[RFC PATCH 0/4] ACPI MADT and FADT update according to the ACPI 6.0 spec

[RFC PATCH 0/4] ACPI MADT and FADT update according to the ACPI 6.0 spec

[Miguel Luis]

The MADT table structure has been updated in commit 37f33084ed2e 
("acpi: arm/virt: madt: use build_append_int_noprefix() API to compose MADT table")
to include the 5.2.12.18 GIC ITS Structure and so table's revision also needs to
be updated. MADT and the FADT tables from the same spec need to be in sync and in
this case also the FADT needs to be updated.

Revision 6.0 of the ACPI FADT table introduces the field "Hypervisor Vendor
Identity" which is missing and must be included. Patch 2/4 includes a suggestion
for the value of this field by using the current acceleration name. This would
provide values like 'KVM' for example when KVM is used.

Open to discussion, your comments, thoughts and suggestions are very welcome.

Thanks in advance.

[RFC PATCH 2/4] acpi: fadt: support revision 6.0 of the ACPI specification

[Miguel Luis]

Update the Fixed ACPI Description Table (FADT) to revision 6.0 of the ACPI
specification adding the field "Hypervisor Vendor Identity" that was missing.

This field's description states the following: "64-bit identifier of hypervisor
vendor. All bytes in this field are considered part of the vendor identity.
These identifiers are defined independently by the vendors themselves,
usually following the name of the hypervisor product. Version information
should NOT be included in this field - this shall simply denote the vendor's
name or identifier. Version information can be communicated through a
supplemental vendor-specific hypervisor API. Firmware implementers would
place zero bytes into this field, denoting that no hypervisor is present in
the actual firmware."

Hereupon, what should a valid identifier of an Hypervisor Vendor ID be and
where should QEMU provide that information?

On this RFC there's the suggestion of having this information in sync by the
current acceleration name. This also seems to imply that QEMU, which generates
the FADT table, and the FADT consumer need to be in sync with the values of this
field.

<= does not make sense. It should be f->rev == 5.
The previous code compares f->rev <= 4 since it needs to cover revisions
2, 3 and 4.

I do not think the vendor identity should change based on the accelerator.
The accelerator QEMU uses should be hidden from the guest OS as far as
possible. I would suggest a string like "QEMU" for vendor ID.

Thank you for the suggestion Ani. I will spin the next version with it.

[RFC PATCH 3/4] acpi: arm/virt: madt: bump to revision 4 accordingly to ACPI 6.0 Errata A

[Miguel Luis]

MADT has been updated with the GIC Structures from ACPI 6.0 Errata A
and so MADT revision and GICC Structure must be updated also.

Fixes: 37f33084ed2e ("acpi: arm/virt: madt: use build_append_int_noprefix() API to compose MADT table")
