Performance can increase when the configured virtual topology is closer to the physical topology than a default topology would be. * For ARM, QEMU can't get the cache topology information from the CPU registers, then user configuration is necessary. Additionally, the cache information is also needed for MPAM emulation (for TCG) to build the right PPTT. Define smp-cache related enumeration and properties in QAPI, so that user could configure cache properties for SMP system through -machine in the subsequent patch. Cache enumeration (CacheLevelAndType) is implemented as the combination of cache level (level 1/2/3) and cache type (data/instruction/unified). Currently, separated L1 cache (L1 data cache and L1 instruction cache) with unified higher-level cache (e.g., unified L2 and L3 caches), is the most common cache architectures. Therefore, enumerate the L1 D-cache, L1 I-cache, L2 cache and L3 cache with smp-cache object to add the basic cache topology support. Other kinds of caches (e.g., L1 unified or L2/L3 separated caches) can be added directly into CacheLevelAndType if necessary. Cache properties (SmpCacheProperties) currently only contains cache topology information, and other cache properties can be added in it if necessary. Note, define cache topology based on CPU topology level with two reasons: 1. In practice, a cache will always be bound to the CPU container (either private in the CPU container or shared among multiple containers), and CPU container is often expressed in terms of CPU topology level. 2. The x86's cache-related CPUIDs encode cache topology based on APIC ID's CPU topology layout. And the ACPI PPTT table that ARM/RISCV relies on also requires CPU containers to help indicate the private shared hierarchy of the cache. Therefore, for SMP systems, it is natural to use the CPU topology hierarchy directly in QEMU to define the cache topology. Suggested-by: Daniel P. Berrange Signed-off-by: Zhao Liu Tested-by: Yongwei Ma --- Suggested by credit: * Referred to Daniel's suggestion to introduce cache object list. --- Changes since Patch v1: * Renamed SMPCacheProperty/SMPCacheProperties (QAPI structures) to SmpCacheProperties/SmpCachePropertiesWrapper. (Markus) * Renamed SMPCacheName (QAPI structure) to SmpCacheLevelAndType and dropped prefix. (Markus) * Renamed 'name' field in SmpCacheProperties to 'cache', since the type and level of the cache in SMP system could be able to specify all of these kinds of cache explicitly enough. * Renamed 'topo' field in SmpCacheProperties to 'topology'. (Markus) * Returned error information when user repeats setting cache properties. (Markus) * Renamed SmpCacheLevelAndType to CacheLevelAndType, since this representation is general across SMP or hybrid system. * Dropped handwriten smp-cache object and integrated cache pproperties list into MachineState (in next patch). (Markus) * Added the reason why x86 and ARM need to configure cache information. (Markus and Jonathan) Changes since RFC v2: * New commit to implement cache list with JSON format instead of multiple sub-options in -smp. --- qapi/machine-common.json | 50 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ 1 file changed, 50 insertions(+) diff --git a/qapi/machine-common.json b/qapi/machine-common.json index 148a2c8dccca..f6fe1a208214 100644 --- a/qapi/machine-common.json +++ b/qapi/machine-common.json @@ -63,3 +63,53 @@ { 'enum': 'CpuTopologyLevel', 'data': [ 'invalid', 'thread', 'core', 'module', 'cluster', 'die', 'socket', 'book', 'drawer', 'default' ] } + +## +# @CacheLevelAndType: +# +# Caches a system may have.
