In the loop checking smp cache support, the error message should report
the current cache level and type.
Fix the parameter of error_setg() to ensure it reports the correct cache

Currently, we have no way to expose the arch-specific default cache
model because the cache model is sometimes related to the CPU model
(e.g., i386).
Since the user might configure "default" level, any comparison with
"default" is meaningless before the machine knows the specific level
that "default" refers to.
We can only check the correctness of the cache topology after the arch
loads the user-configured cache model from MachineState.smp_cache and
consumes the special "default" level by replacing it with the specific
level.

The x86 and ARM need to allow user to configure cache properties
(current only topology):
* For x86, the default cache topology model (of max/host CPU) does not
always match the Host's real physical cache topology. 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.
With smp-cache QAPI support, add smp cache topology for machine by
parsing the smp-cache object list.
Also add the helper to access/update cache topology level of machine.

This effectively reverts
commit 54c4ea8f3ae614054079395842128a856a73dbf9
Author: Zhao Liu <zhao1.liu@intel.com>
Date: Sat Mar 9 00:01:37 2024 +0800
hw/core/machine-smp: Deprecate unsupported "parameter=1" SMP configurations
but is not done as a 'git revert' since the part of the changes to the
file hw/core/machine-smp.c which add 'has_XXX' checks remain desirable.
Furthermore, we have to tweak the subsequently added unit test to
account for differing warning message.
The rationale for the original deprecation was:
"Currently, it was allowed for users to specify the unsupported
topology parameter as "1". For example, x86 PC machine doesn't
support drawer/book/cluster topology levels, but user could specify
"-smp drawers=1,books=1,clusters=1".
This is meaningless and confusing, so that the support for this kind
of configurations is marked deprecated since 9.0."
There are varying POVs on the topic of 'unsupported' topology levels.
It is common to say that on a system without hyperthreading, that there
is always 1 thread. Likewise when new CPUs introduced a concept of
multiple "dies', it was reasonable to say that all historical CPUs
before that implicitly had 1 'die'. Likewise for the more recently
introduced 'modules' and 'clusters' parameter'. From this POV, it is
valid to set 'parameter=1' on the -smp command line for any machine,
only a value > 1 is strictly an error condition.
It doesn't cause any functional difficulty for QEMU, because internally
the QEMU code is itself assuming that all "unsupported" parameters
implicitly have a value of '1'.
At the libvirt level, we've allowed applications to set 'parameter=1'
when configuring a guest, and pass that through to QEMU.
Deprecating this creates extra difficulty for because there's no info
exposed from QEMU about which machine types "support" which parameters.
Thus, libvirt can't know whether it is valid to pass 'parameter=1' for
a given machine type, or whether it will trigger deprecation messages.
Since there's no apparent functional benefit to deleting this deprecated
behaviour from QEMU, and it creates problems for consumers of QEMU,
remove this deprecation.

In x86, module is the topology level above core, which contains a set
of cores that share certain resources (in current products, the resource
usually includes L2 cache, as well as module scoped features and MSRs).
Though smp.clusters could also share the L2 cache resource [1], there
are following reasons that drive us to introduce the new smp.modules:
* As the CPU topology abstraction in device tree [2], cluster supports
nesting (though currently QEMU hasn't support that). In contrast,
(x86) module does not support nesting.
* Due to nesting, there is great flexibility in sharing resources
on cluster, rather than narrowing cluster down to sharing L2 (and
L3 tags) as the lowest topology level that contains cores.
* Flexible nesting of cluster allows it to correspond to any level
between the x86 package and core.
* In Linux kernel, x86's cluster only represents the L2 cache domain
but QEMU's smp.clusters is the CPU topology level. Linux kernel will
also expose module level topology information in sysfs for x86. To
avoid cluster ambiguity and keep a consistent CPU topology naming
style with the Linux kernel, we introduce module level for x86.
The module is, in existing hardware practice, the lowest layer that
contains the core, while the cluster is able to have a higher
topological scope than the module due to its nesting.
Therefore, place the module between the cluster and the core:
drawer/book/socket/die/cluster/module/core/thread
With the above topological hierarchy order, introduce module level
support in MachineState and MachineClass.

This is meaningless and confusing, so that the support for this kind of

message for such case like:
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid):
Unsupported clusters parameter mustn't be specified as 1
qemu-system-x86_64: warning: Deprecated CPU topology (considered invalid):
Unsupported books parameter mustn't be specified as 1

are supported by the target machine.

S390 adds two new SMP levels, drawers and books to the CPU
topology.
S390 CPUs have specific topology features like dedication and
entitlement. These indicate to the guest information on host
vCPU scheduling and help the guest make better scheduling decisions.
Add the new levels to the relevant QAPI structs.
Add all the supported topology levels, dedication and entitlement
as properties to S390 CPUs.
Create machine-common.json so we can later include it in
machine-target.json also.

Currently we'll always generate a cluster node no matter user has
specified '-smp clusters=X' or not. Cluster is an optional level
and will participant the building of Linux scheduling domains and
only appears on a few platforms. It's unncessary to always build
it when it cannot reflect the real topology on platforms having no
cluster implementation and to avoid affecting the linux scheduling
domains in the VM. So only generate the cluster topology in ACPI
PPTT when the user has specified it explicitly in -smp.
Tested qemu-system-aarch64 with `-smp 8` and linux 6.1-rc1, without
this patch:
estuary:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology$ cat cluster_*

estuary:/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu0/topology$ cat cluster_*

The new Cluster-Aware Scheduling support has landed in Linux 5.16,
which has been proved to benefit the scheduling performance (e.g.
load balance and wake_affine strategy) on both x86_64 and AArch64.
So now in Linux 5.16 we have four-level arch-neutral CPU topology
definition like below and a new scheduler level for clusters.
struct cpu_topology {
int thread_id;
int core_id;
int cluster_id;
int package_id;
int llc_id;
cpumask_t thread_sibling;
cpumask_t core_sibling;
cpumask_t cluster_sibling;
cpumask_t llc_sibling;
}
A cluster generally means a group of CPU cores which share L2 cache
or other mid-level resources, and it is the shared resources that
is used to improve scheduler's behavior. From the point of view of
the size range, it's between CPU die and CPU core. For example, on
some ARM64 Kunpeng servers, we have 6 clusters in each NUMA node,
and 4 CPU cores in each cluster. The 4 CPU cores share a separate
L2 cache and a L3 cache tag, which brings cache affinity advantage.
In virtualization, on the Hosts which have pClusters (physical
clusters), if we can design a vCPU topology with cluster level for
guest kernel and have a dedicated vCPU pinning. A Cluster-Aware
Guest kernel can also make use of the cache affinity of CPU clusters
to gain similar scheduling performance.
This patch adds infrastructure for CPU cluster level topology
configuration and parsing, so that the user can specify cluster
parameter if their machines support it.
