[Qemu-ppc] [PATCH v2 1/1] spapr: Set compat type for CPUs of a core


From: Bharata B Rao
Subject: [Qemu-ppc] [PATCH v2 1/1] spapr: Set compat type for CPUs of a core
Date: Mon, 27 Jun 2016 11:49:46 +0530

Compat CPU type is typically specified on -cpu cmdline option like:
-cpu host,compat=power7 or -cpu POWER8E,compat=power7 etc. When
compat is specified on -cpu cmdline, apply the same to all the
CPUs that get created as part of CPU core devices.

This patch takes care of compat property that is specified with
-cpu cmdline option only. The other way to specify this property
is via -global cmdline option and that usage isn't addressed by
this patch because -global is already broken for some CPU class
in PowerPC. There are two issues with using -global on CPU class.

- We specify alias names for CPUs commonly and use of alias names
  won't work with -global seamlessly. For eg, When "-cpu host" is
  specified, the actual CPU type that gets created
  is host-powerpc64-cpu. Hence specifying -global host.compat=power7
  will not work, so it has to be -global host-powerpc64-cpu.compat=power7.

- PowerPC class names have . (dot) and opts parsing doesn't like it.
  Specifying -global POWER8E_v2.1-powerpc64-cpu.compat=power7 will not
  work as the driver name gets extracted as POWER8E_v2 and hence setting
  of global property fails.

The above two aspects could be considered/fixed separately from this
patch as this patch allows existing uses of -cpu cpuname,compat= to
work correctly after the introducton of sPAPR CPU cores.

Changes in v2:
- No need for a separate property named compat for cores.
- Simplified spapr_get_cpu_compat_type() based on David's review.
