Subject: [RFCv3 06/17] powerpc/kvm: Add capability flag for hashed page table resizing
Date: Mon, 21 Mar 2016 14:53:13 +1100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <1458532404-21258-7-git-send-email-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <1458532404-21258-1-git-send-email-david@gibson.dropbear.id.au>
This adds a new powerpc-specific KVM_CAP_SPAPR_RESIZE_HPT capability to
advertise whether KVM is capable of handling the PAPR extensions for
resizing the hashed page table during guest runtime.
At present, HPT resizing is possible with KVM PR without kernel
modification, since the HPT is managed within qemu. It's not possible yet
with KVM HV, because the HPT is managed by KVM. At present, qemu has to
use other capabilities which (by accident) reveal whether PR or HV is in
use to know if it can advertise HPT resizing capability to the guest.
To avoid ambiguity with existing kernels, the encoding is a bit odd.
0 means "unknown" since that's what previous kernels will return
1 means "HPT resize possible if available if and only if the HPT is allocated in
userspace, rather than in the kernel". In practice this is the same
test as userspace already uses, but this makes it explicit.
2 will mean "HPT resize available and implemented in-kernel"
For now we always return 1, but the intention is to return 2 once HPT
resize is implemented for KVM HV.
