Subject: [PATCH v9 0/8] hw/arm/virt: Introduce cpu topology support
Date: Wed, 20 Oct 2021 22:21:17 +0800 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20211020142125.7516-1-wangyanan55@huawei.com> (raw)
Hi,
This is the latest v9 series which supports exposing vCPU topology
to the guest for Arm virt machines.
Description of this series:
Once the view of an accurate virtual cpu topology is provided to guest,
with a well-designed vCPU pinning to the pCPU we may get a huge benefit,
e.g., the scheduling performance improvement. See Dario Faggioli's
research and the related performance tests in [1] for reference.
This patch series introduces cpu topology support for Arm platform.
Both cpu-map in DT and ACPI PPTT table are introduced to store the
topology information. And we only describe the topology information
to 6.2 and newer virt machines, considering compatibility.

Changelog:
v8->v9:
- add Eric's R-bs, thanks!
- address Eric's suggestions to update some function comments and commit msg (patch #5)
- make build_processor_hierarchy_node static as it's only used by build_pptt (patch #4)
- retested.
- v8: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20211014132206.19220-1-wangyanan55@huawei.com/
v7->v8:
- rebased on top of master (commit e5b2333f24)
- only add one generic expected file for PPTT instead of four, which works
fine enough for now (patch #6 and #8 updated)
- v7: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20211007030746.10420-1-wangyanan55@huawei.com/
v6->v7:
- rebased on top of master (commit ca61fa4b80)
- use newly introduced acpi_table_begin/acpi_table_end APIs to build PPTT
(patch #5 updated)
- add reference files for PPTT to fix broken bios-table-test for Aarch64
virt machine (patch #6-#8 added)
- v6: https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20210824122016.144364-1-wangyanan55@huawei.com/
