One of the uses of chip_id is to find out all cores that are part of the same
chip. However ibm,chip_id property is not present in device-tree of PowerVM
Lpars. Hence lscpu output shows one core per socket and multiple cores.

Before the patch.

A nid is not a chip-id.

This obviously happens to work for the case you've identified above but
it's not something I'm happy to merge in general.

We could do a similar change in the topology code, but I'd probably like
it to be restricted to when we're running under PowerVM and there are no
chip-ids found at all.

I'm also not clear how it will interact with migration.

cheers

Agree that nid is not a chip-id.

So for PowerNV case and KVM guest, of_get_ibm_chip_id() always seems to
returns a valid chip-id. Its *only* in the PowerVM case that we are
returning nid as the fallback chip-id.


Do you think checking for OPAL firmware would help?

chip_id = of_get_ibm_chip_id(np);
if (chip_id == -1 && !firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_OPAL))
	chip_id = of_node_to_nid(np);

of_node_put(np);


or should we do

int topology_physical_package_id(int cpu)
{
	int chip_id = cpu_to_chip_id(cpu)
	if (chip_id == -1 && !firmware_has_feature(FW_FEATURE_OPAL))
		//Fallback to nid instead of chip-id.
....
	return chip_id;
}

On migration, this function would be triggered when the cpumasks are getting
updated. So I would expect this to continue working.

Or Am I missing someother migration related quirk?
