Subject: [S390] Use diag260 for memory size detection.
Date: Mon, 4 Dec 2006 15:55:11 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20061204145511.GW32059@skybase> (raw)
From: Heiko Carstens <heiko.carstens@de.ibm.com>
[S390] Use diag260 for memory size detection.
Avoid the tprot loop if diag260 works and reports that there are no
holes in memory. The tprot instruction can lead to a significant delay
in the ipl process if the virtual guest has a lot of memory and the
host is under memory pressure.
