Bug Description

[Impact]

 * new models of s390x chips added new facilities which will help
   performant and feature-ful execution of guests on those new systems.

[Test Case]

 #1 against regressions we should run workloads as we have run them
    before, e.g. the regression test set that the server team usually
    runs - obviously none of these should be affected.

 #2 for the actual z14 GA2 and the z15 cpu model one needs the new HW to
    test these types. In this case IBM will do those verification as they
    have such Hardware available. On that guests with those new types
    should be used and tested. On older hardware they will fail to start
    lacking some facilities which are part of the new CPU models.

[Regression Potential]

 * The changes on s390x itself are mostly isolated
   Backports required to adapt a few things for Bionic and in general
   needed updated headers. If in review we missed something there this
   might affect other workloads and IMHO is the regression potential to
   keep in mind.

[Other Info]

 * This SRU is for the defined other safe cases "For Long Term Support
   releases we regularly want to enable new hardware. Such changes are
   appropriate provided that we can ensure not to affect upgrades on
   existing hardware. For example, modaliases of newly introduced drivers
   must not overlap with previously shipped drivers. This also includes
   updating hardware description data such as udev's keymaps, media-
   player-info, mobile broadband vendors, or PCI vendor/product list
   updates." from:
   https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates#Other_safe_cases
   In this case the new facilities and modes will and can only be used on
   those newer machines.
   Fortunately the changes to those definitions in qemu are isolated to
   CPU models and should not affect other (already existing) cpu models.
   Therefore we can add it
 * This is very similar to
   https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/qemu/+bug/1780773
   where we added the z14 ZR 1 type, just this time the new types change
   more which means more code, but also more benefit to use them.

For the requested backport we "only" need to consider:
- qemu 2.11
- qemu 3.1

Cosmic (2.12) will be out of support too soon and Xenial (2.5) is not requested.

In terms of "all required information for integration will be provided by IBM" will you provide backports of the set above for 2.11 and 3.1?
If you want to do so branches (git + debian packaging delta as quilt) are available at [1] and [2].

I test build this and it seems to work fine.
Do you want to cherry-pick yourself or do you want to have my patches?

Instead of adding even more patches here it seems better to just do a backport.

The provided bionic-v2 patch set applies as promised and builds together with the disco branch in a PPA [1]. Once built it would be great if you (=IBM) could give those packages a test in regard to the new CPU models on the new HW.
Afterwared I can go on pushing this - once the current SRU cleared the queue- to become the next SRU.

Adding these patches would be ok but not strictly necessary as upstream does not
enable mepoch extension for the 3.1 machine.
If you decide to pick those nevertheless, then you could also pick
commit f2a7d157711 ("s390x/cpumodel: add z14 GA2 model")
But as I said. I think those are not strictly necessary.

Yes.

In addition to that there are 2 (or optional 3) bugfixes on top that would be important to have in bionic,disco (and also eaon).

mandatory:
https://github.com/cohuck/qemu/commit/0d4cb295db7503fbac2f5bb3e878a56630231fed
(s390x/cpumodel: also change name of vxbeh)
https://github.com/cohuck/qemu/commit/de6bb08570065eb318849dfd7f316448e51197b5
( s390x/cpumodel: remove esort from the default model)

optional:
https://github.com/cohuck/qemu/commit/5d8866c89817998a3d9c3055d5dc2b5a8e78658a
( s390x/cpumodel: change internal name of vxpdeh to match description )

I expect Cornelia to send a pull request soon so I hope to have final commit IDs soon.

I was checking and resetting the tests, there were some flaky results none of them related to the actual upload.

FYI - there is one PPC fix part of the overall current ongoing SRU which might delay the release of this change a bit. It seems it might be ok on the qemu side, but lacking a kernel change - never the less this might gate this for a while until resolved on the kernel side or stripped from this upload.
