+QAPI interface for S390 CPU topology
+====================================
+
+Let's start QEMU with the following command:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+ qemu-system-s390x \
+    -enable-kvm \
+    -cpu z14,ctop=on \
+    -smp 1,drawers=3,books=3,sockets=2,cores=2,maxcpus=36 \
+    \
+    -device z14-s390x-cpu,core-id=19,polarization=3 \
+    -device z14-s390x-cpu,core-id=11,polarization=1 \
+    -device z14-s390x-cpu,core-id=112,polarization=3 \
+   ...
+
+and see the result when using the QAPI interface.
+
+Addons to query-cpus-fast
+-------------------------
+
+The command query-cpus-fast allows to query the topology tree and
+modifiers for all configured vCPUs.
+
+.. code-block:: QMP
+
+ { "execute": "query-cpus-fast" }
+ {
+  "return": [
+    {

+      "target": "s390x"
+    }
+  ]
+ }
+
+
+QAPI command: set-cpu-topology
+------------------------------
+
+The command set-cpu-topology allows to modify the topology tree
+or the topology modifiers of a vCPU in the configuration.
+
+.. code-block:: QMP
+
+    { "execute": "set-cpu-topology",
+      "arguments": {
+         "core-id": 11,
+         "socket-id": 0,
+         "book-id": 0,
+         "drawer-id": 0,
+         "entitlement": "low",
+         "dedicated": false
+      }
+    }
+    {"return": {}}
+
+The core-id parameter is the only non optional parameter and every
+unspecified parameter keeps its previous value.
+
+QAPI event CPU_POLARIZATION_CHANGE
+----------------------------------
+
+When a guest is requests a modification of the polarization,
+QEMU sends a CPU_POLARIZATION_CHANGE event.
+
+When requesting the change, the guest only specifies horizontal or
+vertical polarization.
+It is the job of the upper layer to set the dedication and fine grained
+vertical entitlement in response to this event.
+
+Note that a vertical polarized dedicated vCPU can only have a high
+entitlement, this gives 6 possibilities for vCPU polarization:
+
+- Horizontal
+- Horizontal dedicated
+- Vertical low
+- Vertical medium
+- Vertical high
+- Vertical high dedicated
+
+Example of the event received when the guest issues the CPU instruction
+Perform Topology Function PTF(0) to request an horizontal polarization:
+
+.. code-block:: QMP
+
+    { "event": "CPU_POLARIZATION_CHANGE",
+      "data": { "polarization": 0 },
+      "timestamp": { "seconds": 1401385907, "microseconds": 422329 } }
+
+QAPI query command: query-cpu-polarization
+------------------------------
+
+The query command query-cpu-polarization returns the current
+CPU polarization of the machine.
+
+.. code-block:: QMP
+
+    { "execute": "query-cpu-polarization" }
+    {
+        "return": {
+          "polarization": "vertical"
+        }
+    }

+CPU topology on s390x
+=====================
+
+Since QEMU 8.1, CPU topology on s390x provides up to 3 levels of
+topology containers: drawers, books, sockets, defining a tree shaped
+hierarchy.
+
+The socket container contains one or more CPU entries.
+Each of these CPU entries consists of a bitmap and three CPU attributes:
+
+- CPU type
+- polarization entitlement
+- dedication
+
+Each bit set in the bitmap correspond to the core-id of a vCPU with
+matching the three attribute.
+
+This documentation provide general information on S390 CPU topology,
+how to enable it and on the new CPU attributes.
+For information on how to modify the S390 CPU topology and on how to
+monitor the polarization change see ``Developer Information``.
+
+Prerequisites
+-------------
+
+To use the CPU topology, you need to run with KVM on a s390x host that
+uses the Linux kernel v6.0 or newer (which provide the so-called
+``KVM_CAP_S390_CPU_TOPOLOGY`` capability that allows QEMU to signal the
+CPU topology facility via the so-called STFLE bit 11 to the VM).
+
+Enabling CPU topology
+---------------------
+
+Currently, CPU topology is only enabled in the host model by default.
+
+Enabling CPU topology in a CPU model is done by setting the CPU flag
+``ctop`` to ``on`` like in:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+   -cpu gen16b,ctop=on
+
+Having the topology disabled by default allows migration between
+old and new QEMU without adding new flags.
+
+Default topology usage
+----------------------
+
+The CPU topology can be specified on the QEMU command line
+with the ``-smp`` or the ``-device`` QEMU command arguments.
+
+Note also that since 7.2 threads are no longer supported in the topology
+and the ``-smp`` command line argument accepts only ``threads=1``.
+
+If none of the containers attributes (drawers, books, sockets) are
+specified for the ``-smp`` flag, the number of these containers
+is ``1`` .
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    -smp cpus=5,drawer=1,books=1,sockets=8,cores=4,maxcpus=32
+
+or
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    -smp cpus=5,sockets=8,cores=4,maxcpus=32
+
+When a CPU is defined by the ``-smp`` command argument, its position
+inside the topology is calculated by adding the CPUs to the topology
+based on the core-id starting with core-0 at position 0 of socket-0,
+book-0, drawer-0 and filling all CPUs of socket-0 before to fill socket-1
+of book-0 and so on up to the last socket of the last book of the last
+drawer.
