RFC PATCH 1/1 Create 'slot' sysfs attribute in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/

Hi Len, Tony,

A while back, I submitted a patch to expose the value of the _SUN method for CPUs. On ia64, the "physical id" field in /proc/cpuinfo isn't sufficient for some legacy HP ia64 platforms, as they do not have a modern SAL or PAL.

	http://lkml.org/lkml/2007/10/30/529

That patch wasn't so great because as Len pointed out, /proc/acpi is a deprecated interface.

Here is another try that attempts to present a generic "slot" attribute in sysfs that leaves the various architectures free to implement however they like.

Yes, I am aware of the physical_package_id attribute. However, that doesn't necessarily map to a slot on the system board. Additionally, it's broken on the same ia64 systems where /proc/cpuinfo is broken, because it's trying to read the same field. :-/

On ia64, I have a somewhat ugly implementation, where the ACPI processor driver is filling in the answer. I chose this approach because I couldn't figure out how to do it in the base CPU driver, since calling the _SUN method requires the ACPI interpreter to be initialized, and it didn't look like that was the case when we did things like identify_siblings(), for instance.

Finally, there is something that looks odd in struct cpuinfo_ia64, where there are now two #ifdef CONFIG_SMP statements. I did this because adding the new 'slot' member created a 4-byte hole in the struct. It felt a little cleaner to me to move the 'int cpu;' member upwards to fill in the hole, and then my 'slot' could take the spot of 'cpu'.

I'd like to get feedback on both:

- the concept in general of creating a new sysfs attribute

- the ia64 implementation, specifically

Thanks.

From: Alex Chiang <[email protected]>

Physical slot information for CPUs is important for many reasons, including managability. For instance, if a platform supports physical CPU hotplug, it would be nice for the user to know which physical CPU module to actually unplug after offlining it.

The "physical id" field in /proc/cpuinfo is broken/missing on older ia64 platforms that do not have modern firmware.

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/physical_package_id exists, but is broken on those same platforms because it's simply reading the same field that would have been presented in /proc/cpuinfo.

Create a 'slot' attribute and define an interface that may be populated via alternate sources, without breaking existing functionality.

Implement this interface on ia64 by invoking the _SUN method on a per cpu basis.

Leave other archs alone for now.

Do these legacy systems with ancient SAL/PAL actually support processor hot plug?

Perhaps this next rant is beyond the scope of Linux architecture and more on overall systems useabilty. It is just asking for trouble to print a message on the console telling the user to go pull out the board in "slot 2". Do the slot numbers count from "0" or from "1"? Are they numbered left-to-right or right-to-left? What if the rack is non-standard so the system was rotated 90 degrees? Now are they numbered top-to-bottom or bottom-to-top.

Best idea is to have a (blinking) (red) light on the board and instruct the operator to pull out the board with the fail-light (but even then a red-green colour blind operator will still mess it up for you and pull the wrong board :-)

Some systems (particularly those designed for hotplug) have the numbers silk-screened onto the case. It's like PCI slots ... my beige-box homebrew PCs don't have slot numbers written on them, but the machines I have from HP are very clearly labelled with slot numbers beside each PCI slot.

Admittedly, the flashing red LED is a better UI, but it's not necessarily as confusing as you're painting it.

No, they do not; that was simply the most convenient / obvious example I could think of for someone reading changelogs a few years later and wondering why we created this sysfs attribute.

A real world example would be HP managability software keeping track of CMC/CPE data for CPUs over a long period of time for the purpose of doing long-term failure analysis.

This software can already grab a bunch of info from IPMI, such as CPU serial number, date code, physical location, but cannot correlate it to the kernel's idea of logical CPU number and physloc.

Having the kernel expose the physical slot ties it all together.

This example is something any vendor selling higher level managability software might want to do, and specifically HP wants to do it to take care of our customers who have large deployments of these legacy systems.

Hopefully that is enough justification to warrant at least looking at the patch and telling me why it sucks. ;)

Well, at least for HP ia64 machines, we have lots of silk-screening on the backplane, as well as pretty diagrams on chassis covers, and we took care in making sure our what our firmware matches up with those pictures.

