STSI(15.1.x) gives information on the CPU configuration topology.
Let's accept the interception of STSI with the function code 15 and
let the userland part of the hypervisor handle it when userland
support the CPU Topology facility.

Sorry, I'm a bit rusty on s390x kvm facility handling.
For test_kvm_facility() to succeed, the facility has to be in both:
a) fac_mask: actually available on the HW and supported by KVM
(kvm_s390_fac_base via FACILITIES_KVM, kvm_s390_fac_ext via
FACILITIES_KVM_CPUMODEL)
b) fac_list: enabled for a VM
AFAIU, facility 11 is neither in FACILITIES_KVM nor
FACILITIES_KVM_CPUMODEL, and I remember it's a hypervisor-managed bit.
So unless we unlock facility 11 in FACILITIES_KVM_CPUMODEL, will
test_kvm_facility(vcpu->kvm, 11) ever successfully trigger here?
I'm pretty sure I am messing something up :)
I think it is the same remark that Christian did as wanted me to use the
arch/s390/tools/gen_facilities.c to activate the facility.
The point is that CONFIGURATION_TOPOLOGY, STFL, 11, is already defined
inside QEMU since full_GEN10_GA1, so the test_kvm_facility() will
succeed with the next patch setting the facility 11 in the mask when
getting the KVM_CAP_S390_CPU_TOPOLOGY from userland.
Ok, I see ...
QEMU knows the facility and as soon as we present it to QEMU, QEMU will
want to automatically enable it in the "host" model.
However, we'd like QEMU to join in and handle some part of it.
So indeed, handling it like KVM_CAP_S390_VECTOR_REGISTERS or
KVM_CAP_S390_RI looks like a reasonable approach.
But if we activate it in KVM via any of the FACILITIES_KVM_xxx in the
gen_facilities.c we will activate it for the guest what ever userland
hypervizor we have, including old QEMU which will generate an exception.
In this circumstances we have the choice between:
- use FACILITY_KVM and handle everything in kernel
- use FACILITY_KVM and use an extra CAPABILITY to handle part in kernel
to avoid guest crash and part in userland
This sounds quite nice to me. Implement minimal kernel support and
indicate the facility via stfl to user space.
In addition, add a new capability that intercepts to user space instead.
... but I can understand that it might not be worth it.
yes, since we need a CAPABILITY anyway I find it makes things more
complicated.
This patch as it stands doesn't make any sense on its own. Either
document how it's supposed to work and why it is currently dead code, or
simply squash into the next patch (preferred IMHO).
Yes, you are right, I will squash it with the next patch.
Thanks,
Pierre
