getty: Start getty on 3270 terminals available on Linux on System z
Add the first 3270 terminal device that is associated with the Linux preferred console to the list of virtualization consoles. This is required to automatically start a getty if the conmode=3270 kernel parameter is specified for Linux on z/VM instances. Note that a queued upstream patch also enable the 3270 terminal device if it is associated with the Linux preferred console. How To successfully start agetty on a 3270 terminal, a change in the agetty parameter order is required. Previously, agetty would started like this: /sbin/agetty --keep-baud 3270/tty1 115200,38400,9600 TERM The agetty program interprets the "3270/tty1" as baud rate and fails to start with the "bad speed: 3270/tty1" error message. Fixing this in agetty is more complex rather than reordering the command line parameters like this: /sbin/agetty --keep-baud 115200,38400,9600 3270/tty1 TERM According to agetty sources and "agetty --help", agetty accepts the "tty", "baudrate tty", and "tty baudrate" specifications. P.S. The "tty: Set correct tty name in 'active' sysfs attribute" introduces a change to display the terminal device which is associated with the Linux preferred console. This change helps to let systemd handle this particular case only. Without the changes of this commit, no additional 3270 terminal device can be managed by systemd. https://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/gregkh/tty.git/commit/?id=723abd87f6e536f1353c8f64f621520bc29523a3
