This is the our v4 patch series, rebased on the master branch at the commit 9ef497755afc2 ("Merge tag 'pull-vfio-20230911' of https://github.com/legoater/qemu into staging"). Comparing with v3 [1], v4 mainly refactors the CPUID[0x1F] encoding and exposes module level in CPUID[0x1F] with these new patches: * [PATCH v4 08/21] i386: Split topology types of CPUID[0x1F] from the definitions of CPUID[0xB] * [PATCH v4 09/21] i386: Decouple CPUID[0x1F] subleaf with specific topology level * [PATCH v4 12/21] i386: Expose module level in CPUID[0x1F] v4 also fixes compile warnings and fixes cache topology uninitialization bugs for some AMD CPUs. Welcome your comments! # Introduction This series add the cluster support for x86 PC machine, which allows x86 can use smp.clusters to configure the module level CPU topology of x86. And since the compatibility issue (see section: ## Why not share L2 cache in cluster directly), this series also introduce a new command to adjust the topology of the x86 L2 cache. Welcome your comments! # Background The "clusters" parameter in "smp" is introduced by ARM [2], but x86 hasn't supported it. 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 [3], that is, every four Atom cores shares one L2 cache. Therefore, we need the new CPU topology level (cluster/module). Another reason is for hybrid architecture. cluster support not only provides another level of topology definition in x86, but would also provide required code change for future our hybrid topology support. # Overview ## Introduction of module level for x86 "cluster" in smp is the CPU topology level which is between "core" and die. For x86, the "cluster" in smp is corresponding to the module level [4], which is above the core level. So use the "module" other than "cluster" in x86 code. And please note that x86 already has a cpu topology level also named "cluster" [4], this level is at the upper level of the package. Here, the cluster in x86 cpu topology is completely different from the "clusters" as the smp parameter. After the module level is introduced, the cluster as the smp parameter will actually refer to the module level of x86. ## Why not share L2 cache in cluster directly Though "clusters" was introduced to help define L2 cache topology [2], using cluster 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 cluster to configure L2 cache topology with the new default setting "clusters per L2 cache is 1", the above semantics will change to "2 cores per cluster" and "1 cluster 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 cluster as a cpu topology level and avoid using it to change L2 cache by default for compatibility. ## 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. We can configure CPUID.04H.02H (L2 cache topology) with module level by a new command: "-cpu,x-l2-cache-topo=cluster" More information about this command, please see the section: "## New property: x-l2-cache-topo". ## New cache topology info in CPUCacheInfo 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 [2]. Thus, in this patch set, we explicitly define the corresponding cache topology for different cpu models and this has two benefits: 1. Easy to expand to new CPU models in the future, which has different cache topology. 2. It can easily support custom cache topology by some command (e.g., x-l2-cache-topo). ## New property: x-l2-cache-topo The property x-l2-cache-topo will be used to change the L2 cache topology in CPUID.04H. Now it allows user to set the L2 cache is shared in core level or cluster level. If user passes "-cpu x-l2-cache-topo=[core|cluster]" then older L2 cache topology will be overrode by the new topology setting. Since CPUID.04H is used by Intel CPUs, this property is available on Intel CPUs as for now. When necessary, it can be extended to CPUID[0x8000001D] for AMD CPUs. # Patch description patch 1-2 Cleanups about coding style and test name. patch 3-5 Fixes about x86 topology and Intel l1 cache topology. patch 6-7 Cleanups about topology related CPUID encoding and QEMU topology variables. patch 8-9 Refactor CPUID[0x1F] encoding to prepare to introduce module level. patch 10-16 Add the module as the new CPU topology level in x86, and it is corresponding to the cluster level in generic code. patch 17,18,20 Add cache topology information in cache models. patch 19 Update AMD CPUs' cache topology encoding. patch 21 Introduce a new command to configure L2 cache topology.
