Subject: [RFC PATCH v3 00/39] ACPI/arm64: add support for virtual cpuhotplug
Date: Tue, 24 Oct 2023 16:15:28 +0100 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <ZTffkAdOqL2pI2la@shell.armlinux.org.uk> (raw)
Hi,
I'm posting James' patch set updated with most of the review comments
from his RFC v2 series back in September. Individual patches have a
changelog attached at the bottom of the commit message. Those which
I have finished updating have my S-o-b on them, those which still have
outstanding review comments from RFC v2 do not. In some of these cases
I've asked questions and am waiting for responses.
I'm posting this as RFC v3 because there's still some unaddressed
comments and it's clearly not ready for merging. Even if it was ready
to be merged, it is too late in this development cycle to be taking
this change in, so there would be little point posting it non-RFC.
Also James stated that he's waiting for confirmation from the
Kubernetes/Kata folk - I have no idea what the status is there.
I will be sending each patch individually to a wider audience
appropriate for that patch - apologies to those missing out on this
cover message. I have added more mailing lists to the series with the
exception of the acpica list in a hope of this cover message also
reaching those folk.
The changes that aren't included are:
1. Updates for my patch that was merged via Thomas (thanks!):
c4dd854f740c cpu-hotplug: Provide prototypes for arch CPU registration
rather than having this change spread through James' patches.
2. New patch - simplification of PA-RISC's smp_prepare_boot_cpu()
3. Moved "ACPI: Use the acpi_device_is_present() helper in more places"
and "ACPI: Rename acpi_scan_device_not_present() to be about
enumeration" to the beginning of the series - these two patches are
already queued up for merging into 6.7.
4. Moved "arm64, irqchip/gic-v3, ACPI: Move MADT GICC enabled check into
a helper" to the beginning of the series, which has been submitted,
but as yet the fate of that posting isn't known.
The first four patches in this series are provided for completness only.
There is an additional patch in James' git tree that isn't in the set
of patches that James posted: "ACPI: processor: Only call
arch_unregister_cpu() if HOTPLUG_CPU is selected" which looks to me to
be a workaround for arch_unregister_cpu() being under the ifdef. I've
commented on this on the RFC v2 posting making a suggestion, but as yet
haven't had any response.
I've included almost all of James' original covering body below the
diffstat.
The reason that I'm doing this is to help move this code forward so
hopefully it can be merged - which is why I have been keen to dig out
from James' patches anything that can be merged and submit it
separately, since this is a feature for which some users have a
definite need for.
Please note that I haven't tested this beyond building for aarch64 at
the present time.
