Subject: [PULL 10/18] target/s390x: Extend comment about PV cpu load state
Date: Thu, 24 Sep 2026 17:23:45 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260924152353.36209-11-philmd@oss.qualcomm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260924152353.36209-1-philmd@oss.qualcomm.com>

From: Janosch Frank <frankja@linux.ibm.com>

When implementing PV in KVM we chose to add the cpu load state to the
mp state solely to have a way to keep the UV happy. The UV requires us
to set that state before running the boot cpu since entering that
state sets the initial PSW.

Since entering that state in KVM only sets off the UV call which
causes the initial PSW load and does not set the KVM tracking to
operating, we need a second set mp state to reach operating state.
