[RESEND,v20,3/8] numa: Extend CLI to provide memory side cache information

Commit Message

Tao Xu Dec. 13, 2019, 1:19 a.m. UTC

From: Liu Jingqi <[e-mail]>

Add -numa hmat-cache option to provide Memory Side Cache Information.
These memory attributes help to build Memory Side Cache Information
Structure(s) in ACPI Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT).
Before using hmat-cache option, enable HMAT with -machine hmat=on.

Changes in v20:
    - Disable cache level 0 in hmat-cache option (Igor)
    - Update the QAPI description (Markus)

Changes in v19:
    - Add description about the machine property 'hmat' in commit
      message (Markus)
    - Update the QAPI comments
    - Add a check for no memory side cache

Changes in v18:
    - Update the error message (Igor)

Changes in v17:
    - Use NumaHmatCacheOptions to replace HMAT_Cache_Info (Igor)
    - Add check for unordered cache level input (Igor)

Changes in v16:
    - Add cross check with hmat_lb data (Igor)
    - Drop total_levels in struct HMAT_Cache_Info (Igor)
    - Correct the error table number (Igor)
