The following Linux kernel change broke CPU hotplug for MADT revision
less than 5.
e2869bd7af60 ("x86/acpi/boot: Do not register processors that cannot be
onlined for x2APIC")
Discussion on this topic can be located here:
https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/20230327191026.3454-1-eric.devol...@oracle.com/T/#t
which resulted in the following fixes in Linux 6.3-rc5:
a74fabfbd1b7: ("x86/ACPI/boot: Use FADT version to check support for online
capable")
fed8d8773b8e: ("x86/acpi/boot: Correct acpi_is_processor_usable() check")
However, as part of the investigation into resolving this breakage, I
learned that i386 QEMU reports revision 1, while technically it
generates revision 3.
Below is a table summarizing the changes to the MADT. This information
gleamed from the ACPI specs on uefi.org.
ACPI MADT What
Version Version
1.0 MADT not present
2.0 1 Section 5.2.10.4
3.0 2 Section 5.2.11.4
5.2.11.13 Local SAPIC Structure added two new fields:
ACPI Processor UID Value
ACPI Processor UID String
5.2.10.14 Platform Interrupt Sources Structure:
Reserved changed to Platform Interrupt Sources Flags
3.0b 2 Section 5.2.11.4
Added a section describing guidelines for the ordering of
processors in the MADT to support proper boot processor
and multi-threaded logical processor operation.
4.0 3 Section 5.2.12
Adds Processor Local x2APIC structure type 9
Adds Local x2APIC NMI structure type 0xA
5.0 3 Section 5.2.12
6.0 3 Section 5.2.12
6.0a 4 Section 5.2.12
Adds ARM GIC structure types 0xB-0xF
6.2a 45 Section 5.2.12 <--- version 45, is indeed accurate!
6.2b 5 Section 5.2.12
GIC ITS last Reserved offset changed to 16 from 20 (typo)
6.3 5 Section 5.2.12
Adds Local APIC Flags Online Capable!
Adds GICC SPE Overflow Interrupt field
6.4 5 Section 5.2.12
Adds Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure type 0x10
(change notes says structure previously misplaced?)
6.5 5 Section 5.2.12
For the MADT revision change 1 -> 2, the spec has a change to the
SAPIC structure. In general, QEMU does not generate/support SAPIC.
So the QEMU i386 MADT revision can safely be moved to 2.
For the MADT revision change 2 -> 3, the spec adds Local x2APIC
structures. QEMU has long supported x2apic ACPI structures.
So the QEMU i386 MADT revision can safely be moved to 3.
So, set the MADT revision to 3.

Eric
