices/system/ as 'xpram'. + +3.2 cpus +-------- + +For each cpu, a directory is created under devices/system/cpu/.

You also need z/VM version 4.4 or 5.1. + +There are two options for being able to load the monitor DCSS (examples assume +that the monitor DCSS begins at 144 MB and ends at 152 MB). You can query the +location of the monitor DCSS with the Class E privileged CP command Q NSS MAP +(the values BEGPAG and ENDPAG are given in units of 4K pages). + +See also "CP Command and Utility Reference" (SC24-6081-00) for more information +on the DEF STOR and Q NSS MAP commands, as well as "Saved Segments Planning +and Administration" (SC24-6116-00) for more information on DCSSes. + +1st option: +----------- +You can use the CP command DEF STOR CONFIG to define a "memory hole" in your +guest virtual storage around the address range of the DCSS. + +Example: DEF STOR CONFIG 0.140M 200M.200M + +This defines two blocks of storage, the first is 140MB in size an begins at +address 0MB, the second is 200MB in size and begins at address 200MB, +resulting in a total storage of 340MB. Note that the first block should +always start at 0 and be at least 64MB in size. + +2nd option: +----------- +Your guest virtual storage has to end below the starting address of the DCSS +and you have to specify the "mem=" kernel parameter in your parmfile with a +value greater than the ending address of the DCSS. + +Example:: + + DEF STOR 140M + +This defines 140MB storage size for your guest, the parameter "mem=160M" is +added to the parmfile. + + +User Interface +============== +The char device is implemented as a kernel module named "monreader", +which can be loaded via the modprobe command, or it can be compiled into the +kernel instead. There is one optional module (or kernel) parameter, "mondcss", +to specify the name of the monitor DCSS. If the module is compiled into the +kernel, the kernel parameter "monreader.mondcss=<DCSS NAME>" can be specified +in the parmfile. + +The default name for the DCSS is "MONDCSS" if none is specified. In case that +there are other users already connected to the `*MONITOR` service (e.g. +Performance Toolkit), the monitor DCSS is already defined and you have to use +the same DCSS. The CP command Q MONITOR (Class E privileged) shows the name +of the monitor DCSS, if already defined, and the users connected to the +`*MONITOR` service. +Refer to the "z/VM Performance" book (SC24-6109-00) on how to create a monitor +DCSS if your z/VM doesn't have one already, you need Class E privileges to +define and save a DCSS. + +Example: +-------- + +:: + + modprobe monreader mondcss=MYDCSS + +This loads the module and sets the DCSS name to "MYDCSS". + +NOTE: +----- +This API provides no interface to control the `*MONITOR` service, e.g. specify +which data should be collected. This can be done by the CP command MONITOR +(Class E privileged), see "CP Command and Utility Reference". + +Device nodes with udev: +----------------------- +After loading the module, a char device will be created along with the device +node /<udev directory>/monreader. + +Device nodes without udev: +-------------------------- +If your distribution does not support udev, a device node will not be created +automatically and you have to create it manually after loading the module. +Therefore you need to know the major and minor numbers of the device. These +numbers can be found in /sys/class/misc/monreader/dev. + +Typing cat /sys/class/misc/monreader/dev will give an output of the form +<major>:<minor>. The device node can be created via the mknod command, enter +mknod <name> c <major> <minor>, where <name> is the name of the device node +to be created. + +Example: +-------- + +:: + + # modprobe monreader + # cat /sys/class/misc/monreader/dev + 10:63 + # mknod /dev/monreader c 10 63 + +This loads the module with the default monitor DCSS (MONDCSS) and creates a +device node. + +File operations: +---------------- +The following file operations are supported: open, release, read, poll. +There are two alternative methods for reading: either non-blocking read in +conjunction with polling, or blocking read without polling. IOCTLs are not +supported. + +Read: +----- +Reading from the device provides a 12 Byte monitor control element (MCE), +followed by a set of one or more contiguous monitor records (similar to the +output of the CMS utility MONWRITE without the 4K control blocks). The MCE +contains information on the type of the following record set (sample/event +data), the monitor domains contained within it and the start and end address +of the record set in the monitor DCSS. The start and end address can be used +to determine the size of the record set, the end address is the address of the +last byte of data. The start address is needed to handle "end-of-frame" records +correctly (domain 1, record 13), i.e. it can be used to determine the record +start offset relative to a 4K page (frame) boundary. + +See "Appendix A: `*MONITOR`" in the "z/VM Performance" document for a description +of the monitor control element layout. The layout of the monitor records can +be found here (z/VM 5.1): https://www.vm.ibm.com/pubs/mon510/index.html + +The layout of the data stream provided by the monreader device is as follows:: + + ... + <0 byte read> + <first MCE> \ + <first set of records> | + ... |- data set + <last MCE> | + <last set of records> / + <0 byte read> + ... + +There may be more than one combination of MCE and corresponding record set +within one data set and the end of each data set is indicated by a successful +read with a return value of 0 (0 byte read). +Any received data must be considered invalid until a complete set was +read successfully, including the closing 0 byte read. Therefore you should +always read the complete set into a buffer before processing the data. + +The maximum size of a data set can be as large as the size of the +monitor DCSS, so design the buffer adequately or use dynamic memory allocation. +The size of the monitor DCSS will be printed into syslog after loading the +module. You can