[18.04 FEAT] Enhanced CPU-MF hardware counters - s390tools part

[bugproxy]

[Impact]

 * Add more counters to support more hw, i.e. z14 counters.

[Test Case]

 * Test that lscpumf / chcpumf still work
 * Check that additional counters are now available on compatible hw

[Regression Potential]

 * It is a cherrypick from upstream which is already shipped in eoan. All existing counters remain (renamed source file), and csvn-6 counters are added. Otherwise the functionality of using the counters remain the same, thus this is almost dataset change only to match new hardware.

[Other Info]

 * Original bug report.

Enhance the CPU-MF hardware counters for improved HW support .

Addl s390-tools 2.10.0 commit required in addition to the kernel part.

If it should be added to s390-tools bionic, it needs to be added to disco, too - to avoid any regressions during dist-upgrades.
Thanks for sharing the commit ID 'cpumf: Add support for CPU-Measurement Facility counters SVN 6'.

This feature is already integrated into Eoan, now, only bionic is missing...
Many thanks in advance

Hello bugproxy, or anyone else affected,

Accepted s390-tools into disco-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/s390-tools/2.8.0-0ubuntu5.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-disco to verification-done-disco. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

Further information regarding the verification process can be found at https://wiki.ubuntu.com/QATeam/PerformingSRUVerification . Thank you in advance for helping!

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

After setting up a test disco LPAR with counters enabled in the activation profile I did a verification of the package - more a regression testing, since I only have access to z13 machine.
Anyway, I was able to use and run lscpumf, chcpumf and perf (using the old and then of course the new package from proposed) - I executed some samples and they all looked good, no issues, error or regressions found.
Hence adjusting disco tag ...

I've up a test LPAR for bionic with counters and sampling facilities enabled (in the activation profile) and did a verification of the cpumf tools included in the s390-tools package version 2.3.0-0ubuntu3.5 - it's more a regression testing, since I only have access to z13 machine.
Anyway, on the z13 machine I was able to successfully use and run lscpumf, chcpumf and perf - I executed some samples and they all looked good, no issues, error or regressions found.
Hence adjusting bionic tag ...
