.TH S390_STHYI 2 2017-09-21 "Linux Programmer's Manual"
|
||
|
.SH NAME
|
||
|
s390_sthyi \- emulate STHYI instruction
|
||
|
.SH SYNOPSIS
|
||
|
.nf
|
||
|
.B #include <asm/unistd.h>
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
.BI "int s390_sthyi(unsigned long " function_code ", void *" buffer ",
|
||
|
.BI " uint64_t *" return_code ", unsigned long " flags ");
|
||
|
.fi
|
||
|
.SH DESCRIPTION
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.BR s390_sthyi ()
|
||
|
system call emulates the STHYI (Store Hypervisor Information) instruction.
|
||
|
It provides hardware resource information for the machine and its virtualization
|
||
|
levels. This includes CPU type and capacity, as well as the machine model and
|
||
|
other metrics.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.I function_code
|
||
|
argument indicates which function to perform.
|
||
|
The following code(s) are supported:
|
||
|
.RB ( 0 )
|
||
|
Return CP (Central Processor) and IFL (Integrated Facility for Linux)
|
||
|
capacity information.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.I buffer
|
||
|
argument specifies the address of response buffer. If the system
|
||
|
call returns 0, the response buffer will be filled with CPU capacity
|
||
|
information. Otherwise, the response buffer's content is unchanged.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.I return_code
|
||
|
argument stores the return code of the STHYI instruction, success
|
||
|
.RB ( 0 )
|
||
|
or unsupported function code
|
||
|
.RB ( 4 ).
|
||
|
For details about return code, function_code, and buffer argument,
|
||
|
please see section
|
||
|
.IR "CONFORMING TO"
|
||
|
below.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
The
|
||
|
.I flags
|
||
|
argument is provided to allow for future extensions and currently
|
||
|
must be set to "0".
|
||
|
.SH RETURN VALUE
|
||
|
On success, the return value of
|
||
|
.BR s390_sthyi ()
|
||
|
matches the condition code of the STHYI instructions, which is a value
|
||
|
between 0-3 (that is: emulation succeeded).
|
||
|
Return value of 0 indicates that CPU capacity information is stored to
|
||
|
.I buffer.
|
||
|
Return value of 3 indicates "unsupported function code" and buffer's
|
||
|
content is unchanged.
|
||
|
Return value of 1 and 2 are reserved.
|
||
|
.PP
|
||
|
On error, -1 is returned, and
|
||
|
.IR errno
|
||
|
is set appropriately.
|
||
|
.SH ERRORS
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B EINVAL
|
||
|
The value specified in
|
||
|
.I flags
|
||
|
is non-zero.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B EOPNOTSUPP
|
||
|
The value specified in
|
||
|
.I function_code
|
||
|
is not a valid value.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B EFAULT
|
||
|
The value specified in
|
||
|
.I buffer
|
||
|
or
|
||
|
.I return_code
|
||
|
is not a valid address.
|
||
|
.TP
|
||
|
.B ENOMEM
|
||
|
Allocating memory for handling the CPU capacity information failed.
|
||
|
.SH VERSIONS
|
||
|
This system call is available since Linux 4.15.
|
||
|
.SH CONFORMING TO
|
||
|
This Linux-specific system call is available only on the s390 architecture.
|
||
|

|
||
|
.SH NOTES
|
||
|
Glibc does not provide a wrapper for this system call, use
|
||
|
.BR syscall (2)
|
||
|
to call it.