+
+When a CPU is defined by the ``-device`` command argument, the
+tree topology attributes must be all defined or all not defined.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    -device gen16b-s390x-cpu,drawer-id=1,book-id=1,socket-id=2,core-id=1
+
+or
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    -device gen16b-s390x-cpu,core-id=1,dedication=true
+
+If none of the tree attributes (drawer, book, sockets), are specified
+for the ``-device`` argument, as for all CPUs defined with the ``-smp``
+command argument the topology tree attributes will be set by simply
+adding the CPUs to the topology based on the core-id starting with
+core-0 at position 0 of socket-0, book-0, drawer-0.
+
+QEMU will not try to solve collisions and will report an error if the
+CPU topology, explicitly or implicitly defined on a ``-device``
+argument collides with the definition of a CPU implicitely defined
+on the ``-smp`` argument.
+
+When the topology modifier attributes are not defined for the
+``-device`` command argument they takes following default values:
+
+- dedication: ``false``
+- entitlement: ``medium``
+
+
+Hot plug
+++++++++
+
+New CPUs can be plugged using the device_add hmp command as in:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  (qemu) device_add gen16b-s390x-cpu,core-id=9
+
+The same placement of the CPU is derived from the core-id as described above.
+
+The topology can of course be fully defined:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+    (qemu) device_add gen16b-s390x-cpu,drawer-id=1,book-id=1,socket-id=2,core-id=1
+
+
+Examples
+++++++++
+
+In the following machine we define 8 sockets with 4 cores each.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ qemu-system-s390x -m 2G \
+    -cpu gen16b,ctop=on \
+    -smp cpus=5,sockets=8,cores=4,maxcpus=32 \
+    -device host-s390x-cpu,core-id=14 \
+
+A new CPUs can be plugged using the device_add hmp command as before:
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  (qemu) device_add gen16b-s390x-cpu,core-id=9
+
+The core-id defines the placement of the core in the topology by
+starting with core 0 in socket 0 up to maxcpus.
+
+In the example above:
+
+* There are 5 CPUs provided to the guest with the ``-smp`` command line
+  They will take the core-ids 0,1,2,3,4
+  As we have 4 cores in a socket, we have 4 CPUs provided
+  to the guest in socket 0, with core-ids 0,1,2,3.
+  The last cpu, with core-id 4, will be on socket 1.
+
+* the core with ID 14 provided by the ``-device`` command line will
+  be placed in socket 3, with core-id 14
+
+* the core with ID 9 provided by the ``device_add`` qmp command will
+  be placed in socket 2, with core-id 9
+
+
+Polarization, entitlement and dedication
+----------------------------------------
+
+Polarization
+++++++++++++
+
+The polarization is an indication given by the ``guest`` to the host
+that it is able to make use of CPU provisioning information.
+The guest indicates the polarization by using the PTF instruction.
+
+Polarization is define two models of CPU provisioning: horizontal
+and vertical.
+
+The horizontal polarization is the default model on boot and after
+subsystem reset in which the guest considers all vCPUs being having
+an equal provisioning of CPUs by the host.
+
+In the vertical polarization model the guest can make use of the
+vCPU entitlement information provided by the host to optimize
+kernel thread scheduling.
+
+A subsystem reset puts all vCPU of the configuration into the
+horizontal polarization.
+
+Entitlement
++++++++++++
+
+The vertical polarization specifies that the guest's vCPU can get
+different real CPU provisions:
+
+- a vCPU with vertical high entitlement specifies that this
+  vCPU gets 100% of the real CPU provisioning.
+
+- a vCPU with vertical medium entitlement specifies that this
+  vCPU shares the real CPU with other vCPUs.
+
+- a vCPU with vertical low entitlement specifies that this
+  vCPU only gets real CPU provisioning when no other vCPUs needs it.
+
+In the case a vCPU with vertical high entitlement does not use
+the real CPU, the unused "slack" can be dispatched to other vCPU
+with medium or low entitlement.
+
+The upper level specifies a vCPU as ``dedicated`` when the vCPU is
+fully dedicated to a single real CPU.
+
+The dedicated bit is an indication of affinity of a vCPU for a real CPU
+while the entitlement indicates the sharing or exclusivity of use.
+
+Defining the topology on command line
+-------------------------------------
+
+The topology can entirely be defined using -device cpu statements,
+with the exception of CPU 0 which must be defined with the -smp
+argument.
+
+For example, here we set the position of the cores 1,2,3 to
+drawer 1, book 1, socket 2 and cores 0,9 and 14 to drawer 0,
+book 0, socket 0 with all horizontal polarization and not dedicated.
+The core 4, will be set on its default position on socket 1
+(since we have 4 core per socket) and we define it with dedication and
+vertical high entitlement.
+
+.. code-block:: bash
+
+  $ qemu-system-s390x -m 2G \
+    -cpu gen16b,ctop=on \
+    -smp cpus=1,sockets=8,cores=4,maxcpus=32 \
+    \
+    -device gen16b-s390x-cpu,drawer-id=1,book-id=1,socket-id=2,core-id=1 \
+    -device gen16b-s390x-cpu,drawer-id=1,book-id=1,socket-id=2,core-id=2 \
+    -device gen16b-s390x-cpu,drawer-id=1,book-id=1,socket-id=2,core-id=3 \
+    \
+    -device gen16b-s390x-cpu,drawer-id=0,book-id=0,socket-id=0,core-id=9 \
+    -device gen16b-s390x-cpu,drawer-id=0,book-id=0,socket-id=0,core-id=14 \
+    \
+    -device gen16b-s390x-cpu,core-id=4,dedicated=on,polarization=3 \
