Given this handler may be called for any PQAP instruction sub-function,
I think the function doc should be more generic, providing:

* A general description of what the function does
* A description of each input parameter
* A description of the value returned. If the return value is a return
 code, the possible rc values can be enumerated with a description for
 of the reason each particular value may be returned.

Sorry, I do not understand what you want here.
Isn't it exactly what is done?

And don't you exactly say the opposite when you say that the description should be done by the embedded comments?

Simplify to:

/* The only supported PQAP function is AQIC (0x03) */

OK, but then istn't obvious from reading the code ?


+ÂÂÂ reg0 = vcpu->run->s.regs.gprs[0];
+ÂÂÂ fc = reg0 >> 24;
+ÂÂÂ if (fc != 0x03) {
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ pr_warn("%s: Unexpected interception code 0x%02x\n",
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ __func__, fc);
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ return -EOPNOTSUPP;
+ÂÂÂ }
+ÂÂÂ /* All PQAP instructions are allowed for guest kernel only */

There is only one PQAP instruction with multiple sub-functions.
/* PQAP instruction is allowed for guest kernel only */
ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ or
/* PQAP instruction is privileged */

OK


+ÂÂÂ if (vcpu->arch.sie_block->gpsw.mask & PSW_MASK_PSTATE)
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ return kvm_s390_inject_program_int(vcpu, PGM_PRIVILEGED_OP);
+ÂÂÂ /*
+ÂÂÂÂ * Common tests for PQAP instructions to generate a specification
+ÂÂÂÂ * exception
+ÂÂÂÂ */

This comment is unnecessary as the individual comments below adequately
do the job.

OK


+ÂÂÂ /* Zero bits overwrite produce a specification exception */

This comment has no meaning unless you intimately know the architecture.
The following would make more sense:

ÂÂÂÂ/* Bits 41-47 must all be zeros */

It's probably not a big deal, but since we don't support PQAP(TAPQ),
would it make more sense to make sure bits 40-47 are zeros (i.e.,
the 't' bit is not set)?

I am not sure about this one as APFT is installed in our case.
Or do you want that we test if it is installed and test the bit 40?

We should discuss this offline because I do not find any evidence that we should really do this in the documentation.


+ÂÂÂ if (reg0 & 0x007f0000UL)
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ goto specification_except;
+ÂÂÂ /* If APXA is not installed APQN is limited */

Wouldn't it be better to state how the APQN is limited?
For example:

ÂÂÂÂ/*
ÂÂÂÂ * If APXA is not installed, then the maximum APID is
ÂÂÂÂ * 63 (bits 48-49 of reg0 must be zero) and the maximum
ÂÂÂÂ * APQI is 15 (bits 56-59 must be zero)
ÂÂÂÂ */
OK

+ÂÂÂ if (!(vcpu->kvm->arch.crypto.crycbd & 0x02))
+ÂÂÂÂÂÂÂ if (reg0 & 0x000030f0UL)

If APXA is not installed, then bits 48-49 and 56-59 must all be
zeros. Shouldn't this mask be 0x0000c0f0UL?

You can better count than I do ;)
I will change this to c0f0.

...snip...



+ÂÂÂ status.response_code = 0x01;
+ÂÂÂ memcpy(&vcpu->run->s.regs.gprs[1], &status, sizeof(status));

hum,
I miss a
kvm_s390_set_psw_cc(vcpu, 3);
here
and certainly wherever fault in the status response code are set.

Will be corrected in the next iteration.


Thanks for the comments,

Pierre