also use the (Class E privileged) CP command Q NSS MAP to +list all available segments and information about them. + +As with most char devices, error conditions are indicated by returning a +negative value for the number of bytes read. In this case, the errno variable +indicates the error condition: + +EIO: + reply failed, read data is invalid and the application + should discard the data read since the last successful read with 0 size. +EFAULT: + copy_to_user failed, read data is invalid and the application should + discard the data read since the last successful read with 0 size. +EAGAIN: + occurs on a non-blocking read if there is no data available at the + moment. There is no data missing or corrupted, just try again or rather + use polling for non-blocking reads. +EOVERFLOW: + message limit reached, the data read since the last successful + read with 0 size is valid but subsequent records may be missing. + +In the last case (EOVERFLOW) there may be missing data, in the first two cases +(EIO, EFAULT) there will be missing data. It's up to the application if it will +continue reading subsequent data or rather exit. + +Open: +----- +Only one user is allowed to open the char device. If it is already in use, the +open function will fail (return a negative value) and set errno to EBUSY. +The open function may also fail if an IUCV connection to the `*MONITOR` service +cannot be established. In this case errno will be set to EIO and an error +message with an IPUSER SEVER code will be printed into syslog. The IPUSER SEVER +codes are described in the "z/VM Performance" book, Appendix A. + +NOTE: +----- +As soon as the device is opened, incoming messages will be accepted and they +will account for the message limit, i.e. opening the device without reading +from it will provoke the "message limit reached" error (EOVERFLOW error code) +eventually. diff --git a/Documentation/s390/pci.rst b/Documentation/s390/pci.rst new file mode 100644 index 000000000..492850bff --- /dev/null +++ b/Documentation/s390/pci.rst @@ -0,0 +1,125 @@ +..

For each debug log exists a number of debug areas +where exactly one is active at one time. Each debug area consists of contiguous +pages in memory. In the debug areas there are stored debug entries (log records) +which are written by event- and exception-calls. + +An event-call writes the specified debug entry to the active debug +area and updates the log pointer for the active area. If the end +of the active debug area is reached, a wrap around is done (ring buffer) +and the next debug entry will be written at the beginning of the active +debug area. + +An exception-call writes the specified debug entry to the log and +switches to the next debug area. This is done in order to be sure +that the records which describe the origin of the exception are not +overwritten when a wrap around for the current area occurs. + +The debug areas themselves are also ordered in form of a ring buffer. +When an exception is thrown in the last debug area, the following debug +entries are then written again in the very first area. + +There are four versions for the event- and exception-calls: One for +logging raw data, one for text, one for numbers (unsigned int and long), +and one for sprintf-like formatted strings. + +Each debug entry contains the following data: + +- Timestamp +- Cpu-Number of calling task +- Level of debug entry (0...6) +- Return Address to caller +- Flag, if entry is an exception or not + +The debug logs can be inspected in a live system through entries in +the debugfs-filesystem. Under the toplevel directory "``s390dbf``" there is +a directory for each registered component, which is named like the +corresponding component. The debugfs normally should be mounted to +``/sys/kernel/debug`` therefore the debug feature can be accessed under +``/sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf``. + +The content of the directories are files which represent different views +to the debug log. Each component can decide which views should be +used through registering them with the function :c:func:`debug_register_view()`. +Predefined views for hex/ascii and sprintf data are provided. +It is also possible to define other views. The content of +a view can be inspected simply by reading the corresponding debugfs file. + +All debug logs have an actual debug level (range from 0 to 6). +The default level is 3. Event and Exception functions have a :c:data:`level` +parameter. Only debug entries with a level that is lower or equal +than the actual level are written to the log. This means, when +writing events, high priority log entries should have a low level +value whereas low priority entries should have a high one. +The actual debug level can be changed with the help of the debugfs-filesystem +through writing a number string "x" to the ``level`` debugfs file which is +provided for every debug log. Debugging can be switched off completely +by using "-" on the ``level`` debugfs file. + +Example:: + + > echo "-" > /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/dasd/level + +It is also possible to deactivate the debug feature globally for every +debug log. You can change the behavior using 2 sysctl parameters in +``/proc/sys/s390dbf``: + +There are currently 2 possible triggers, which stop the debug feature +globally. The first possibility is to use the ``debug_active`` sysctl. If +set to 1 the debug feature is running. If ``debug_active`` is set to 0 the +debug feature is turned off. + +The second trigger which stops the debug feature is a kernel oops. +That prevents the debug feature from overwriting debug information that +happened before the oops. After an oops you can reactivate the debug feature +by piping 1 to ``/proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active``. Nevertheless, it's not +suggested to use an oopsed kernel in a production environment. + +If you want to disallow the deactivation of the debug feature, you can use +the ``debug_stoppable`` sysctl. If you set ``debug_stoppable`` to 0 the debug +feature cannot be stopped.

