[PATCH v2 2/6] x86/kvm: add boot parameter for adding vcpu-id bits

From: Juergen Gross
Date: Fri Sep 03 2021 - 09:08:39 EST


Today the maximum vcpu-id of a kvm guest's vcpu on x86 systems is set
via a #define in a header file.

In order to support higher vcpu-ids without generally increasing the
memory consumption of guests on the host (some guest structures contain
arrays sized by KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID) add a boot parameter for adding some
bits to the vcpu-id. Additional bits are needed as the vcpu-id is
constructed via bit-wise concatenation of socket-id, core-id, etc.
As those ids maximum values are not always a power of 2, the vcpu-ids
are sparse.

The additional number of bits needed is basically the number of
topology levels with a non-power-of-2 maximum value, excluding the top
most level.

The default value of the new parameter will be to take the correct
setting from the host's topology.

Calculating the maximum vcpu-id dynamically requires to allocate the
arrays using KVM_MAX_VCPU_ID as the size dynamically.
