[PATCH v1 0/2] KVM: s390: vsie: simulate VCPU SIE entry/exit
While discussing AP changes, we discovered that we will have to force a CPU using the vSIE to regenerate/reload shadow data structures. For now, we have no mechanism for that. E.g. when clearing AP masks later, we could still have a vSIE CPU making use of AP adapters as the masks might not be considered yet in the vSIE data structures. We need a way to block entering the vSIE and regenerate all shadow data structures once done. Looks like we can achieve that by simply simulating an ordinary SIE entry/exit in the VCPU sie control block (when executing sie64 in context of the vSIE). This way, we can support blocking and also synchronous CPU requests. Only compile tested. RFC -> v1: - Move entry/exit simulation right to the sie64 code to minimize latency - Added R-b's, dropped Tested-by.
