util: Add write-only "node-affinity" property for ThreadContext
Let's make it easier to pin threads created via a ThreadContext to all host CPUs currently belonging to a given set of host NUMA nodes -- which is the common case. "node-affinity" is simply a shortcut for setting "cpu-affinity" manually to the list of host CPUs belonging to the set of host nodes. This property can only be written. A simple QEMU example to set the CPU affinity to host node 1 on a system with two nodes, 24 CPUs each, whereby odd-numbered host CPUs belong to host node 1: qemu-system-x86_64 -S \ -object thread-context,id=tc1,node-affinity=1 And we can query the cpu-affinity via HMP/QMP: (qemu) qom-get tc1 cpu-affinity [ 1, 3, 5, 7, 9, 11, 13, 15, 17, 19, 21, 23, 25, 27, 29, 31, 33, 35, 37, 39, 41, 43, 45, 47 ] We cannot query the node-affinity: (qemu) qom-get tc1 node-affinity Error: Insufficient permission to perform this operation But note that due to dynamic library loading this example will not work before we actually make use of thread_context_create_thread() in QEMU code, because the type will otherwise not get registered. We'll wire this up next to make it work. Note that if the host CPUs for a host node change due do CPU hot(un)plug CPU onlining/offlining (i.e., lscpu output changes) after the ThreadContext was started, the CPU affinity will not get updated.
