[PATCH v12 0/7] s390x: CPU Topology

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi,

The implementation of the CPU Topology in QEMU has been modified
since the last patch series.

- The two preliminary patches have been accepted and are no longer
  part of this series.

- The topology machine property has been abandoned

- the topology_capable QEMU capability has been abandoned

- both where replaced with a new CPU feature, topology-disable
  to fence per default the ctop topology information feature.

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.

Regards,
Pierre

2.31.1

- since v11

- new CPU flag "disable-topology"
  I would have take "topology" if I was able to have
  it false on default.
  (Christian, Thomas)

- Build the topology during the interception of the
  STSI instruction.
  (Cedric)

- return CC3 in case the calculated SYSIB length is
  greater than 4096.
  (Janis)

- minor corections on documentation

- since v10

  the TLE masks to the socket structure.
  (-)
- the STSI instruction now finds the topology from the machine
  (Cedric)

- since v9

- remove books and drawers

- remove thread denying and replace with a merge
  of cores * threads to specify the CPUs available
  to the guest

- add a class option to avoid topology on older
  machines
  (Cedric)

- Allocate a SYSIB buffer of the maximal length to
  avoid overflow.
  (Nico, Janis)
