[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 00/13] pc: q35: x2APIC support in kvm_apic mode


From: Igor Mammedov
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH v3 00/13] pc: q35: x2APIC support in kvm_apic mode
Date: Thu, 13 Oct 2016 11:52:34 +0200

Changes since v2:
  - rebase on top of EIM fixes
  - drop kvm_has_x2apic_ids() and reuse kvm_enable_x2apic()
    from Radim's EIM fixes
  - fix hang on reboot in BIOS due to not updated 'etc/boot-cpus' fwcfg file
    after CPU hotplug
  - drop not used anymore pc_present_cpus_count() and incrementally count
    present VCPUs as they are added/removed at (un)plug callbacks time

Changes since v1:
  - rebase on top of 2.7
  - drop add 2.8 machine and linux headers update patches
  - drop numa related patches (will post separately as unrelated)
  - change default mc->maxcpus only for q35

Changes since RFC:
  - use new KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API to detect x2APIC IDs support
  - rebase on top of 2.7-rc1, since many deps were merged
  - fix etc/boot-cpus to account for -device provided cpus
  - include not yet merged _PXM fix as prereq
  - add 2.8 machine type and bump up maxcpus count since it

Series extends current CPU/kvm_apic/Q35 machine
code to support x2APIC and upto 288 VCPUs when QEMU
is used with KVM's lapic.

Due to FW_CFG_MAX_CPUS (which is actually apic_id_limit)
being limited to uint16_t, the max possible APIC ID is
limitted to 2^16 with this series but that should
be sufficient for bumping VCPUs number for quite a while.

Not yet fixed x2APIC issues:
CPU hotplug doesn't work for CPUs where APIC ID > 254
(guest has to be rebooted to pickup hotplugged CPUs)
due to kernel_irqchip loosing directed IPIs (INIT/SIPI)
to APICs above 254 as a hotplugged CPU is in after power-on
state (i.e. not in x2APIC mode).
Radim's going to post KVM patch to fix it and on top of it
I'll post a followup QEMU sanity check patch to detect if host
supports directed IPIs to CPUs with APIC IDs above 254 in
after power-on state.


Tested with following CLI:
 QEMU -M q35 -enable-kvm \
      -device intel-iommu,intremap=on,eim=on -machine kernel_irqchip=split \
      -smp 1,sockets=9,cores=32,threads=1,maxcpus=288 \
      -device qemu64-x86_64-cpu,socket-id=8,core-id=30,thread-id=0       \
      -bios x2apic_bios.bin

v2 for reference:
[PATCH v2 00/14] pc: q35: x2APIC support in kvm_apic mode
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-09/msg05630.html

Depends on following series:
[PATCH v5 0/7] intel_iommu: fix EIM
https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/qemu-devel/2016-10/msg01981.html

git gree for testing:
https://github.com/imammedo/qemu.git x2apic_v3

To play with the feature, one would also need x2apic enabled
seabios counterpart:
