Sometimes (e.g. early boot) a guest is broken in such ways that it loops 100% delivering operation exceptions (illegal operation) but the pgm new PSW is not set properly. This will result in code being read from address zero, which usually contains another illegal op. Let's detect this case and return to userspace. Instead of only detecting this for address zero apply a heuristic that will work for any program check new psw. We do not want guest problem state to be able to trigger a guest panic, e.g. by faulting on an address that is the same as the program check new PSW, so we check for the problem state bit being off. With proper handling in userspace we a: get rid of CPU consumption of such broken guests b: keep the program old PSW. This allows to find out the original illegal operation - making debugging such early boot issues much easier than with single stepping Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Reviewed-by: Cornelia Huck <cornelia.huck@de.ibm.com> |

Linux kernel ============ This file was moved to Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst Please notice that there are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or ``make pdfdocs``. There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory, several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation. See Documentation/00-INDEX for a list of what is contained in each file. Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
