[PATCH] hw/loongarch: Fix ACPI processor id off-by-one error
Posted by Jiajie Chen 8 months, 1 week ago 
In hw/acpi/aml-build.c:build_pptt() function, the code assumes that the
ACPI processor id equals to the cpu index, for example if we have 8
cpus, then the ACPI processor id should be in range 0-7.

However, in hw/loongarch/acpi-build.c:build_madt() function we broke the
assumption. If we have 8 cpus again, the ACPI processor id in MADT table
would be in range 1-8. It violates the following description taken from
ACPI spec 6.4 table 5.138:

If the processor structure represents an actual processor, this field
must match the value of ACPI processor ID field in the processor’s entry
in the MADT.

It will break the latest Linux 6.5-rc6 with the
following error message:

ACPI PPTT: PPTT table found, but unable to locate core 7 (8)
Invalid BIOS PPTT

Here 7 is the last cpu index, 8 is the ACPI processor id learned from
MADT.

With this patch, Linux can properly detect SMT threads when "-smp
8,sockets=1,cores=4,threads=2" is passed:

Thread(s) per core:  2
Core(s) per socket:  2
Socket(s):           2

The detection of number of sockets is still wrong, but that is out of
scope of the commit.

Good catch.

In theory, it is logical id, and it can be not equal to physical id.
However it must be equal to _UID in cpu dsdt table which is missing
now.

Can pptt table parse error be fixed if cpu dsdt table is added?

Yes, the logical id can be different from index. The spec says:

If the processor structure represents an actual processor, this field 
must match the value of ACPI processor ID field in the processor’s entry 
in the MADT. If the processor structure represents a group of associated 
processors, the structure might match a processor container in the name 
space. In that case this entry will match the value of the _UID method 
of the associated processor container. Where there is a match it must be 
represented. The flags field, described in/Processor Structure Flags/, 
includes a bit to describe whether the ACPI processor ID is valid.

I believe PPTT, MADT and DSDT should all adhere to the same logical id 
mapping.

yes, you are right and I had a mistake.

Logical id in MADT/DSDT/PPTT should be the same, there is physical id
associated with arch_ids->cpus[i].arch_id already. 

And get_arch_id for cpuclass to get physical id and DSDT table are missing
about LoongArch platform, however it is another issue.

yes, if logical id is set the same with physical id, it can solve the problem
and also it may hide the potential problem about qemu/kernel etc. So I prefer
to different methods only if it comply the spec, so that we can find the issue
and solve it in early stage.
