Subject: [PATCH v6 21/21] KVM: s390: vsie: Enable use of VSIE SSCA
Date: Thu, 27 Aug 2026 17:53:01 +0200	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260827-vsie-sigpi-v6-21-8020bb53be52@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260827-vsie-sigpi-v6-0-8020bb53be52@linux.ibm.com>

Finally enable code paths actually configuring and using VSIE SIGPI and
SRSI. SIGP can be globally disabled in the KVM module configuration but
will be enabled by default if the machine (IBM z17 onwards) supports it.

This feature improves guest-3 performance by allowing the hardware to
handle SIGP EXTERNAL_CALL and SENSE_RUNNING_STATUS instructions without
exiting VSIE.

Module parameter: ssca (default: true on supported hardware)
