[Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.10 00/23] numa: add '-numa cpu' option

[Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com>]

Changes since RFC:
    * convert all targets that support numa (Eduardo)
    * add numa CLI tests
    * support wildcard matching with "-numa cpu,..." (Paolo)

Series introduces a new CLI option to allow mapping cpus to numa
nodes using public properties [socket|core|thread]-ids instead of
internal cpu_index and moving internal handling of cpu<->node
mapping from cpu_index based global bitmaps to MachineState.

New '-numa cpu' option is supported only on PC and SPAPR
machines that implement hotpluggable-cpus query.
ARM machine user-facing interface stays cpu_index based due to
lack of hotpluggable-cpus support, but internally cpu<->node
mapping will be using the common for PC/SPAPR/ARM approach
(i.e. store mapping info in MachineState:possible_cpus)

It only provides CLI interface to do mapping, there is no QMP
one as I haven't found a suitable place/way to update/set mapping
after machine_done for QEMU started with -S (stopped mode) so that
mgmt could query hopluggable-cpus first, then map them to numa nodes
in runtime before actually allowing guest to run.

Another alternative I've been considering is to add CLI option
similar to -S but that would pause initialization before machine_init()
callback is run so that user can get CPU layout with hopluggable-cpus,
then map CPUs to numa nodes and unpause to let machine_init() initialize
machine using previously predefined numa mapping.
Such option might also be useful for other usecases.
