Firmware support for CPU hotplug under Linux/x86-64 | ||
--------------------------------------------------- | ||
|
||
Linux/x86-64 supports CPU hotplug now. For various reasons Linux wants to | ||
know in advance boot time the maximum number of CPUs that could be plugged | ||
into the system. ACPI 3.0 currently has no official way to supply | ||
this information from the firmware to the operating system. | ||
|
||
In ACPI each CPU needs an LAPIC object in the MADT table (5.2.11.5 in the | ||
ACPI 3.0 specification). ACPI already has the concept of disabled LAPIC | ||
objects by setting the Enabled bit in the LAPIC object to zero. | ||
|
||
For CPU hotplug Linux/x86-64 expects now that any possible future hotpluggable | ||
CPU is already available in the MADT. If the CPU is not available yet | ||
it should have its LAPIC Enabled bit set to 0. Linux will use the number | ||
of disabled LAPICs to compute the maximum number of future CPUs. | ||
|
||
In the worst case the user can overwrite this choice using a command line | ||
option (additional_cpus=...), but it is recommended to supply the correct | ||
number (or a reasonable approximation of it, with erring towards more not less) | ||
in the MADT to avoid manual configuration. |
