[PATCH v5 0/9] s390x/pci: zPCI interpretation support

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



For QEMU, the majority of the work in enabling instruction interpretation       
is handled via SHM bit settings (to indicate to firmware whether or not
interpretive execution facilities are to be used) + a new KVM ioctl is
used to setup firmware-interpreted forwarding of Adapter Event
Notifications.                                        
                                                                                
This series also adds a new, optional 'interpret' parameter to zpci which       
can be used to disable interpretation support (interpret=off) as well as        
an 'forwarding_assist' parameter to determine whether or not the firmware       
assist will be used for adapter event delivery (default when
interpretation is in use) or whether the host will be responsible for
delivering all adapter event notifications (forwarding_assist=off).
                                                                                
The ZPCI_INTERP CPU feature is added beginning with the z14 model to            
enable this support.                                                            
                                                                                
As a consequence of implementing zPCI interpretation, ISM devices now           
become eligible for passthrough (but only when zPCI interpretation is           
available).
