The {socket, cluster, core} IDs detected from Linux guest aren't matching with what have been provided in PPTT. The flag used for 'ACPI Processor ID valid' is missed for {socket, cluster, core} nodes. In this case, Linux guest takes the offset between the node and PPTT header as the corresponding IDs, as the following logs show.

With this applied, the IDs are exactly what have been provided in PPTT. I also checked the PPTT table on my host, where the 'ACPI Processor ID valid' is set for cluster/core nodes, but missed from socket nodes. host# pwd /sys/devices/system/cpu host# cat cpu0/topology/physical_package_id; \ cat cpu0/topology/cluster_id; \ cat cpu0/topology/core_id 36 0 0 Gavin Shan (3): tests/acpi/virt: Allow PPTT ACPI table changes hw/acpi/aml-build: Fix {socket, cluster, core} IDs in PPTT tests/acpi/virt: Update PPTT ACPI table hw/acpi/aml-build.c | 9 ++++++--- tests/data/acpi/virt/PPTT | Bin 96 -> 96 bytes 2 files changed, 6 insertions(+), 3 deletions(-) -- 2.23.0
