Thanks to Marc, Rafael, Gavin and Miguel for further reviews. The remaining potential gap in review is for the couple of arm64 arch patches, in particular arch_(un)register_cpu() where I'd love to hear from one of the maintainers. (patch 16 in v9) v9: - 2 new patches to fix up the existing failure paths in processor_add() These then make it easier to close the memory leaks and wrong passing that Gavin noted in the patch to move the processor id validity checks earlier. Thanks to Rafael for help with that. - Harden get_cpu_for_acpi_id() so as to avoid possiblity of getting a null pointer dereference if the mapping hasn't been set up due to an error earlier in boot (probably invalid MPIDR). Handle the resulting error return by not setting the broken_rdists mask bit as we have no way of knowing which one it is. This should not matter as there is no such CPU. - Drop an overly verbose information print. Updated version of James' original introduction. This series adds what looks like cpuhotplug support to arm64 for use in virtual machines. It does this by moving the cpu_register() calls for architectures that support ACPI into an arch specific call made from the ACPI processor driver. The kubernetes folk really want to be able to add CPUs to an existing VM, in exactly the same way they do on x86. The use-case is pre-booting guests with one CPU, then adding the number that were actually needed when the workload is provisioned. Wait? Doesn't arm64 support cpuhotplug already!? In the arm world, cpuhotplug gets used to mean removing the power from a CPU. The CPU is offline, and remains present. For x86, and ACPI, cpuhotplug has the additional step of physically removing the CPU, so that it isn't present anymore. Arm64 doesn't support this, and can't support it: CPUs are really a slice of the SoC, and there is not enough information in the existing ACPI tables to describe which bits of the slice also got removed. Without a reference machine: adding this support to the spec is a wild goose chase. Critically: everything described in the firmware tables must remain present. For a virtual machine this is easy as all the other bits of 'virtual SoC' are emulated, so they can (and do) remain present when a vCPU is 'removed'. On a system that supports cpuhotplug the MADT has to describe every possible CPU at boot. Under KVM, the vGIC needs to know about every possible vCPU before the guest is started. With these constraints, virtual-cpuhotplug is really just a hypervisor/firmware policy about which CPUs can be brought online. This series adds support for virtual-cpuhotplug as exactly that: firmware policy. This may even work on a physical machine too; for a guest the part of firmware is played by the VMM. (typically Qemu). PSCI support is modified to return 'DENIED' if the CPU can't be brought online/enabled yet. The CPU object's _STA method's enabled bit is used to indicate firmware's current disposition. If the CPU has its enabled bit clear, it will not be registered with sysfs, and attempts to bring it online will fail. The notifications that _STA has changed its value then work in the same way as physical hotplug, and firmware can cause the CPU to be registered some time later, allowing it to be brought online. This creates something that looks like cpuhotplug to user-space and the kernel beyond arm64 architecture specific code, as the sysfs files appear and disappear, and the udev notifications look the same. One notable difference is the CPU present mask, which is exposed via sysfs. Because the CPUs remain present throughout, they can still be seen in that mask. This value does get used by webbrowsers to estimate the number of CPUs as the CPU online mask is constantly changed on mobile phones. Linux is tolerant of PSCI returning errors, as its always been allowed to do that. To avoid confusing OS that can't tolerate this, we needed an additional bit in the MADT GICC flags. This series copies ACPI_MADT_ONLINE_CAPABLE, which appears to be for this purpose, but calls it ACPI_MADT_GICC_CPU_CAPABLE as it has a different bit position in the GICC. This code is unconditionally enabled for all ACPI architectures, though for now only arm64 will have deferred the cpu_register() calls. If folk want to play along at home, you'll need a copy of Qemu that supports this. https://github.com/salil-mehta/qemu.git virt-cpuhp-armv8/rfc-v2 Replace your '-smp' argument with something like: | -smp cpus=1,maxcpus=3,cores=3,threads=1,sockets=1 then feed the following to the Qemu montior; | (qemu) device_add driver=host-arm-cpu,core-id=1,id=cpu1 | (qemu) device_del cpu1 James Morse (7): ACPI: processor: Register deferred CPUs from acpi_processor_get_info() ACPI: Add post_eject to struct acpi_scan_handler for cpu hotplug arm64: acpi: Move get_cpu_for_acpi_id() to a header irqchip/gic-v3: Don't return errors from gic_acpi_match_gicc() irqchip/gic-v3: Add support for ACPI's disabled but 'online capable' CPUs arm64: document virtual CPU hotplug's expectations cpumask: Add enabled cpumask for present CPUs that can be brought online Jean-Philippe Brucker (1): arm64: psci: Ignore DENIED CPUs Jonathan Cameron (11): ACPI: processor: Simplify initial onlining to use same path for cold and hotplug cpu: Do not warn on arch_register_cpu() returning -EPROBE_DEFER ACPI: processor: Drop duplicated check on _STA (enabled + present) ACPI: processor: Return an error if acpi_processor_get_info() fails in processor_add() ACPI: processor: Fix memory leaks in error paths of processor_add() ACPI: processor: Move checks and availability of acpi_processor earlier ACPI: processor: Add acpi_get_processor_handle() helper ACPI: scan: switch to flags for acpi_scan_check_and_detach() arm64: acpi: Harden get_cpu_for_acpi_id() against missing CPU entry arm64: arch_register_cpu() variant to check if an ACPI handle is now available. arm64: Kconfig: Enable hotplug CPU on arm64 if ACPI_PROCESSOR is enabled. .../ABI/testing/sysfs-devices-system-cpu | 6 + Documentation/arch/arm64/cpu-hotplug.rst | 79 ++++++++++ Documentation/arch/arm64/index.rst | 1 + arch/arm64/Kconfig | 1 + arch/arm64/include/asm/acpi.h | 12 ++ arch/arm64/kernel/acpi.c | 22 +++ arch/arm64/kernel/acpi_numa.c | 11 -- arch/arm64/kernel/psci.c | 2 +- arch/arm64/kernel/smp.c | 59 +++++++- drivers/acpi/acpi_processor.c | 135 ++++++++++-------- drivers/acpi/processor_core.c | 3 +- drivers/acpi/processor_driver.c | 43 ++---- drivers/acpi/scan.c | 47 ++++-- drivers/base/cpu.c | 12 +- drivers/irqchip/irq-gic-v3.c | 57 ++++++-- include/acpi/acpi_bus.h | 1 + include/acpi/processor.h | 2 +- include/linux/acpi.h | 12 +- include/linux/cpumask.h | 25 ++++ kernel/cpu.c | 3 + 20 files changed, 402 insertions(+), 131 deletions(-) create mode 100644 Documentation/arch/arm64/cpu-hotplug.rst
