Title:
  Ubuntu18.04 - KVM on S390 -  Multiple epoch facility bugs

Status in Ubuntu on IBM z Systems:
  Triaged
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The bionic 4.15 kernel contains KVM/s390 support for the multiple epoch 
facility.
  This code has some bugs which can result in hanging guests when running the 
guest on a  z14 with a recent guest kernel (containing 
6e2ef5e4f6cc57344762932d70d38ba4ec65fa8b    s390/time: add support for the TOD 
clock epoch extension)

  The following upstream commits are necessary to fix the multi epoch facility
  0e7def5fb0dc KVM: s390: provide only a single function for setting the tod 
(fix SCK)
  1575767ef3cf KVM: s390: consider epoch index on TOD clock syncs
  d16b52cb9cdb KVM: s390: consider epoch index on hotplugged CPUs
  5fe01793dd95 KVM: s390: take care of clock-comparator sign control

  As an alternative 4.15.8 also contains these fixes.

  
  ---uname output---
  4.15
   
  ---Additional Hardware Info---
  Z14 LPAR 

   
  Machine Type = IBM z14 
   
  ---System Hang---
  A simple test case to trigger the hang of guests:

  qemu-system-s390x  -drive file=/data/bionic-server-
  s390x.iso,if=none,id=d1 -nographic -enable-kvm -device virtio-scsi-ccw
  -device scsi-cd,drive=d1 -m 1G   -cpu z14,mepoch=on

  it hangs
  just before printing the network dialog.
