I have booted with a Live Linux and dumped acpi tables. Those are 100%
identical with those
I received from Dom0. I will now start looking into
acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt And
check, why it is returning -ENODEV.

One step further: the problem is that pr->pblk is not set, thus
acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt fails.
Knowing this, I found an error in the ACPI_DEBUG output that
corresponds:
[ 17.062739] processor_xen-0222 [00] xen_acpi_processor_get: Processor
[-1:0]
[ 17.062902] processor_xen-0225 [00] xen_acpi_processor_get: No PBLK
(NULL address)
It does this for all processors. pr_id is always -1, pr->acpi_id
counting up from 0 to 2.
Any help is welcome, but I will analyze further...
Carsten.

Thanks for your support.
So the plan is to run the very kernel (2.6.32.40 from Jeremy's git) natively, without Xen, and check
what acpi.debug and my printks are reporting?
Would the other check be to change pr_id from -1 to 0 by some helper code in the right place?
Have I correctly understood that my BIOS seems to implement C-States through FADT instead of _CST,
which is ok generally, but the FADT PBLK is not correctly set (maybe because it worries about the -1)?
By the way:
- I dom0_vcpus_pin and restrict Dom0 to only use one vcpu in xend-config.sxp
- I used Xen/Debian Squeeze PVOPS Xen Kernel on the Intel Box
- The same combo fails on the AMD box, latest PVOPS, too. Further testing done with latest PVOPS.
Everything used to work with Xen / 2.6.18 Dom0 Kernel, but I cannot check that, because it will not
boot any longer, because it doesn't find the root system. I currently concentrate on the C-State
issue.
Carsten.

We don't want to add that limitation to have dom0 vcpu number same as
physical cpu number to use PM features. But yes Carsten can try use
same number to see whether it works for him. If it works, then there's other
corner cases we didn't capture. But since this works on his Intel box, which
I guess same configuration is used, I'd think it may come from some oddity
in AMD box's ACPI table which is not well handled by either common ACPI
code or Xen specific stubs.

I have not done a log with ACPI_DEBUG enabled. Will do so tonight or tomorrow night.

dom0_vcpu_pin/xend-config.sxp result in the following excerpt of xm vcpu-list:

So the FADT PBLK is about this line:
Processor (CP00, 0x10, 0x00000410, 0x06)
in your DSDT. The 0x0000410 is the PBLK and somehow it is NULL on your box. You could
run iasl -d on the DSDT to find out what exactly is there.
But I *think* that should not affect the C-states as it is just used for reserving some
CardBus regions.

So just so that you don't lose heart - the C states do work on my AMD box.
Interstingly the _PSS states are being reported as non-existent - but on baremetal
they seem to exist.

Very intersting, as P-States work perfectly with my AMD box...

That's where I got my information from. So wither we have a problem in
accessing the tables
(very unprobable ) or the logic has changed between 2.6.18.8 and
2.6.32-pvops what happens
If a BIOS doesn't provide C-State information at all...

In the native case pr->id can be -1 only under CPU hotplug case, or else it
should be a valid number in all cases. In Xen due to the difference between
dom0's VCPU and underlying PCPU, the extra logic is added to retrieve
ACPI object even when pr->id is -1.

I checked ACPI spec again. PBLK is an optional processor control block though it's
generally implemented in most platforms. It includes system I/O port address which
can be used to throttle CPU clock or enter C2/C3 in a static manner. When the
BIOS provides _CST methods which is a more flexible and preferred way to carry
Cstate information, PBLK is not used. Or else PBLK provides basic information to
control C-state, and FADT table contains latency info about C2/C3
So if your platform BIOS reports ACPI table correctly, I would expect:
- either there's a valid _CST existing
- or there's a valid PBLK info which is accompanied with valid Cstate info in FADT
In your case there's no _CST found, and then no PBLK found. So the code simply
early returns w/o further acquiring FADT info:
static int acpi_processor_get_power_info_fadt(struct acpi_processor *pr)
{
if (!pr)
return -EINVAL;
if (!pr->pblk)
return -ENODEV;

So you can try use same VCPU number as physical number, to see whether this
issue is caused by the mismatch.

do you mean the latest PVOPS from Konzad? I don't think Cstate/Pstate patches
have been carried there, which still stay in Jeremy's tree.
Since this is the AMD box which I'm not familiar with, also CC Mark here who is
the owner for power management on AMD boxes.

Just a caveat that manual iasl may not match the actual content observed by the
kernel, because OSPM may notify BIOS for its supported capability which then
may further impact final visible content. :-)

The only thing that are giveing me hope are:
- it worked once (Xenified 2.6.18.8)
- FADT contains C2/C3 Latency information (_CST Support is 00 BTW)

Currently I tried with stable 2.6.32.x from Jeremy and Debian Squeeze, as Konrad
said, his 2.6.39.x would expose C-States for him, what did not before, I will try
his 2.6.39.x next. I can check this and native boot results tonight.

Mark, I realy hope you have an idea. This is - by the way - the X3 400e I just bought
because I never succeeded in getting TSC hickup-free >2.6.18 systems with my 4050e,
you eventually remember...?

I stuck them in the stable/2.6.39.x tree. They they do need some refactoring
for them be upstreamable.

Booting the very kernel on bare hardware will not change the way things
are running,
despite one small change: the CPUs are registered as "cooling devices"

It then implicates the possibility of a general bug in ACPI on this special AMD box, which then gets fixed in later kernel (so why Konrad's 2.6.39 tree works). It's not Xen/Dom0 specific.
I suggest you move to Konrad's tree when it's ready.
Thanks
Kevin
