Subject: [PATCH RFC v3 02/21] ACPI: processor: Add support for processors
 described as container packages

From: James Morse <james.morse@....com>

ACPI has two ways of describing processors in the DSDT. From ACPI v6.5,
5.2.12:

"Starting with ACPI Specification 6.3, the use of the Processor() object
was deprecated. Only legacy systems should continue with this usage. On
the Itanium architecture only, a _UID is provided for the Processor()
that is a string object. This usage of _UID is also deprecated since it
can preclude an OSPM from being able to match a processor to a
non-enumerable device, such as those defined in the MADT. From ACPI
Specification 6.3 onward, all processor objects for all architectures
except Itanium must now use Device() objects with an _HID of ACPI0007,
and use only integer _UID values."

Also see https://uefi.org/specs/ACPI/6.5/08_Processor_Configuration_and_Control.html#declaring-processors

Duplicate descriptions are not allowed, the ACPI processor driver already
parses the UID from both devices and containers. acpi_processor_get_info()
returns an error if the UID exists twice in the DSDT.

The missing probe for CPUs described as packages creates a problem for
moving the cpu_register() calls into the acpi_processor driver, as CPUs
described like this don't get registered, leading to errors from other
subsystems when they try to add new sysfs entries to the CPU node.
(e.g. topology_sysfs_init()'s use of topology_add_dev() via cpuhp)

To fix this, parse the processor container and call acpi_processor_add()
for each processor that is discovered like this. The processor container
handler is added with acpi_scan_add_handler(), so no detach call will
arrive.

Qemu TCG describes CPUs using processor devices in a processor container.
For more information, see build_cpus_aml() in Qemu hw/acpi/cpu.c and
