QEMU<->ACPI BIOS CPU hotplug interface
|
|
--------------------------------------
|
|
|
|
QEMU supports CPU hotplug via ACPI. This document
|
|
describes the interface between QEMU and the ACPI BIOS.
|
|
|
|
ACPI BIOS GPE.2 handler is dedicated for notifying OS about CPU hot-add
|
|
and hot-remove events.
|
|
|
|
============================================
|
|
Legacy ACPI CPU hotplug interface registers:
|
|
--------------------------------------------
|
|
CPU present bitmap for:
|
|
ICH9-LPC (IO port 0x0cd8-0xcf7, 1-byte access)
|
|
PIIX-PM (IO port 0xaf00-0xaf1f, 1-byte access)
|
|
One bit per CPU. Bit position reflects corresponding CPU APIC ID. Read-only.
|
|
The first DWORD in bitmap is used in write mode to switch from legacy
|
|
to modern CPU hotplug interface, write 0 into it to do switch.
|
|
---------------------------------------------------------------
|
|
QEMU sets corresponding CPU bit on hot-add event and issues SCI
|
|
with GPE.2 event set. CPU present map is read by ACPI BIOS GPE.2 handler
|
|
to notify OS about CPU hot-add events. CPU hot-remove isn't supported.
|
|
|
|
=====================================
|
|
Modern ACPI CPU hotplug interface registers:
|
|
-------------------------------------
|
|
Register block base address:
|
|
ICH9-LPC IO port 0x0cd8
|
|
PIIX-PM IO port 0xaf00
|
|
Register block size:
|
|
ACPI_CPU_HOTPLUG_REG_LEN = 12
|
|
|
|
All accesses to registers described below, imply little-endian byte order.
|
|
|
|
Reserved resisters behavior:
|
|
- write accesses are ignored
|
|
- read accesses return all bits set to 0.
|
|
|
|
The last stored value in 'CPU selector' must refer to a possible CPU, otherwise
|
|
- reads from any register return 0
|
|
- writes to any other register are ignored until valid value is stored into it
|
|
On QEMU start, 'CPU selector' is initialized to a valid value, on reset it
|
|
keeps the current value.
|
|
|
|
read access:
|
|
offset:
|
|
[0x0-0x3] Command data 2: (DWORD access)
|
|
if value last stored in 'Command field':
|
|
0: reads as 0x0
|
|
other values: reserved
|
|
[0x4] CPU device status fields: (1 byte access)
|
|
bits:
|
|
0: Device is enabled and may be used by guest
|
|
1: Device insert event, used to distinguish device for which
|
|
no device check event to OSPM was issued.
|
|
It's valid only when bit 0 is set.
|
|
2: Device remove event, used to distinguish device for which
|
|
no device eject request to OSPM was issued.
|
|
3-7: reserved and should be ignored by OSPM
|
|
[0x5-0x7] reserved
|
|
[0x8] Command data: (DWORD access)
|
|
contains 0 unless value last stored in 'Command field' is one of:
|
|
0: contains 'CPU selector' value of a CPU with pending event[s]
|
|
|
|
write access:
|
|
offset:
|
|
[0x0-0x3] CPU selector: (DWORD access)
|
|
selects active CPU device. All following accesses to other
|
|
registers will read/store data from/to selected CPU.
|
|
Valid values: [0 .. max_cpus)
|
|
[0x4] CPU device control fields: (1 byte access)
|
|
bits:
|
|
0: reserved, OSPM must clear it before writing to register.
|
|
1: if set to 1 clears device insert event, set by OSPM
|
|
after it has emitted device check event for the
|
|
selected CPU device
|
|
2: if set to 1 clears device remove event, set by OSPM
|
|
after it has emitted device eject request for the
|
|
selected CPU device
|
|
3: if set to 1 initiates device eject, set by OSPM when it
|
|
triggers CPU device removal and calls _EJ0 method
|
|
4-7: reserved, OSPM must clear them before writing to register
|
|
[0x5] Command field: (1 byte access)
|
|
value:
|
|
0: selects a CPU device with inserting/removing events and
|
|
following reads from 'Command data' register return
|
|
selected CPU ('CPU selector' value).
|
|
If no CPU with events found, the current 'CPU selector' doesn't
|
|
change and corresponding insert/remove event flags are not modified.
|
|
1: following writes to 'Command data' register set OST event
|
|
register in QEMU
|
|
2: following writes to 'Command data' register set OST status
|
|
register in QEMU
|
|
other values: reserved
|
|
[0x6-0x7] reserved
|
|
[0x8] Command data: (DWORD access)
|
|
if last stored 'Command field' value:
|
|
1: stores value into OST event register
|
|
2: stores value into OST status register, triggers
|
|
ACPI_DEVICE_OST QMP event from QEMU to external applications
|
|
with current values of OST event and status registers.
|
|
other values: reserved
|
|
|
|
Typical usecases:
|
|
- (x86) Detecting and enabling modern CPU hotplug interface.
|
|
QEMU starts with legacy CPU hotplug interface enabled. Detecting and
|
|
switching to modern interface is based on the 2 legacy CPU hotplug features:
|
|
1. Writes into CPU bitmap are ignored.
|
|
2. CPU bitmap always has bit#0 set, corresponding to boot CPU.
|
|
|
|
Use following steps to detect and enable modern CPU hotplug interface:
|
|
1. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register,
|
|
attempting to switch to modern mode
|
|
2. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register,
|
|
to ensure valid selector value
|
|
3. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register,
|
|
4. Read the 'Command data 2' register.
|
|
If read value is 0x0, the modern interface is enabled.
|
|
Otherwise legacy or no CPU hotplug interface available
|
|
|
|
- Get a cpu with pending event
|
|
1. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register.
|
|
2. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register.
|
|
3. Read the 'CPU device status fields' register.
|
|
4. If both bit#1 and bit#2 are clear in the value read, there is no CPU
|
|
with a pending event and selected CPU remains unchanged.
|
|
5. Otherwise, read the 'Command data' register. The value read is the
|
|
selector of the CPU with the pending event (which is already
|
|
selected).
|
|
|
|
- Enumerate CPUs present/non present CPUs
|
|
01. Set the present CPU count to 0.
|
|
02. Set the iterator to 0.
|
|
03. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, to ensure that it's in
|
|
a valid state and that access to other registers won't be ignored.
|
|
04. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register to make 'Command data'
|
|
register return 'CPU selector' value of selected CPU
|
|
05. Read the 'CPU device status fields' register.
|
|
06. If bit#0 is set, increment the present CPU count.
|
|
07. Increment the iterator.
|
|
08. Store the iterator to the 'CPU selector' register.
|
|
09. Read the 'Command data' register.
|
|
10. If the value read is not zero, goto 05.
|
|
11. Otherwise store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, to put it
|
|
into a valid state and exit.
|
|
The iterator at this point equals "max_cpus".
