ACPI: CPPC: Fix related_cpus inconsistency during CPU hotplug
When concurrently bringing up and down two SMT threads of a physical
core, many warning call traces occur as below:
The issue timeline is as follows:
1. When the system starts,
cpufreq: CPU: 220, policy->related_cpus: 220-221, policy->cpus: 220-221
2. Offline CPU 220 and CPU 221.
3. Online CPU 220
- CPU 221 is now offline, as acpi_get_psd_map() use
for_each_online_cpu(), so the cpu_data->shared_cpu_map,
policy->cpus, and related_cpus has only CPU 220.
cpufreq: CPU: 220, policy->related_cpus: 220, policy->cpus: 220
4. Offline CPU 220
5. Online CPU 221, the below call trace occurs:
- Since CPU 220 and CPU 221 share one policy, and
policy->related_cpus = 220 after step 3, so CPU 221
is not in policy->related_cpus but
per_cpu(cpufreq_cpu_data, cpu221) is not NULL.
After reverting commit 56eb0c0ed345 ("ACPI: CPPC: Fix remaining
for_each_possible_cpu() to use online CPUs"), the issue disappeared.
The _PSD (P-State Dependency) defines the hardware-level dependency of
frequency control across CPU cores. Since this relationship is a physical
attribute of the hardware topology, it remains constant regardless of the
online or offline status of the CPUs.
Using for_each_online_cpu() in acpi_get_psd_map() is problematic. If a
CPU is offline, it will be excluded from the shared_cpu_map.
Consequently, if that CPU is brought online later, the kernel will fail
to recognize it as part of any shared frequency domain.
Switch back to for_each_possible_cpu() to ensure that all cores defined
in the ACPI tables are correctly mapped into their respective performance
domains from the start. This aligns with the logic of policy->related_cpus,
which must encompass all potentially available cores in the domain to
prevent logic gaps during CPU hotplug operations.
To resolve the original issue regarding the "nosmt" or "nosmt=force"
boot parameter, as send_pcc_cmd() function already does if (!desc)
continue, so reverting that loop back to for_each_possible_cpu() is ok,
only need to change the match_cpc_ptr NULL case in acpi_get_psd_map() to
continue as Sean suggested.
How to reproduce, on arm64 machine with SMT support which use acpi cppc
cpufreq driver:
bash test.sh 220 & bash test.sh 221 &
The test.sh is as below:
while true
do
echo 0 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/online
sleep 0.5
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/related_cpus
echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/online
cat /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu${1}/cpufreq/related_cpus
done