Stop debug feature:: + + > echo 0 > /proc/sys/s390dbf/debug_active + +crash Interface +---------------- +The ``crash`` tool since v5.1.0 has a built-in command +``s390dbf`` to display all the debug logs or export them to the file system. +With this tool it is possible +to investigate the debug logs on a live system and with a memory dump after +a system crash. + +Investigating raw memory +------------------------ +One last possibility to investigate the debug logs at a live +system and after a system crash is to look at the raw memory +under VM or at the Service Element. +It is possible to find the anchor of the debug-logs through +the ``debug_area_first`` symbol in the System map. Then one has +to follow the correct pointers of the data-structures defined +in debug.h and find the debug-areas in memory. +Normally modules which use the debug feature will also have +a global variable with the pointer to the debug-logs. Following +this pointer it will also be possible to find the debug logs in +memory. + +For this method it is recommended to use '16 * x + 4' byte (x = 0..n) +for the length of the data field in :c:func:`debug_register()` in +order to see the debug entries well formatted. + + +Predefined Views +---------------- + +There are two predefined views: hex_ascii and sprintf. +The hex_ascii view shows the data field in hex and ascii representation +(e.g. ``45 43 4b 44 | ECKD``). + +The sprintf view formats the debug entries in the same way as the sprintf +function would do. The sprintf event/exception functions write to the +debug entry a pointer to the format string (size = sizeof(long)) +and for each vararg a long value. So e.g. for a debug entry with a format +string plus two varargs one would need to allocate a (3 * sizeof(long)) +byte data area in the debug_register() function. + +IMPORTANT: + Using "%s" in sprintf event functions is dangerous. You can only + use "%s" in the sprintf event functions, if the memory for the passed string + is available as long as the debug feature exists.

The motivation for vfio-ap +is to make AP cards available to KVM guests using the VFIO mediated device +framework. This implementation relies considerably on the s390 virtualization +facilities which do most of the hard work of providing direct access to AP +devices. + +AP Architectural Overview +========================= +To facilitate the comprehension of the design, let's start with some +definitions: + +* AP adapter + + An AP adapter is an IBM Z adapter card that can perform cryptographic + functions. There can be from 0 to 256 adapters assigned to an LPAR. Adapters + assigned to the LPAR in which a linux host is running will be available to + the linux host. Each adapter is identified by a number from 0 to 255; however, + the maximum adapter number is determined by machine model and/or adapter type. + When installed, an AP adapter is accessed by AP instructions executed by any + CPU. + + The AP adapter cards are assigned to a given LPAR via the system's Activation + Profile which can be edited via the HMC. When the linux host system is IPL'd + in the LPAR, the AP bus detects the AP adapter cards assigned to the LPAR and + creates a sysfs device for each assigned adapter. For example, if AP adapters + 4 and 10 (0x0a) are assigned to the LPAR, the AP bus will create the following + sysfs device entries:: + + /sys/devices/ap/card04 + /sys/devices/ap/card0a + + Symbolic links to these devices will also be created in the AP bus devices + sub-directory:: + + /sys/bus/ap/devices/[card04] + /sys/bus/ap/devices/[card04] + +* AP domain + + An adapter is partitioned into domains. An adapter can hold up to 256 domains + depending upon the adapter type and hardware configuration. A domain is + identified by a number from 0 to 255; however, the maximum domain number is + determined by machine model and/or adapter type.. A domain can be thought of + as a set of hardware registers and memory used for processing AP commands. A + domain can be configured with a secure private key used for clear key + encryption. A domain is classified in one of two ways depending upon how it + may be accessed: + + * Usage domains are domains that are targeted by an AP instruction to + process an AP command. + + * Control domains are domains that are changed by an AP command sent to a + usage domain; for example, to set the secure private key for the control + domain. + + The AP usage and control domains are assigned to a given LPAR via the system's + Activation Profile which can be edited via the HMC. When a linux host system + is IPL'd in the LPAR, the AP bus module detects the AP usage and control + domains assigned to the LPAR. The domain number of each usage domain and + adapter number of each AP adapter are combined to create AP queue devices + (see AP Queue section below). The domain number of each control domain will be + represented in a bitmask and stored in a sysfs file + /sys/bus/ap/ap_control_domain_mask. The bits in the mask, from most to least + significant bit, correspond to domains 0-255. + +* AP Queue + + An AP queue is the means by which an AP command is sent to a usage domain + inside a specific adapter. An AP queue is identified by a tuple + comprised of an AP adapter ID (APID) and an AP queue index (APQI). The + APQI corresponds to a given usage domain number within the adapter. This tuple + forms an AP Queue Number (APQN) uniquely identifying an AP queue. AP + instructions include a field containing the APQN to identify the AP queue to + which the AP command is to be sent for processing. + + The AP bus will create a sysfs device for each APQN that can be derived from + the cross product of the AP adapter and usage domain numbers detected when the + AP bus module is loaded. For example, if adapters 4 and 10 (0x0a) and usage + domains 6 and 71 (0x47) are assigned to the LPAR, the AP bus will create the + following sysfs entries:: + + /sys/devices/ap/card04/04.0006 + /sys/devices/ap/card04/04.0047 + /sys/devices/ap/card0a/0a.0006 + /sys/devices/ap/card0a/0a.0047 + + The following symbolic links to these devices will be created in the AP bus + devices