ppc: Enable starting of Qemu VMs on ppc host
Due to differences in /proc/cpuinfo the parsing of the cpu data is different between architectures. On PPC /proc/cpuinfo looks like this: [original formatting with tabs] processor : 0 cpu : PPC970MP, altivec supported clock : 2297.700000MHz revision : 1.1 (pvr 0044 0101) processor : 1 cpu : PPC970MP, altivec supported clock : 2297.700000MHz revision : 1.1 (pvr 0044 0101) [..] timebase : 14318000 platform : pSeries model : IBM,8844-AC1 machine : CHRP IBM,8844-AC1 The patch adapts the parsing of the data found in /proc/cpuinfo. /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuX/topology/physical_package_id also always returns -1. Check for it on ppc and make it '0' if found negative.
LibVirt : simple API for virtualization Libvirt is a C toolkit to interact with the virtualization capabilities of recent versions of Linux (and other OSes). It is free software available under the GNU Lesser General Public License. Virtualization of the Linux Operating System means the ability to run multiple instances of Operating Systems concurrently on a single hardware system where the basic resources are driven by a Linux instance. The library aim at providing long term stable C API initially for the Xen paravirtualization but should be able to integrate other virtualization mechanisms if needed. Daniel Veillard <veillard@redhat.com>
Description
Libvirt provides a portable, long term stable C API for managing the
virtualization technologies provided by many operating systems. It
includes support for QEMU, KVM, Xen, LXC, bhyve, Virtuozzo, VMware
vCenter and ESX, VMware Desktop, Hyper-V, VirtualBox and the POWER
Hypervisor.
