The last time I looked at it, virt machine needed quite a bit of re-factoring of the way it creates/wires up CPUs. Pls see usage of following callbacks for example on how to implement device_add based cpu hotplug: get_hotplug_handler pc_cpu_pre_plug pc_cpu_plug pc_possible_cpu_arch_ids and pc_cpus_init() for initial cpu creation with above callbacks in use > > Currently, when KVM is enabled and add a CPU with QMP command, QEMU > reports error "kvm_init_vcpu failed: Device or resourc busy".

It needs to change KVM code in the future. if KVM isn't capable do it yet, then qemu should refuse cpu hotplug if running with KVM accelarator and allow it only in TCG mode. > > Li Zhang (3): > arm/virt: Refine fdt_add_cpu_nodes code > arm/virt: Refine code of machvirt_init > arm/virt: Implement hot_add_cpu interface > > hw/arm/virt.c | 344 > ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++------------------------ > 1 file changed, 202 insertions(+), 142 deletions(-) >
