[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 00/27 RFC v7] ACPI memory hotplug

[Igor Mammedov]

---
What's new since v6:

* DIMM device is split to backend and frontend. Therefore following
  command/options were added for supporting it:

  For memdev backend:
      CLI: -memdev-add
      Monitor/QMP: memdev-add
          with options: 'id' and 'size'
  For dimm frontend:
      option "size" became readonly, pulling it's size from attached backend
      added option "memdev" for specifying backend by 'id'

* Added Q35 support
* Added support for 32 bit guests
* build for i386 emulator (not tested)
---

This series allows to hotplug 'arbitrary' DIMM devices specifying size,
NUMA node mapping (guest side), slot and address where to map it, at runtime.

Due to ACPI limitation there is need to specify a number of possible
DIMM devices. For this task -m option was extended to support
following format:

  -m [mem=]RamSize[,slots=N,maxmem=M]

To allow memory hotplug user must specify a pair of additional parameters:
    'slots' - number of possible increments
    'maxmem' - max possible total memory size QEMU is allowed to use,
               including RamSize.

minimal monitor command syntax to hotplug DIMM device:

  memdev-add id=memX,size=1G
  device_add dimm,id=dimmX,memdev=memX

DIMM device provides following properties that could be used with
device_add / -device to alter default behavior:

  id    - unique string identifying device [mandatory]
  slot  - number in range [0-slots) [optional], if not specified
          the first free slot is used
  node  - NUMA node id [optional] (default: 0)
  size  - amount of memory to add, readonly derived from backing memdev
  start - guest's physical address where to plug DIMM [optional],
          if not specified the first gap in hotplug memory region
          that fits DIMM is used

 -device option could be used for adding potentially hotunplugable DIMMs
and also for specifying hotplugged DIMMs in migration case.

Tested guests:
 - RHEL 6x64
 - Windows 2012DCx64
 - Windows 2008DCx64
 - Windows 2008DCx32

Known limitations/bugs/TODOs:
 - only hot-add supported
 - max number of supported DIMM devices 255 (due to ACPI object name
   limit), could be increased creating several containers and putting
   DIMMs there. (exercise for future) 
 - failed hotplug action consumes 1 slot (device_add doesn't delete
   device properly if realize failed)
 - e820 table doesn't include DIMM devices added with -device /
   (or after reboot devices added with device_add)
 - Windows 2008 remembers DIMM configuration, so if DIMM with other
   start/size is added into the same slot, it refuses to use it insisting
   on old mapping.

Series is based on mst's PCI tree and requires following SeaBIOS patch:
  http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/292614/
  on top of patches to load ACPI tables from QEMU
  working SeaBIOS tree for testing is available at:
    https://github.com/imammedo/seabios/commits/memhp-wip

QEMU git tree for testing is available at:
  https://github.com/imammedo/qemu/commits/memory-hotplug-v7

Example QEMU cmd line:
  qemu-system-x86_64 -enable-kvm -monitor unix:/tmp/mon,server,nowait \ 
     -m 4096,slots=4,maxmem=8G -L /custome_seabios guest.img

PS:
  Windows guest requires SRAT table for hotplug to work so add extra option:
   -numa node
  to QEMU command line.
