[PATCH 0/5] x86/cpu_hotplug: one bug fix and four cleanup

[PATCH 0/5] x86/cpu_hotplug: one bug fix and four cleanup

[Dou Liyang]

Recently, we hoped to make the possible CPU count more accurate for
Kernel. I stuck on the issue how do I run acpi_early_init() _before_ 
setup_percpu() is invoked. So send these insignificant patches first.

This patchset does this things:

  - two document-related work(the 1th and 2th patch),
  - two cleapup work (the 3th and 5th patch)
  - a bug fix for CPU hotplug(4th patch)

Dou Liyang (5):
  x86/smpboot: Add the missing description of possible_cpus
  x86/cpu_hotplug: Update the link of cpu_hotplug.rst
  x86/smpboot: Make the check code more clear in prefill_possible_map()
  acpi/processor: Fix the return value of acpi_processor_ids_walk()
  acpi/processor: Make the acpi_duplicate_processor_id() static

[PATCH 1/5] x86/smpboot: Add the missing description of possible_cpus

[Dou Liyang]

Kernel uses the possible_cpus in command line to reset the possible_cpus bits
in cpu_possible_map. It doesn't be recorded in the kernel-parameters.txt

Add its description in this document, also replace the wrong option additional_cpus
with possible_cpus in cpu-gotplug-spec.

[PATCH 3/5] x86/smpboot: Make the check code more clear in prefill_possible_map()

[Dou Liyang]

In prefill_possible_map(), Kernel need to get the number of possible CPUs
to reset cpu_possible_map. The number is related to the options:

  -nosmp, maxcpus, possible_cpus, nr_cpus

... which need to be checked.

Currentlly, the check code mixed these options together in confusion and
hard to follow.

Isolate them, and check them linearly.

No functionary change, Prepare for cutting the number of possible CPUs

[PATCH 3/5] x86/smpboot: Make the check code more clear in prefill_possible_map()

[Dou Liyang]

In prefill_possible_map(), Kernel need to get the number of possible CPUs
to reset cpu_possible_map. The number is related to the options:

  -nosmp, maxcpus, possible_cpus, nr_cpus

... which need to be checked.

Currentlly, the check code mixed these options together in confusion and
hard to follow.

Isolate them, and check them linearly.

No functionary change, Prepare for cutting the number of possible CPUs

[PATCH 4/5] acpi/processor: Fix the return value of acpi_processor_ids_walk()

[Dou Liyang]

ACPI driver should make sure all the processor IDs in their ACPI Namespace
are unique for CPU hotplug. the driver performs a depth-first walk of the
namespace tree and calls the acpi_processor_ids_walk().

But, the acpi_processor_ids_walk() will return true if one processor is
checked, that cause the walk break after walking pass the first processor.

Repace the value with AE_OK which is the standard acpi_status value.

Fixes 8c8cb30f49b8 ("acpi/processor: Implement DEVICE operator for processor enumeration")

That description, esp. the last sentence, doesn't make any kind of sense

Ah, sure enough, I can't be lazy. :-) I stole that from the commit
   3b11ce7f542e ("x86: use possible_cpus=NUM to extend the possible cpus 
allowed")

How about:

possible_cpus=	[s390,x86_64] Set the number of possible CPUs which
		are determined by the ACPI tables MADT or mptables by
		default. possible_cpus=n : n >= 1 enforces the possible
		number to be 'n'.
		While nr_cpus is also be set: nr_cpus=m, choice the
		minimum one for the number of possible CPUs.

So what is the exact difference between possible_cpus and nr_cpus ? I
konw maxcpus= limits the number of CPUs we bring up, and possible_cpus
limits the possible_map, but I'm not entirely sure what nr_cpus does
here.

the possible_cpus= can reset the number of possible CPUs, even bigger
than 'num_processors + disabled_cpus', But nr_cpus= can't.

nr_cpus can limited the maximum CPUs that the kernel could support.

Here is a double check in case of using them at the same time, even if I
think just using possible_cpus= is enough. :-)

nr_cpus limits the number of CPUs the kernel will handle. Think of it as a
boot time override of NR_CPUs.

Way too many commandline switches though.

I'm not sure whether this is the right return value here. Rafael?

Hi, Thomas, Rafael,

Yes, I used AE_OK to make sure it can skip the invalid objects and
continue to do the following other objects, I'm also not sure.

For this bug, recently, I sent another patch to remove this check code
away.

    https://lkml.org/lkml/2018/5/17/320

IMO, the duplicate IDs can be avoid by the other code

    if (invalid_logical_cpuid(pr->id) || !cpu_present(pr->id)) ---- 1)

As the mapping of cpu_id(pr->id) and processor_id is fixed, when
hot-plugging a physical CPU, if its processor_id is duplicated with the
present, the above condition 1) will be 0, and Linux will do not add
this CPU.

And, when every time the system starts, this code will be executed, it
will waste more time with the increase in the number of CPU.

So I prefer to remove this code.

Thanks,
	dou
