Subject: [PATCH 12/17] powerpc: method to initialize ec and vp cores
Date: Wed, 19 Nov 2025 18:14:44 +0530 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20251119124449.1149616-13-sshegde@linux.ibm.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20251119124449.1149616-1-sshegde@linux.ibm.com>
During system init, capture the number of EC and VP cores on Shared
Processor LPARs(aka VM). (SPLPAR )
EC - Entitled Cores - Hypervisor(PowerVM) guarantees this many cores
worth of cycles.
VP - Virtual Processor Cores - Total logical cores present in the LPAR.
In SPLPAR's typically there is overcommit of vCPUs. i.e VP > EC.
These values will be used in subsequent patches to calculate number of
cores to use when there is steal time.
Note: DLPAR specific method need to call this again. Yet to be done.
