max_cpus is a weird property today.  On the one hand, it represents the maximum
CPUs a board can support and is used to validate the number of vcpus requested
by the user.

On the other hand, max_cpus can be set by the user in which case it is taken
to mean the number of physical sockets that should be advertised by the
firmware.  Furthermore, if max_cpus isn't explicitly set by the user, it's
defaulted to the number of smp_cpus.  But there's actually a second copy of
max_cpus that still represents the maximum cpus spported by the platform.

Yes, it's confusing.  So let's be a bit more obvious.  This patch introduces
a sockets parameter that allows a user to explicitly set the number of
advertised sockets apart from the number of maximum cpus.

This is something of a stop gap.  We really ought to specify a more rich
NUMA topology as machine options but that will come later.

By my reading this allows the user to modify this value. If so it is wrong. 

This is a fundamental property/limitation of the hardware. Expect qemu to 
crash if the value is modified.

max_cpus is complicated because it was used for multiple purposes.

I think max_cpus ought to be configurable.  The reason it's useful to 
configure it that it lets a downstream specify a recommended max cpu 
that's mostly relevant from a scalability perspective.  For instance, 
you may want to set the pc max_cpus to 64 since this is the highest that 
KVM supports today.

In this case, the machine cores should be rejecting totally invalid 
values to prevent crashes from occurring.  My reading of realview does 
not suggest that a crash would occur.  Are you speaking in general terms 
or do you think it will actually fail in realview?

I don't see any such uses.

    qemu_irq cpu_irq[4];
    ...
    for (n = 0; n < smp_cpus; n++) {
        cpu_irq[n] = irqp[ARM_PIC_CPU_IRQ];

I'm pretty sure bad things will happen there if smp_cpus is > 4.
Similar assumptions exist in apic.c, and probably others.

max_cpus was designed to set the upper limit of allowable cpus on a
system. The main intention for it was to offer limits to things like
SeaBIOS to tell it how many entries to put into the BIOS tables for
systems where we allow hotplug etc. It was not meant to be used to set
limits higher than what the system is able to support, like on with the
current ACPI implementation in SeaBIOS we cannot go above 255 on PC
hardware.

However I don't really see the point in allowing max_cpus to be
configurable on a system like this where 4 is the possible max, per what
Paul is saying. If the user wants to run < 4 cpus, he/she should specify
-smp X with 1 <= X <= 4.

Cheers,
Jes

Sorry this is wrong, max_cpus never meant to advertise the number of
sockets, it means the number of cores (ie. cpus) as the limit advertised
by firmware.

NACK this is just plain wrong!

Sorry Anthony, but max_cpus never meant number of sockets. It is used by
the BIOS to calculate table sizes for CPU entries, and that number is
based on cores, not sockets.

If you want to pass a number of sockets onto the BIOS, I will totally
support that, but you need to introduce FW_CFG_MAX_SOCKETS for that
instead, and tell the BIOS to use that for the SRAT.

Cheers,
Jes
