[PATCH 0/5] Building PPTT with root node and identical implementation flag
Posted by Yicong Yang via 3 weeks, 5 days ago
From: Yicong Yang <yangyicong@hisilicon.com>

OS like Linux is using PPTT processor node's identical implementation
flag [1] to infer whether the whole system or a certain CPU cluster is
homogeneous or not [2]. QEMU currently only support building homogeneous
system, set the flag to indicate the fact. Build a root node in PPTT
for indicates the identical implementation which is needed for a
multi-socket system. Update the related PPTT tables as well.

Since we'll update the test PPTT table data, upgrade the revision of PPTT
we build to revision 3 by handy.

[1] ACPI 6.5 Table 5.158: Processor Structure Flags
[2] https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/tree/drivers/acpi/pptt.c?h=v6.11-rc1#n810

Yicong Yang (5):
  tests: virt: Allow changes to PPTT test table
  hw/acpi/aml-build: Set identical implementation flag for PPTT
    processor nodes
  hw/acpi/aml-build: Build a root node in the PPTT table
  hw/acpi/aml-build: Update the revision of PPTT table
  tests: virt: Update expected ACPI tables for virt test

Maybe some ASCII art makes sense?  Mine you it's pretty simple conceptually
so perhaps not worth bothering.

Patches look good to me.

Ali, probably sensible to rebase your series on top of this if you
haven't already.
