[PATCH v2] LoongArch: Correct the calculation logic of thread_count
Posted by Qiang Ma 4 days, 18 hours ago
For thread_count, the current calculation method has a maximum of 255,
which may not be sufficient in the future. Therefore, we are correcting
it now.

According SPEC, it uses THREAD_COUNT_2 only if dm->length >= 30 and
thread_count == 0xff, so the correct and simplest way is like this:

        cpu_clock_freq = freq_temp * 1000000;

        loongson_sysconf.cpuname = (void *)dmi_string_parse(dm, dmi_data[16]);
-       loongson_sysconf.cores_per_package = *(dmi_data +
SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_OFFSET);
+       if (dm->length < 0x30)
+               thread_count = *(u8 *)(dmi_data + SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_OFFSET);
+       else if (thread_count == 0xff)
+               thread_count = *(u16 *)(dmi_data +
SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_2_OFFSET);
+       loongson_sysconf.cores_per_package = thread_count;

        pr_info("CpuClock = %llu\n", cpu_clock_freq);

Yes, this one should need to be converted:
thread_count = *(u8 *)(dmi_data + SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_OFFSET);

This patch method refers to dmidecode, which is the same as it, like this:

                         if (data[0x25] != 0)
                                 pr_attr("Thread Count", "%u",
                                         h->length >= 0x30 && data[0x25] 
== 0xFF ?

                                         WORD(data + 0x2E) : data[0x25]);

I feel there is a problem with this method.
I saw on the 3C6000/Q machine a few days ago that the dm->lenght is 0x30,
but only one byte is used, and the thread_count is 128, not 0xFF.
Is the initialization thread_count = *(u8 *)(dmi_data + 
SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_OFFSET) missing?
Wouldn't it be better to change it this way?

+       u8 thread_count;

         freq_temp = ((*(dmi_data + SMBIOS_FREQHIGH_OFFSET) << 8) +
                         ((*(dmi_data + SMBIOS_FREQLOW_OFFSET)) & 
SMBIOS_FREQLOW_MASK));
         cpu_clock_freq = freq_temp * 1000000;

         loongson_sysconf.cpuname = (void *)dmi_string_parse(dm, 
dmi_data[16]);
-       loongson_sysconf.cores_per_package = *(dmi_data + 
SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_OFFSET);
+       thread_count = *(u8 *)(dmi_data + SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_OFFSET);
+       if (thread_count == 0xFF && dm->length >= 0x30)
+               thread_count = *(u16 *)(dmi_data + 
SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_2_OFFSET);
+       loongson_sysconf.cores_per_package = thread_count;

         pr_info("CpuClock = %llu\n", cpu_clock_freq);
  }

Yes, you are right. Kernel code prefers 0xff rather than 0xFF, and I
want to add a comment, so I think the below is OK.
        loongson_sysconf.cores_per_package = *(u8 *)(dmi_data +
SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_OFFSET);
        if (dm->length >= 0x30 && loongson_sysconf.cores_per_package == 0xff) {
                /* SMBIOS 3.0+ has ThreadCount2 for more than 255 threads */
                loongson_sysconf.cores_per_package = *(u16 *)(dmi_data
+ SMBIOS_THREAD_PACKAGE_2_OFFSET);
        }

Yes, I also think it's okay. I will update it to v3.
