[PATCH v5 0/3] hw/i386/pc: Update max_cpus and default to SMBIOS

[PATCH v5 0/3] hw/i386/pc: Update max_cpus and default to SMBIOS

[Suravee Suthikulpanit]

In order to support large number of vcpus, a newer 64-bit SMBIOS
entry point type is needed. Therefore, upgrade the default SMBIOS version
for PC machines to SMBIOS 3.0 for newer systems. Then increase the maximum
number of vCPUs for Q35 models to 1024, which is the limit for KVM.

Changes from V4:
(https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230605213906.644883-1-suravee.suthikulpanit@amd.com/)
 * Patch 1: Introduce a helper function pc_machine_init_smbios() and
   move the callsite from pc_machine_done() to pc_machine_init_fn().

 * Patch 2: Remove stuct PCMachineState::smbios_use_cmdline_ep_type.

 * Patch 3: Keep max_cpus for pc machine version 8.0 and older as 288.

Changes from V3:
(https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230603032255.517970-1-suravee.suthikulpanit@amd.com/T/#t )
 * Patch 1: Refactor the code to setup SMBIOS defaults to pc_machine_done().
 * Patch 2: Minor typo fixes in comment.

Changes from V2:
(https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20230531225127.331998-1-suravee.suthikulpanit@amd.com/)
 * Add patch 1.

Changes from V1:
(https://lore.kernel.org/all/YnkDGsIi1vFvXmiP@redhat.com/T/)
 * Bump from 512 to KVM_MAX_VCPUS (per Igor's suggestion)

Thank you,
Suravee

[PATCH v5 1/3] hw/i386/pc: Refactor logic to set SMBIOS defaults

[Suravee Suthikulpanit]

Into a helper function pc_machine_init_smbios() in preparation for
subsequent code to upgrade default SMBIOS entry point type.

Then, call the helper function from the pc_machine_initfn() to eliminate
duplicate code in pc_q35.c and pc_pixx.c. However, this changes the
ordering of when the smbios_set_defaults() is called to before
pc_machine_set_smbios_ep() (i.e. before handling the user specified
QEMU option "-M ...,smbios-entry-point-type=[32|64]" to override
the default type.)

Therefore, also call the helper function in pc_machine_set_smbios_ep()
to update the defaults.

There is no functional change.

This is unsafe - smbios_set_defaults is only intended to be called
once. Calling it twice leads to a SEGV due to double-free

$  ./build/qemu-system-x86_64 -machine pc,smbios-entry-point-type=64 -smbios file=/tmp/smbios_entry_point
Segmentation fault (core dumped)

IMHO we should just not do this refactoring. The existing duplicated
code is not a significant burden, and thus is better than having to
workaround calling pc_machine_set_smbios_ep too early in startup.

with 2/3 amended as suggested, this patch is not necessary 
and 2/3 and 3/3 would do the job just fine

[PATCH v5 2/3] hw/i386/pc: Default to use SMBIOS 3.0 for newer machine models

[Suravee Suthikulpanit]

Currently, pc-q35 and pc-i44fx machine models are default to use SMBIOS 2.8
(32-bit entry point). Since SMBIOS 3.0 (64-bit entry point) is now fully
supported since QEMU 7.0, default to use SMBIOS 3.0 for newer machine
models. This is necessary to avoid the following message when launching
a VM with large number of vcpus.

   "SMBIOS 2.1 table length 66822 exceeds 65535"

[PATCH v5 3/3] pc: q35: Bump max_cpus to 1024

[Suravee Suthikulpanit]

Since KVM_MAX_VCPUS is currently defined to 1024 for x86 as shown in
arch/x86/include/asm/kvm_host.h, update QEMU limits to the same number.

In case KVM could not support the specified number of vcpus, QEMU would
return the following error message:

  qemu-system-x86_64: kvm_init_vcpu: kvm_get_vcpu failed (xxx): Invalid argument

Also, keep max_cpus at 288 for machine version 8.0 and older.

Odd, we already check the upper limit with KVM_CAP_NR_VCPUS.
See in kvm_init():

     /* check the vcpu limits */
     soft_vcpus_limit = kvm_recommended_vcpus(s);
     hard_vcpus_limit = kvm_max_vcpus(s);

When testing your series I get:

qemu-system-x86_64: -accel kvm: warning: Number of SMP cpus requested 
(1024) exceeds the recommended cpus supported by KVM (710)

$ uname -srvp

Also do not forget about TCG where KVM accel is not even in the picture.
