It would be very nice to finally merge this support during the next cycle, so please take a look. I think we need acks covering x86, ARM and ACPI. Rafael took a look back in November at v5 and was looking for x86 and ARM acks. Whilst there is no ARM specific code left we probably still need an Ack. If anyone is missing from the cc list, please add them. Introduces a new type of NUMA node for cases where we want to represent the access characteristics of a non CPU initiator of memory requests, as these differ from all those for existing nodes containing CPUs and/or memory. These Generic Initiators are presented by the node access0 class in sysfs in the same way as a CPU. It seems likely that there will be usecases in which the best 'CPU' is desired and Generic Initiators should be ignored. The final few patches in this series introduced access1 which is a new performance class in the sysfs node description which presents only CPU to memory relationships. Test cases for this are described below. Changes since v11: Thanks to Borislav Petkov and Randy Dunlap for review * Changed language in the comments for x86/init_gi_nodes() to passive voice. Dropped "we" from patch description. * Drop excess commas in docs. Changes since v10: Thanks to Borislav Petkov for review * Improve comment for x86/init_gi_nodes() to make it clear what the requirements are on when this function may be called. Also improve clarity of other aspects of this comemnt. Noticed whilst preparing this v11, * Trivial formatting issues in patch 5. Changes since v9: Thanks to Bjorn Helgaas for review. * Fix ordering of checks in patch 4 so we check the version number first. Changes since v8: * ifdef protections and stubs to avoid a build error on ia64. I'm assuming no one cares about Generic Initiators on IA64 (0-day) * Update OSC code to ensure we don't claim to support GIs except on x86 and ARM64 Changes since V7: * Now independent from [PATCH v3 0/6] ACPI: Only create NUMA nodes from entries in SRAT or SRAT emulation * Minor documentation tweak. * Rebase on v5.9-rc1 Changes since V6: * Rebase on 5.8-rc4 + Dependency as above. * Drop the ARM64 specific code. No specific calls are needed on ARM64 as the generic node init is done for all nodes, whether or not they have memory. X86 does memoryless nodes separately from those with memory and hence needs to specifically intialize GI only nodes. * Fix up an error in the docs reported by Brice Goglin who also did quite a bit of testing of v5. Thanks! Changes since V5: 3 new patches: * A fix for a subtlety in how ACPI 6.3 changed part of the HMAT table. * Introduction of access1 class to represent characteristics between CPU and memory, ingnoring GIs unlike access0 which includes them. * Docs to describe the new access0 class. Note that I ran a number of test cases for the new class which are described at the end of this email. Changes since V4: At Rafael's suggestion: Rebase on top of Dan William's Specific Purpose Memory series as that moves srat.c Original patches cherry-picked fine onto mmotm with Dan's patches applied. Applies to mmotm-2019-09-25 + https://lore.kernel.org/linux-acpi/156140036490.2951909.1837804994781523185.stgit@dwillia2-desk3.amr.corp.intel.com/ [PATCH v4 00/10] EFI Specific Purpose Memory Support (note there are some trivial conflicts to deal with when applying the SPM series). Change since V3. * Rebase. Changes since RFC V2. * RFC dropped as now we have x86 support, so the lack of guards in in the ACPI code etc should now be fine. * Added x86 support. Note this has only been tested on QEMU as I don't have a convenient x86 NUMA machine to play with. Note that this fitted together rather differently from arm64 so I'm particularly interested in feedback on the two solutions. Since RFC V1. * Fix incorrect interpretation of the ACPI entry noted by Keith Busch * Use the acpica headers definitions that are now in mmotm. It's worth noting that, to safely put a given device in a GI node, may require changes to the existing drivers as it's not unusual to assume you have local memory or processor core. There may be further constraints not yet covered by this patch. Original cover letter... ACPI 6.3 introduced a new entity that can be part of a NUMA proximity domain. It may share such a domain with the existing options (memory, CPU etc) but it may also exist on it's own. The intent is to allow the description of the NUMA properties (particularly via HMAT) of accelerators and other initiators of memory activity that are not the host processor running the operating system. This patch set introduces 'just enough' to make them work for arm64 and x86. It should be trivial to support other architectures, I just don't suitable NUMA systems readily available to test. There are a few quirks that need to be considered. 1. Fall back nodes ****************** As pre ACPI 6.3 supporting operating systems do not have Generic Initiator Proximity Domains it is possible to specify, via _PXM in DSDT that another device is part of such a GI only node. This currently blows up spectacularly. Whilst we can obviously 'now' protect against such a situation (see the related thread on PCI _PXM support and the threadripper board identified there as also falling into the problem of using non existent nodes https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10723311/ ), there is no way to be sure we will never have legacy OSes that are not protected against this. It would also be 'non ideal' to fallback to a default node as there may be a better (non GI) node to pick if GI nodes aren't available. The work around is that we also have a new system wide OSC bit that allows an operating system to 'announce' that it supports Generic Initiators. This allows, the firmware to us DSDT magic to 'move' devices between the nodes dependent on whether our new nodes are there or not. 2. New ways of assigning a proximity domain for devices ******************************************************* Until now, the only way firmware could indicate that a particular device (outside the 'special' set of cpus etc) was to be found in a particular Proximity Domain by the use of _PXM in DSDT. That is equally valid with GI domains, but we have new options. The SRAT affinity structure includes a handle (ACPI or PCI) to identify devices with the system and specify their proximity domain that way. If both _PXM and this are provided, they should give the same answer. For now this patch set completely ignores that feature as we don't need it to start the discussion. It will form a follow up set at some point (if no one else fancies doing it). Test cases for the access1 class ******************************** Test cases for Generic Initiator additions to HMAT.
