Hi Roger,

First of all, thanks for doing the grunt work here to clear up the ACPI
situation.

A bit of background, I'm trying to get an AMD APU (CPUID 0x17 (23)) to
work properly
under Xen. It works fine otherwise but something is amiss under Xen.

Just to make sure that the patch is working as intended, what I found
when trying it out
is that the first 8 CPUs have C-States, but 0, 2, 4, 6, 8, 10, 12, 14
have P-States, out of
16 CPUs. Xen tells Linux that there are 8 CPUs since it's running with
nosmt.

Regards
- Josef

Hello,

Sorry for the delay, I've been on paternity leave and just caching up

Hm, that's weird, do you think you could check why it reports the CPU
is unavailable?

Overall I don't like the situation of the ACPI handling when running
as dom0. It's fragile to rely on the data for dom0 CPUs to be
filled by the system (by adding some band aids here and there so that
the PV vCPUs are matched against the MADT objects) and then cloning
the data for any physical CPU exceeding the number of dom0 virtual
CPUs.

IMO it would be much better to just do the handling of ACPI processor
objects in a Xen specific driver (preventing the native driver from
attaching) in order to fetch the data and upload it to Xen. This is
what I've attempted to do on FreeBSD, and resulted in a cleaner
implementation:

https://cgit.freebsd.org/src/tree/sys/dev/xen/cpu/xen_acpi_cpu.c

I however don't have time to do this right now for Linux.

I think the output below is with dom0 running as plain PV rather than
PVH?

Hi Roger,

Congratulations! I hope you had time to really connect. It's the most
important thing we can do here in life.

I came into this to understand each and every error in my boot-log, it
turns out that the latest
kernel+xen+firmware fixes suspend/resume for me, thus is this not
related. But as I pointed out,
the output does not make any sense (nor yours nor the upstream). I
should check the debug
output with suspend working fine now to see if there are any changes,
that would be quite
interesting.

Also, I should mention that your patch broke some things on my system
and made it
unstable. I don't remember exactly and I know you said that this is more
of a PoC. Just a
heads up.

If you would give me a hint at how I could check?
Right now my guess is that C state and P state is not in sync, thus P
state are for every other
CPU and C state is for the first 8. AFAIK AMD only have
performance-cores (unlike Intel).

That's my understanding from earlier implementation as well, nobody
actually like it,
But the current solution is something working in a bad environment.

Maybe I can take a stab, I very much like the climate of the kernel but
everything
seem so scary :) I've been trying to understand things better, how
they're all
connected.

This is the upstream ACPI implementation vs yours. What would plain PV
vs PVH be in dom0?

Right, I don't plan to send the PVH part just now, and instead I'm
focusing in the first patch that should fix _PDC evaluation for PV
dom0. I will Cc you on the last version so you can give it a try and
assert is not regressing stuff for you.

It likely requires you to add printk statements to the kernel in order
to figure out which conditional fails when running as a PVH dom0.

Linux thinking the CPU is not online is more likely to be due to the
ACPI ID differences when running as a PVH dom0. Anyway, I will try to
revisit this and figure out what's wrong.
