OSPM evaluates _EVT method to map the event. The CPU hotplug event eventually
results in start of the CPU scan. Scan figures out the CPU and the kind of
event(plug/unplug) and notifies it back to the guest. Update the GED AML _EVT
method with the call to \\_SB.CPUS.CSCN

Also, macro CPU_SCAN_METHOD might be referred in other places like during GED
intialization so it makes sense to have its definition placed in some common
header file like cpu_hotplug.h. But doing this can cause compilation break
because of the conflicting macro definitions present in cpu.c and cpu_hotplug.c
and because both these files get compiled due to historic reasons of x86 world
i.e. decision to use legacy(GPE.2)/modern(GED) CPU hotplug interface happens
during runtime [1]. To mitigate above, for now, declare a new common macro
ACPI_CPU_SCAN_METHOD for CPU scan method instead.
(This needs a separate discussion later on for clean-up)

one of the reasons is that you reusing legacy hw/acpi/cpu_hotplug.h,
see below for suggestion.

I don't particularly like exposing cpu hotplug internals for outside code
and then making that code do plumbing hoping that nothing will explode
in the future.

build_cpus_aml() takes event_handler_method to create a method that
can be called by platform. What I suggest is to call that method here
instead of trying to expose CPU hotplug internals and manually building
call path here.
aka:
  build_cpus_aml(event_handler_method = PATH_TO_GED_DEVICE.CSCN)
and then call here 
  aml_append(if_ctx, aml_call0(CSCN));
which will call  CSCN in GED scope, that was be populated by
build_cpus_aml() to do cpu scan properly without need to expose
cpu hotplug internal names and then trying to fixup conflicts caused by that.

PS:
we should do the same for memory hotplug, we see in context above

I understand your point but I've followed what was already existing.

For example,

build_dsdt()

{

        [...]

     acpi_dsdt_add_uart(scope, &memmap[VIRT_UART],
                        (irqmap[VIRT_UART] + ARM_SPI_BASE));
     if (vmc->acpi_expose_flash) {
         acpi_dsdt_add_flash(scope, &memmap[VIRT_FLASH]);
     }
     fw_cfg_acpi_dsdt_add(scope, &memmap[VIRT_FW_CFG]);
     virtio_acpi_dsdt_add(scope, memmap[VIRT_MMIO].base, 
memmap[VIRT_MMIO].size,
                          (irqmap[VIRT_MMIO] + ARM_SPI_BASE),
                          0, NUM_VIRTIO_TRANSPORTS);
     acpi_dsdt_add_pci(scope, memmap, irqmap[VIRT_PCIE] + ARM_SPI_BASE, 
vms);
     if (vms->acpi_dev) {
         build_ged_aml(scope, "\\_SB."GED_DEVICE,
                       HOTPLUG_HANDLER(vms->acpi_dev),
                       irqmap[VIRT_ACPI_GED] + ARM_SPI_BASE, 
AML_SYSTEM_MEMORY,
                       memmap[VIRT_ACPI_GED].base);
     } else {
         acpi_dsdt_add_gpio(scope, &memmap[VIRT_GPIO],
                            (irqmap[VIRT_GPIO] + ARM_SPI_BASE));
     }

       [...]

}

Refactoring all of this code will create a noise in this patch-set.

Although. I agree with your suggested change but I think this should be

carried in another patch-set.

I have to disagree with another patch-set on top as it introduces
unnecessary code changes, wich 'another patch-set' will put back.
(talking specifically about CPU hotplug)

Not to mention doing as it was suggested should reduce size of
your series and overall complexity.

In the x86 world and ARM, two different types of event handling 
mechanisms are
used: one based on GPE and the other on GED. The latter has its own 
placeholder
within the generic_event_device.c file, which also multiplexes other GED 
events.
Multiplexing AMLs for two different types of handlers into 
build_cpus_aml() seems
to be a fundamental mistake here. For CPU handling, this should also not 
be done
because x86 deals with legacy hotplug and modern hotplug differently but 
still
uses the same GPE-based event handling for both. Moreover, which type of 
handler
should be used depends upon the context from which build_cpus_aml() is 
called
and it would be ugly to demultiplex these inside the build_cpus_aml() code.

Therefore, my suggestion is:
1. Keep the CPU’s _EVT handling code in the generic_event_device.c as it is.
2. Pull out the event handler method and CPU scan call-related 
initialization entirely
     out of the CPU’s AML code (i.e., both in build_cpus_aml() and 
build_legacy_cpu_hotplug_aml()).
3. Remove the input parameter of event_handler in build_cpus_aml().
4. Create a separate function like build_gpe_aml() and use this function 
in the
      following places:

File: hw/i386/acpi-build.c

build_dsdt()
{
    [...]
     scope =  aml_scope("_GPE");
    [...]
     aml_append(dsdt, scope);

     if (pcmc->legacy_cpu_hotplug) {
         build_legacy_cpu_hotplug_aml(dsdt, machine, pm->cpu_hp_io_base);
     } else {
         CPUHotplugFeatures opts = {
             .acpi_1_compatible = true, .has_legacy_cphp = true,
             .smi_path = pm->smi_on_cpuhp ? "\\_SB.PCI0.SMI0.SMIC" : NULL,
             .fw_unplugs_cpu = pm->smi_on_cpu_unplug,
         };
         build_cpus_aml(dsdt, machine, opts, pc_madt_cpu_entry,
-                       pm->cpu_hp_io_base, "\\_SB.PCI0", "\\_GPE._E02");
+                      pm->cpu_hp_io_base, "\\_SB.PCI0");
+      build_gpe_aml(...,, ,"\\_GPE._E02")

     }
    [...]
}

That said, if you still wish you proceed with your suggestions I can go
ahead and do it but please understand that I'll have to put a check
to avoid adding call to CPU Scan for am/virt platform since we would
want to add that call as part of the GED/AML code. This is unnecessary
and would look ugly.

I'm not convinced by above arguments yet (perhaps I don't see a problem
you are observing), so I'd like to keep cpu hotplug isolated/not exposed
as much as possible unless it's proven that it will not work as is.

I just don't get why you have to call CPU Scan explicitly from arm/virt
side. (maybe my suggestion was lost in translation/was not clear enough)
Let's pretend that hw/i386/acpi-build.c is an arm/virt code and demo
what I was suggesting.

this way build_cpus_aml() will create and populate with scan
\\_SB.GED.CPEV method.

which is then called by 
GED._EVT()
    ...
    if cpuhotplug
          \\_SB.GED.CPEV()
    ...

there is no multiplexing of cpuhp event in build_cpus_aml,
the only event multiplexer is GED._EVT() as it should be.
And you don't have to expose cpu hotplug internals to any
other place[s].

PS:
For legacy cphp handling acpi/cpu.c has only _INI method
that is created when opts.has_legacy_cphp is true.
we should be able to get rid of it when 2.6 machine type is removed.
But ARM [or anything else] don't have to be aware of it
if you use static initializer like it's done in hw/i386/acpi-build.c
and just ignore non relevant fields.

I see. Perhaps, I failed to realise the semantics in the AML
sense i.e. exporting a call to a method belonging to one scope
to another (\\_SB.CPUS to \\_SB.GED). Yes, with above change
we can avoid calling \\_SB.CPUS.CSCN method direclty from
within GED _EVT. Sorry for the noise.

I will do the change.

Thanks

ok. thanks for the clarification.
