[19.10 FEAT] Extract crypto measurement data

[bugproxy]

[Impact]

 * A new utility in s390-tools allows to access new measurements of the optional hardware components Express Crypto adapters. It is SRUed as part of hardware enabled exeption. Without this utility, it' hard to tell if crypto cards are operating as expected.

[Test Case]

 * Check that zcryptstats is now available
 * Check that zcryptstats can run against compatible crypto cards

[Regression Potential]

 * It's a new utility / component, thus cannot by definition regress. It's inert unless invoked by the user.

[Other Info]

 * Original bugreport:

Add a new tool 'zcryptstats' to the s390-tools package to to obtain and display measurement data from crypto adapters for capacity planning.

This is a new tool with no dependencies.

It should also be added to Bionic s390tools-2.3.0

[Frank Heimes (fheimes)]

Since we entered the 19.04 beta freeze, we probably need to wait until release before we can proceed on this ...

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

"It should also be added to Bionic s390tools-2.3.0" but can you explain in further details as to why? what's the justification there and motivation to write this new utility, and make it available on Bionic? given that it is new, will people even discover it?

@Xnox: This new tool is described here https://github.com/ibm-s390-tools/s390-tools/commit/8be43a1f16923da037d5f5bffca73c433ca1231b...
It will be leveraged by the SSC appliances, getting better information regarding the crypto card performance and capacity planning.
And 18.04 is here the base. Does that answer your question?

This tool will be part of the next tools release...

[Dimitri John Ledkov (xnox)]

There is inflight s390-tools SRU for bionic already.
The SRU after that one, will be uploaded with this change.

Just tried the updated s390-tools package on bionic in version s390-tools 2.3.0-0ubuntu3.5 and it incl. zcryptstats. zcryptstats can be called (in case hw crypto resources are in place), the output looks reasonable and the man page is there, too - hence successfully verified.
Updating the tag accordingly.
