[PATCH v5 0/8] Remove EPYC mode apicid decode and use generic decode


From: Babu Moger
Subject: [PATCH v5 0/8] Remove EPYC mode apicid decode and use generic decode
Date: Fri, 21 Aug 2020 17:12:19 -0500
User-agent: StGit/unknown-version

To support some of the complex topology, we introduced EPYC mode apicid decode.
But, EPYC mode decode is running into problems. Also it can become quite a
maintenance problem in the future. So, it was decided to remove that code and
use the generic decode which works for majority of the topology. Most of the
SPECed configuration would work just fine. With some non-SPECed user inputs,
it will create some sub-optimal configuration.
Here is the discussion thread.
c0bcc1a6-1d84-a6e7-e468-d5b437c1b254@amd.com/">https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/c0bcc1a6-1d84-a6e7-e468-d5b437c1b254@amd.com/

This series removes all the EPYC mode specific apicid changes and use the 
generic
apicid decode.

v5:
 Revert EPYC specific decode.
 Simplify CPUID_8000_001E

v4:
  
159744083536.39197.13827776633866601278.stgit@naples-babu.amd.com/">https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/159744083536.39197.13827776633866601278.stgit@naples-babu.amd.com/
  Not much of a change. Just added few text changes.
  Error out configuration instead of warning if dies are not configured in EPYC.
  Few other text changes to clarify the removal of node_id, nr_nodes and 
nodes_per_pkg.

v3:
  
159681772267.9679.1334429994189974662.stgit@naples-babu.amd.com/#r">https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/159681772267.9679.1334429994189974662.stgit@naples-babu.amd.com/#r
  Added a new check to pass the dies for EPYC numa configuration.
  Added Simplify CPUID_8000_001E patch with some changes suggested by Igor.
  Dropped the patch to build the topology from CpuInstanceProperties.
  TODO: Not sure if we still need the Autonuma changes Igor mentioned.
  Needs more clarity on that.

v2:
  
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/159362436285.36204.986406297373871949.stgit@naples-babu.amd.com/
  Used the numa information from CpuInstanceProperties for building
  the apic_id suggested by Igor.
  Also did some minor code re-aarangement to take care of changes.
  Dropped the patch "Simplify CPUID_8000_001E" from v1. Will send
  it later.

v1:
 
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/159164739269.20543.3074052993891532749.stgit@naples-babu.amd.com
