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). -- 2.26.2
