From 2ed4f9dd19c0f76f7fb56c4b201696d29149325c Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Paul Mackerras Date: Wed, 21 Jun 2017 16:01:27 +1000 Subject: KVM: PPC: Book3S HV: Add capability to report possible virtual SMT modes Now that userspace can set the virtual SMT mode by enabling the KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT capability, it is useful for userspace to be able to query the set of possible virtual SMT modes. This provides a new capability, KVM_CAP_PPC_SMT_POSSIBLE, to provide this information. The return value is a bitmap of possible modes, with bit N set if virtual SMT mode 2^N is available. That is, 1 indicates SMT1 is available, 2 indicates that SMT2 is available, 3 indicates that both SMT1 and SMT2 are available, and so on.
