The DIAGNOSE 0x0318 instruction, unique to s390x, is a privileged call that must be intercepted via SIE, handled in userspace, and the information set by the instruction is communicated back to KVM. To test the instruction interception, an ad-hoc handler is defined which simply has a VM execute the instruction and then userspace will extract the necessary info. The handler is defined such that the instruction invocation occurs only once. It is up to the caller to determine how the info returned by this handler should be used. The diag318 info is communicated from userspace to KVM via a sync_regs call. This is tested during a sync_regs test, where the diag318 info is requested via the handler, then the info is stored in the appropriate register in KVM via a sync registers call. If KVM does not support diag318, then the tests will print a message stating that diag318 was skipped, and the asserts will simply test against a value of 0.

Linux kernel
============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