subdirectory:: + + /sys/bus/ap/devices/[04.0006] + /sys/bus/ap/devices/[04.0047] + /sys/bus/ap/devices/[0a.0006] + /sys/bus/ap/devices/[0a.0047] + +* AP Instructions: + + There are three AP instructions: + + * NQAP: to enqueue an AP command-request message to a queue + * DQAP: to dequeue an AP command-reply message from a queue + * PQAP: to administer the queues + + AP instructions identify the domain that is targeted to process the AP + command; this must be one of the usage domains. An AP command may modify a + domain that is not one of the usage domains, but the modified domain + must be one of the control domains. + +AP and SIE +========== +Let's now take a look at how AP instructions executed on a guest are interpreted +by the hardware. + +A satellite control block called the Crypto Control Block (CRYCB) is attached to +our main hardware virtualization control block. The CRYCB contains three fields +to identify the adapters, usage domains and control domains assigned to the KVM +guest: + +* The AP Mask (APM) field is a bit mask that identifies the AP adapters assigned + to the KVM guest. Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e. from most + significant to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to + an APID from 0-255. If a bit is set, the corresponding adapter is valid for + use by the KVM guest. + +* The AP Queue Mask (AQM) field is a bit mask identifying the AP usage domains + assigned to the KVM guest. Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e. from + most significant to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to + an AP queue index (APQI) from 0-255. If a bit is set, the corresponding queue + is valid for use by the KVM guest. + +* The AP Domain Mask field is a bit mask that identifies the AP control domains + assigned to the KVM guest. The ADM bit mask controls which domains can be + changed by an AP command-request message sent to a usage domain from the + guest. Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e. from most significant to + least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to a domain from + 0-255. If a bit is set, the corresponding domain can be modified by an AP + command-request message sent to a usage domain. + +If you recall from the description of an AP Queue, AP instructions include +an APQN to identify the AP queue to which an AP command-request message is to be +sent (NQAP and PQAP instructions), or from which a command-reply message is to +be received (DQAP instruction). The validity of an APQN is defined by the matrix +calculated from the APM and AQM; it is the cross product of all assigned adapter +numbers (APM) with all assigned queue indexes (AQM). For example, if adapters 1 +and 2 and usage domains 5 and 6 are assigned to a guest, the APQNs (1,5), (1,6), +(2,5) and (2,6) will be valid for the guest. + +The APQNs can provide secure key functionality - i.e., a private key is stored +on the adapter card for each of its domains - so each APQN must be assigned to +at most one guest or to the linux host:: + + Example 1: Valid configuration: + ------------------------------ + Guest1: adapters 1,2 domains 5,6 + Guest2: adapter 1,2 domain 7 + + This is valid because both guests have a unique set of APQNs: + Guest1 has APQNs (1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6); + Guest2 has APQNs (1,7), (2,7) + + Example 2: Valid configuration: + ------------------------------ + Guest1: adapters 1,2 domains 5,6 + Guest2: adapters 3,4 domains 5,6 + + This is also valid because both guests have a unique set of APQNs: + Guest1 has APQNs (1,5), (1,6), (2,5), (2,6); + Guest2 has APQNs (3,5), (3,6), (4,5), (4,6) + + Example 3: Invalid configuration: + -------------------------------- + Guest1: adapters 1,2 domains 5,6 + Guest2: adapter 1 domains 6,7 + + This is an invalid configuration because both guests have access to + APQN (1,6). + +The Design +========== +The design introduces three new objects: + +1.

The administrator loads the vfio_ap device driver +2. The vfio-ap driver during its initialization will register a single 'matrix' + device with the device core. This will serve as the parent device for + all mediated matrix devices used to configure an AP matrix for a guest. +3. The /sys/devices/vfio_ap/matrix device is created by the device core +4. The vfio_ap device driver will register with the AP bus for AP queue devices + of type 10 and higher (CEX4 and newer). The driver will provide the vfio_ap + driver's probe and remove callback interfaces. Devices older than CEX4 queues + are not supported to simplify the implementation by not needlessly + complicating the design by supporting older devices that will go out of + service in the relatively near future, and for which there are few older + systems around on which to test. +5. The AP bus registers the vfio_ap device driver with the device core +6. The administrator edits the AP adapter and queue masks to reserve AP queues + for use by the vfio_ap device driver. +7. The AP bus removes the AP queues reserved for the vfio_ap driver from the + default zcrypt cex4queue driver. +8. The AP bus probes the vfio_ap device driver to bind the queues reserved for + it. +9.

When a device is registered with the VFIO mediated device + framework, the sysfs attribute files identified in the 'mdev_attr_groups' + structure will be created in the mediated matrix device's directory. The + sysfs attributes for a mediated matrix device are: + + assign_adapter / unassign_adapter: + Write-only attributes for assigning/unassigning an AP adapter to/from the + mediated matrix device. To assign/unassign an adapter, the APID of the + adapter is echoed to the respective attribute file. + assign_domain / unassign_domain: + Write-only attributes for assigning/unassigning an AP usage domain to/from + the mediated matrix device. To assign/unassign a domain, the domain + number of the usage domain is echoed to the respective attribute + file. + matrix: + A read-only file for displaying the APQNs derived from the cross product + of the adapter and domain numbers assigned to the mediated matrix device. + assign_control_domain / unassign_control_domain: + Write-only attributes for assigning/unassigning an AP control domain + to/from the mediated matrix device.

