[v10,00/11] Build ACPI Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT)

Message

Tao Xu Sept. 1, 2019, 2:21 p.m. UTC

This series of patches will build Heterogeneous Memory Attribute Table (HMAT)
according to the command line. The ACPI HMAT describes the memory attributes,
such as memory side cache attributes and bandwidth and latency details,
related to the Memory Proximity Domain.
The software is expected to use HMAT information as hint for optimization.

In the linux kernel, the codes in drivers/acpi/hmat/hmat.c parse and report
the platform's HMAT tables.

These patches depend on:

Changelog:
v10:
    - Add qemu_strtotime_ps() to convert strings with time suffixes
    to numbers, and add some tests for it.
    - Add qapi buildin type time, and add some tests for it.
    - Add machine oprion properties "-machine hmat=on|off" for
	  enabling or disabling HMAT in QEMU.
v9:
    - change the CLI input way, make it more user firendly (Daniel Black)
    use latency=NUM[p|n|u]s and bandwidth=NUM[M|G|P](B/s) as input and drop
    the base-lat and base-bw input.
v8:
    - rebase to upstream
    - Add check if numa->numa_state is NULL in pxb_dev_realize_common
    - Use nb_nodes in spapr_populate_memory() (RESEND to fix) (Igor)
