Summary
This feature is about allowing CPU hotplug in QEMU.
Owner
- Name: Igor Mammedov
- Email: imammedo@redhat.com
Detailed Summary
It was proposed to use device-add/device-del interface for hot-plugging CPUs instead of using it's own interface. For this to work CPUs should become child of Device and do not require external calls for creating or initializing it.
Roadmap for QEMU 1.3
Dependencies and ToDo-s
- CPU clean-ups. Move CPU internals inside CPU object
- move tcg init code CPU. commits d65e98, 84e3b60, eeec69d, 130a038
- move CPU reset from board level into CPU. commits 65dee3805, dd673288
- move APIC creation/initialization into CPU object. commit [ bdeec8021]
- CPU as Device [commit: 961f839]
- necessary for converting "CPUID features" into static properties
- allows to use device_add command after CPU subclasses is implemented.
- QOM realize, device-only
- http://permalink.gmane.org/gmane.comp.emulators.qemu/187533
- convert CPUs realizefn() to use DeviceRealize
- CPUID features to properties
- ability to set/get features using common FEAT_FOO=VAL property interfaces
- needed for conversion from CPU models to CPU subclasses.
- CPU models as CPU subclasses
- should provide complete QOM object interface to CPU subclasses.
- gives ability to create/initialize CPUs using CPU subclass name without any ad-hoc calls.
