[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] add ACPI Embedded Controller

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] add ACPI Embedded Controller

[liguang]

These patches try to add ACPI Embedded Controller (EC),
refer-to:
ACPI SPEC v5 chapter 5 
"ACPI Embedded Controller Interface Specification"

EC is a standard ACPI device, it plays flexible roles,
e.g. 
power controller, it can control power sequence for
platform to enter or leave system state(0,1,3,4,5),
it can controller CPU fan by the temperature of sensor.
event carrier, it can pass events between platform
and OS, so OS can execute _Qxx method which defined
by yourself.

So, I want to deliver CPU online/offline event between
OS and QEMU for CPU hotplug feature, then we will don't
need to "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online"
again after 'cpu-add'.

patches for online/offline event handler of QEUM and 
linux kernel are writing, and will send once finished.

since EC is a common device, so I send pathes separately.

[Qemu-devel] [PATCH 1/4] acpi: add ACPI Embedded Controller support

[liguang]

this work implemented Embedded Controller chip emulation
which was defined at ACPI SEPC v5 chapter 12:
"ACPI Embedded Controller Interface Specification"

commonly Embedded Controller will emulate keyboard,
mouse, handle ACPI defined operations and some
low-speed devices like SMbus.

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 2/4] acpi/gpe: expand bits of gpe register

the fact is I can't guess why gpe->sts is defined uint8_t 
but the real hardware is 32-bit width.
I expand it to 32 because the future usage for me will 
access bit beyond 8.
of course, I can keep it, but I don't if I can
violate the bit usage indication of this register.

I don't have strong opinion wheter uint8_t or uint32_t.
But the current patch is broken as the pointer offset 
operation needs to be fixed.

seems ACPI SPEC does not define the length,
but, real hardware does, e.g. ICH9.

Still fail to see what exactly you are trying to fix.

qemu can continue work with uint8_t internally just fine.  memory api
will split dword access by guests into 4 byte accesses.  ich9_gpe_ops
looks correct.

gpe->sts is an array, so you already have more than 8 bits.

Oh, and it breaks live migration too.

and not make ich9 depend on ec.

Re: [Qemu-devel] [PATCH 0/4] add ACPI Embedded Controller

[li guang]

Hi, Andreas, Paolo

As you have commented on the raw RFC patch before,
can you also give some comments on these?

and all who are interested in this topic(ACPI EC),

waiting for you comments

Thanks a lot!

Do any non-linux guests support this device?

In fact, any OSes support ACPI will support this device.
so, windows will.

When you say "any OSes supporting ACPI" I think what you really mean is
that we can provide bytecode that interacts with the embedded
controller.

There is not explicit driver in Linux or Windows AFAIK.

I still don't get the point of this.  We can make ACPI hotplug work
without introducing a new device like this.

Hmm, yep, mostly there's no special driver for EC,
because it is directly embedded in code for ACPI
for linux kernel, it's drivers/acpi/ec.c

when you 'cpu-add' a cpu, acpi driver for cpu will not
trigger 'cpu_up' for linux kernel AFAIK, unless you add
a user space program to listen it's uevent and tigger 'cpu_up'.

and EC is not only for ACPI hotplug
for example, the 'pvpanic', if there's a EC,
we can pass pvpanic event by EC's ACPI space or Q-event,
then we will not need this kind of special devices anymore.

it is up to guest OS policy to decide if CPU should be onlined or not,
at least I've seen this rationale on LKML when topic was discussed and
automatic cpu_up on hotplug was rejected.

Yep, but I think it's a favor to do cpu online.

Oh, and the reason is?
can you give me a link?

Oh, Igor,
I remember that you said you can give me some your considerations
on the further development of cpu hotplug feature, but I haven't got
them :-)

Then you have to teach kernel driver (EC) to do cpu_up on _Q02 event,
the question is why would you do this when there is ACPI processor driver
already that handles CPU hotplug in kernel.
You can try add cpu_up() there and perhaps with good enough reasoning it
would be accepted.

Reason was to let guest decide whether online new CPU or nor instead of
doing it unconditionally.

I'm sorry, I haven't time yet to update TODO list on wiki page:

But here some items that need some attention:

* try to introduce generic QOM interface for CPU topology introspection
    something like /machine/node/socket[xxx]/{(core[yyy]/thread[zzz])|thread[zzz]}

* allow to specify at CLI specific CPUs to be created at start-up time
   - important for hot-adding/removing an arbitrary CPU
   - probably depends on previous item so that each CPU could be specified by socket/core/thread numbers

* extend/rework -numa CLI option to support socket to node binding
   - goal is to obsolete node to thread biding which allows specify incorrect topology.

I think it's not necessary to do this.
we can also add another platform driver to listen cpu plug/unplug event
and query EC's ACPI space to decide what to do next.

it's not so convenient to trigger cpu_up/down process for ACPI processor
driver as far as I can see, it seems like informal or hack there.
so I'd like to make a bridge between them.

but, anyway, it's a good point to think about or even try to do.

Yep, by now, of course, only 1 user, that's me. :-)

OK, 
currently, I am using EC to pass cpu hotplug event between QEMU and
linux kernel, and I'll post these patches later.
then, I'll query usages like this in QEMU, and convert them to use
EC's acpi approach if possible.

Thanks!

When I see these patches for qemu/seebios/kernel, I probably would be able
to comment on them. But right now I don't see benefits in switching
CPU hot-plug to EC.

I'll send a RFC patch-set which will include all my work tomorrow.

sorry, maybe a mistake here, I am not trying to switching
CPU hot-plug to EC, but just make EC as a helper to do
CPU hot-plug, like pass plug/unplug event between OS and
platform, it's convenient.
