The current implementation has a couple of shortcomings: - It fails to handle hybrid systems correctly. - The APIC registration code which handles CPU number assignents is in the middle of the APIC code and detached from the topology evaluation. - The various mechanisms which enumerate APICs, ACPI, MPPARSE and guest specific ones, tweak global variables as they see fit or in case of XENPV just hack around the generic mechanisms completely. - The CPUID topology evaluation code is sprinkled all over the vendor code and reevaluates global variables on every hotplug operation. - There is no way to analyze topology on the boot CPU before bringing up the APs. This causes problems for infrastructure like PERF which needs to size certain aspects upfront or could be simplified if that would be possible. - The APIC admission and CPU number association logic is incomprehensible and overly complex and needs to be kept around after boot instead of completing this right after the APIC enumeration. This update addresses these shortcomings with the following changes: - Rework the CPUID evaluation code so it is common for all vendors and provides information about the APIC ID segments in a uniform way independent of the number of segments (Thread, Core, Module, ..., Die, Package) so that this information can be computed instead of rewriting global variables of dubious value over and over. - A few cleanups and simplifcations of the APIC, IO/APIC and related interfaces to prepare for the topology evaluation changes. - Seperation of the parser stages so the early evaluation which tries to find the APIC address can be seperately overridden from the late evaluation which enumerates and registers the local APIC as further preparation for sanitizing the topology evaluation. - A new registration and admission logic which - encapsulates the inner workings so that parsers and guest logic cannot longer fiddle in it - uses the APIC ID segments to build topology bitmaps at registration time - provides a sane admission logic - allows to detect the crash kernel case, where CPU0 does not run on the real BSP, automatically. This is required to prevent sending INIT/SIPI sequences to the real BSP which would reset the whole machine. This was so far handled by a tedious command line parameter, which does not even work in nested crash scenarios. - Associates CPU number after the enumeration completed and prevents the late registration of APICs, which was somehow tolerated before. - Converting all parsers and guest enumeration mechanisms over to the new interfaces. This allows to get rid of all global variable tweaking from the parsers and enumeration mechanisms and sanitizes the XEN[PV] handling so it can use CPUID evaluation for the first time. - Mopping up existing sins by taking the information from the APIC ID segment bitmaps. This evaluates hybrid systems correctly on the boot CPU and allows for cleanups and fixes in the related drivers, e.g. PERF. The series has been extensively tested and the minimal late fallout due to a broken ACPI/MADT table has been addressed by tightening the admission logic further" * tag 'x86-apic-2024-03-10' of git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/tip/tip: (76 commits) x86/topology: Ignore non-present APIC IDs in a present package x86/apic: Build the x86 topology enumeration functions on UP APIC builds too smp: Provide 'setup_max_cpus' definition on UP too smp: Avoid 'setup_max_cpus' namespace collision/shadowing x86/bugs: Use fixed addressing for VERW operand x86/cpu/topology: Get rid of cpuinfo::x86_max_cores x86/cpu/topology: Provide __num_[cores|threads]_per_package x86/cpu/topology: Rename topology_max_die_per_package() x86/cpu/topology: Rename smp_num_siblings x86/cpu/topology: Retrieve cores per package from topology bitmaps x86/cpu/topology: Use topology logical mapping mechanism x86/cpu/topology: Provide logical pkg/die mapping x86/cpu/topology: Simplify cpu_mark_primary_thread() x86/cpu/topology: Mop up primary thread mask handling x86/cpu/topology: Use topology bitmaps for sizing x86/cpu/topology: Let XEN/PV use topology from CPUID/MADT x86/xen/smp_pv: Count number of vCPUs early x86/cpu/topology: Assign hotpluggable CPUIDs during init x86/cpu/topology: Reject unknown APIC IDs on ACPI hotplug x86/topology: Add a mechanism to track topology via APIC IDs ... --- ca7e917769121195bae45d4886f6e24efd6f99ae diff --cc Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt index 06de88a27900,4b9b4d662e31..8a081ac79808 --- a/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt +++ b/Documentation/admin-guide/kernel-parameters.txt @@@ -1095,16 -1100,7 +1095,7 @@@ Disable TLBIE instruction.
