  This APAR provides z/VM compatibility and EQDIO exploitation
  support for the IBM z17 and IBM LinuxONE Emperor 5 servers.
  The IBM z17 and IBM LinuxONE Emperor 5 servers make up the
  IBM z17 family of servers D/T9175.
  
  With the applicable PTFs and all required pre-requisite
  service applied z/VM will provide support for the following
  IBM z17 family ( D/T9175 ) server hardware facilities:
  
  Guest enablement to exploit the following facilities:
  
  -Vector-Enhancements Facility 3 - New
   instructions intended to provide performance
   improvements.
  
  -Vector-Packed-Decimal-Enhancement 3 -
   Intended to provide performance improvements
   of COBOL programs when compiled using the
   NUMCHECK option to detect and convert data.
  
  -Workload-Instrumentation - Provides a means of
   classifying and sampling workloads to enhance
   the z/OS pricing model.
  
  -Message-Security-Assist Extensions -
   Enhancements that allow the use of XTS and
   HMAC algorithms and allow for generation of
   XTS and HMAC encryption keys while using
   AES algorithms.
  
  -Perform Lock Operation (PLO) - Provides operations
   for managing locks in storage to replace capabilities
   provided previously by the constrained transactional
   execution (CTX) facility.
  
  -Concurrent-Functions - Provides new instructions
   intended to replace the use of TX for software
   serialization.
  
  Host support for the following new facilities:
  
  -CPU Measurement Facility (CPU-MF)
   enhancements - Provide CPU-MF-specific
   support for IBM z17 family server.
  
  -Data Processing Unit (DPU) Next Generation
   I/O accelerator instrumentation provided
   within the z/VM monitor - Collects FCP, FICON,
   and OSA instrumentation data within the z/VM
   monitor for the IBM z17 family server DPUs.
  
  Real device support - Allows the following to be attached for
  guest exploitation:
  -Enhanced QDIO (OSH) devices.
  -Network Express Hybrid (NETH) devices.
  
  Dynamic I/O and HCD support added for:
  -Enhanced QDIO (OSH) CHPIDs and subchannels
  -CL6 coupling adapter CHPIDs
  -Network Express Hybrid (NETH) PCIe Functions
  
  Guest exploitation support for EQDIO devices -
  Allows guests to directly exploit the OSH
  functionality of the Network Express Adapter.
  Extension of CP VSWITCH logic for Network
  Express Adapter EQDIO support within the z/VM
  VSwitch - Allows customers to configure the
  VSwitch to take advantage of lower latency and
  higher bandwidths provided by networking EQDIO
  devices within their data center. The VSwitch EQDIO
  exploitation includes QDIO-to-EQDIO translation,
  allowing guests that do not support EQDIO to directly
  take advantage of this networking support.
  
  Reduced support for transactional execution (TX) -
  Non-constrained transactions will result in unconditionally
  aborting with condition code 1 (CC1) and no TDB stored.
  
  Power Consumption metrics provided within z/VM monitor -
  enhancements to the z/VM monitor to include entire CPC
  and LPAR specific level power consumption information.
  This information includes power metrics for CPU, I/O, and
  Memory usage. Consumers of z/VM monitor, such as the
  z/VM performance datapump, can be enhanced to
  calculate/approximate guest level apportionment.
  APAR VM66826 provides support for a Performance
  Datapump Power Metric Dashboard.

  Please note the following:
  There are source code recompile requirements specific
  to users of the HCPVINOP MACRO and vendor products that
  use the macro.  Any users of the HCPVINOP MACRO are required
  to recompile their local updates before using this service.
   For users of vendor products, please contact the vendor to
   inquire whether they use the HCPVINOP macro. If so, obtain
   recompiled source from the vendor.
