KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID is currently always reporting KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID on all architectures. However, on s390x, the amount of usable CPUs is determined during runtime - it is depending on the features of the machine the code is running on. Since we are using the vcpu_id as an index into the SCA structures that are defined by the hardware (see e.g. the sca_add_vcpu() function), it is not only the amount of CPUs that is limited by the hard- ware, but also the range of IDs that we can use. Thus KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID must be determined during runtime on s390x, too. So the handling of KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPU_ID has to be moved from the common code into the architecture specific code, and on s390x we have to return the same value here as for KVM_CAP_MAX_VCPUS. This problem has been discovered with the kvm_create_max_vcpus selftest. With this change applied, the selftest now passes on s390x, too.

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.
