@@ -38,3 +38,48 @@ Allows userspace to query the actual limit and set a new limit for
the maximum guest memory size. The limit will be rounded up to
2048 MB, 4096 GB, 8192 TB respectively, as this limit is governed by
the number of page table levels.

+2. GROUP: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MODEL
+Architectures: s390
+
+2.1. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE (r/o)
+
+Allows user space to retrieve machine and kvm specific cpu related information:
+
+struct kvm_s390_vm_cpu_machine {
+ __u64 cpuid; # CPUID of host
+ __u32 ibc; # IBC level range offered by host
+ __u8 pad[4];
+ __u64 fac_mask[256]; # set of cpu facilities enabled by KVM
+ __u64 fac_list[256]; # set of cpu facilities offered by host
+}
+
+Parameters: address of buffer to store the machine related cpu data
+ of type struct kvm_s390_vm_cpu_machine*
+Returns: -EFAULT if the given address is not accessible from kernel space
+ -ENOMEM if not enough memory is available to process the ioctl
+ 0 in case of success
+
+2.2. ATTRIBUTE: KVM_S390_VM_CPU_PROCESSOR (r/w)
+
+Allows user space to retrieve or request to change cpu related information for a vcpu:
+
+struct kvm_s390_vm_cpu_processor {
+ __u64 cpuid; # CPUID currently (to be) used by this vcpu
+ __u16 ibc; # IBC level currently (to be) used by this vcpu
+ __u8 pad[6];
+ __u64 fac_list[256]; # set of cpu facilities currently (to be) used
+ # by this vcpu
+}
+
+KVM does not enforce or limit the cpu model data in any form. Take the information
+retrieved by means of KVM_S390_VM_CPU_MACHINE as hint for reasonable configuration
+setups. Instruction interceptions triggered by additionally set facilitiy bits that
+are not handled by KVM need to by imlemented in the VM driver code.
+
+Parameters: address of buffer to store/set the processor related cpu
+ data of type struct kvm_s390_vm_cpu_processor*.
+Returns: -EBUSY in case 1 or more vcpus are already activated (only in write case)
+ -EFAULT if the given address is not accessible from kernel space
+ -ENOMEM if not enough memory is available to process the ioctl
+ 0 in case of success
