APAR Error Description / Circumvention

-------------------------------------------------
During a partition IPL, the system hangs at SRCC6004052 which is
during Trace initialization.

CORRECTION FOR APAR 'MA47313' :
-------------------------------
In the trace system control block there is a list of LIC trace
definition tables and their control segments. One control
segment was either corrupt or had been destroyed but not removed
from the table list. During the IPL, the LIC Trace code tries to
verify the list of trace tables and cleanup any bad trace
definition tables by removing the segment pointer from the trace
system control block. The trace code tries to get a exclusive
gate lock on the trace system control block, but the control
block already has a shared lock. The trace code tries to wait
for the exclusive lock but the shared lock is never released.
The LIC code doesn't have a method to convert the shared lock
into an exclusive lock.

The LIC Trace code was changed to remove the shared lock before
calling the delete code.
The LIC Trace code is then able to get the exclusive lock on the
trace system control block and complete the clean up.

CIRCUMVENTION FOR APAR 'MA47313' :
----------------------------------
None.
