[2.6.0-test3] Hyperthreading gone

[Florian Weimer]

ACPI with CPU enumeration is enabled, but the sibling CPUs aren't
activated.

This is all what I have of the boot message (standard buffer size is
too small, apparently):

Recent 2.4.x kernels (starting with 2.4.20 IIRC) support
Hyperthreading on this machine (Siemens Primergy H450).

Re: [2.6.0-test3] Hyperthreading gone

Did you select CPU Enumeration Only, or "normal" ACPI?  If the former,
did you specify the "acpismp=force" parameter at bootup?

CPU Enumeration Only.

I didn't.  Previous experience (with some 2.5.x versions) indicates
that Linux does not support full ACPI on this machine.  The
documentation suggests that the command line option enables full ACPI,
so I hesitate to do this.

According to the 2.6.0-test3 menuconfig help text, the parameter is
required when CPU Enumeration Only is selected, and enables only
limited ACPI support.  For whatever it's worth, that matches my
experience.


   CONFIG_ACPI_HT_ONLY:

   This option enables limited ACPI support -- just enough to
   enumerate processors from the ACPI Multiple APIC Description
   Table (MADT).  Note that ACPI supports both logical (e.g. Hyper-
   Threading) and physical processors, where the MultiProcessor
   Specification (MPS) table only supports physical processors. 

   Full ACPI support (CONFIG_ACPI) is preferred.  Use this option
   only if you wish to limit ACPI's role to processor enumeration. 

   In this configuration, ACPI defaults to off. It must be enabled
   on the command-line with the "acpismp=force" option.

I don't think it's clear from the description.  It's certainly
unexpected that a compile-time option doesn't activate a feature, but
merely adds a boot option to do so.

Anyway, I can't test right now because 2.6 is still eating the file
system. 8-(

Florian, at the moment, in 2.4 and in 2.6, you do have to specify the
"acpismp=force" boot parameter to get HT to work with CPU Enumeration
Only: it can't enable full ACPI since you don't have full ACPI built in,
so no need to hesitate.  But of course it's stupid, and the ACPI guys
agree it's wrong and to be fixed.

Len, what's up with this?  I'm not worried about 2.6 right now, but
4 weeks ago you were about to submit a patch to fix this for 2.4.22,
which is now at 2.4.22-rc2 and still behaving as broken in -pre1.

Is it time to dig out my own patch and send to Marcelo again?

With 2.4, I get hyperthreading without any ACPI configuration option.

In 2.4.which?  When I said "at the moment", I was meaning "latest",
2.4.22-pre1 through 2.4.22-rc2.  Sure, 2.4.21 and a few earlier could
do HyperThreading without CONFIG_ACPI, but 2.4.22-pre1 changed that.

Good to know. Andrew, I'll wait for you on those updates to release -rc3.

[Brown, Len]

Hugh,
My changes go to Marcelo via Andy.  This one has been waiting in his
staging area while he was out on vacation.  Now that he is back --
unless something broke in his tree -- I assume he'll be sending it along
to Marcelo shortly.

Cheers,

Ps. If you'd like to see the code, here it is:
