The following Linux kernel change broke CPU hotplug for MADT revision
less than 5.
e2869bd7af60 ("x86/acpi/boot: Do not register processors that cannot be onlined for x2APIC")
Discussion on this topic can be located here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/20230327191026.3454-1-eric.devolder@oracle.com/T/#t
which resulted in the following fixes Linux in 6.3-rc5:
a74fabfbd1b7: ("x86/ACPI/boot: Use FADT version to check support for online capable")
fed8d8773b8e: ("x86/acpi/boot: Correct acpi_is_processor_usable() check")
However, as part of the investigation into resolving this breakage, I
learned that i386 QEMU reports revision 1, while technically it
generates revision 3. Aarch64 generates and reports revision 4.
ACPI 6.3 bumps MADT revision to 5 as it introduces an Online Capable
flag that the above Linux patch utilizes to denote hot pluggable CPUs.
So in order to bump MADT to the current revision of 5, need to
validate that all MADT table changes between 1 and 5 are present
in QEMU.
Below is a table summarizing the changes to the MADT. This information
gleamed from the ACPI specs on uefi.org.
ACPI MADT What
Version Version
1.0 MADT not present
2.0 1 Section 5.2.10.4
3.0 2 Section 5.2.11.4
5.2.11.13 Local SAPIC Structure added two new fields:
ACPI Processor UID Value
ACPI Processor UID String
5.2.10.14 Platform Interrupt Sources Structure:
Reserved changed to Platform Interrupt Sources Flags
3.0b 2 Section 5.2.11.4
Added a section describing guidelines for the ordering of
processors in the MADT to support proper boot processor
and multi-threaded logical processor operation.
4.0 3 Section 5.2.12
Adds Processor Local x2APIC structure type 9
Adds Local x2APIC NMI structure type 0xA
5.0 3 Section 5.2.12
6.0 3 Section 5.2.12
6.0a 4 Section 5.2.12
Adds ARM GIC structure types 0xB-0xF
6.2a 45 Section 5.2.12 <--- version 45, is indeed accurate!
6.2b 5 Section 5.2.12
GIC ITS last Reserved offset changed to 16 from 20 (typo)
6.3 5 Section 5.2.12
Adds Local APIC Flags Online Capable!
Adds GICC SPE Overflow Interrupt field
6.4 5 Section 5.2.12
Adds Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure type 0x10
(change notes says structure previously misplaced?)
6.5 5 Section 5.2.12
For the MADT revision change 1 -> 2, the spec has a change to the
SAPIC structure. In general, QEMU does not generate/support SAPIC.
So the QEMU i386 MADT revision can safely be moved to 2.
For the MADT revision change 2 -> 3, the spec adds Local x2APIC
structures. QEMU has long supported x2apic ACPI structures. A simple
search of x2apic within QEMU source and hw/i386/acpi-common.c
specifically reveals this. So the QEMU i386 MADT revision can safely
be moved to 3.
For the MADT revision change 3 -> 4, the spec adds support for the ARM
GIC structures. QEMU ARM does in fact generate and report revision 4.
As these will not be used by i386 QEMU, so then the QEMU i386 MADT
revision can safely be moved to 4 as well.
Now for the MADT revision change 4 -> 5, the spec adds the Online
Capable flag to the Local APIC structure, and the ARM GICC SPE
Overflow Interrupt field.
For i386, the ARM SPE is not applicable.
For the i386 Local APIC flag Online Capable, the spec has certain rules
about this value. And in particuar setting this value now explicitly
indicates a hotpluggable CPU.
So this patch makes the needed changes to move i386 MADT to
revision 5.
Without these changes, the information below shows "how" CPU hotplug
breaks with the current upstream Linux kernel 6.3. For example, a Linux
guest started with:
qemu-system-x86_64 -smp 30,maxcpus=32 ...
and then attempting to hotplug a CPU:
(QEMU) device_add id=cpu30 driver=host-x86_64-cpu socket-id=0 core-id=30 thread-id=0
fails with the following:
APIC: NR_CPUS/possible_cpus limit of 30 reached. Processor 30/0x.
ACPI: Unable to map lapic to logical cpu number
acpi LNXCPU:1e: Enumeration failure
# dmesg | grep smpboot

The (latest upstream) Linux kernel sees 30 Enabled processors, and
does not consider processors 31 and 32 to be hotpluggable.
With this patch series applied, by bumping MADT to revision 5, the
latest upstream Linux kernel correctly identifies 30 CPUs plus 2
hotpluggable CPUS.

In terms of testing older operating systems, I did:
- Windows Server 2008.
By opening Device Manager -> Processors, and watching/counting
the listed CPUs before and after hot un/plug operations.
When hot plugging a CPU, the new processor shows in the list;
one more processor is available after the hotplug.
When hot unplugging a CPU, Windows refuses, with the message:
The 'Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU D-1533 @ 2.10GHz' device is not
removable and cannot be ejected or unplugged.
This is expected as hot unplug did not work in Windows 2008.
- RHEL 6.9

Linux v6.3 has the fix merged (so crisis averted 8).
The investigation allowed me to opportunistically provide this patch.
I think this should receive serious consideration for merging,
more so because generating MADT .revision 3 and reporting .revision 1
seems wrong to me.
This patch seems really straight forward, and low risk, now.

qemu cpu hotplug works with upstream kernel ( >= v6.3) but only because the
kernel fix allows the legacy fallback assumption that the non Enabled
cpus specified in MADT are online capable.
with this patch applied to qemu, the kernel honors the Online Capable bit
for cpus not Enabled at boot.

It's a way much simpler to bump revision to 3 without introducing
OnlineCapable handling. So if you post rev3 patch, I'll gladly
ack it.

Kernel should be able to handle MADT revisions below 5 correctly as well,
so frankly speaking it's a kernel regression that's been fixed.
(affected distros should pull in your kernel patch[es] if
they are interested in cpu hotplug)
It's great that you dug through all the mess they made in
spec and found/fixed a bug in kernel.
But that doesn't justify complicating QEMU [1] just to make
recently broken kernel work or just because patch is already
written.
And no, all effort you put into figuring it out is not wasted,
since the bug was fixed at the place of regression (kernel)
and all involved have learned from it and grateful to you
fixing it up.

This is not really applicable/interesting to QEMU,
I read this bit in spec as a workaround for hardware vendors
that might simplify their life.
1) But it is useless for QEMU (see my reply in v2 or v1 review thread
with analysis as to why).
So I'd rather avoid adding 'Online Capable bit' to QEMU unless
we have to do so (i.e. we would need MADTr5 for some other feature).

True, but it is in the spec. And not complicated.

Afaik, OnlineCapable is the only feature added in .revision 5 (other than
that ARM feature).
