Hi,

Many thanks to Rafael, Rob, and Dexuan for their review! This new version
only collects tags from reviewers, fixes several typos and one bug in
patch 9.

Now that DeviceTree, ACPI and Hyper-V maintainers have reviewed the
patches, I think they are ready for review (merging?) from the x86
maintainers. In particular, Wei Liu had a question for tglx in patch 6
[1]. That question is still open.

I did not change the cover letter but I include it here for completeness.

Thanks in advance for your feedback!

...

This patchset adds functionality to use a wakeup mailbox to boot secondary
CPUs in Hyper-V VTL level 2 TDX guests with virtual firmware that describes
hardware using a DeviceTree graph. Although this is the target use case,
the use of the mailbox depends solely on it being enumerated in the
DeviceTree.

On x86 platforms, secondary CPUs are typically booted using INIT assert,
de-assert followed by Start-Up IPI messages. Virtual machines can also use
hypercalls to bring up secondary CPUs to a desired execution state. These
two mechanisms require support from the hypervisor. Confidential computing
VMs in a TDX environment cannot use this mechanism because the hypervisor
is considered an untrusted entity.

Linux already supports the ACPI Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure in which
the guest platform firmware boots the secondary CPUs and transfers control
to the kernel using a mailbox. This mechanism does not need involvement
of the VMM. It can be used in a Hyper-V VTL level 2 TDX guest.

Currently, this mechanism can only be used on x86 platforms with firmware
that supports ACPI. There are platforms that use DeviceTree (e.g., OpenHCL
[2]) instead of ACPI to describe the hardware.

Provided that the wakeup mailbox enumerated in a DeviceTree-based platform
firmware is implemented as described in the ACPI specification, the kernel
can use common code for both DeviceTree and ACPI systems. The DeviceTree
firmware does not need to use any ACPI table to publish the mailbox.

This patchset is structured as follows:

   * Relocate portions of the code handling the ACPI Multiprocessor Wakeup
     Structure code to a common location. (patches 1, 2)
   * Define DeviceTree bindings to enumerate a mailbox as described in
     the ACPI specification. (patch 3)
   * Find and set up the wakeup mailbox if found in the DeviceTree graph.
     (patch 4)
   * Prepare Hyper-V VTL2 TDX guests to use the Wakeup Mailbox to boot
     secondary CPUs when available. (patches 5-10)

I have tested this patchset on a Hyper-V host with VTL2 OpenHCL, QEMU, and
physical hardware.

Changes since v6:
- Fixed a build error with !CONFIG_X86_MAILBOX_WAKEUP and
  CONFIG_HYPER_VTL_MODE.
- Added Acked-by tags from Rafael. Thanks!
- Added Reviewed-by tags from Dexuan and Rob. Thanks!
- Corrected typos and function names in the changelog.
- Link to v5: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250627-rneri-wakeup-mailbox-v5-0-df547b1d196e@linux.intel.com

Changes in v5:
- Referred in the DeviceTree binding documentation the section and
  section of the ACPI specification that defines the wakeup mailbox.
- Moved the dependency on CONFIG_OF to patch 4, where the flattened
  DeviceTree is parsed for the mailbox.
- Fixed a warning from yamllint regarding line lengths.
- Link to v4: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250603-rneri-wakeup-mailbox-v4-0-d533272b7232@linux.intel.com

Changes in v4:
- Added Reviewed-by: tags from Michael Kelley. Thanks!
- Relocated the common wakeup code from acpi/madt_wakeup.c to a new
  smpwakeup.c to be used in DeviceTree- and ACPI-based systems.
- Dropped the x86 CPU bindings as they are not a good fit to document
  firmware features.
- Dropped the code that parsed and validated of the `enable-method`
  property for cpu@N nodes in x86. Instead, unconditionally parse and use
  the wakeup mailbox when found.
- Updated the wakeup mailbox schema to avoid redefing the structure and
  operation of the mailbox. Instead, refer to the ACPI specification.
  Also clarified that the enumeration of the mailbox is done separately.
- Prefixed helper functions of wakeup code with acpi_.
- Link to v3: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20250503191515.24041-1-ricardo.neri-calderon@linux.intel.com

Changes in v3:
- Only move out of the acpi directory acpi_wakeup_cpu() and its
  accessory variables. Use helper functions to access the mailbox as
  needed. This also fixed the warnings about unused code with CONFIG_
  ACPI=n that Michael reported.
- Major rework of the DeviceTree bindings and schema. Now there is a
  reserved-memory binding for the mailbox as well as a new x86 CPU
  bindings. Both have `compatible` properties.
- Rework of the code parsing the DeviceTree bindings for the mailbox.
  Now configuring the mailbox depends solely on its enumeration in the
  DeviceTree and not on Hyper-V VTL2 TDX guest.
- Do not make reserving the first 1MB of memory optional. It is not
  needed and may introduce bugs.
- Prepare Hyper-V VTL2 guests to unconditionally use the mailbox in TDX
  environments. If the mailbox is not available, booting secondary CPUs
  will fail gracefully.
- Link to v2: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240823232327.2408869-1-yunhong.jiang@linux.intel.com

