This patch introduces in-kernel handling of _some_ sigp interprocessor signals (similar to ipi). kvm_s390_handle_sigp() decodes the sigp instruction and calls individual handlers depending on the operation requested: - sigp sense tries to retrieve information such as existence or running state of the remote cpu - sigp emergency sends an external interrupt to the remove cpu - sigp stop stops a remove cpu - sigp stop store status stops a remote cpu, and stores its entire internal state to the cpus lowcore - sigp set arch sets the architecture mode of the remote cpu. setting to ESAME (s390x 64bit) is accepted, setting to ESA/S390 (s390, 31 or 24 bit) is denied, all others are passed to userland - sigp set prefix sets the prefix register of a remote cpu For implementation of this, the stop intercept indication starts to get reused on purpose: a set of action bits defines what to do once a cpu gets stopped: ACTION_STOP_ON_STOP really stops the cpu when a stop intercept is recognized ACTION_STORE_ON_STOP stores the cpu status to lowcore when a stop intercept is recognized Acked-by: Martin Schwidefsky <schwidefsky@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Christian Borntraeger <borntraeger@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Carsten Otte <cotte@de.ibm.com> Signed-off-by: Avi Kivity <avi@qumranet.com>
