Merge remote-tracking branch 'remotes/borntraeger/tags/kvm-s390-20140901' into staging
s390x/kvm: Several updates/fixes/features 1. s390x/kvm: avoid synchronize_rcu's in kernel ---------------------------------------------- The first patches change s390x/kvm code to issue VCPU specific ioctls from the VCPU thread. This will avoid unnecessary synchronize_rcu in the kernel, which caused a noticably slowdown with many guest CPUs. It speeds up all start/restart/reset operations involving cpus drastically. 2. s390-ccw.img: block size and DASD format support --------------------------------------------------- The second part changes the s390-ccw bios to IPL (boot) more disk formats than before. Furthermore a small fix is made to the console output of the bios. 3. s390: Support for Hotplug of Standby Memory ---------------------------------------------- The third part adds support in s390 for a pool of standby memory, which can be set online/offline by the guest (ie, via chmem). The standby pool of memory is allocated as the difference between the initial memory setting and the maxmem setting. As part of this work, additional results are provided for the Read SCP Information SCLP, and new implentation is added for the Read Storage Element Information, Attach Storage Element, Assign Storage and Unassign Storage SCLPs, which enables the s390 guest to manipulate the standby memory pool. This patchset is based on work originally done by Jeng-Fang (Nick) Wang. Sample qemu command snippet: qemu -machine s390-ccw-virtio -m 1024M,maxmem=2048M,slots=32 -enable-kvm This will allocate 1024M of active memory, and another 1024M of standby memory. Example output from s390-tools lsmem: ============================================================================= 0x0000000000000000-0x000000000fffffff 256 online no 0-127 0x0000000010000000-0x000000001fffffff 256 online yes 128-255 0x0000000020000000-0x000000003fffffff 512 online no 256-511 0x0000000040000000-0x000000007fffffff 1024 offline - 512-1023 Memory device size : 2 MB Memory block size : 256 MB Total online memory : 1024 MB Total offline memory: 1024 MB The guest can dynamically enable part or all of the standby pool via the s390-tools chmem, for example: chmem -e 512M And can attempt to dynamically disable: chmem -d 512M 4. s390x/gdb: various fixes --------------------------- * Patch 1 fixes a bug where the cc was changed accidentally. * Patch 2 adds the gdb feature XML files for s390x * Patch 3 Define acr and fpr registers as coprocessor registers. This allows us to reuse the feature XML files. * Patch 4 whitespace fixes # gpg: Signature made Mon 01 Sep 2014 12:53:39 BST using RSA key ID B5A61C7C # gpg: Can't check signature: public key not found * remotes/borntraeger/tags/kvm-s390-20140901: s390x/gdb: coding style fixes s390x/gdb: generate target.xml and handle fp/ac as coprocessors s390x/gdb: add the feature xml files for s390x s390x/gdb: don't touch the cc if tcg is not enabled sclp-s390: Add memory hotplug SCLPs s390-virtio: Apply same memory boundaries as virtio-ccw virtio-ccw: Include standby memory when calculating storage increment sclp-s390: Add device to manage s390 memory hotplug pc-bios/s390-ccw.img binary update pc-bios/s390-ccw: Do proper console setup pc-bios/s390-ccw: IPL from DASD with format variations pc-bios/s390-ccw Really big EAV ECKD DASD handling pc-bios/s390-ccw Improve ECKD informational message pc-bios/s390-ccw: handle more ECKD DASD block sizes pc-bios/s390-ccw: support all virtio block size s390x/kvm: execute the first cpu reset on the vcpu thread s390x/kvm: execute "system reset" cpu resets on the vcpu thread s390x/kvm: execute sigp orders on the target vcpu thread s390x/kvm: run guest triggered resets on the target vcpu thread Signed-off-by: Peter Maydell <peter.maydell@linaro.org>
