PATCH 1/1 ia64: /proc/cpuinfo "physical id" field cleanups

Clean up the process for presenting the "physical id" field in /proc/cpuinfo.

- remove global smp_num_cpucores, as it is mostly useless

- remove check_for_logical_procs(), since we do the same functionality in identify_siblings()

- reflow logic in identify_siblings(). For older CPUs that do not support multi-core / thread, we still want to call ia64_sal_physical_id_info() and better handle ia64_pal_logical_to_phys().

- remove useless printk's about multi-core / thread capability in identify_siblings(), as that information is readily available in /proc/cpuinfo, and printing for the BSP only adds little value.

- smp_num_siblings is now meaningful if any CPU in the system supports threads, not just the BSP.

- expose "physical id" field, even on CPUs that are not multi-core / multi-threaded. Now we know what sockets Madisons live in too.

Hi Tony,

* Alex Chiang <[email protected]>:

Quoted 2 lines

Clean up the process for presenting the "physical id" field in /proc/cpuinfo.

Tagging onto Bjorn's ping ;) I was wondering what you thought of this patch as well.

I've got the same desire to push my patch into a distro.

Thanks!

- expose "physical id" field, even on CPUs that are not multi-core / multi-threaded. Now we know what sockets Madisons live in too.

This sounds like a good idea. But this patch didn't work for me to achieve that on my HP 2620. /proc/cpuinfo with this patch looks like this:

processor : 0
...
physical id: 4294967295

processor : 1
...
physical id: 4294967295

So both my Madison cpus are apparently sharing the same socket! That big decimal number is just "-1" printed as an unsigned.

So both my Madison cpus are apparently sharing the same socket! That big decimal number is just "-1" printed as an unsigned.

I spent some time looking at this and also talked with our low-end firmware guys, and think I understand what's going on now.

First, on HP low-end platforms, like your rx2620, SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO is hard coded to return 0. I missed this because I tested on low-end and high-end with Montes, and on high-end with Madisons. I must have missed low-end Madison based platforms. :(

Based on that information, I will have to rethink my approach.

Second, SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO did not show up until SAL 3.2, which I think is why you got -1. On my rx2620, I have a relatively modern firmware which does have the SAL call, and I get 0 for each physical id (with Madisons).

In identify_cpu(), we initialize c->socket_id to -1 because we expect that value to get overwritten later, in identify_siblings().

If you look at my patch, identify_siblings() calls ia64_sal_physical_id_info(), and then returns if we get a failure.

You should have seen this printk:

	printk(KERN_ERR "ia64_sal_pltid failed with %ld\n", status);

Can you verify that you saw that in your dmesg? I think the status should be -1, due to not-implemented.

Thanks.

Yes. I see this message, and the status is indeed -1.

#5 lore raw
In reply to Alex Chiang

Hi Tony,

After a lot of rethinking (and a little bit of rework), here is my second shot at this patch.

The only real change from the prior version is that I change the intialization of socket_id to 0 as default. I think the benefit of displaying information from PAL/SAL (when available) on older platforms outweighs the oddity that the user may see physical_id = 0 for multiple CPUs occasionally.

I've tested on:

rx1620
rx2660
rx6600
rx8620
rx8640
superdome

And it does reasonable things on all of them.

Please consider this for inclusion. Thanks.

- remove global smp_num_cpucores, as it is mostly useless

- remove check_for_logical_procs(), since we do the same functionality in identify_siblings()

- initialize socket_id to 0 as a default, in case an older CPU implements neither PAL_LOGICAL_TO_PHYSICAL nor SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO. We're presenting this data later in /proc/cpuinfo, so we'd like a reasonable value for older platforms.

- reflow logic in identify_siblings(). If an older CPU does not implement PAL_LOGICAL_TO_PHYSICAL, we may still be able to get useful information from SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO

- in identify_siblings(), threads/cores are a property of the CPU, not the platform

- remove useless printk's about multi-core / thread capability in identify_siblings(), as that information is readily available in /proc/cpuinfo, and printing for the BSP only adds little value

- smp_num_siblings is now meaningful if any CPU in the system supports threads, not just the BSP

Sure, that sounds like a much better idea. Here's try #3 (go back to old initialization of socket_id = -1, and decide in show_cpuinfo whether we should print it or not).

The only real change from the prior version is that I change the intialization of socket_id to 0 as default. I think the benefit of displaying information from PAL/SAL (when available) on older platforms outweighs the oddity that the user may see physical_id = 0 for multiple CPUs occasionally.

Can't we not print the physical_id if we don't know what it is? That sounds like a better idea than printing wrong information.

Sure, that sounds like a much better idea. Here's try #3 (go back to old initialization of socket_id = -1, and decide in show_cpuinfo whether we should print it or not).

Did this patch work for you?

Thanks.
