Sorry, I thought it was straightforward. A value 1 of PCAT_COMPAT (bit 0) of MADT.Flags indicates that the system also has a PC-AT-compatible dual-8259 setup, i.e., the PIC. When PIC is not enabled for x86 machine, the PCAT_COMPAT bit needs to be cleared. Otherwise, the guest thinks there is a present PIC even it is booted with pic=off on QEMU. (I haven't seen real issue from Linux guest. The user of PIC inside guest seems only the pit calibration. Whether pit calibration is triggered depends on other things. But logically, current code is wrong, we need to fix it anyway. @Isaku, please share more info if you have) > The commit log and the subject should not repeat > what the diff already states. > >> --- >> hw/i386/acpi-common.c | 4 +++- >> 1 file changed, 3 insertions(+), 1 deletion(-) >> >> diff --git a/hw/i386/acpi-common.c b/hw/i386/acpi-common.c >> index 20f19269da40..0cc2919bb851 100644 >> --- a/hw/i386/acpi-common.c >> +++ b/hw/i386/acpi-common.c >> @@ -107,7 +107,9 @@ void acpi_build_madt(GArray *table_data, BIOSLinker *linker, >> acpi_table_begin(&table, table_data); >> /* Local APIC Address */ >> build_append_int_noprefix(table_data, APIC_DEFAULT_ADDRESS, 4); >> - build_append_int_noprefix(table_data, 1 /* PCAT_COMPAT */, 4); /* Flags */ >> + /* Flags. bit 0: PCAT_COMPAT */ >> + build_append_int_noprefix(table_data, >> + x86ms->pic != ON_OFF_AUTO_OFF ? 1 : 0 , 4); >> >> for (i = 0; i < apic_ids->len; i++) { >> pc_madt_cpu_entry(i, apic_ids, table_data, false); >> -- >> 2.34.1 >

Kirill, could you elaborate it? TDX guest cannot support PIC because the platform doesn't allow direct interrupt injection, only posted interrupts. For TDX guest kernel we had a patch[1] that forces no-PIC, but it is not upstreamable as it is a hack. I looked around to find The Right Way™ to archive the same effect and discovered that we only have PIC ops hooked up because kernel bypasses[2] PIC enumeration because PCAT_COMPAT is set. Which is wrong for TDX guest or other platforms without PIC. I am not aware about any user-visible issues due to it, but maybe they are just not discovered yet.
