[Qemu-devel] [PATCH RFC 0/7] pass cpu online/offline event bewteen QEMU and linux kernel by ACPI Embedded Controller |
Date: |

patch 1 adds ACPI Embedded Controller (EC),
refer-to:
ACPI SPEC v5 chapter 12
"ACPI Embedded Controller Interface Specification"
EC is a standard ACPI device, it plays flexible roles,
especially be event carrier, it can pass events between platform
and OS, so OS can execute _Qxx method which defined
by yourself and query EC's ACPI space which can be a buffer for
many purposes
here, I want to deliver CPU online/offline event between
OS and QEMU for CPU hotplug feature, then we will don't
need to "echo 1 > /sys/devices/system/cpu/cpu1/online"
again after 'cpu-add' and also for offline to do real cpu
removal.
what I am trying to do is emulated physical addition/removal
(like described by linux kernel document for cpu hotplug --
linux-2.6/Documentation/cpu-hotplug.txt) for QEMU.
these RFC patches are sent for demo what I am trying to do.
the design process simply like following:
cpu-add/del --> EC space & sci setting --> kernel EC driver gpe handler
I
V
listen cpu hotplug event
I
V
query EC space for cpu status
I
V
trigger
cpu online/offline process

acpi: add ACPI Embedded Controller support
ich9: add notifer for ec to generate sci
ec: add operations for _Qxx events
piix4: add notifer for ec to generate sci
piix4: add events for cpu hotplug
qmp: add 'cpu-del' command
pc: add EC qdev init for piix & q35
