Re: [Qemu-ppc] [Qemu-devel] [PATCH for-2.10 2/5] pseries: Implement HPT resizing

This patch implements hypercalls allowing a PAPR guest to resize its own
hash page table.  This will eventually allow for more flexible memory
hotplug.

The implementation is partially asynchronous, handled in a special thread
running the hpt_prepare_thread() function.  The state of a pending resize
is stored in SPAPR_MACHINE->pending_hpt.

The H_RESIZE_HPT_PREPARE hypercall will kick off creation of a new HPT, or,
if one is already in progress, monitor it for completion.  If there is an
existing HPT resize in progress that doesn't match the size specified in
the call, it will cancel it, replacing it with a new one matching the
given size.

The H_RESIZE_HPT_COMMIT completes transition to a resized HPT, and can only
be called successfully once H_RESIZE_HPT_PREPARE has successfully
completed initialization of a new HPT.  The guest must ensure that there
are no concurrent accesses to the existing HPT while this is called (this
effectively means stop_machine() for Linux guests).

For now H_RESIZE_HPT_COMMIT goes through the whole old HPT, rehashing each
HPTE into the new HPT.  This can have quite high latency, but it seems to
be of the order of typical migration downtime latencies for HPTs of size
up to ~2GiB (which would be used in a 256GiB guest).

In future we probably want to move more of the rehashing to the "prepare"
phase, by having H_ENTER and other hcalls update both current and
pending HPTs.  That's a project for another day, but should be possible
without any changes to the guest interface.

You could use the existing API pc_existing_dimms_capacity() for the above.
