对KVM虚拟机进行cpu pinning配置的方法
首先需求了解基本的信息
1 宿主机CPU特性查看
使用virsh nodeinfo可以看到一些基本信息
CPU model: x86_64
CPU(s): 32
CPU frequency: 1200 MHz
CPU socket(s): 1
Core(s) per socket: 8
Thread(s) per core: 2
NUMA cell(s): 2
Memory size: 132119080 KiB
使用virsh capabilities可以查看物理机CPU的详细信息，包括物理CPU个数，每个CPU的核数，是否开了超线程。

使用virsh freecell命令查看可以当前空闲内存
virsh freecell --all
0: 787288 KiB
1: 94192 KiB
--------------------
Total: 881480 KiB
物理CPU的特性也可以通过/proc/cpuinfo查看
cat /proc/cpuinfo
rocessor : 0
vendor_id : GenuineIntel
cpu family : 6
model : 62
model name : Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2640 v2 @ 2.00GHz

cpu MHz : 1200.000
cache size : 20480 KB
physical id : 0
siblings : 16
core id : 0
cpu cores : 8

initial apicid : 0
fpu : yes
fpu_exception : yes
cpuid level : 13
wp : yes

bogomips : 3990.67
clflush size : 64
cache_alignment : 64

...
综合上面的信息，我们可以得出以下信息：
1) 物理CPU为 E5-2640V2，为8核2颗，开启了超线程，在物理机系统上可以看到32个CPU；
2) 物理机内存为128G
2 虚拟机CPU使用情况查看
可以使用virsh vcpuinfo命令查看虚拟机vcpu和物理CPU的对应关系
VCPU: 0
CPU: 25
State: running
CPU time: 10393.0s
CPU Affinity: --------yyyyyyyy--------yyyyyyyy
VCPU: 1
CPU: 8
State: running
CPU time: 7221.2s
CPU Affinity: --------yyyyyyyy--------yyyyyyyy
...
可以看到vcpu0被调度到物理机CPU25上，目前是使用状态，使用时间是10393.0s
CPU Affinity: --------yyyyyyyy--------yyyyyyyy
yyyyyyy表示可以使用的物理CPU内部的逻辑核，可以看到这台虚拟机可以在8-15， 24-31这些cpu之间调度，为什么不能使用0-7，16-23这些CPU呢，是因为系统的自动numa平衡服务在发生作用，一个虚拟机默认只能使用同一颗物理CPU内部的逻辑核。
使用emulatorpin可以查看虚拟机可以使用那些物理逻辑CPU
emulator: CPU Affinity
----------------------------------
*: 0-31
可以看到0-31我们都可以使用，意味这我们也可以强制将CPU调度到任何CPU上。
3 在线pinning虚拟机的cpu
强制让虚拟机只能在26-31这些cpu之间调度
virsh emulatorpin 21 26-31 --live
查看结果
emulator: CPU Affinity
----------------------------------
*: 26-31
查看vcpu info
virsh vcpuinfo 21
VCPU: 0
CPU: 28
State: running
CPU time: 10510.5s
CPU Affinity: --------------------------yyyyyy
VCPU: 1
CPU: 28
State: running
CPU time: 7289.7s
CPU Affinity: --------------------------yyyyyy
...</p> <p>
查看xml文件
virsh # dumpxml 21
<domain type='kvm' id='21'>
<name>cacti-230</name>
<uuid>23a6455c-5cd1-20cd-ecfe-2ba89be72c41</uuid>
<memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory>
<vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu>
<cputune>
<emulatorpin cpuset='26-31'/>
</cputune>
我们也可以强制vcpu和物理机cpu一对一的绑定
强制vcpu 0和物理机cpu 28绑定
强制vcpu 1和物理机cpu 29绑定
强制vcpu 2和物理机cpu 30绑定
强制vcpu 3和物理机cpu 31绑定
virsh vcpupin 21 0 28
virsh vcpupin 21 1 29
virsh vcpupin 21 2 30
virsh vcpupin 21 3 31
查看xml文件，生效了
virsh # dumpxml 21
<domain type='kvm' id='21'>
<name>cacti-230</name>
<uuid>23a6455c-5cd1-20cd-ecfe-2ba89be72c41</uuid>
<memory unit='KiB'>4194304</memory>
<currentMemory unit='KiB'>4194304</currentMemory>
<vcpu placement='static'>4</vcpu>
<cputune>
<vcpupin vcpu='0' cpuset='28'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='1' cpuset='29'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='2' cpuset='30'/>
<vcpupin vcpu='3' cpuset='31'/>
<emulatorpin cpuset='26-31'/>
</cputune>
是vcpuino命令查看，可以看到配置生效了
virsh vcpuinfo 22
VCPU: 0
CPU: 28
State: running
CPU time: 1.8s
CPU Affinity: ----------------------------y---
VCPU: 1
CPU: 29
State: running
CPU time: 0.0s
CPU Affinity: -----------------------------y--
