[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] s390: Allow hotplug of s390 CPUs


From: Matthew Rosato
Subject: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] s390: Allow hotplug of s390 CPUs
Date: Mon, 9 Nov 2015 10:17:36 -0500

The following patchset enables hotplug of s390 CPUs.

The standard interface is used -- to configure a guest with 2 CPUs online at 
boot and 4 maximum:

qemu -smp 2,maxcpus=4

Or, when using libvirt:
  <domain>
    ...
    <vcpu current="2">4</vcpu>
    ...
  </domain> 


To subsequently hotplug a CPU:

Issue 'cpu-add <id>' from qemu monitor, or use virsh setvcpus --count <n> 
<domain>, where <n> is the total number of desired guest CPUs.

At this point, the guest must bring the CPU online for use -- This can be 
achieved via "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/online" or via a management 
tool like cpuplugd.

This patch set is based on work previously done by Jason Herne.

Matthew Rosato (4):
  s390x/cpu: Cleanup init in preparation for hotplug
  s390x/cpu: Set initial CPU state in common routine
  s390x/cpu: Add function to set CPU state
  s390x/cpu: Allow hotplug of CPUs
