This patch series introduces two features for an s390 KVM quest:
- Extended-Length SCCB (els) for the Read SCP/CPU Info SCLP
commands
- DIAGNOSE 0x318 (diag318) enabling / migration handling
The diag318 feature depends on els and KVM support.
The els feature is handled entirely with QEMU, and does not require
KVM support.
These patches are introduced together for two main reasons:
- els allows diag318 to exist while retaining the original 248
VCPU max
- diag318 is presented to show how els is useful
Full els support is dependant on the Linux kernel, which must react
to the SCLP response code and set an appropriate-length SCCB.
A user should take care when tuning the CPU model for a VM.
If a user defines a VM with els support and specifies 248 CPUs, but
the guest Linux kernel cannot react to the SCLP response code, then
the guest will crash immediately upon kernel startup.
Since it has been some time since the last review and a few things
have changed, I've removed all ack's and set this submission to v1.