The open is invoked when QEMU connects the VFIO iommu group + for the mdev matrix device to the MDEV bus. Access to the KVM structure used + to configure the KVM guest is provided via this callback. The KVM structure, + is used to configure the guest's access to the AP matrix defined via the + mediated matrix device's sysfs attribute files. + release: + unregisters the VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notifier callback function for the + mdev matrix device and deconfigures the guest's AP matrix. + +Configure the APM, AQM and ADM in the CRYCB +------------------------------------------- +Configuring the AP matrix for a KVM guest will be performed when the +VFIO_GROUP_NOTIFY_SET_KVM notifier callback is invoked. The notifier +function is called when QEMU connects to KVM. The guest's AP matrix is +configured via it's CRYCB by: + +* Setting the bits in the APM corresponding to the APIDs assigned to the + mediated matrix device via its 'assign_adapter' interface. +* Setting the bits in the AQM corresponding to the domains assigned to the + mediated matrix device via its 'assign_domain' interface. +* Setting the bits in the ADM corresponding to the domain dIDs assigned to the + mediated matrix device via its 'assign_control_domains' interface. + +The CPU model features for AP +----------------------------- +The AP stack relies on the presence of the AP instructions as well as two +facilities: The AP Facilities Test (APFT) facility; and the AP Query +Configuration Information (QCI) facility. These features/facilities are made +available to a KVM guest via the following CPU model features: + +1. ap: Indicates whether the AP instructions are installed on the guest. This + feature will be enabled by KVM only if the AP instructions are installed + on the host. + +2. apft: Indicates the APFT facility is available on the guest. This facility + can be made available to the guest only if it is available on the host (i.e., + facility bit 15 is set). + +3. apqci: Indicates the AP QCI facility is available on the guest. This facility + can be made available to the guest only if it is available on the host (i.e., + facility bit 12 is set). + +Note: If the user chooses to specify a CPU model different than the 'host' +model to QEMU, the CPU model features and facilities need to be turned on +explicitly; for example:: + + /usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x ... -cpu z13,ap=on,apqci=on,apft=on + +A guest can be precluded from using AP features/facilities by turning them off +explicitly; for example:: + + /usr/bin/qemu-system-s390x ... -cpu host,ap=off,apqci=off,apft=off + +Note: If the APFT facility is turned off (apft=off) for the guest, the guest +will not see any AP devices. The zcrypt device drivers that register for type 10 +and newer AP devices - i.e., the cex4card and cex4queue device drivers - need +the APFT facility to ascertain the facilities installed on a given AP device. If +the APFT facility is not installed on the guest, then the probe of device +drivers will fail since only type 10 and newer devices can be configured for +guest use. + +Example +======= +Let's now provide an example to illustrate how KVM guests may be given +access to AP facilities. For this example, we will show how to configure +three guests such that executing the lszcrypt command on the guests would +look like this: + +Guest1 +------ +=========== ===== ============ +CARD.DOMAIN TYPE MODE +=========== ===== ============ +05 CEX5C CCA-Coproc +05.0004 CEX5C CCA-Coproc +05.00ab CEX5C CCA-Coproc +06 CEX5A Accelerator +06.0004 CEX5A Accelerator +06.00ab CEX5C CCA-Coproc +=========== ===== ============ + +Guest2 +------ +=========== ===== ============ +CARD.DOMAIN TYPE MODE +=========== ===== ============ +05 CEX5A Accelerator +05.0047 CEX5A Accelerator +05.00ff CEX5A Accelerator +=========== ===== ============ + +Guest3 +------ +=========== ===== ============ +CARD.DOMAIN TYPE MODE +=========== ===== ============ +06 CEX5A Accelerator +06.0047 CEX5A Accelerator +06.00ff CEX5A Accelerator +=========== ===== ============ + +These are the steps: + +1.

Secure the AP queues to be used by the three guests so that the host can not + access them. To secure them, there are two sysfs files that specify + bitmasks marking a subset of the APQN range as 'usable by the default AP + queue device drivers' or 'not usable by the default device drivers' and thus + available for use by the vfio_ap device driver'. The location of the sysfs + files containing the masks are:: + + /sys/bus/ap/apmask + /sys/bus/ap/aqmask + + The 'apmask' is a 256-bit mask that identifies a set of AP adapter IDs + (APID). Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e., from most significant + to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to an APID from + 0-255. If a bit is set, the APID is marked as usable only by the default AP + queue device drivers; otherwise, the APID is usable by the vfio_ap + device driver. + + The 'aqmask' is a 256-bit mask that identifies a set of AP queue indexes + (APQI). Each bit in the mask, from left to right (i.e., from most significant + to least significant bit in big endian order), corresponds to an APQI from + 0-255. If a bit is set, the APQI is marked as usable only by the default AP + queue device drivers; otherwise, the APQI is usable by the vfio_ap device + driver. + + Take, for example, the following mask:: + + 0x7dffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffffff + + It indicates: + + 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, and 7-255 belong to the default drivers' pool, and 0 and 6 + belong to the vfio_ap device driver's pool. + + The APQN of each AP queue device assigned to the linux host is checked by the + AP bus against the set of APQNs derived from the cross product of APIDs + and APQIs marked as usable only by the default AP queue device drivers.

