There is a newer version of this series
[PATCH v10 06/12] tools: add support for cache coloring configuration
Posted by Carlo Nonato 1 month, 1 week ago
Add a new "llc_colors" parameter that defines the LLC color assignment for
a domain. The user can specify one or more color ranges using the same
syntax used everywhere else for color config described in the
documentation.
The parameter is defined as a list of strings that represent the color
ranges.

Documentation is also added.

Based on original work from: Luca Miccio <lucmiccio@gmail.com>

v10:
- no changes
v9:
- turned warning into error in case of coloring not enabled
v8:
- warn the user in case of coloring not supported at hypervisor level
v7:
- removed unneeded NULL check before xc_hypercall_buffer_free() in
  xc_domain_set_llc_colors()
v6:
- no edits
v5:
- added LIBXL_HAVE_BUILDINFO_LLC_COLORS
- moved color configuration in xc_domain_set_llc_colors() cause of the new
  hypercall
v4:
- removed overlapping color ranges checks during parsing
- moved hypercall buffer initialization in libxenctrl

An other thing I've completely forgot, with this IDL changed there will
be a need to regen some other files in the repo, namely:
    tools/golang/xenlight/helpers.gen.go
    tools/golang/xenlight/types.gen.go

Running this following command should be enough, even if you don't have
golang installed.

    make -C tools/golang/xenlight helpers.gen.go types.gen.go

If you send an update of the patch series, it would be nice to include
the regenerated files.

Cheers,

The hypercall seems to take a buffer of `uint32_t` for `llc_colors`, but
the parameter of the function is `unsigned int` instead, is there any
reason for them to be different?

I think we are supposed to return -1 in case of error, see:
    https://elixir.bootlin.com/xen/v4.19.0/source/tools/include/xenctrl.h#L101

And there's nothing else to do, xc_hypercall_buffer_alloc() should
already have set `errno`, and PERROR() preserves it.

I don't remember anymore, but I think it should be uint32_t also for the
parameter.