But in general, I like the idea of das blinkenlights too. :)

Heh, then just make the failure light either blink (for failure) or not blink (default). Then as long as the operator can detect lumens, he/she would just be able to pull the blinky board. :)

Thanks.

I don't think this should be coming from my patch. However, I did update so that we're checking for a _SUN method underneath the CPU before blinding stabbing around and trying to call it.

So I guess that the _SUN method isn't there on my machine.

If you don't have _SUN on your machine, this version of the patch should prevent those annoying messages from appearing.

However, you'll still see the sysfs attribute with a value of -1. Personally, I don't think this is so bad, since on my legacy HP machines, I get a -1 when I cat the 'physical_package_id' attribute...

I'll defer to your judgement on this though.

Subject: [PATCH] Create 'slot' sysfs attribute in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/physical_package_id exists, but may contain incorrect information, especially on older ia64 platforms that do not have modern firmware.

Create a 'slot' attribute and define an interface that may be populated via alternate sources, without breaking existing functionality.

Implement this interface on ia64 by invoking the _SUN method on a per cpu basis.

Leave other archs alone for now.

v1 -> v2:
- Check for _SUN object on CPU before blindly attempting to call it

for every cpu. Presumably because "object" is a union and when you did the "object.integer.value = -1;" you scribbled on some bits that were needed in the subsequent code.

for every cpu. Presumably because "object" is a union and when you did the "object.integer.value = -1;" you scribbled on some bits that were needed in the subsequent code.

Yes, you're right. Sorry about the sloppy code.

Here is v3. I've verified that:

- it's benign on tiger (does not create errors/console noise). You'll still see the -1 if you cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/slot, but you would also get the -1 if you cat physical_package_id

- it does the right thing on platforms that do supply _SUN for processor objects. On my rx2600, physical_package_id is -1, but I get valid values for 'slot' now.

Thanks.

Subject: [PATCH] Create 'slot' sysfs attribute in /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/
From: Alex Chiang <[email protected]>

/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/physical_package_id exists, but may contain incorrect information, especially on older ia64 platforms that do not have modern firmware.

Create a 'slot' attribute and define an interface that may be populated via alternate sources, without breaking existing functionality.

Implement this interface on ia64 by invoking the _SUN method on a per cpu basis.

Leave other archs alone for now.

v2 -> v3:
- Stop stomping on existing PBLK in the event of _SUN failure

v1 -> v2:
- Check for _SUN object on CPU before blindly attempting to call it

Re: [PATCH, RFC] Create 'slot' sysfs attributein/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/

Hi Tony,

I noticed that this patch wasn't in the git tree you sent to Linus for 2.6.26. I don't remember seeing a NACK though -- is there something that I could rework to make it more acceptable?

Thanks.

RE: [PATCH, RFC] Create 'slot' sysfsattributein/sys/devices/system/cpu/cpuN/topology/

Quoted 3 lines

I noticed that this patch wasn't in the git tree you sent to Linus for 2.6.26. I don't remember seeing a NACK though -- is there something that I could rework to make it more acceptable?

I'm mostly ok with this version of the patch. I didn't see any comments from the linux-kernel crowd on the whether they are fond of the new API ("slot" file in cpu/cpuN/topology/) and hate to make the presumption that because they are silent that they agree.

The "mostly ok" part would transform to "fully ok" if there were a way to make sure the "slot" files only appeared on systems where they are meaningful (i.e. have a value other then -1 in them). If there is an easy way to make this happen, then it would make me happier (less clutter in /sys) and perhaps others too (since this API is only useful on large systems where "slot" is meaningful, and there is generally some bias from the community at large about adding interfaces that aren't needed for normal desktop/laptop systems).

-Tony

Patch follows to save people digging in the archives to see what we are talking about.

* Luck, Tony <[email protected]>:

Quoted 9 lines
Quoted 3 lines

I noticed that this patch wasn't in the git tree you sent to Linus for 2.6.26. I don't remember seeing a NACK though -- is there something that I could rework to make it more acceptable?

I'm mostly ok with this version of the patch. I didn't see any comments from the linux-kernel crowd on the whether they are fond of the new API ("slot" file in cpu/cpuN/topology/) and hate to make the presumption that because they are silent that they agree.

