[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v2 00/14] pc: q35: x2APIC support in kvm_apic mode

[Igor Mammedov]

Changes since v1:
  - rebase on top of 2.7
  - drop add 2.8 machine and linux headers update patches
  - drop numa related patches (will post separately as unrelated)
  - change default mc->maxcpus only for q35

Changes since RFC:
  - use new KVM_CAP_X2APIC_API to detect x2APIC IDs support
  - rebase on top of 2.7-rc1, since many deps were merged
  - fix etc/boot-cpus to account for -device provided cpus
  - include not yet merged _PXM fix as prereq
  - add 2.8 machine type and bump up maxcpus count since it

Series extends current CPU/kvm_apic/generic pc machine
code to support x2APIC and upto 288 VCPUs when QEMU
is used with KVM's lapic.

Due to FW_CFG_MAX_CPUS (which is actually apic_id_limit)
being limited to uint16_t, the max possible APIC ID is
limitted to 2^16 with this series but that should
be sufficient for bumping VCPUs number for quite a while.

Tested with following CLI:
 QEMU -M q35 -enable-kvm \
      -device intel-iommu,intremap=on -machine kernel_irqchip=split \
      -smp 1,sockets=9,cores=32,threads=1,maxcpus=288 \
      -device qemu64-x86_64-cpu,socket-id=8,core-id=30,thread-id=0       \
      -bios x2apic_bios.bin


git gree for testing:

To play with the feature, one would also need x2apic enabled
seabios counterpart:

  pc: clarify FW_CFG_MAX_CPUS usage comment
  increase MAX_CPUMASK_BITS from 255 to 288
  pc: add 'etc/boot-cpus' fw_cfg file for machine with more than 255
    CPUs
