Hi, The implementation of the CPU Topology in QEMU has been drastically modified since the last patch series and the number of LOCs has been greatly reduced. 1) Unnecessary objects have been removed, only a single S390Topology object is created to support migration and reset. 2) The introduction of drawers and books is deferred to a later version. 3) A new property, topology-disable, is added for new machines for test purpose and migration to/from a host without facility 11 from/to a host with the facility 11. Also a documentation has been added to the series. To use the QEMU patches, you will need Linux V6-rc1 or newer, or use the following Linux mainline patches: f5ecfee94493 2022-07-20 KVM: s390: resetting the Topology-Change-Report 24fe0195bc19 2022-07-20 KVM: s390: guest support for topology function 0130337ec45b 2022-07-20 KVM: s390: Cleanup ipte lock access and SIIF fac.. Currently this code is for KVM only, I have no idea if it is interesting to provide a TCG patch. If ever it will be done in another series. To have a better understanding of the S390x CPU Topology and its implementation in QEMU you can have a look at the documentation in the last patch of this series. The admin will want to match the host and the guest topology, taking into account that the guest does not recognize multithreading. Consequently, two vCPU assigned to threads of the same real CPU should preferably be assigned to the same socket of the guest machine.
