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 registers 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 behavior
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
offset [0x0-0x3]
|
|
Command data 2: (DWORD access)
|
|
|
|
If value last stored in 'Command field' is:
|
|
|
|
0:
|
|
reads as 0x0
|
|
3:
|
|
upper 32 bits of architecture specific CPU ID value
|
|
other values:

|

|
|
offset [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. Firmware must
|
|
ignore this bit.
|
|
3:
|
|
reserved and should be ignored by OSPM
|
|
4:
|
|
if set to 1, OSPM requests firmware to perform device eject.
|
|
5-7:
|
|
reserved and should be ignored by OSPM
|
|
|
|
offset [0x5-0x7]
|
|
reserved
|
|
|
|
offset [0x8]
|
|
Command data: (DWORD access)
|
|
|
|
If value last stored in 'Command field' is one of:
|
|
|
|
0:
|
|
contains 'CPU selector' value of a CPU with pending event[s]
|
|
3:
|
|
lower 32 bits of architecture specific CPU ID value

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

|
offset [0x0-0x3]
|
|
CPU selector: (DWORD access)
|
|
|
|
Selects active CPU device. All following accesses to other

Valid values: [0 .. max_cpus)

|
|
offset [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 or by firmware
|
|
when bit #4 is set. In case bit #4 were set, it's cleared as
|
|
part of device eject.
|
|
4:
|
|
if set to 1, OSPM hands over device eject to firmware.
|
|
Firmware shall issue device eject request as described above
|
|
(bit #3) and OSPM should not touch device eject bit (#3) in case
|
|
it's asked firmware to perform CPU device eject.
|
|
5-7:
|
|
reserved, OSPM must clear them before writing to register

offset[0x5]

|
Command field: (1 byte access)
|
|

|
|
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.

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:
|
|
|
|
#. Writes into CPU bitmap are ignored.
|
|
#. CPU bitmap always has bit #0 set, corresponding to boot CPU.
|
|
|
|
Use following steps to detect and enable modern CPU hotplug interface:
|
|
|
|
#. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, attempting to switch to modern mode
|
|
#. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register, to ensure valid selector value
|
|
#. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register
|
|
#. 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
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
#. Store 0x0 to the 'CPU selector' register.
|
|
#. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register.
|
|
#. Read the 'CPU device status fields' register.
|
|
#. 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.
|
|
#. 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
|
|
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
|
|
|
|
#. Set the present CPU count to 0.
|
|
#. Set the iterator to 0.
|
|
#. 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.
|
|
#. Store 0x0 to the 'Command field' register to make 'Command data'
|
|
register return 'CPU selector' value of selected CPU
|
|
#. Read the 'CPU device status fields' register.
|
|
#. If bit #0 is set, increment the present CPU count.
|
|
#. Increment the iterator.
|
|
#. Store the iterator to the 'CPU selector' register.
|
|
#. Read the 'Command data' register.
|
|
#. If the value read is not zero, goto 05.
|
|
#. 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".
