[PATCH v9 00/10] s390x: CPU Topology


From: Pierre Morel
Subject: [PATCH v9 00/10] s390x: CPU Topology
Date: Fri, 2 Sep 2022 09:55:21 +0200

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.

Unnecessary objects have been removed, only a single S390Topology object
is created to support migration and reset.

Also a documentation has been added to the series.


To use these patches, you will need Linux V6-rc1 or newer.

Mainline patches needed are:

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.

New in this series
==================

  s390x/cpus: Make absence of multithreading clear

This patch makes clear that CPU-multithreading is not supported in
the guest.

  s390x/cpu topology: core_id sets s390x CPU topology

This patch uses the core_id to build the container topology
and the placement of the CPU inside the container.

  s390x/cpu topology: reporting the CPU topology to the guest

This patch is based on the fact that the CPU type for guests
is always IFL, CPUs are always dedicated and the polarity is
always horizontal.
This may change in the future.

  hw/core: introducing drawer and books for s390x
  s390x/cpu: reporting drawers and books topology to the guest

These two patches extend the topology handling to add two
new containers levels above sockets: books and drawers.

The subject of the last patches is clear enough (I hope).

Regards,
Pierre
