Oh, sorry I didn't say more... What the old code did was the following: device_t cpu; for(cpu = all_devices; cpu; cpu = cpu->next) { .... <- check if the device is an APIC and if it is, dump an APIC entry in the mptable -> .... } But it seems that the code does not see all devices -- anymore -- not sure if it ever did, but I think to remember that's what happened at some point, or was at least intended. So now the code looks l scan_for_apic_devices(parent) { for(c_it=0; c_it < parent->links; c_it++) { for (child = parent->link[c_it].children; child; child = child->sibling) { .... if (child->path.type == DEVICE_PATH_APIC_CLUSTER) { // Found an APIC cluster, scan it for APICs smp_scan_for_apic_devices(child); } } } } So two more steps are necessary: - check all the downwards links of a device instead of just walking devices and checking their type. - run recursively in a special case on APIC clusters. This sounds a whole lot like something changed in the way "all_devices" works. And if "all_devices" does not mean "all devices" I am sure there are more places in our code that need similar fixes. > Maybe the real problem is related to the memory corruption seen with > printk? Not completely impossible, but I figured it's easier to ask the guy who rewrote the resource allocator if he knows something about how the intended behavior of "all_devices" ;-) - Maybe the behavior is intended, then we just need to check in Timothy's patch. - Maybe the behavior is not intended, but that's how the code works right now. Then we'd rather have to look at the resource allocator and decide if we want "all_devices" to mean "all devices", or whether we rename the variable, or redefine its meaning. - Maybe none of the above applies, then we need to do nasty stack corruption debugging. In this case it would be fundamentally wrong to touch either the device tree code or the mp table creation code until we fix the corruption in order to make sure we don't create funny special cases. So, if you have hints enlightening any of the maybes, please share! Stefan

I changed resource allocation to go through the tree because children of disabled devices shouldn't have allocated resources. - Maybe none of the above applies, then we need to do nasty stack corruption > debugging.

I don't see anywhere in the code where devices get added to the tree but not to the list of devices. I also don't remember a place where devices get removed from the all_devices list. > So, if you have hints enlightening any of the maybes, please share! > My suggestion would be to traverse the tree and the list and compare them. The problem is that printk was causing a hang for him. Thanks, Myles

This is the crux of the issue. all_devices does NOT mean "all devices", it means "all devices attached to the root node, which is all_devices". As the root node, usually the PCI bus and the APICs are visible. On my board, the APICs are all under an APIC cluster, so they are not immediately visible from the root node. Incidentally, there is code already in Coreboot (to generate the PCI device lists) that takes all_devices and simply probes the PCI downward link. It (sanely, IMHO) does not expect to see PCI devices on the all_devices root node. I don't have access to a board that I can generate before/after tables with at this time. This behavior is very simple to see though; if you turn on printk spew and look closely at the printed detected device tables on any amdfam10 board, you will see the root node only connects to the APIC cluster and the PCI root bus(es). If you have any more questions feel free to ask! Hopefully the root cause of the problem can be located and solved. Timothy Pearson Raptor Engineering
