Compared with v9 [1], v10 mainly contains minor cleanups, without significant code changes. Intel's hybrid Client platform and E core server platform introduce module level and share L2 cache on the module level, in order to configure the CPU/cache topology for the Guest to be consistent with Host's, this series did the following work: * Add now "module" CPU topology level for x86 CPU. * Refacter cache topology encoding for x86 CPU (This is base to support the L2 per module). So, this series is also necessary to support subsequent user configurations of cache topology (via -smp, [2]) and Intel heterogeneous CPU topology ([3] and [4]). Background ========== At present, x86 defaults L2 cache is shared in one core, but this is not enough. There're some platforms that multiple cores share the same L2 cache, e.g., Alder Lake-P shares L2 cache for one module of Atom cores, that is, every four Atom cores shares one L2 cache. On E core server platform, there's the similar L2 per module topology. Therefore, we need the new CPU topology level. Another reason is that Intel client hybrid architectures organize P cores and E cores via module, so a new CPU topology level is necessary to support hybrid CPU topology! Why We Introduce Module Instead of Reusing Cluster -------------------------------------------------- For the discussion in v7 about whether we should reuse current smp.clusters for x86 module, the core point is what's the essential differences between x86 module and general cluster. Since, cluster (for ARM/riscv) lacks a comprehensive and rigorous hardware definition, and judging from the description of smp.clusters [5] when it was introduced by QEMU, x86 module is very similar to general smp.clusters: they are all a layer above existing core level to organize the physical cores and share L2 cache. But there are following reasons that drive us to introduce the new smp.modules: * As the CPU topology abstraction in device tree [6], cluster supports nesting (though currently QEMU hasn't support that). In contrast, (x86) module does not support nesting. * Due to nesting, there is great flexibility in sharing resources on cluster, rather than narrowing cluster down to sharing L2 (and L3 tags) as the lowest topology level that contains cores. * Flexible nesting of cluster allows it to correspond to any level between the x86 package and core. * In Linux kernel, x86's cluster only represents the L2 cache domain but QEMU's smp.clusters is the CPU topology level. Linux kernel will also expose module level topology information in sysfs for x86. To avoid cluster ambiguity and keep a consistent CPU topology naming style with the Linux kernel, we introduce module level for x86. Based on the above considerations, and in order to eliminate the naming confusion caused by the mapping between general cluster and x86 module, we now formally introduce smp.modules as the new topology level. Where to Place Module in Existing Topology Levels ------------------------------------------------- The module is, in existing hardware practice, the lowest layer that contains the core, while the cluster is able to have a higher topological scope than the module due to its nesting. Therefore, we place the module between the cluster and the core: drawer/book/socket/die/cluster/module/core/thread Patch Series Overview ===================== Introduction of Module Level in -smp ------------------------------------ First, a new module level is introduced in the -smp related code to support the module topology in subsequent x86 parts. Users can specify the number of modules (in one die) for a PC machine with "-smp modules=*". Why not Share L2 Cache in Module Directly ----------------------------------------- Though one of module's goals is to implement L2 cache per module, directly using module to define x86's L2 cache topology will cause the compatibility problem: Currently, x86 defaults that the L2 cache is shared in one core, which actually implies a default setting "cores per L2 cache is 1" and therefore implicitly defaults to having as many L2 caches as cores. For example (i386 PC machine): -smp 16,sockets=2,dies=2,cores=2,threads=2,maxcpus=16 (*) Considering the topology of the L2 cache, this (*) implicitly means "1 core per L2 cache" and "2 L2 caches per die". If we use module to configure L2 cache topology with the new default setting "modules per L2 cache is 1", the above semantics will change to "2 cores per module" and "1 module per L2 cache", that is, "2 cores per L2 cache". So the same command (*) will cause changes in the L2 cache topology, further affecting the performance of the virtual machine. Therefore, x86 should only treat module as a cpu topology level and avoid using it to change L2 cache by default for compatibility. Thereby, we need another way to allow user to configure cache topology, this is anther RFC [2]. Module Level in CPUID --------------------- Linux kernel (from v6.4, with commit edc0a2b595765 ("x86/topology: Fix erroneous smp_num_siblings on Intel Hybrid platforms") is able to handle platforms with Module level enumerated via CPUID.1F. Expose the module level in CPUID[0x1F] (for Intel CPUs) if the machine has more than 1 modules since v3. New Cache Topology Info in CPUCacheInfo --------------------------------------- (This is in preparation for users being able to configure cache topology from the command line later on.) Currently, by default, the cache topology is encoded as: 1. i/d cache is shared in one core. 2. L2 cache is shared in one core. 3. L3 cache is shared in one die. This default general setting has caused a misunderstanding, that is, the cache topology is completely equated with a specific CPU topology, such as the connection between L2 cache and core level, and the connection between L3 cache and die level. In fact, the settings of these topologies depend on the specific platform and are not static. For example, on Alder Lake-P, every four Atom cores share the same L2 cache [3]. Thus, in this patch set, we explicitly define the corresponding cache topology for different cache models and this has two benefits: 1. Easy to expand to new cache models with different topology in the future. 2. It can easily support custom cache topology by some command.
