8.25 KVM_CAP_S390_DIAG318
-------------------------
:Architectures: s390
This capability enables a guest to set information about its control program
(i.e. guest kernel type and version). The information is helpful during
system/firmware service events, providing additional data about the guest
environments running on the machine.
The information is associated with the DIAGNOSE 0x318 instruction, which sets
an 8-byte value consisting of a one-byte Control Program Name Code (CPNC) and
a 7-byte Control Program Version Code (CPVC). The CPNC determines what
environment the control program is running in (e.g. Linux, z/VM...), and the
CPVC is used for information specific to OS (e.g. Linux version, Linux
distribution...)
If this capability is available, then the CPNC and CPVC can be synchronized
between KVM and userspace via the sync regs mechanism (KVM_SYNC_DIAG318).
