Hi,

Thanks for taking a look at this.

ACPI 6.3 adds a flag to the CPU node to indicate whether

Why not bool?

At least for the thread flag we need the three states so that we can fall back to the CPU's description of itself on machines without ACPI 6.3 tables.

The ThunderX2 is threaded and without a firmware update a change like this will break it.

+       int ret = -ENOENT;
+       static int saved_pptt_rev = -1;
+
+       /* Cache the PPTT revision to avoid repeat table get/put on failure */

This is a rather questionable optimization.

Does the extra table get/put really matter?

AFAIK, Probably not.


+       if (saved_pptt_rev > -1 && saved_pptt_rev < rev)
+               return -ENOENT;

It should be fine to return 'false' here, shouldn't it?

See bool, The alternative of course is a dedicated function to export this "error" but I think we want to avoid exporting what is effectively a version check into the reset of the kernel.

+       status = acpi_get_table(ACPI_SIG_PPTT, 0, &table);

+               acpi_pptt_warn_missing();
+               return ret;

And here?

+       }
+
+       saved_pptt_rev = table->revision;
+
+       if (saved_pptt_rev >= rev)
+               cpu_node = acpi_find_processor_node(table, acpi_cpu_id);
+
+       if (cpu_node)
+               ret = (cpu_node->flags & flag) != 0;

And this can be

ret = !!(cpu_node->flags & flag);

Ok, sure.
