The main feature of FORM2 affinity support is the separation of NUMA
distances from ibm,associativity information. This allows for a more
flexible and straightforward NUMA distance assignment without relying on
complex associations between several levels of NUMA via
ibm,associativity matches. Another feature is its extensibility. This base
support contains the facilities for NUMA distance assignment, but in the
future more facilities will be added for latency, performance, bandwidth
and so on.

This patch implements the base FORM2 affinity support as follows:

- the use of FORM2 associativity is indicated by using bit 2 of byte 5
of ibm,architecture-vec-5. A FORM2 aware guest can choose to use FORM1
or FORM2 affinity. Setting both forms will default to FORM2. We're not
advertising FORM2 for pseries-6.1 and older machine versions to prevent
guest visible changes in those;

- call spapr_numa_associativity_reset() in do_client_architecture_support()
if FORM2 is chosen. This will avoid re-initializing FORM1 artifacts that
were already initialized in spapr_machine_reset();

- ibm,associativity-reference-points has a new semantic. Instead of
being used to calculate distances via NUMA levels, it's now used to
indicate the primary domain index in the ibm,associativity domain of
each resource. In our case it's set to {0x4}, matching the position
where we already place logical_domain_id;

Hmm... I'm a bit torn on this.  The whole reason the ibm,associativity
things are arrays rather than just numbers was to enable the FORM1
nonsense. So we have a choice here: keep the associativity arrays in
the same form, for simplicity of the code, or reduce the associativity
arrays to one entry for FORM2, to simplify the overall DT contents in
the "modern" case.

I'm not against making it different from FORM2. I did it this way because
it minimizes the amount of code being changed.

In fact, if we're going to add separated data structures for both FORM1 and
FORM2, might as well start both FORM1 and FORM2 data structures during
machine_init() and then just switch to the chosen affinity after CAS.

Something like a FORM1_assoc_array[N][MAX_DISTANCE_REF_POINTS], that contains
all the initialization already done today and a FORM2_assoc_array[N][2],
where FORM2_assoc_array[node_id] = {1, node_id}, changing reference-points
accordingly of course.

spapr_numa_assoc_array would become a pointer that would point to either
FORM1_assoc_array[][] or FORM2_assoc_array[][] depending on guest choice. I
think this might be enough to make everything we already have just works, 
although
I need to check how much code is dependant on the MAX_DISTANCE_REF_POINTS
macro and adapt it.

If no one opposes I'll go for this approach.


Thanks,


Daniel



- two new RTAS DT artifacts are introduced: ibm,numa-lookup-index-table

This doesn't really have anything to do with RTAS.

and ibm,numa-distance-table. The index table is used to list all the
NUMA logical domains of the platform, in ascending order, and allows for
spartial NUMA configurations (although QEMU ATM doesn't support
that).

s/spartial/partial/

Perhaps more to the point, it allows for sparsely allocated domain
IDs.

ibm,numa-distance-table is an array that contains all the distances from
the first NUMA node to all other nodes, then the second NUMA node
distances to all other nodes and so on;

- spapr_post_load changes: since we're adding a new NUMA affinity that
isn't compatible with the existing one, migration must be handled
accordingly because we can't be certain of whether the guest went
through CAS in the source. The solution chosen is to initiate the NUMA
associativity data in spapr_post_load() unconditionally. The worst case
would be to write the DT twice if the guest is in pre-CAS stage.
Otherwise, we're making sure that a FORM1 guest will have the
spapr->numa_assoc_array initialized with the proper information based on
user distance, something that we're not doing with FORM2.
