[Qemu-devel] [PATCH] s390x/tcg: specification exception for unknown diag
Posted by Cornelia Huck 6 years, 8 months ago
While the PoP is silent on the issue, z/VM documentation states
that unknown diagnose codes trigger a specification exception.
We already do that when running with kvm, so change tcg to do so
as well.

I just tried on a z/VM guest what happens if I call diag with an
unsupported code, and the Linux kernel then crashes with a specification
exception, indeed. So this sounds like the right thing to do!

May I suggest to order the patches the other way round? ... that's less
code churn that way.

For reference, here's the relevant hunk in z/VM documentation:

Let me detangle my branches...
