arm/arm64: KVM: Remove 'config KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS'
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
This patch removes config option of KVM_ARM_MAX_VCPUS,
and like other ARCHs, just choose the maximum allowed
value from hardware, and follows the reasons:

1) from distribution view, the option has to be
defined as the max allowed value because it need to
meet all kinds of virtulization applications and
need to support most of SoCs;

2) using a bigger value doesn't introduce extra memory
consumption, and the help text in Kconfig isn't accurate
because kvm_vpu structure isn't allocated until request
of creating VCPU is sent from QEMU;

3) the main effect is that the field of vcpus[] in 'struct kvm'
becomes a bit bigger(sizeof(void *) per vcpu) and need more cache
lines to hold the structure, but 'struct kvm' is one generic struct,
and it has worked well on other ARCHs already in this way. Also,
the world switch frequecy is often low, for example, it is ~2000
when running kernel building load in VM from APM xgene KVM host,
so the effect is very small, and the difference can't be observed
in my test at all.

If you choose a high number, the vcpu structures will be quite
large, so only choose a reasonable number that you expect to
actually use.
