This patch enables cpu model support in kvm/s390 via the vm attribute
interface.

During KVM initialization, the host properties cpuid, IBC value and the
facility list are stored in the architecture specific cpu model structure.

During vcpu setup, these properties are taken to initialize the related SIE
state. This mechanism allows to adjust the properties from user space and thus
to implement different selectable cpu models.

This patch uses the IBC functionality to block instructions that have not
been implemented at the requested CPU type and GA level compared to the
full host capability.

Userspace has to initialize the cpu model before vcpu creation. A cpu model
change of running vcpus is currently not possible.

Why is this VM global? It usually fits a lot better modeling wise when
CPU types are vcpu properties.

It simplifies the code substantially because it inherently guarantees the vcpus being configured
identical. In addition, there is no S390 hardware implementation containing inhomogeneous
processor types. Thus I consider the properties as machine specific.

I really have a hard time grasping what hard and soft means.

Hard facilities are those that are implemented by the CPU itself, either through processor logic
or be means of firmware micro code. That's the list returned by the STFL/STFLE instruction. In
addition to that, one can imagine that in future some of that features are emulated on KVM side.
These will be placed in the soft facility list and are optionally to request by user space.
I don't see why we would have to differentiate between the two. User space wants features enabled. Whether they are done in hardware or in software doesn't matter.
So all we need is a list of "features the guest sees available" which is the same as "features user space wants the guest to see" which then gets masked through "features the host can do in hardware".
For emulation we can just check on the global feature availability on whether we should emulate them or not. 




Also, if user space wants to make sure that its feature list is actually
workable on the host kernel, it needs to set and get the features again
and then compare that with the ones it set? That's different from x86's
cpuid implementation but probably workable.

User space will probe what facilities are available and match them with the predefined cpu model
set. Only those models which use a partial or full subset of the hard/host facility list are
selectable.


Why?

Please take a look at how x86 does cpuid masking :).
In fact, I'm not 100% convinced that it's a good idea to link cpuid / feature list exposure to the guest and actual feature implementation inside the guest together. On POWER there is a patch set pending that implements these two things separately - admittedly mostly because hardware sucks and we can't change the PVR. 




I also don't quite grasp what the story behind IBC is. Do you actually
block instructions? Where do you match instructions that have to get
blocked with instructions that user space wants to see exposed?


Instruction Blocking Control is a feature that was first introduced with the 2097 (IBM System
z10.) The IBC value is part of the SIE state. Just consider it as a kind of parameter, that
allows only instructions that have been implemented up to a certain cpu type and GA level to
become executed, all other op codes will end in an illegal opcode abort. E.g. take the
"Transactional Memory" instructions, they are implemented since type 2827, GA1
(IBM zEnterprise EC12.). The IBC value has 12 bits 8 for the type and 4 for the GA level.
0x001 means its a z10, GA1. The value 0x021 means it's a 2827 (CMOS generation 12 is 0x02) and
GA1 and so forth. A guest running with IBC value 0x012 (z196 GA2) will not be able to use
TE instructions in contrast to a guest running with IBC value 0x022 given the host supports it.
That sounds very similar to the "compat" cpu property that Alexey is introducing for POWER. Maybe we can model it identically?
