[PATCH] x86/acpi: don't call mp_config_acpi_gsi if update_mptable is not used

[Yinghai Lu]

Len doesn't want mp code is called from acpi code.

x86, irq: don't call mp_config_acpi_gsi() if update_mptable is not enabled

Len expressed concern that the update_mptable feature has
side-effects on the ACPI code.

Make it sure explicitly that the code only ever gets called if
the (default disabled) update_mptable boot quirk option is
disabled.

[ Impact: isolate the update_mptable feature from ACPI code more ]

I hate to see new uses of pci_routeirq.  It'd be nice to remove it
completely someday.  But maybe it can't be helped.

"update_mptable" is apparently a boot option, but it's not mentioned
in Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt.  Is this some sort of debug
code or BIOS-writer's helper?  Same with "alloc_mptable".  Why do
we have this stuff?

1. kexec path: after acpi kernel and use kexec to load kerenl with mptable support only or acpi=off
2. help to BIOS engineer to understand how to set mptable and irq routing setup by chipset.
   esp system have several cards and there is bridge in those cards.

I was sort of hoping for a Documentation/kernel-parameters.txt patch.

Is (1) common enough to worry about?  What OSes don't have ACPI
support?  What advantage is there to using "acpi=off"?

(2) sounds like something that should be under a config option, if
it's in the mainline kernel at all.

current we have half commited in mainline.
missed the calling in drivers/acpi

and we are trying to move the calling to arch/x86/kernel/acpi/boot.c
hope Len will buy it.

some other "OS" still use half ACPI tables... MADT etc. but still use mptable for irq routing.

some one want to disable acpi, because acpid is using 100%...

sure, will make it as one CONFIG option that depends on ACPI.

I'd rather fix the problem with acpid than make it easier to
use "acpi=off".

Well, acpi=off is frequently used. Besides of that, there's a design 
and future-proof-ness issue as well: having a correct mptable is 
good in sense of not having all our collective eggs in the ACPI 
basket. ACPI also has IP attached and there are vendors who are 
loathe to use it for one reason or another.

So as long as Yinghai is willing to maintain this path and is 
willing to keep it correct, and as long as we _have_ an acpi=off 
option in the upstream kernel it makes sense to make the kexec 
environment as correct and inclusive as possible.

acpid looping should of course be fixed separately. Almost all 
distros ship with acpi enabled so there's no shortage of bugs being 
reported, and there's no need to artificially make it harder for 
people to not use acpi if they so choose.

[PATCH] x86: add X86_UPDATE_MPTABLE option

[Yinghai Lu]

so could enable it for special purpose.
1. for acpi enabled kernel kexec kernel without acpi
2. for crossing check mptable or have correct mptable

even with this option enabled, user still need to use
update_mpatble or alloc_mptable in command line

[ Impact: new config option to disable update_mptable ]

Is this any use without CONFIG_KEXEC?  Maybe it should depend on
KEXEC as well?  Or maybe we don't need a new option at all, and
could just put this code under CONFIG_KEXEC directly.

Please use English conventions such as starting sentences with capital
letters and capitalizing thing like "ACPI."

If ACPI is not compiled in, we don't need it that too.

ok.

[PATCH, v2] x86: add X86_UPDATE_MPTABLE option

[Yinghai Lu]

so could enable it for special purpose.
1. for acpi enabled kernel kexec kernel without acpi
2. for crossing check mptable or have correct mptable

even with this option enabled, user still need to use
update_mpatble or alloc_mptable in command line

v2: update to make it depends on KEXEC according to Bjorn

[ Impact: new config option to disable update_mptable ]

Wait a minute.  I did raise the possibility of a config option,
but only in the context of code whose only purpose was to help
debug the BIOS.  And I suggested that code like that might not
belong in the mainline at all.

But this code is not like that, since you apparently need it for
kexec in general.  I don't think you should add an additional
config option just for this code.  A new option would just add
complexity for no benefit.
