[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 8/8] xl: introduce topology options

Namely sockets, cores and threads to describe the topology as seen by the guest. This as an alternative to the SMT option that is also proposed. Signed-off-by: Joao Martins --- CC: Ian Jackson CC: Stefano Stabellini

[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/8] x86/hvm, libxl: HVM SMT topology support

Hey! This series are a follow-up on the thread about the performance of hard-pinned HVM guests. Here we propose allowing libxl to change how the CPU topology looks like for the HVM guest, which can favor certain workloads as depicted by Elena on this thread [0]. It shows around 22-23% gain on

[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 7/8] libxl: introduce topology fields

Currently there is "smt" option that changes from a flat core topology to a core+thread topology. This patch adds more expressive options for describing the topology as seen by the guest i.e. sockets, cores and threads to adjust cpu topology as seen by the guest. Signed-off-by: Joao Martins

[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 1/8] x86/hvm: set initial apicid to vcpu_id

Currently the initial_apicid is set vcpu_id * 2 which makes it difficult for the toolstack to manage how is the topology seen by the guest. Instead of forcing procpkg and proccount to be VCPUID * 2, instead we set it to max vcpuid on proccount to max_vcpu_id + 1 (logical number of logical cores)

[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 3/8] libxl: cpuid: add cache core count support

Intel Cache Topology info is determinted by the leaf 4 its subleaves. So, Only the core count is exposed as the remaining info in the subleaves are inherited by the host (e.g. cache size) Signed-off-by: Joao Martins --- CC: Ian Jackson CC:

[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 6/8] xl: introduce smt option

This options changes how "vcpus" are seen by dividing them in the number of SMT threads supported by the host. This should be used together with "cpus" so that the topology matches. Signed-off-by: Joao Martins --- CC: Ian Jackson CC: Stefano

[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 4/8] libxl: cpuid: add guest topology support

Introduce internal cpuid routine for setting the topology as seen by the guest. The topology is made based on leaf 1 and leaf 4 for Intel, more specifically setting: Number of logical processors: proccount (CPUID.1:EBX[16:24]) Number of physical cores - 1: procpkg

[Xen-devel] [PATCH RFC 5/8] libxl: introduce smt field

By setting it to true, it enables the vcpus set by the guest to be seen as a SMT-enabled topology. It uses then libxl__cpuid_set_topology() to change the cpuid accordingly. This setting is made *before* the cpuid is set so that any changes could be overwritten. The number of SMT threads are the
