KVM: s390: introduce module parameter kvm.use_gisa
The boolean module parameter "kvm.use_gisa" controls if newly created guests will use the GISA facility if provided by the host system. The default is yes. # cat /sys/module/kvm/parameters/use_gisa Y The parameter can be changed on the fly. # echo N > /sys/module/kvm/parameters/use_gisa Already running guests are not affected by this change. The kvm s390 debug feature shows if a guest is running with GISA. # grep gisa /sys/kernel/debug/s390dbf/kvm-$pid/sprintf 00 01582725059:843303 3 - 08 00000000e119bc01 gisa 0x00000000c9ac2642 initialized 00 01582725059:903840 3 - 11 000000004391ee22 00[0000000000000000-0000000000000000]: AIV gisa format-1 enabled for cpu 000 ... 00 01582725059:916847 3 - 08 0000000094fff572 gisa 0x00000000c9ac2642 cleared In general, that value should not be changed as the GISA facility enhances interruption delivery performance. A reason to switch the GISA facility off might be a performance comparison run or debugging.
