+ ``-object '{"qom-type":"smp-cache","id":id,"caches":[{"name":cache_name,"topo":cache_topo}]}'``
+ Create an smp-cache object that configures machine's cache
+ property. Currently, cache property only include cache topology
+ level.
+
+ This option must be written in JSON format to support JSON list.
+
+ The ``caches`` parameter accepts a list of cache property in JSON
+ format.
+
+ A list element requires the cache name to be specified in the
+ ``name`` parameter (currently ``l1d``, ``l1i``, ``l2`` and ``l3``
+ are supported). ``topo`` parameter accepts CPU topology levels
+ including ``thread``, ``core``, ``module``, ``cluster``, ``die``,
+ ``socket``, ``book``, ``drawer`` and ``default``. The ``topo``
+ parameter indicates CPUs winthin the same CPU topology container
+ are sharing the same cache.
+
+ Some machines may have their own cache topology model, and this
+ object may override the machine-specific cache topology setting
+ by specifying smp-cache object in the -machine. When specifying
+ the cache topology level of ``default``, it will honor the default
+ machine-specific cache topology setting. For other topology levels,
+ they will override the default setting.
+
+ An example list of caches to configure the cache model (l1d cache
+ per core, l1i cache per core, l2 cache per module and l3 cache per
+ socket) supported by PC machine might look like:
+
+ ::
+
+ {
+ "caches": [
+ { "name": "l1d", "topo": "core" },
+ { "name": "l1i", "topo": "core" },
+ { "name": "l2", "topo": "module" },
+ { "name": "l3", "topo": "socket" },
+ ]
+ }
+
+ An example smp-cache object would look like:()
+
+ .. parsed-literal::
+
+ # |qemu_system| \\
+ ... \\
+ -object '{"qom-type":"smp-cache","id":id,"caches":[{"name":cache_name,"topo":cache_topo}]}' \\

Signed-off-by: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@intel.com> --- Changes since RFC v2: * Rewrote the document of smp-cache object. Changes since RFC v1: * Use "*_cache=topo_level" as -smp example as the original "level" term for a cache has a totally different meaning.