Changes in v2:
- Fix the cover letter's summary phrase.
- Fix the DT binding document to pass validation.
- Change the DT binding document to be ACPI independent.
- Move ACPI-only functions into the #ifdef CONFIG_ACPI.
- Change dtb_parse_mp_wake() to return mailbox physical address.
- Rework the hv_is_private_mmio_tdx().
- Remove unrelated real mode change from the patch that marks mailbox
  page private.
- Check hv_isolation_type_tdx() instead of wakeup_mailbox_addr in
  hv_vtl_init_platform() because wakeup_mailbox_addr is not parsed yet.
- Add memory range support to reserve_real_mode.
- Remove realmode_reserve callback and use the memory range.
- Move setting the real_mode_header to hv_vtl_init_platform.
- Update comments and commit messages.
- Minor style changes.
- Link to v1: https://lore.kernel.org/r/20240806221237.1634126-1-yunhong.jiang@linux.intel.com

In preparation to move the functionality to wake secondary CPUs up from the
ACPI code, add two helper functions.

The function acpi_setup_mp_wakeup_mailbox() stores the physical address of
the mailbox and updates the wakeup_secondary_cpu_64() APIC callback.

There is a slight change in behavior: now the APIC callback is updated
before configuring CPU hotplug offline behavior. This is fine as the APIC
callback continues to be updated unconditionally, regardless of the
restriction on CPU offlining.

The function acpi_madt_multiproc_wakeup_mailbox() returns a pointer to the
mailbox. Use this helper function only in the portions of the code for
which the variable acpi_mp_wake_mailbox will be out of scope once it is
relocated out of the ACPI directory.

The wakeup mailbox is only supported for CONFIG_X86_64 and needed only with
CONFIG_SMP=y.

The bootstrap processor uses acpi_wakeup_cpu() to indicate to firmware that
it wants to boot a secondary CPU using a mailbox as described in the
Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure of the ACPI specification.

The platform firmware may implement the mailbox as described in the ACPI
specification but enumerate it using a DeviceTree graph. An example of
this is the OpenHCL paravisor.

Move the code used to setup and use the mailbox for CPU wakeup out of the
ACPI directory into a new smpwakeup.c file that can be used by both ACPI
and DeviceTree.

No functional changes are intended.

Add DeviceTree bindings to enumerate the wakeup mailbox used in platform
firmware for Intel processors.

x86 platforms commonly boot secondary CPUs using an INIT assert, de-assert
followed by Start-Up IPI messages. The wakeup mailbox can be used when this
mechanism is unavailable.

The wakeup mailbox offers more control to the operating system to boot
secondary CPUs than a spin-table. It allows the reuse of the same wakeup
vector for all CPUs while maintaining control over which CPUs to boot and
when. While it is possible to achieve the same level of control using a
spin-table, it would require specifying a separate `cpu-release-addr` for
each secondary CPU.

The operation and structure of the mailbox are described in the
Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure defined in the ACPI specification. Note
that this structure does not specify how to publish the mailbox to the
operating system (ACPI-based platform firmware uses a separate table). No
ACPI table is needed in DeviceTree-based firmware to enumerate the mailbox.

Nodes that want to refer to the reserved memory usually define
a `memory-region` property. /cpus/cpu* nodes would want to refer to the
mailbox, but they do not have such property defined in the DeviceTree
specification. Moreover, it would imply that there is a memory region per
CPU. Instead, add a `compatible` property that the operating system can use
to discover the mailbox.

The Wakeup Mailbox is a mechanism to boot secondary CPUs on systems that do
not want or cannot use the INIT + StartUp IPI messages.

The platform firmware is expected to implement the mailbox as described in
the Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure of the ACPI specification. It is also
expected to publish the mailbox to the operating system as described in the
corresponding DeviceTree schema that accompanies the documentation of the
Linux kernel.

Reuse the existing functionality to set the memory location of the mailbox
and update the wakeup_secondary_cpu_64() APIC callback. Make this
functionality available to DeviceTree-based systems by making CONFIG_X86_
MAILBOX_WAKEUP depend on either CONFIG_OF or CONFIG_ACPI_MADT_WAKEUP.

do_boot_cpu() uses wakeup_secondary_cpu_64() when set. It will be set if a
wakeup mailbox is enumerated via an ACPI table or a DeviceTree node. For
cases in which this behavior is not desired, this APIC callback can be
updated later during boot using platform-specific hooks.

Hyper-V VTL clears x86_platform.realmode_{init(), reserve()} in
hv_vtl_init_platform() whereas it sets real_mode_header later in
hv_vtl_early_init(). There is no need to deal with the settings of real
mode memory in two places. Also, both functions are called much earlier
than x86_platform.realmode_init() (via an early_initcall), where the
real_mode_header is needed.