Motivation for vfio-ccw is to passthrough subchannels to a +virtual machine, while vfio is the means. + +Different than other hardware architectures, s390 has defined a unified +I/O access method, which is so called Channel I/O. It has its own access +patterns: + +- Channel programs run asynchronously on a separate (co)processor. +- The channel subsystem will access any memory designated by the caller + in the channel program directly, i.e. there is no iommu involved. + +Thus when we introduce vfio support for these devices, we realize it +with a mediated device (mdev) implementation. The vfio mdev will be +added to an iommu group, so as to make itself able to be managed by the +vfio framework. And we add read/write callbacks for special vfio I/O +regions to pass the channel programs from the mdev to its parent device +(the real I/O subchannel device) to do further address translation and +to perform I/O instructions. + +This document does not intend to explain the s390 I/O architecture in +every detail. More information/reference could be found here: + +- A good start to know Channel I/O in general: + https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Channel_I/O +- s390 architecture: + s390 Principles of Operation manual (IBM Form. No. SA22-7832) +- The existing QEMU code which implements a simple emulated channel + subsystem could also be a good reference. It makes it easier to follow + the flow. + qemu/hw/s390x/css.c + +For vfio mediated device framework: +- Documentation/driver-api/vfio-mediated-device.rst + +Motivation of vfio-ccw +---------------------- + +Typically, a guest virtualized via QEMU/KVM on s390 only sees +paravirtualized virtio devices via the "Virtio Over Channel I/O +(virtio-ccw)" transport. This makes virtio devices discoverable via +standard operating system algorithms for handling channel devices. + +However this is not enough. On s390 for the majority of devices, which +use the standard Channel I/O based mechanism, we also need to provide +the functionality of passing through them to a QEMU virtual machine. +This includes devices that don't have a virtio counterpart (e.g. tape +drives) or that have specific characteristics which guests want to +exploit. + +For passing a device to a guest, we want to use the same interface as +everybody else, namely vfio. We implement this vfio support for channel +devices via the vfio mediated device framework and the subchannel device +driver "vfio_ccw". + +Access patterns of CCW devices +------------------------------ + +s390 architecture has implemented a so called channel subsystem, that +provides a unified view of the devices physically attached to the +systems. Though the s390 hardware platform knows about a huge variety of +different peripheral attachments like disk devices (aka. DASDs), tapes, +communication controllers, etc. They can all be accessed by a well +defined access method and they are presenting I/O completion a unified +way: I/O interruptions. + +All I/O requires the use of channel command words (CCWs). A CCW is an +instruction to a specialized I/O channel processor. A channel program is +a sequence of CCWs which are executed by the I/O channel subsystem. To +issue a channel program to the channel subsystem, it is required to +build an operation request block (ORB), which can be used to point out +the format of the CCW and other control information to the system. The +operating system signals the I/O channel subsystem to begin executing +the channel program with a SSCH (start sub-channel) instruction. The +central processor is then free to proceed with non-I/O instructions +until interrupted. The I/O completion result is received by the +interrupt handler in the form of interrupt response block (IRB). + +Back to vfio-ccw, in short: + +- ORBs and channel programs are built in guest kernel (with guest + physical addresses). +- ORBs and channel programs are passed to the host kernel. +- Host kernel translates the guest physical addresses to real addresses + and starts the I/O with issuing a privileged Channel I/O instruction + (e.g SSCH). +- channel programs run asynchronously on a separate processor. +- I/O completion will be signaled to the host with I/O interruptions. + And it will be copied as IRB to user space to pass it back to the + guest. + +Physical vfio ccw device and its child mdev +------------------------------------------- + +As mentioned above, we realize vfio-ccw with a mdev implementation. + +Channel I/O does not have IOMMU hardware support, so the physical +vfio-ccw device does not have an IOMMU level translation or isolation. + +Subchannel I/O instructions are all privileged instructions. When +handling the I/O instruction interception, vfio-ccw has the software +policing and translation how the channel program is programmed before +it gets sent to hardware. + +Within this implementation, we have two drivers for two types of +devices: + +- The vfio_ccw driver for the physical subchannel device. + This is an I/O subchannel driver for the real subchannel device. It + realizes a group of callbacks and registers to the mdev framework as a + parent (physical) device. As a consequence, mdev provides vfio_ccw a + generic interface (sysfs) to create mdev devices. A vfio mdev could be + created by vfio_ccw then and added to the mediated bus. It is the vfio + device that added to an IOMMU group and a vfio group. + vfio_ccw also provides an I/O region to accept channel program + request from user space and store I/O interrupt result for user + space to retrieve. To notify user space an I/O completion, it offers + an interface to setup an eventfd fd for asynchronous signaling. + +- The vfio_mdev driver for the mediated vfio ccw device. + This is provided by the mdev framework. It is a vfio device driver for + the mdev that created by vfio_ccw. + It realizes a group of vfio device driver callbacks, adds itself to a + vfio group, and registers itself to the mdev framework as a mdev + driver. + It