From: James Morse <james.morse@xxxxxxx> ACPI has two ways of describing processors in the DSDT. From ACPI v6.5, 5.2.12: "Starting with ACPI Specification 6.3, the use of the Processor() object was deprecated. Only legacy systems should continue with this usage. On the Itanium architecture only, a _UID is provided for the Processor() that is a string object. This usage of _UID is also deprecated since it can preclude an OSPM from being able to match a processor to a non-enumerable device, such as those defined in the MADT. From ACPI Specification 6.3 onward, all processor objects for all architectures except Itanium must now use Device() objects with an _HID of ACPI0007, and use only integer _UID values." Also see https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/08_Processor_Configuration_and_Control.html#declaring-processors Duplicate descriptions are not allowed, the ACPI processor driver already parses the UID from both devices and containers. acpi_processor_get_info() returns an error if the UID exists twice in the DSDT. The missing probe for CPUs described as packages creates a problem for moving the cpu_register() calls into the acpi_processor driver, as CPUs described like this don't get registered, leading to errors from other subsystems when they try to add new sysfs entries to the CPU node. (e.g. topology_sysfs_init()'s use of topology_add_dev() via cpuhp) To fix this, parse the processor container and call acpi_processor_add() for each processor that is discovered like this. The processor container handler is added with acpi_scan_add_handler(), so no detach call will arrive. Qemu TCG describes CPUs using processor devices in a processor container.
