[RFC PATCH] x86/acpi: Ignore invalid x2APIC entries

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Currently, kernel enumerates the possible CPUs by parsing both ACPI MADT
Local APIC entries and x2APIC entries. So CPUs with "valid" APIC IDs,
even if they have duplicated APIC IDs in Local APIC and x2APIC, are
always enumerated.

Below is what ACPI MADT Local APIC and x2APIC describes on an
Ivebridge-EP system,

[02Ch 0044   1]                Subtable Type : 00 [Processor Local APIC]
[02Fh 0047   1]                Local Apic ID : 00
...
[164h 0356   1]                Subtable Type : 00 [Processor Local APIC]
[167h 0359   1]                Local Apic ID : 39
[16Ch 0364   1]                Subtable Type : 00 [Processor Local APIC]
[16Fh 0367   1]                Local Apic ID : FF
...
[3ECh 1004   1]                Subtable Type : 09 [Processor Local x2APIC]
[3F0h 1008   4]                Processor x2Apic ID : 00000000
...
[B5Ch 2908   1]                Subtable Type : 09 [Processor Local x2APIC]
[B60h 2912   4]                Processor x2Apic ID : 00000077

As a result, kernel shows "smpboot: Allowing 168 CPUs, 120 hotplug CPUs".
And this wastes significant amount of memory for the per-cpu data.
Plus this also breaks https://lore.kernel.org/all/87edm36qqb.ffs@tglx/,
because __max_logical_packages is over-estimated by the APIC IDs in
the x2APIC entries.

According to https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/05_ACPI_Software_Programming_Model.html#processor-local-x2apic-structure,
"[Compatibility note] On some legacy OSes, Logical processors with APIC
ID values less than 255 (whether in XAPIC or X2APIC mode) must use the
Processor Local APIC structure to convey their APIC information to OSPM,
and those processors must be declared in the DSDT using the Processor()
keyword. Logical processors with APIC ID values 255 and greater must use
the Processor Local x2APIC structure and be declared using the Device()
keyword.".

Enumerate CPUs from x2APIC enties with APIC ID values 255 or greater,
when valid CPU from Local APIC is already detected.

I didn't find any clear statement in the ACPI spec about if a mixture of
Local APIC and x2APIC entries is allowed or not. So it would be great if
this can be clarified.

And FYI, I have auditted a series of Intel servers, and one IVB-EP in
LKP lab and one IVB-EP from PeterZ are the only ones with a mixture of
Local APIC entries + x2APIC entries.

Plat    Status
IVB-EP  valid LAPIC + invalid LAPIC (APIC ID 0xFF) + unknown x2APIC entries (valid APIC ID + Enable bit cleared)
IVB-EP  valid LAPIC + invalid LAPIC (APIC ID 0xFF) + unknown x2APIC entries (valid APIC ID + Enable bit cleared)
CLX     valid LAPIC + invalid LAPIC (APIC ID 0xFF) + invalid x2APIC entries (APIC ID 0xFFFFFFFF)
CLX     valid LAPIC + invalid LAPIC (APIC ID 0xFF) + invalid x2APIC entries (APIC ID 0xFFFFFFFF)
ICX     valid LAPIC only
SPR     valid LAPIC only
SPR     valid x2APIC only
