Subject: [PATCH][V2] x86/acpi: Prevent all the X2APIC Id from being parsed in non-x2apic mode

the values of x2APIC ID is greater than 0xff in ACPI MADT, if acpi
is apic_flat, default_apic_id_valid() is called to check id which
is converted from u32 to int, will return true if id is larger than
0x7fffffff, this is wrong

and if local_apic_id is invalid, we should prevent it from being
accounted

This fixes a bug that some Purley platform displays many possible cpu

x86/apic: Fix signedness bug in APIC ID validity checks

The APIC ID as parsed from ACPI MADT is validity checked with the
apic->apic_id_valid() callback, which depends on the selected APIC type.

For non X2APIC types APIC IDs >= 0xFF are invalid, but values > 0x7FFFFFFF
are detected as valid. This happens because the 'apicid' argument of the
apic_id_valid() callback is type 'int'. So the resulting comparison

apicid < 0xFF

evaluates to true for all unsigned int values > 0x7FFFFFFF which are handed
to default_apic_id_valid(). As a consequence, invalid APIC IDs in !X2APIC
mode are considered valid and accounted as possible CPUs.

Change the apicid argument type of the apic_id_valid() callback to u32 so
the evaluation is unsigned and returns the correct result.

Today when I am reading "IntelĀ® 64 Architecture x2APIC Specification", I
find that below in chapter 2.4.1:

The APIC ID value of FFFF_FFFFH and the highest value corresponding to
the imple-mented bit-width of the local APIC ID register in the system
are reserved and cannot be assigned to any logical processor.

Seems, FFFF_FFFFH is also invalid for X2APIC types, Shall we also do the
validity check for X2APIC ID?

acpi_parse_x2apic()
...
/* Ignore invalid ID */
if (apic_id == 0xffffffff)
return 0;
...

Thanks,
dou

Yes. I noticed that as well and just did not come around to write the
patch.