uses a vfio iommu backend that uses the existing map and unmap + ioctls, but rather than programming them into an IOMMU for a device, + it simply stores the translations for use by later requests. This + means that a device programmed in a VM with guest physical addresses + can have the vfio kernel convert that address to process virtual + address, pin the page and program the hardware with the host physical + address in one step. + For a mdev, the vfio iommu backend will not pin the pages during the + VFIO_IOMMU_MAP_DMA ioctl. Mdev framework will only maintain a database + of the iova<->vaddr mappings in this operation. And they export a + vfio_pin_pages and a vfio_unpin_pages interfaces from the vfio iommu + backend for the physical devices to pin and unpin pages by demand. + +Below is a high Level block diagram:: + + +-------------+ + | | + | +---------+ | mdev_register_driver() +--------------+ + | | Mdev | +<-----------------------+ | + | | bus | | | vfio_mdev.ko | + | | driver | +----------------------->+ |<-> VFIO user + | +---------+ | probe()/remove() +--------------+ APIs + | | + | MDEV CORE | + | MODULE | + | mdev.ko | + | +---------+ | mdev_register_device() +--------------+ + | |Physical | +<-----------------------+ | + | | device | | | vfio_ccw.ko |<-> subchannel + | |interface| +----------------------->+ | device + | +---------+ | callback +--------------+ + +-------------+ + +The process of how these work together. + +1. vfio_ccw.ko drives the physical I/O subchannel, and registers the + physical device (with callbacks) to mdev framework. + When vfio_ccw probing the subchannel device, it registers device + pointer and callbacks to the mdev framework. Mdev related file nodes + under the device node in sysfs would be created for the subchannel + device, namely 'mdev_create', 'mdev_destroy' and + 'mdev_supported_types'. +2. Create a mediated vfio ccw device. + Use the 'mdev_create' sysfs file, we need to manually create one (and + only one for our case) mediated device. +3. vfio_mdev.ko drives the mediated ccw device. + vfio_mdev is also the vfio device drvier. It will probe the mdev and + add it to an iommu_group and a vfio_group. Then we could pass through + the mdev to a guest. + + +VFIO-CCW Regions +---------------- + +The vfio-ccw driver exposes MMIO regions to accept requests from and return +results to userspace. + +vfio-ccw I/O region +------------------- + +An I/O region is used to accept channel program request from user +space and store I/O interrupt result for user space to retrieve. The +definition of the region is:: + + struct ccw_io_region { + #define ORB_AREA_SIZE 12 + __u8 orb_area[ORB_AREA_SIZE]; + #define SCSW_AREA_SIZE 12 + __u8 scsw_area[SCSW_AREA_SIZE]; + #define IRB_AREA_SIZE 96 + __u8 irb_area[IRB_AREA_SIZE]; + __u32 ret_code; + } __packed; + +This region is always available. + +While starting an I/O request, orb_area should be filled with the +guest ORB, and scsw_area should be filled with the SCSW of the Virtual +Subchannel. + +irb_area stores the I/O result. + +ret_code stores a return code for each access of the region. The following +values may occur: + +``0`` + The operation was successful. + +``-EOPNOTSUPP`` + The orb specified transport mode or an unidentified IDAW format, or the + scsw specified a function other than the start function. + +``-EIO`` + A request was issued while the device was not in a state ready to accept + requests, or an internal error occurred. + +``-EBUSY`` + The subchannel was status pending or busy, or a request is already active. + +``-EAGAIN`` + A request was being processed, and the caller should retry. + +``-EACCES`` + The channel path(s) used for the I/O were found to be not operational. + +``-ENODEV`` + The device was found to be not operational. + +``-EINVAL`` + The orb specified a chain longer than 255 ccws, or an internal error + occurred. + + +vfio-ccw cmd region +------------------- + +The vfio-ccw cmd region is used to accept asynchronous instructions +from userspace:: + + #define VFIO_CCW_ASYNC_CMD_HSCH (1 << 0) + #define VFIO_CCW_ASYNC_CMD_CSCH (1 << 1) + struct ccw_cmd_region { + __u32 command; + __u32 ret_code; + } __packed; + +This region is exposed via region type VFIO_REGION_SUBTYPE_CCW_ASYNC_CMD. + +Currently, CLEAR SUBCHANNEL and HALT SUBCHANNEL use this region. + +command specifies the command to be issued; ret_code stores a return code +for each access of the region. The following values may occur: + +``0`` + The operation was successful. + +``-ENODEV`` + The device was found to be not operational. + +``-EINVAL`` + A command other than halt or clear was specified. + +``-EIO`` + A request was issued while the device was not in a state ready to accept + requests. + +``-EAGAIN`` + A request was being processed, and the caller should retry. + +``-EBUSY`` + The subchannel was status pending or busy while processing a halt request. + +vfio-ccw schib region +--------------------- + +The vfio-ccw schib region is used to return Subchannel-Information +Block (SCHIB) data to userspace:: + + struct ccw_schib_region { + #define SCHIB_AREA_SIZE 52 + __u8 schib_area[SCHIB_AREA_SIZE]; + } __packed; + +This region is exposed via region type VFIO_REGION_SUBTYPE_CCW_SCHIB. + +Reading this region triggers a STORE SUBCHANNEL to be issued to the +associated hardware. + +vfio-ccw crw region +--------------------- + +The vfio-ccw crw region is used to return Channel Report Word (CRW) +data to userspace:: + + struct ccw_crw_region { + __u32 crw; + __u32 pad; + } __packed; + +This region is exposed via region type VFIO_REGION_SUBTYPE_CCW_CRW. + +Reading this region returns a CRW if one that is relevant for this +subchannel (e.g. one reporting changes in channel path state) is +pending, or all zeroes if not. If multiple CRWs are pending (including +possibly chained CRWs), reading this region again will return the next +one, until no more CRWs are pending and zeroes are returned. This is +similar to how STORE CHANNEL REPORT