Hi Trent,
If anyone has any hints on how to get more information from this or ideas
on the apparent APIC error would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks for the boot logs. The bhyve bug can be seen from:
ACPI BIOS Warning (bug): Incorrect checksum in table [APIC] - 0x1C,
should be 0x0A (20160527/tbprint-229)
[7/1843]
MADT: Ignoring bogus I/O APIC ID 0MADT: Could not find APIC for SCI IRQ 9
.. which is pointing to the MADT table being overwritten. There is
only 256 bytes allocated for this table when it is being created:
acpi.c
* MADT -> 0xf2500 (depends on #CPUs)
* FADT -> 0xf2600 (268 bytes)
...
#define MADT_OFFSET 0x100
#define FADT_OFFSET 0x200
The MADT* for bhyve has a 44-byte fixed header, followed by a array of
8-byte 'Processor Local APIC' entries, one for each vCPU. The end of the
table has a 12-byte 'I/O APIC' entry, 2 10-byte 'Interrupt Source
Override' entries, and a 6-byte 'Local APIC NMI' entry.
Looking at the max #CPUs that can fit into 256 bytes:
256 = 44 + N*8 + 12 + 2*10 + 6, which gives N = 21. The fact that it
worked for slightly larger values is probably due to the table entries
at the end being ignored, until eventually the I/O APIC table entry was
corrupted by the FADT overwrite.
A quick fix to get more vCPUs is to bump the addresses of the tables in
acpi.c following the MADT - adding say 0x500 will give you 128 vCPUs.
+#define FADT_OFFSET 0x700
+#define HPET_OFFSET 0x840
+#define MCFG_OFFSET 0x880
+#define FACS_OFFSET 0x8C0
+#define DSDT_OFFSET 0x900
-#define FADT_OFFSET 0x200
-#define HPET_OFFSET 0x340
-#define MCFG_OFFSET 0x380
-#define FACS_OFFSET 0x3C0
-#define DSDT_OFFSET 0x400
I'll create a bug for this so that the overwrite will be detected at
run-time, and also bump up the space to allow for some growth.
later,
Peter.