Quoted 8 lines

The "mostly ok" part would transform to "fully ok" if there were a way to make sure the "slot" files only appeared on systems where they are meaningful (i.e. have a value other then -1 in them). If there is an easy way to make this happen, then it would make me happier (less clutter in /sys) and perhaps others too (since this API is only useful on large systems where "slot" is meaningful, and there is generally some bias from the community at large about adding interfaces that aren't needed for normal desktop/laptop systems).

Yeah, I agree that the first few attempts weren't so great. I don't really like the idea of adding a new 'slot' file to sysfs either.

I reworked this patch to play nicer with the current topology stuff.

I've also included a cleanup patch that you might be happy to see (removes the noisy ia64_sal_pltid failed with -1 printk).

Tested on an hp rx4640 with Madisons and verified that I actually get sane output in /proc/cpuinfo:

[root@max ~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep processor
processor : 0
processor : 1
processor : 2
processor : 3
[root@max ~]# cat /proc/cpuinfo | grep physical
physical id: 0
physical id: 1
physical id: 2
physical id: 3

Also tested on a Tiger and verified that /proc/cpuinfo remains unchanged, and no useless printk's appear during boot.

Thanks.

PATCH 1/2 ia64: Remove printk noise on unimplemented SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO

Commit 113134fcbca83619be4c68d0ca66db6093777b5d changed the flow of control when calling PAL_LOGICAL_TO_PHYSICAL and SAL_PHYSICAL_ID_INFO. With the change, if a platform did not implement the latter, a useless printk would appear in the boot log:

ia64_sal_pltid failed with -1

So let's check the return code and only printk on a true error, and do not print anything in the unimplemented case. While we're in there, clean up some stylistic issues too.

PATCH 2/2 ia64: Provide ACPI fixup for /proc/cpuinfo/physical_id

In reply to Alex Chiang

Legacy HP ia64 platforms currently cannot provide /proc/cpuinfo/physical_id due to legacy SAL/PAL implementations. However, that physical topology information can be obtained via ACPI.

Provide an interface that gives ACPI one last chance to provide physical_id for these legacy platforms. This logic only comes into play iff:

- ACPI actually provides slot information for the CPU
- we lack a valid socket_id

Otherwise, we don't do anything. Since x86 uses the ACPI processor driver as well, we provide an empty #define.

RE: [PATCH 2/2] ia64: Provide ACPI fixup for /proc/cpuinfo/physical_id

In reply to Alex Chiang

Alex,

I chewed on this a bit ...

+void ia64_fix_socket_id(int num, u32 slot)
+{
+ if (cpu_data(num)->socket_id == -1)
+ cpu_data(num)->socket_id= slot;
+}
+EXPORT_SYMBOL_GPL(ia64_fix_socket_id);

1) socket_id is only defined when CONFIG_SMP=y, so this breaks UP build. Fix: Wrap body of this function inside #ifdef
2) should really just name this function "arch_fix_phys_package_id" and avoid the #define rename in topology.h

drivers/acpi/processor_core.c +0 -0

+ /*
+ * If ACPI describes a slot number for this CPU, we can use it
+ * to fix a broken topology->physical_package_id.
+ */
+ status = acpi_evaluate_object(pr->handle, "_SUN", NULL, &buffer);
+ if (ACPI_SUCCESS(status))
+ arch_fix_phys_package_id(pr->id, object.integer.value);
+

Comment here still refers to what the previous patch was doing. Should now say that we are fixing /proc/cpuinfo "physical id".

include/asm-ia64/topology.h +0 -0

+#define arch_fix_phys_package_id(num, slot) ia64_fix_socket_id(num, slot)

Not needed if we name ia64_fix_socket_id() appropriately. Turn this into an extern definition for arch_fix_phys_package_id() and drop the extern from cpu.h

include/asm-x86/topology.h +0 -0

+#define arch_fix_phys_package_id(num, slot)

Style preference is to now use a "static inline void" function for this to make sure args are correctly typed, and to avoid warnings about unused variables.

updated version of the patch looks like this ... ok???
