numa: add '-numa cpu,...' option for property based node mapping
legacy cpu to node mapping is using cpu index values to map VCPU to node with help of '-numa node,nodeid=node,cpus=x[-y]' option. However cpu index is internal concept and QEMU users have to guess /reimplement qemu's logic/ to map it to a concrete cpu socket/core/thread to make sane CPUs placement across numa nodes. This patch allows to map cpu objects to numa nodes using the same properties as used for cpus with -device/device_add (socket-id/core-id/thread-id/node-id). At present valid properties/values to address CPUs could be fetched using hotpluggable-cpus monitor/qmp command, it will require user to start qemu twice when creating domain to fetch possible CPUs for a machine type/-smp layout first and then the second time with numa explicit mapping for actual usage. The first step results could be saved and reused to set/change mapping later as far as machine type/-smp stays the same. Proposed impl. supports exact and wildcard matching to simplify CLI and allow to set mapping for a specific cpu or group of cpu objects specified by matched properties. For example: # exact mapping x86 -numa cpu,node-id=x,socket-id=y,core-id=z,thread-id=n # exact mapping SPAPR -numa cpu,node-id=x,core-id=y # wildcard mapping, all cpu objects that match socket-id=y # are mapped to node-id=x -numa cpu,node-id=x,socket-id=y Signed-off-by: Igor Mammedov <imammedo@redhat.com> Message-Id: <1494415802-227633-18-git-send-email-imammedo@redhat.com> Reviewed-by: David Gibson <david@gibson.dropbear.id.au> Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <ehabkost@redhat.com>

+@samp{cpu} option is a new alternative to @samp{cpus} option
+which uses @samp{socket-id|core-id|thread-id} properties to assign
+CPU objects to a @var{node} using topology layout properties of CPU.
+The set of properties is machine specific, and depends on used
+machine type/@samp{smp} options. It could be queried with
+@samp{hotpluggable-cpus} monitor command.
+@samp{node-id} property specifies @var{node} to which CPU object