WORD works. + +vfio-ccw operation details +-------------------------- + +vfio-ccw follows what vfio-pci did on the s390 platform and uses +vfio-iommu-type1 as the vfio iommu backend. + +* CCW translation APIs + A group of APIs (start with `cp_`) to do CCW translation. The CCWs + passed in by a user space program are organized with their guest + physical memory addresses. These APIs will copy the CCWs into kernel + space, and assemble a runnable kernel channel program by updating the + guest physical addresses with their corresponding host physical addresses. + Note that we have to use IDALs even for direct-access CCWs, as the + referenced memory can be located anywhere, including above 2G. + +* vfio_ccw device driver + This driver utilizes the CCW translation APIs and introduces + vfio_ccw, which is the driver for the I/O subchannel devices you want + to pass through. + vfio_ccw implements the following vfio ioctls:: + + VFIO_DEVICE_GET_INFO + VFIO_DEVICE_GET_IRQ_INFO + VFIO_DEVICE_GET_REGION_INFO + VFIO_DEVICE_RESET + VFIO_DEVICE_SET_IRQS + + This provides an I/O region, so that the user space program can pass a + channel program to the kernel, to do further CCW translation before + issuing them to a real device. + This also provides the SET_IRQ ioctl to setup an event notifier to + notify the user space program the I/O completion in an asynchronous + way. + +The use of vfio-ccw is not limited to QEMU, while QEMU is definitely a +good example to get understand how these patches work. Here is a little +bit more detail how an I/O request triggered by the QEMU guest will be +handled (without error handling). + +Explanation: + +- Q1-Q7: QEMU side process. +- K1-K5: Kernel side process. + +Q1. + Get I/O region info during initialization. + +Q2. + Setup event notifier and handler to handle I/O completion. + +... ... + +Q3. + Intercept a ssch instruction. +Q4. + Write the guest channel program and ORB to the I/O region. + + K1. + Copy from guest to kernel. + K2. + Translate the guest channel program to a host kernel space + channel program, which becomes runnable for a real device. + K3. + With the necessary information contained in the orb passed in + by QEMU, issue the ccwchain to the device. + K4. + Return the ssch CC code. +Q5. + Return the CC code to the guest. + +... ... + + K5. + Interrupt handler gets the I/O result and write the result to + the I/O region. + K6. + Signal QEMU to retrieve the result. + +Q6. + Get the signal and event handler reads out the result from the I/O + region. +Q7. + Update the irb for the guest. + +Limitations +----------- + +The current vfio-ccw implementation focuses on supporting basic commands +needed to implement block device functionality (read/write) of DASD/ECKD +device only. Some commands may need special handling in the future, for +example, anything related to path grouping. + +DASD is a kind of storage device. While ECKD is a data recording format. +More information for DASD and ECKD could be found here: +https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Direct-access_storage_device +https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Count_key_data + +Together with the corresponding work in QEMU, we can bring the passed +through DASD/ECKD device online in a guest now and use it as a block +device. + +The current code allows the guest to start channel programs via +START SUBCHANNEL, and to issue HALT SUBCHANNEL, CLEAR SUBCHANNEL, +and STORE SUBCHANNEL. + +Currently all channel programs are prefetched, regardless of the +p-bit setting in the ORB. As a result, self modifying channel +programs are not supported. For this reason, IPL has to be handled as +a special case by a userspace/guest program; this has been implemented +in QEMU's s390-ccw bios as of QEMU 4.1. + +vfio-ccw supports classic (command mode) channel I/O only. Transport +mode (HPF) is not supported. + +QDIO subchannels are currently not supported. Classic devices other than +DASD/ECKD might work, but have not been tested. + +Reference +--------- +1.

Currently 32 MB are saved. + +This zfcpdump implementation consists of a Linux dump kernel together with +a user space dump tool, which are loaded together into the saved memory region +below 32 MB. zfcpdump is installed on a SCSI disk using zipl (as contained in +the s390-tools package) to make the device bootable. The operator of a Linux +system can then trigger a SCSI dump by booting the SCSI disk, where zfcpdump +resides on. + +The user space dump tool accesses the memory of the crashed system by means +of the /proc/vmcore interface. This interface exports the crashed system's +memory and registers in ELF core dump format. To access the memory which has +been saved by the hardware SCLP requests will be created at the time the data +is needed by /proc/vmcore. The tail part of the crashed systems memory which +has not been stashed by hardware can just be copied from real memory. + +To build a dump enabled kernel the kernel config option CONFIG_CRASH_DUMP +has to be set. + +To get a valid zfcpdump kernel configuration use "make zfcpdump_defconfig". + +The s390 zipl tool looks for the zfcpdump kernel and optional initrd/initramfs +under the following locations: + +* kernel: <zfcpdump directory>/zfcpdump.image +* ramdisk: <zfcpdump directory>/zfcpdump.rd + +The zfcpdump directory is defined in the s390-tools package. + +The user space application of zfcpdump can reside in an intitramfs or an +initrd. It can also be included in a built-in kernel initramfs. The application +reads from /proc/vmcore or zcore/mem and writes the system dump to a SCSI disk. + +The s390-tools package version 1.24.0 and above builds an external zfcpdump +initramfs with a user space application that writes the dump to a SCSI +partition. + +For more information on how to use zfcpdump refer to the s390 'Using the Dump +Tools' book, which is available from IBM Knowledge Center: +https://www.ibm.com/support/knowledgecenter/linuxonibm/liaaf/lnz_r_dt.html |
