摘要:
Management of storage used by pageable guests of a computing environment is facilitated. A query instruction is provided that details information regarding the storage location indicated in the query. It specifies whether the storage location, if protected, is protected by host-level protection or guest-level protection.

A method is provided for recording a list of facilities available to a program executing on an information processing system. In such method a storage location and a length of data are defined for recording the list of facilities by a program being executed on the information processing system. An instruction is issued by the program for determining the available facilities and recording the list of available facilities in accordance with the defined storage location and data length. A processor executes the instruction to determine the available facilities and record the list of facilities in accordance with the defined storage location and defined data length. The recorded list of facilities can then be read by the first program.

摘要:
Management of storage used by pageable guests of a computing environment is facilitated. An enhanced suppression-on-protection facility is provided that enables the determination of which level of protection (host or guest) caused a fault condition, in response to an attempted storage access.

The invention relates to monitoring processor characteristic information of a processor using run-time-instrumentation. An aspect of the invention includes executing an instruction stream on the processor and detecting a run-time instrumentation sample point of the executing instruction stream on the processor. A reporting group is stored in a run-time instrumentation program buffer based on the run-time instrumentation sample point. The reporting group includes processor characteristic information associated with the processor.

Two forms of TOD Clock instructions are provided, Store Clock and Store Clock Fast. Execution of the Store Clock Fast instruction may produce a time of day (TOD) result that is exactly the same as a previous TOD result, however execution of Store Clock Fast instructions while the clock is running always produce unique TOD results.
摘要:
In a logically partitioned host computer system comprising host processors (host CPUs), a facility and instruction for discovering topology of one or more guest processors (guest CPUs) of a guest configuration comprises a guest processor of the guest configuration fetching and executing a STORE SYSTEM INFORMATION instruction that obtains topology information of the computer configuration. The topology information comprising nesting information of processors of the configuration and the degree of dedication a host processor provides to a corresponding guest processor. The information is preferably stored in a single table in memory.