Set real_mode_header in hv_vtl_init_platform() to keep all code dealing
with memory for the real mode trampoline in one place. Besides making the
code more readable, it prepares it for a subsequent changeset in which the
behavior needs to change to support Hyper-V VTL guests in TDX a
environment.

From: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@linux.intel.com>

x86 CPUs boot in real mode. This mode uses a 1MB address space. The
trampoline must reside below this 1MB memory boundary.

There are platforms in which the firmware boots the secondary CPUs,
switches them to long mode and transfers control to the kernel. An example
of such a mechanism is the ACPI Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure.

In this scenario there is no restriction on locating the trampoline under
1MB memory. Moreover, certain platforms (for example, Hyper-V VTL guests)
may not have memory available for allocation below 1MB.

Add a new member to struct x86_init_resources to specify the upper bound
for the location of the trampoline memory. Preserve the default upper bound
of 1MB to conserve the current behavior.

From: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@linux.intel.com>

The hypervisor is an untrusted entity for TDX guests. It cannot be used
to boot secondary CPUs - neither via hypercalls nor the INIT assert,
de-assert, plus Start-Up IPI messages.

Instead, the platform virtual firmware boots the secondary CPUs and
puts them in a state to transfer control to the kernel. This mechanism uses
the wakeup mailbox described in the Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure of the
ACPI specification. The entry point to the kernel is trampoline_start64.

Allocate and setup the trampoline using the default x86_platform callbacks.

The platform firmware configures the secondary CPUs in long mode. It is no
longer necessary to locate the trampoline under 1MB memory. After handoff
from firmware, the trampoline code switches briefly to 32-bit addressing
mode, which has an addressing limit of 4GB. Set the upper bound of the
trampoline memory accordingly.

A Hyper-V VTL level 2 guest in a TDX environment needs to map the physical
page of the ACPI Multiprocessor Wakeup Structure as private (encrypted). It
needs to know the physical address of this structure. Add a helper function
to retrieve the address.

From: Yunhong Jiang <yunhong.jiang@linux.intel.com>

The current code maps MMIO devices as shared (decrypted) by default in a
confidential computing VM.

In a TDX environment, secondary CPUs are booted using the Multiprocessor
Wakeup Structure defined in the ACPI specification. The virtual firmware
and the operating system function in the guest context, without
intervention from the VMM. Map the physical memory of the mailbox as
private. Use the is_private_mmio() callback.

The hypervisor is an untrusted entity for TDX guests. It cannot be used
to boot secondary CPUs. The function hv_vtl_wakeup_secondary_cpu() cannot
be used.

Instead, the virtual firmware boots the secondary CPUs and places them in
a state to transfer control to the kernel using the wakeup mailbox. The
firmware enumerates the mailbox via either an ACPI table or a DeviceTree
node.

If the wakeup mailbox is present, the kernel updates the APIC callback
wakeup_secondary_cpu_64() to use it.

Thanks for the clarification Rafael. Does this clarification apply also
patches 2 and 3?

Also, if no further changes are needed in the series, can it be corrected
when the patches are merged?

How does ACPI-related code belong in the arch/x86/kernel/ hierarchy?

Not to mention that arch/x86/kernel/ is a dumping ground for everything *and*
the kitchen sink so we should not put more crap in there...

Well, is an ACK required in addition to R-by?  I thought that the latter 
would imply the former, wouldn't it?

Right. All the functions in the file start with the acpi_ prefix. It could
be kept under arch/x86/kernel/acpi/. The Kconfig symbol X86_MAILBOX_WAKEUP
would have to live in arch/x86/Kconfig as there is no Kconfig file under
arch/x86/kernel/acpi. ACPI_MADT_WAKEUP is arch/x86/Kconfig.

Does that sound acceptable?

Thank you for your feedback, Boris,

Right, this looks kinda weird. You have devicetree thing using ACPI code,
you're trying to carve it out but then it is ACPI code anyway. So why even do
that?

You can simply leave ACPI enabled on that configuration. I don't see yet what
the point for the split is - saving memory, or...?

I did not want to enable the whole of ACPI code as I need a tiny portion of it.
Then yes, saving memory and having a smaller binary were considerations.

The only dependency that ACPI_MADT_WAKEUP has on ACPI is the code to read and
parse the ACPI table that enumerates the mailbox. (There are a couple of
declarations for CPU offlining that need tweaking if I want ACPI_MADT_WAKEUP to
not depend on ACPI at all).

The DeviceTree firmware only needs the code to wake CPUs up. That is the code
I am carving out.

Having said that, vmlinux and bzImage increase by 4% if I enable ACPI.

Thanks and BR,
Ricardo

So, is it a concern or not? I cannot understand from the above whether you
care about 4% or not.

If you do, I guess you can make a piece of ACPI code available through another
Kconfig option but keep it in the ACPI hierarchy.

Because no matter how you look at it, it is ACPI code which is trying to be
generic and failing at that.

Unless you scrub it completely and make it a generic thing which is used by
ACPI too.

Which would be a separate patchset.

Thx.
