    powerpc/pseries: Add support for hash table resizing · dbcf929c
    David Gibson 提交于
    This adds support for using two hypercalls to change the size of the
    main hash page table while running as a PAPR guest. For now these
    hypercalls are only in experimental qemu versions.
    
    The interface is two part: first H_RESIZE_HPT_PREPARE is used to
    allocate and prepare the new hash table. This may be slow, but can be
    done asynchronously. Then, H_RESIZE_HPT_COMMIT is used to switch to the
    new hash table. This requires that no CPUs be concurrently updating the
    HPT, and so must be run under stop_machine().
    
    This also adds a debugfs file which can be used to manually control
    HPT resizing or testing purposes.
