+8.24 KVM_CAP_S390_DIAG318
+-------------------------
+
+:Architecture: s390
+
+This capability allows for information regarding the control program that may
+be observed via system/firmware service events. The availability of this
+capability indicates that KVM handling of the register synchronization, reset,
+and VSIE shadowing of the DIAGNOSE 0x318 related information is present.
+
+The information associated with the instruction is 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 extraneous
+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).
