Subject: [PULL 10/23] s390x: Expose pv attribute in QOM
Date: Wed, 30 Sep 2026 11:24:07 -0400 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260930152420.1956230-11-farman@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260930152420.1956230-1-farman@linux.ibm.com>
From: Janosch Frank <frankja@linux.ibm.com>
People doing VM management requested a way to query if a VM is in PV
or not. So this patch exposes the runtime PV attribute which is true
once the VM successfully made the switch into PV mode (according to
KVM) and did not yet reboot to drop out of it.
This of course does never replace attestation, it's merely QEMU's view
of the situation.

+PV property
+-----------
+
+The s390x-ccw machine exposes the read-only runtime "pv"
+property. This property is true if a guest successfully made the
+transition into PV mode as reported by KVM and hasn't yet exited PV
+mode via a reboot. This does not replace PV attestation which is the
+only authoritative way to get a definitive answer if a guest is truly
+protected.
