Now that the kernel series [1] is merged and the freeze is over, here is a
refresh of the zPCI interpretation series.
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 zpcii-disable machine property is added to allow disabling use of
zPCI interpretation facilities for a guest. This property is set to on
for older (pre-7.2 compat machines), but defaults to off for 7.2 and
newer. This allows newer machines to use interpretation by default if
the necessary kernel interfaces and hardware facilities are available,
but also provides a mechanism for disabling interpretation completely
for debug purposes.
As a consequence of implementing zPCI interpretation, ISM devices now
become eligible for passthrough (but only when zPCI interpretation is
available).
From the perspective of guest configuration, you passthrough zPCI devices
in the same manner as before, with intepretation support being used by
default if available in kernel+qemu.
Changelog v7->v8:
- Rebase onto 7.1.0
- Move compat machine changes for patch 8
- Refresh kernel header sync to 6.0-rc3

Matthew Rosato (8):
linux-headers: update to 6.0-rc3
s390x/pci: add routine to get host function handle from CLP info
s390x/pci: enable for load/store intepretation
Typo in that subject, should be "interpretation" instead of "intepretation".
s390x/pci: don't fence interpreted devices without MSI-X
s390x/pci: enable adapter event notification for interpreted devices
s390x/pci: let intercept devices have separate PCI groups
s390x/pci: reflect proper maxstbl for groups of interpreted devices
s390x/s390-virtio-ccw: add zpcii-disable machine property
Thanks, patch series looks basically fine to me now. Some nits here and
there, so if you could still fix those up and send a v9, that would be
great! (If you are completely out of spare time for that, let me know, then
I can also try to fix those up on my own when picking up the patches)
