v2.27.0

For Linux kernel version: 6.3

Changes of existing tools:

• s390-tools cross-compile and non-s390x support:
  • pkg-config is now mandatory for the build process
  • Add PKG_CONFIG Makefile variable to select pkg-config program;
    default pkg-config or $(CROSS_COMPILE)pkg-config if
    CROSS_COMPILE is set
  • Rename Makefile variable ARCH to HOST_ARCH. HOST_ARCH is the
    architecture that will run the produced (executable) objects
  • Add the Makefile variable BUILD_ARCH. BUILD_ARCH is the
    architecture of the build system. For each Makefile variable like
    CC, LINK, CPP, ... there is a suffixed version of it - e.g.
    CC_FOR_BUILD. This is useful for cross compiling, and this naming
    convention is very similar to the Meson convention (see
    https://mesonbuild.com/Reference-tables.html#environment-variables-per-machine).
  • Limit build targets for non-s390x architectures (pvattest)
• dasdfmt: Fall back to full format if space release fails
• dbginfo.sh: Add nstat for network and SNMP stats
• dbginfo.sh: Rework crypto data collection
• hyptop: Show thread util by default
• zipl: Add support for list-directed IPL dump from ECKD DASD

Bug Fixes:

• lszcrypt: Fix argument parsing
• zdev/dracut: Fix out-of-memory (OOM) situations in the kdump crashkernel environment
• ziomon/ziorep_config: Fix for SCSI devices of type disk without block dev
• pvextract-hdr: Fix parsing issues on little-endian systems
