[Qemu-devel] [PATCH v5 0/9] i386: Enable TOPOEXT to support hyperthreading on AMD CPU |
Date: |
Tue, 27 Mar 2018 17:31:02 -0400 |
This series enables the TOPOEXT feature for AMD CPUs. This is required to
support hyperthreading on kvm guests.
This addresses the issues reported in these bugs:

https://bugs.launchpad.net/qemu/+bug/1703506
v5:
In this series I tried to address the feedback from Eduardo Habkost.
The discussion thread is here.

The previous thread is here.

Reason for these changes
The cache properties for AMD family of processors have changed from
previous releases. We don't want to display the new information on the
old family of processors as this might cause compatibility issues.
Changes:
1. Based the patches on top of Eduardo's(patch#1) patch.
Changed few things.
Moved the Cache definitions to cpu.h file.
Changed the CPUID_4 names to generic names.
2. Added a new propery "legacy-cache" in cpu object(patch#2). This can be
used to display the old property even if the host supports the new cache
properties.
3. Added cache information in X86CPUDefinition and CPUX86State
4. Patch 6-7 changed quite a bit from previous version does to new approach.
5. Addressed few issues with CPUID_8000_001d and CPUID_8000_001E.
v4:
1.Removed the checks under cpuid 0x8000001D leaf(patch #2). These check are
not necessary. Found this during internal review.
2.Added CPUID_EXT3_TOPOEXT feature for all the 17 family(patch #4). This was
found by Kash Pande during his testing.
3.Removed th hardcoded cpuid xlevel and dynamically extended if
CPUID_EXT3_TOPOEXT
is supported(Suggested by Brijesh Singh).
v3:
1.Removed the patch #1. Radim mentioned that original typo problem is in
linux kernel header. qemu is just copying those files.
2.In previous version, I used the cpuid 4 definitions for AMDs cpuid leaf
0x8000001D. CPUID 4 is very intel specific and we dont want to expose those
details under AMD. I have renamed some of these definitions as generic.
These changes are in patch#1. Radim, let me know if this is what you intended.
3.Added assert to for core_id(Suggested by Radim Kr??m????).
4.Changed the if condition under "L3 cache info"(Suggested by Gary Hook).
5.Addressed few more text correction and code cleanup(Suggested by Thomas
Lendacky).
v2:
Fixed few more minor issues per Gary Hook's comments. Thank you Gary.
Removed the patch#1. We need to handle the instruction cache associativity
seperately. It varies based on the cpu family. I will comeback to that later.
Added two more typo corrections in patch#1 and patch#5.
v1:
Stanislav Lanci posted few patches earlier.
https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10040903/
Rebased his patches with few changes.
1.Spit the patches into two, separating cpuid functions
0x8000001D and 0x8000001E (Patch 2 and 3).
2.Removed the generic non-intel check and made a separate patch
with some changes(Patch 5).
3.Fixed L3_N_SETS_AMD(from 4096 to 8192) based on CPUID_Fn8000001D_ECX_x03.
Added 2 more patches.
Patch 1. Fixes cache associativity.
Patch 4. Adds TOPOEXT feature on AMD EPYC CPU.
