Hi Rafael,
Thanks for previous comments and suggestions.
I added the acpi_lapic in ia64. However I didn't find ia64 machine to
test it. Could you or anyone please help test this 2 patches?
I don't know how to test UP system running SMP kernel with no LAPIC in
MADT when it's ia64 arch.
Test steps for ia64 kdump:
1) get a multi-cpus ia64 machine, build a upstream kernel with SMP and
ACPI
2)install kexec-tools, and edit /etc/sysconfig/kdump to make sure
"nr_cpus=1" is in KDUMP_COMMANDLINE_APPEND. Then load the kdump kernel
by below command:
"kdumpctl restart" or "systemctl restart kdump"
3) After kdump kernel loaded, execute below shell command. This can make
crash happen in 2nd cpu.
taskset -c 1 sh -c "echo c >/proc/sysrq-trigger"
4) From console, below error message should not be printed any more. And
the cpu related to 2nd lapid is present, this can be checked by console
message and adding debugging code.
"acpi LNXCPU:0a: BIOS reported wrong ACPI id 0 for the processor."
--------
For x86_64, the UP test is taken by adding "disableapic nr_cpus=1" into
cmdline of grub. The test for kdump is the same as above ia64.
Thanks
