ok, thank you. Now I understand (maybe) whats' going on. Linux treated
bits 22,23,24,25 but ignored 27 which it shouldn't have. Now, coupled with
the fact that the problematic box I have (Celeron) has that bit 27 set 
suggests that we ought to extend mult[] table appropriately. The values
for that Celeron do not match anything in the Table 14 so we have to
extend mult[] emprirically. (so I now come back to the idea of 4bit
representation of 'bus').

I will stop here/now but I will definitely come back to this interesting
problem in 24 hours. But if anyone fixes it before then, I won't cry :)
Of course, before sending anything I will make sure my patch works on
_all_ my machines without any exceptions.

The values are read from the poweron register. The values in that can be wrong
in certain cases. The real goal is to get the bus/multiplier values  for the
processors on an SMP box reliably. In fact the 'overclocked' hack is probably
not something I'd feed to Linus

Ultimately we need this to detect SMP boxes where the cpus have different
multipliers, as we must disable the TSC in these cases.

Alan,

Those formulae (both 'bus' and 'mul' calculation) are broken, I think.

If I extend 'bus' to be 4 bits instead of 2 then I can make it work on all
of my machines (or all those I tried), of course, extending the buscode[]
table appropriately.

However, the radically broken, imho, thing is that the (bus, mul) pair is
_not_ constant when I vary the bus/cpu speed settings in the "soft cpu
BIOS". If the bits of the 0x2A msr are supposed to be used for finding out
the "true" i.e. intended bus/cpu speeds (hence the label "overclocked" in
the code) then they should remain constant when one is overclocking,
right?

As for my question on the evenness of the calls to identify_cpu() --
ignore it, it was obvious, of course (called from check_bugs() on
boot_cpu_data and then on SMP on each cpu_data + id)

363 / 66 would be a 66Mhz bus 5.5 multiplier. It got the multiplier right
but it appears the bus speed encoding may be different.

 I disagree.  It's just a dirty hack and it obscures the APIC code even
more than it already is.  I propose to make it cleanly.  Please let me do
some code and we may get back to the discussion then.

 I suppose such BIOS doesn't exist and isn't going to.  An SMP
configuration with no I/O APIC is legal from the hw point of view though
and it's sane (modulo errata), even if not permitted by the MPS.  We may
handle it for free and we will handle UP systems with an MP-table and no
APIC automatically as well.

 Sure -- I just want to simplify them. :-)

 That's not a right fix.  We should make a check in MP_ioapic_info() and
do not register bogus I/O APICs (hmm, I wonder what the next thing to be
broken in MP-tables is...).  We should handle the no I/O APIC case around
setup_IO_APIC() then.  This would be similar to specifying "noapic"  in
the command line.  There is absolutely no need to disable SMP support if
there is no I/O APIC -- we don't insist on having it.  We are able to
route interrupts through 8259A controllers if needed (we'd better avoid it
if at all possible due to various chip errata, though).

 I'll implement the idea together with my pending APIC clean-ups. 

 We don't handle P4-compatible I/O APICs at the moment, anyway...

Maciej, it *is* the right fix. These are UP systems not SMP systems, but
if we boot an SMP kernel then we find a (largely bogus) mptable during the
scan.

Any BIOS of a real SMP box that is so blatantly broken to specify a NULL
ioapic in the mptable deserves SMP mode being disabled altogether.

lets not overcomplicate things.

 That's not a right fix.  We should make a check in MP_ioapic_info() and
do not register bogus I/O APICs (hmm, I wonder what the next thing to be
broken in MP-tables is...).  We should handle the no I/O APIC case around
setup_IO_APIC() then.  This would be similar to specifying "noapic"  in
the command line.  There is absolutely no need to disable SMP support if
there is no I/O APIC -- we don't insist on having it.  We are able to

 scan.

 I disagree.  It's just a dirty hack and it obscures the APIC code even
more than it already is.  I propose to make it cleanly.  Please let me do
some code and we may get back to the discussion then. 

 Any BIOS of a real SMP box that is so blatantly broken to specify a NULL
 ioapic in the mptable deserves SMP mode being disabled altogether.

 I suppose such BIOS doesn't exist and isn't going to.  An SMP
configuration with no I/O APIC is legal from the hw point of view though
and it's sane (modulo errata), even if not permitted by the MPS.  We may
handle it for free and we will handle UP systems with an MP-table and no
APIC automatically as well.

 lets not overcomplicate things.

 Sure -- I just want to simplify them. :-)

The model name printing has not changed. Not at all.

 same here with PIII550MHz/100MHz bus. Actually, it is wrong in 2.4.2-ac6
 as well -- don't know about ac5:

Please send me the value of your 0x2A MTRR. Because this isnt properly intel
documented there is a certain amount of research still required.

363 / 66 would be a 66Mhz bus 5.5 multiplier. It got the multiplier right
but it appears the bus speed encoding may be different.
