[Qemu-devel] [RFC PATCH v0 0/8] cpu-package hotplug

[Bharata B Rao]

Hi,

This is an attempt to implement David Gibson's RFC that was posted at
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-ppc/2016-02/msg00000.html
I am not sure if I have followed all the aspects of the RFC fully, but we
can make changes going forward.

An example cpu-package implementation is done for sPAPR in this patchset.
Hot removal is not yet done in this patchset.

For the command line,

-smp 8,sockets=1,cores=1,threads=8,maxcpus=16 -numa node,nodeid=0,cpus=0-7 
-numa node,nodeid=1,cpus=8-15

the HMP query looks like this:

(qemu) info cpu-packages 
CPU Package: ""
  type: "spapr-cpu-package"
  qom_path: "/machine/cpu-package[0]"
  realized: true
  nr_cpus: 8
  CPU: 0
    Type: "host-powerpc64-cpu"
    Arch ID: 0
    Thread: 0
    Core: 0
    Socket: 0
    Node: 0
  CPU: 1
    Type: "host-powerpc64-cpu"

    Thread: 1

    Socket: 0
    Node: 0
  CPU: 5
    Type: "host-powerpc64-cpu"
    Arch ID: 5

    Core: 0
    Socket: 0

  CPU: 7
    Type: "host-powerpc64-cpu"
    Arch ID: 7
    Thread: 7
    Core: 0
    Socket: 0
    Node: 0
CPU Package: ""
  type: "spapr-cpu-package"
  qom_path: "/machine/cpu-package[1]"
  realized: false
  nr_cpus: 8

As can be seen from above, all the cores upto max_cpus are created upfront
here and hot plug is done in the following manner:

(qemu) qom-set /machine/cpu-package[1] realized true

This will result in the 2nd cpu-package consisting of a core with 8 threads
to become available.

I am not fully sure if the QMP emumeration here works for all archs, but
just wanted to share what I currently.
