4.125 KVM_S390_PV_COMMAND
-------------------------

:Capability: KVM_CAP_S390_PROTECTED
:Architectures: s390
:Type: vm ioctl
:Parameters: struct kvm_pv_cmd
:Returns: 0 on success, < 0 on error

::

  struct kvm_pv_cmd {
	__u32 cmd;	/* Command to be executed */
	__u16 rc;	/* Ultravisor return code */
	__u16 rrc;	/* Ultravisor return reason code */
	__u64 data;	/* Data or address */
	__u32 flags;    /* flags for future extensions. Must be 0 for now */
	__u32 reserved[3];
  };

cmd values:

KVM_PV_ENABLE
  Allocate memory and register the VM with the Ultravisor, thereby
  donating memory to the Ultravisor that will become inaccessible to
  KVM. All existing CPUs are converted to protected ones. After this
  command has succeeded, any CPU added via hotplug will become
  protected during its creation as well.

KVM_PV_DISABLE

  Deregister the VM from the Ultravisor and reclaim the memory that
  had been donated to the Ultravisor, making it usable by the kernel
  again.  All registered VCPUs are converted back to non-protected
  ones.

KVM_PV_VM_SET_SEC_PARMS
  Pass the image header from VM memory to the Ultravisor in
  preparation of image unpacking and verification.

KVM_PV_VM_UNPACK
  Unpack (protect and decrypt) a page of the encrypted boot image.

KVM_PV_VM_VERIFY
  Verify the integrity of the unpacked image. Only if this succeeds,
  KVM is allowed to start protected VCPUs.

This capability indicates that the KVM_S390_NORMAL_RESET and
KVM_S390_CLEAR_RESET ioctls are available.

8.23 KVM_CAP_S390_PROTECTED

Architecture: s390


This capability indicates that the Ultravisor has been initialized and
KVM can therefore start protected VMs.
This capability governs the KVM_S390_PV_COMMAND ioctl and the
KVM_MP_STATE_LOAD MP_STATE. KVM_SET_MP_STATE can fail for protected
guests when the state change is invalid.
