Greetings;
I guess you mean it is a privileged instruction in linux/390 because it
isn't in VM. This leads to the strange situation where you need to be a
privileged
linux user to issue general user CP commands.
Thanks for that info.

You need the Neale's cpint package if you want to issue CP QUERY commands.
Diagnose 8 is a privileged instruction and Linux user space programs
can't issue it directly.
The CPU ID is also available via the STIDP instruction, but it too is
privileged.
