ACPI 6.2 adds a new table, which describes how processing units

also sprinkled throughout the tree and describe the properties

Add the code to parse the cache hierarchy and report the total
number of levels of cache for a given core using
acpi_find_last_cache_level() as well as fill out the individual
cores cache information with cache_setup_acpi() once the
cpu_cacheinfo structure has been populated by the arch specific
code.

Further, report peers in the topology using setup_acpi_cpu_topology()
to report a unique ID for each processing unit at a given level
in the tree. These unique id's can then be used to match related
processing units which exist as threads, COD (clusters
on die), within a given package, etc.

I think this patch should be split ((1) topology (2) cache), it is doing
too much which makes it hard to review.

If you look at the RFC, it only did cache parsing, the topology changes were added for v1. The cache bits are the ugly parts because they are walking up/down both the node tree, as well as the cache tree's attached to the nodes during the walk. Once that was in the place the addition of the cpu topology was trivial. But, trying to understand the cpu topology without first understanding the weird stuff done for the cache topology might not be the right way to approach this code.

A leaf node is a node with a valid acpi_id corresponding to an MADT
entry, right ? By the way, is this function really needed ?

Yes, because the only way to determine if it is a leaf node is to see if there are any references to it elsewhere in the table because the nodes point towards the root of the tree (rather than the other way).

This piece was the primary change for v1->v2.

Is the leaf node check necessary ? Or you just need to check the
ACPI Processor ID valid flag (as discussed offline) ?

The valid flag doesn't mean anything for the leaf nodes, so its the only correct way of determining if the node _might_ have a valid madt/acpi ID. This actually should have the acpi_cpu_id checked as part of the if statement and the leaf node check below because doing it this way makes this parse n^2 instead of 2n. Of course in my mind, checking the id before we know it might be valid is backwards of the "logical" way to do it.

I really do not understand what ACPI_PPTT_PHYSICAL_PACKAGE means and
more importantly, how it is actually used in this code.

?

Physical package maps to the package_id, which is generally defined to mean the "socket" and is used to terminate the cpu topology side of the parse.


This function is used to get a topology id (that is just a number for
a given topology level) for a given level starting from a given leaf
node.

This flag is the one decent part of the spec, because its the only level which actually is guaranteed to mean anything. Because the requirement that the sharability of cache nodes is described with general processor nodes it means that the number of nodes within a given leg of the tree is mostly meaningless because people sprinkle caches around the system, including potentially above the "socket" level.

Why do we care at all about ACPI_PPTT_PHYSICAL_PACKAGE ?

Because, it gives us a hard mapping to core siblings.

Please explain to me the rationale behind this. To me acpi_processor_id
is as good as the cpu_node offset in the table to describe the topology
id at a given level, why special case level 0.

Level 0 is the only level guaranteed to have something set in the acpi_processor_id field. Its possible that values exist in nodes above this one, but they must _all_ be flagged and have matching container ids, and nothing in the spec requires that. Meaning that we need a guaranteed way to generate ids. This was added between v2->v3 after the discussion about making the ids a little nicer for the user.



On top of that, with this ID scheme, we would end up with
thread/core/cluster id potentially being non-sequential values
(depending on the PPTT table layout) which should not be a problem but
we'd better check how people are using them.

The thread (or core, depending on which is the 0 level) will have firmware provided Ids, everything else gets somewhat random looking but consistent ids. I commented earlier in this series that "normalizing" them is totally doable, although at the moment really only the physical_id is user visible and that should probably be normalized outside of this module in the arm64 topology parser if we want to actually do it. I'm not sure its worth the effort at least not as part of the general PPTT changes.

This value is just a token - with no HW meaning whatsoever and that's
where I question the ACPI_PPTT_PHYSICAL_PACKAGE flag usage in retrieving
it, you are not looking for a packageid (which has no meaning whatsoever
anyway and I wonder why it was added to the specs at all) you are
looking for an id at a given level.

If you look at the next patch in the series, to get the top level I pass an arbitrary large value as the "level" which should terminate on the PHYSICAL_PACKAGE rather than any intermediate nodes.



I will comment on the cache code separately - which deserves to
be in a separate patch to simplify the review, I avoided repeating
already reported review comments.
